Clarification on statechart post_event vs process_event within react()
by John McCabe 10 Jan '22

10 Jan '22

Hi, Apologies if this has already been answered/clarified, but my search of the internet to try to get a definitive answer, at least one I recognised as being definitive, was unsuccessful. Below I have posted some source code, based on the stopwatch example from the tutorial, but using an 'external' object to delegate the actual handling of event stuff to and using the state, rather than simple_state base class, and some other tweaks. This is a cut down version of something that someone I work with has devised, but I just wanted to get a clear answer on whether process_event() should be getting called in cases like this. I think it probably should not since, in the code below, you change state (with a state object's destructor being executed) whilst you're executing that state's react(EvStartStop) function. If someone can confirm this is the correct interpretation that would be very much appreciated. Any questions, feel free to ask (BTW - I'm compiling for C++17) John PS - In case it's of any use, the output from running this code is: ------ Entered Active Entered Stopped Stopped - payload2 m_charValue: a Exited ~Stopped <<<--- This is the bit I don't like the look of because...

Replace icpx with icpc
by Borchert, Christopher B ERDC-RDE-ITL-MS CIV 10 Aug '21

10 Aug '21

I'm trying to build Boost 1.76 from source on SLES 15 using Intel 19.1.3.304 (and GCC 10.2.0 underneath). Simply, how to I get b2 not to use icpx? With icpc it builds but icpx gives ./b2 toolset=intel-linux icpx: error while loading shared libraries: libimf.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I've tried everything and resorted to altering $PATH to remove icpx, which is how I know that's the problem. Thanks, Chris

UUID
by Ming Cheng 30 Jul '21

30 Jul '21

I have a UUID requirement as: * Each session will also be represented with a Universally Unique ID (UUID), which should be a current timestamp * a unique UUID value set by the customer as a 64-bit value. CME Group recommends using the system timestamp which represents the number of microseconds since epoch (Jan 1, 1970) as the timestamp. * I also need to save it in a Linux file and rebuild the UUID from the saved value. Wondering whether boost UUID code can support it? I checked online document and seems to me quite difficulty except archiving.

g++ linking error with lboost_program_options
by Stefano Gragnani 27 Jul '21

27 Jul '21

The development system is: MacBook Pro Intel i9 MacOS Big Sur 11.4 gcc version 11.1.0 (Homebrew GCC 11.1.0_1) clang version 12.0.0 I'm having trouble compiling some examples from the book 'Boost C ++ Application Development Cookbook’. The problem occurs only with g ++, with clang there is no error. Mistakes only occur when linking to -lboost_program_options, -lboost_system and -lboost_filesystem, with any other library (eg -lboost_chrono) everything is fine. Furthermore, it should be noted that by linking with -lboost_system and -lboost_filesystem no compilation / linking errors are obtained but we get a SEGMENTATION FAULT (ONLY when compiling with g++, compiling with Clang the program run fine), instead linking with -lboost_program_options results in linking errors. This is the example: #include <boost/program_options.hpp> #include <iostream> namespace opt = boost::program_options; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { // Constructing an options describing variable and giving it a // textual description "All options" opt::options_description desc("All options"); // When we are adding options, first parameter is a name // to be used in command line. Second parameter is a type // of that option, wrapped in value<> class. Third parameter // must be a short description of that option. desc.add_options() ("apples", opt::value<int>(), "how many apples do you have") ("oranges", opt::value<int>(), "how many oranges do you have") ("help", "produce help message") ; // Variable to store our command line arguments opt::variables_map vm; // Parsing and storing arguments opt::store(opt::parse_command_line(argc, argv, desc), vm); // Must be called after all the parsing and storing opt::notify(vm); if (vm.count("help")) { std::cout << desc << "\n"; return 1; } std::cout << "Fruits count: " << vm["apples"].as<int>() + vm["oranges"].as<int>() << std::endl; } and these are the errors: Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "__ZN5boost15program_options11to_internalERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE", referenced from: __ZN5boost15program_options11to_internalINSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEEEESt6vectorIS7_SaIS7_EERKS8_IT_SaISB_EE in ccmlvHtI.o "__ZN5boost15program_options16validation_error12get_templateB5cxx11ENS1_6kind_tE", referenced from: __ZN5boost15program_options16validation_errorC1ENS1_6kind_tERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEESA_i in ccmlvHtI.o "__ZN5boost15program_options19options_descriptionC1ERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEEjj", referenced from: _main in ccmlvHtI.o "__ZN5boost15program_options20invalid_option_valueC1ERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE", referenced from: __ZN5boost15program_options8validateIicEEvRNS_3anyERKSt6vectorINSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIT0_St11char_traitsIS7_ESaIS7_EEESaISB_EEPT_l in ccmlvHtI.o "__ZN5boost15program_options22error_with_option_nameC2ERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEES9_S9_i", referenced from: __ZN5boost15program_options16validation_errorC1ENS1_6kind_tERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEESA_i in ccmlvHtI.o "__ZN5boost15program_options3argB5cxx11E", referenced from: __ZNK5boost15program_options11typed_valueIicE4nameB5cxx11Ev in ccmlvHtI.o "__ZN5boost15program_options6detail7cmdline21set_additional_parserENS_9function1ISt4pairINSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEESA_ERKSA_EE", referenced from: __ZN5boost15program_options25basic_command_line_parserIcE12extra_parserENS_9function1ISt4pairINSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEESA_ERKSA_EE in ccmlvHtI.o "__ZN5boost15program_options6detail7cmdlineC2ERKSt6vectorINSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEESaIS9_EE", referenced from: __ZN5boost15program_options25basic_command_line_parserIcEC1EiPKPKc in ccmlvHtI.o "__ZN5boost15program_optionslsERSoRKNS0_19options_descriptionE", referenced from: _main in ccmlvHtI.o "__ZNK5boost15program_options22abstract_variables_mapixERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE", referenced from: __ZNK5boost15program_options13variables_mapixERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE in ccmlvHtI.o "__ZNK5boost15program_options22error_with_option_name23substitute_placeholdersERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE", referenced from: __ZTVN5boost15program_options20invalid_option_valueE in ccmlvHtI.o __ZTVN5boost15program_options16validation_errorE in ccmlvHtI.o __ZTVN5boost10wrapexceptINS_15program_options16validation_errorEEE in ccmlvHtI.o __ZTVN5boost10wrapexceptINS_15program_options20invalid_option_valueEEE in ccmlvHtI.o "__ZNK5boost15program_options29value_semantic_codecvt_helperIcE5parseERNS_3anyERKSt6vectorINSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEESaISB_EEb", referenced from: __ZTVN5boost15program_options11typed_valueIicEE in ccmlvHtI.o ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status The terminal process "zsh '-c', 'g++-11 -g -I/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.76.0/include/ -I/usr/local/include/ -L/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.76.0/lib/ -lboost_program_options -std=gnu++20 Chapter01/01_A_program_options_base/main.cpp -o Chapter01/01_A_program_options_base/main'" terminated with exit code: 1.

