[interprocess] Determine size of managed_shared_memory
by Kai Benndorf 12 Oct '19

12 Oct '19

Hi all, I want to create a managed_shared_memory in exactly the size I needed. Therefore I do something like this: size = sizeof( common_managed_shared_memory ); size += sizeof( MyClassInSharedMem ); managed_shared_memory segment(create_only, "name", size ); MyClassInSharedMem allocates itself some memory by segment->allocate(). I added this also to the size, but get a boost::interprocess::bad_alloc exception on allocating this additional memory. Are there some magic bytes I forgot to add? Many thanks in advance Kai

Weird compilation error when using boost::geometry
by 邓尧 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

Hi, I have implemented my own "point" as specified by the point concept http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_59_0/libs/geometry/doc/html/geometry/refere… When I use it along with boost::geometry::model::polygon/multi_polygon, GCC refuses to compile, tested on GCC 4.9/5.2. What's even more weird is that CLANG 3.6 would happy accept my code. BTW, the Point implementation is part of a large project, it difficult to replace it with boost::geometry::model::point.

[serialize] using virtual inheritance causes compiler error
by Douwe Gelling 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

Hi all, When trying to serialize a class with a virtual base class, I'm getting compilation errors. It seems to be part of a bug in type_traits, but I'm wondering if anyone knows a workaround for making it work anyhow. ultimately, the error boils down to "error: virtual function 'A::foo' has more than one final overrider in 'boost_type_traits_internal_struct_X'", using the code listing below.. It's simplified as much as possible, but obviously I need virtual inheritance due to using diamond inheritance. #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/base_object.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/export.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/serialization.hpp> struct A { virtual ~A(){}; virtual void foo() = 0; template <class Archive> void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) { } }; struct B : public virtual A { virtual void foo() { } template <class Archive> void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) { ar& boost::serialization::base_object<A>(*this); } }; struct C : public B { template <class Archive> void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) { ar& boost::serialization::base_object<B>(*this); } }; BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(C); int main() { C c; return 0; }

[MultiIndex] Prevent automatic re-indexing after "modify"?
by Deniz Bahadir 06 Feb '17

06 Feb '17

Hi guys, Hi Joaquín, I have a question concerning the automatic re-indexing of Boost.MultiIndex indexes. Is it somehow possible to modify a member of the element-type that is used as key for (another) index without triggering automatic re-indexing? (Of course, I want to be able to trigger manual re-indexing later.) Or is it at least possible to adjust the code so that this can be achieved? To understand my question, here is my use-case and why I need it. I have a boost::multi_index_container with multiple indexes (one hashed_unique and four hashed_non_unique). I am accessing a range of elements through a hashed_non_unique index 'A'. Then I am iterating through these elements and want to modify the value of a member 'M' of each element. However, that member is used when calculating the key for another hashed_non_unique index 'B'. Therefore, I must use the "modify" function of index 'A'. The problem is now that it takes forever to modify the entire range. (We are talking about 100 thousands if not millions of entries that need to be modified.) Probably because re-indexing is triggered after each call to "modify". However, in my case it should be perfectly fine to postpone the re-indexing after I modified the entire range, because I am not going to access any element through index 'B' until I finished modifying the entire range. As a workaround I removed index 'B' from the container and declared the element-member 'M' as mutable. This allows me to directly change the value of 'M'. The speedup is astonishing. It now finishes almost in no time. But this workaround is not really feasible as it requires reimplementing index 'B' by somehow tracking the information outside of the multi_index_container. Therefore, my question really is: Is it possible to provide an "unsafe_modify" function, which does the same as "modify" but does not trigger automatic re-indexing, and an "refresh_index" function, which (manually) triggers the re-indexing? Thanks, Deniz

How to compile boost-thread for Universal Windows?
by Petr Hudeček 31 Dec '16

31 Dec '16

Hello, I'm trying to use the boost-thread library in a Windows Runtime (UWP) project. The tutorial at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2014/07/18/using-boost-libraries-in… doesn't seem to work anymore. If I compile boost sources, either from the primary distribution, or from https://github.com/wpbest/Boost, I can compile it as a static library but when I link to it from the project, I receive linker errors that four identifiers could not be found. These identifiers are API functions such as CreateWaitableTimer. Is there a way to use boost-thread from a UWP project despite this? Perhaps setting some preprocessor symbols? Thank you, Petr Hudecek

Echo AsyncReadStream/AsyncWriteStream example
by Adam Zegelin 30 Dec '16

30 Dec '16

Hi. Is there a boost::asio example that shows an implementation of AsyncReadStream/AsyncWriteStream that copies write->read? i.e. echoes what was sent I’m trying to emulate serial device that takes input commands separated by \r, executes them, and then outputs the result. i.e., I'm trying to create a fake asio::serial_port that can read input, process it and then provide output. The device I'm trying to emulate echoes the sent characters. Commands are executed once '\r' is received. Ideally the fake serial port also echos the received data immediately. I've got the read part working by implementing async_write_some(…), but I'm having trouble implementing the async_read_some(…) method so that it can be called at anytime, especially when io_service.run() is run from multiple threads. Thanks, Adam
