[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

boost::filtered_graph filtering on vertex color... if I only had a colormap
by Brian Davis 19 Jul '19

19 Jul '19

Lets say I have a graph g (of type graph_t) and a color map (boy I wish I had a colormap): typedef boost::property_map<graph_t, boost::vertex_color_t>::type color_map_t; or is it? auto indexmap = boost::get(boost::vertex_index, g); auto colors = boost::make_vector_property_map<boost::default_color_type>(indexmap); or maybe? auto indexmap = boost::get(boost::vertex_index, g); auto colors = boost::make_vector_property_map<boost::vertex_color_t>(indexmap); or possibly some goop found on the internet? boost::make_iterator_property_map(color_map.begin(), boost::get(boost::vertex_index, data_->g), color_map[0]) or other internet goop? typedef boost::property_map<GraphType, boost::vertex_color_t>::type color_map_t; color_map_t colorMap; boost::color_map(colorMap)) or other internet goop?? std::vector<int> colorMap(num_vertices(g), boost::white_color); so confused... (certainly not surprised why bgl is not a part of stl) Can someone help explain the various types and ways of specifying colormaps and the logic for each way and means? and a function (if I could get that far without VS syntax highlighter going bonkers and gobs of compiler errors.. you know the type): make_pretty(g, colormap ) which colors the graph colormap and a filter struct for boost::filtered_graph<Graph, EdgePredicate, VertexPredicate> (where I wonder why if I only want to filter vertices I have to set boost::keep_all for EdgePredicate... sigh... I know the answer... and also know how long it found me to find/figure out boost::keep_all - and if you are looking for boost::keep_all and found it here... your welcome ;-) ) and modifying (probably incorrectly) boost::filtered_graph example to: template <typename ColorMap> struct vertex_color_filter_eq { vertex_color_filter_eq() { } vertex_color_filter_eq(ColorMap colormap/*, boost::default_color_type c*/) : m_colormap(colormap)/*, m_c(c)*/ { } template <typename Vertex> bool operator()(const Vertex& v) const { return 0 < get(m_colormap, v); //return c < get(m_colormap, v); } ColorMap m_colormap; //boost::default_color_type m_c; }; auto indexmap = boost::get(boost::vertex_index, g); auto colors = boost::make_vector_property_map<boost::default_color_type>(indexmap); // some where here I would call make_pretty(g, colors) typedef property_map<graph_t, boost::vertex_color_t>::type ColorMap_t; vertex_color_filter<ColorMap_t> filter(colors); // boost::filtered_graph<graph_t, boost::keep_all, VertexPredicate> boost::filtered_graph<graph_t, boost::keep_all, vertex_color_filter> fg(g, filter); // Later say if I could get it compile and better if it compiled and worked I could move on and auto color = boost::red_color; typedef property_map<graph_t, boost::vertex_color_t>::type ColorMap_t; vertex_color_filter<ColorMap_t> filter(colors, color); boost::filtered_graph<graph_t, boost::keep_all, vertex_color_filter> fg(g, filter); Maybe if I color them yellow, I can then reach the wizard pull back the curtain and ask how to create a color map... If I only had a color map.

Boost Test thread safety
by Dan Field 21 Feb '19

21 Feb '19

Hi folks: I'm trying to identify whether or not the boost Test library is thread safe in the sense that multiple threads can simultaneously interact with the library's various macros and API. I'm more interested in a single test being multi-threaded than being able to run multiple test cases simultaneously. In early documentation of the Test library (version 1.58.0 and before) , there's a section in the introduction called "Open issues" that indicates that the library is not thread-safe. However, the documentation after 1.58.0 was substantially re-written, and I don't see any discussion regarding thread safety at all. The question remains. is the Test library thread-safe or not? If there is a definitive statement regarding this issue, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