Trouble compiling with float128 data type
by Stefano Gragnani 22 Jul '21

22 Jul '21

Hi, I'm having trouble compiling code that contains float128 data type. I'm using MacOS Big Sur 11.4. Compiler: gcc version 11.1.0 (Homebrew GCC 11.1.0_1) I have no other problems with Boost, the only problem is when I use float128. Please note that I have no problem compiling using libquadmath without using Boost using the __float128 data type. I use Visual Studio Code: "tasks": [ { "label": "Build with g++ 11", "type": "shell", "command": "g++-11", "args": [ "-g", "-I/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.76.0/include/", "-I/usr/local/include/", "-L/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.76.0/lib/", "-L/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/11.1.0_1/lib/gcc/11/", "-L/usr/local/Cellar/gmp/6.2.1/lib/", "-L/usr/local/Cellar/mpfr/4.1.0/lib/", "-lmpfr", "-lgmp", "-lquadmath", "-lboost_system", "-lboost_filesystem", "-std=c++20", "'-fext-numeric-literals'", "float128_example.cpp", "-o", "main" ], "group": { "kind": "build", "isDefault": true } }, There are other libraries (gmp, mpfr, ...) because I have compiled several examples taken from the Boost site (such as, for example, automatic_differentation.cpp, GMP_example.cpp, MPFR_example.cpp etc.) and they all compile and run correctly. I tried to compile the following example: #include <boost/cstdfloat.hpp> // For float_64_t, float128_t. Must be first include! //#include <boost/config.hpp> #include <boost/multiprecision/float128.hpp> #include <boost/math/special_functions.hpp> // For gamma function. #include <boost/math/constants/constants.hpp> // For constants pi, e ... #include <typeinfo> // #include <cmath> // for pow function. int main() { try { //[float128_example_3 // Always use try'n'catch blocks to ensure any error messages are displayed. //`Ensure that all possibly significant digits (17) including trailing zeros are shown. std::cout.precision(std::numeric_limits<boost::float64_t>::max_digits10);

geometry: knn search of point to many linestrings?
by Jens Thiele 14 Jul '21

14 Jul '21

Hi, I have lots of linestrings and want to find the k nearest linestrings to some point. Looking at the example /libs/geometry/doc/index/src/examples/rtree/polygons_shared_ptr.cpp I first thought this should be close to the solution and I just could replace the polygons with linestrings. But now I think the nearest query in that example only finds the nearest polygon bounding boxes and not the nearest polygons. Am I correct? If yes, how would one extend that example to find the nearest polygons? Greetings Jens

[Serialization] Xml serialization extremely slow after upgrade to boost 1.74
by Elizabeta Petreska 14 Jul '21

14 Jul '21

Hi I upgraded my project to use boost 1.74 instead of boost 1.49. After the upgrade serialization time for my project archive is extremely slow. With boost 1.49 my project archive was serialized about 1 to 2 minutes. With boost 1.74 it takes more than 50 minutes (I stopped the process so I do not know the exact time it takes) to do the serialization. I am experiencing this only when doing xml serialization. Binary serialization is good, maybe just one second difference between 1.49 and 1.74. What could be the problem with xml serialization ? Repeatedly stopping and playing the debugger gets me into this function in the call stack: save_start i.e in save(*) where it saves the name of the attribute in the xml archive. and then in save_iterator. basic_xml_oarchive<Archive>::save_start(const char *name) { if(NULL == name) return; // be sure name has no invalid characters std::for_each(name, name + std::strlen(name), detail::XML_name<const char>()); end_preamble(); if(depth > 0){ this->This()->put('\n'); indent(); } ++depth; this->This()->put('<'); this->This()->save(name); (*) pending_preamble = true; indent_next = false; } And then save(name) calls this function template<class InputIterator> void save_iterator(std::wostream &os, InputIterator begin, InputIterator end){ typedef iterators::wchar_from_mb< iterators::xml_escape<InputIterator> > xmbtows; std::copy( xmbtows(begin), xmbtows(end), boost::archive::iterators::ostream_iterator<wchar_t>(os) ); }

[Boost.Python] Making Python classes and functions available to C++
by Sean Farrow 13 Jul '21

13 Jul '21

Hi all, What is the easiest way of making Python classes and functions available to external C++ applications. The Boost.Python documentation seems to show making C++ classes available to Python, but I can't find anything that shows going the other way. Any help appreciated. Kind regards Sean.