[boost.test] Colors
by Udo Steinbach 20 Feb '19

20 Feb '19

Ahoi! I use boost.test and have now updated to boost v1.68 on Windows, working in standard console. Now Test has colored output, YEAH. The result you see in the picture https://www2.pic-upload.de/img/36193998/no_error_detected.png Notice that I don't use the standard color scheme. With set BOOST_TEST_COLOR_OUTPUT=1 text is light green on gray, bad to read. set BOOST_TEST_COLOR_OUTPUT=0 does black on gray. After that the colors are set to my scheme. Now error result with set BOOST_TEST_COLOR_OUTPUT=1: https://www2.pic-upload.de/img/36193997/failure.png Light red on gray, OK to read, but reset to dark red on gray. I have to use the color command to reset the colors. With command line options it's all the same. Hmmm, how useful can colors be, if the standard output (no error detected) is only one short line?

ASIO: Writing Composed Operations
by Cristian Morales Vega 26 Jan '19

26 Jan '19

Hi, I was looking at https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/libs/beast/doc/html/beast/using_io/w… and came up with a question I can't answer: In https://github.com/boostorg/beast/blob/develop/example/echo-op/echo_op.cpp#… why does it use the AsyncStream associated executor without even looking at the potentially different (right?) Handler associated executor? Regards.

ASIO vs Beast DynamicBuffer use
by Cristian Morales Vega 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

Hi, I have just noticed that while ASIO passes DynamicBuffers as && (https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_68_0/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/async_r…) Beast passes them via reference (https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_68_0/libs/beast/doc/html/beast/ref/boost__…) I'm guessing this happens because ASIO thinks you are going to use dynamic_string_buffer/dynamic_vector_buffer as DynamicBuffer, while Beast thinks you are going to use flat_buffer/multi_buffer. In the second case doesn't make sense to give ownership of the DynamicBuffer to the initiation function because then you would not be able to look at the received data when the operation completes. Since ASIO DynamicBuffer implementations are just adaptors over string/vectors that you keep, it makes sense to move those adaptors, you still keep the string/vector with the data. Have I got it right? But this raises the question: what should I use in my own initiating functions? Regards.

error_code using c++11 and boost
by Lars 07 Dec '18

07 Dec '18

Hello, A project that uses Boost 1.6X (filesystem, uuid, asio) and C++14 on multiplatform. Does it make sense to use std::error_code in this project ? The concern is compatibility between boost and std. The filesystem_error exception will return a boost ::system::error_code which is not compatible with std::error_code as far as I can tell. Exception is not an option. Would it be possible for boost to implement some sort of convertion method from boost::system::error_code to std::errror_code? Thanks kind regards, Lars

The upcoming 1.69 release of Boost.System has built-in support for std::error_code. If you need to use earlier versions, then you can create a bridge between the two: http://breese.github.io/2016/06/18/unifying-error-codes.html

LLVM bitcode for Boost libraries?
by Osman Zakir 06 Dec '18

06 Dec '18

I want to build a project I have, which has to link against Boost.System, to WebAssembly, and it seems like I have to generate LLVM bitcode for it first. Is it possible to use the bootstrapper that comes with the Boost distribution to do this on Windows 10? The project in question is on GitHub here: https://github.com/DragonOsman/currency_converter . I switched out the Asio in the Boost distribution with the official Emscripten port of Asio, found here: https://github.com/emscripten-ports/asio . But I don't know which version of Boost.Asio it's using so I'd like some clarification on that if possible (I opened this issue there: https://github.com/emscripten-ports/asio/issues/2 and have just now updated the question to ask what version of Asio is being used for the port). [https://avatars0.githubusercontent.com/u/18173932?s=400&v=4]<https://github.com/emscripten-ports/asio/issues/2> Update of Asio port? · Issue #2 · emscripten-ports/asio<https://github.com/emscripten-ports/asio/issues/2> Sorry if this is an unwelcome question, but I want to ask if there'll ever be an update to this port of Asio to Emscripten/WebAssembly. I notice it's from 2015.
