[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. Here is my code: Point.hpp > #ifndef RAPTOR_POINT_HPP_INCLUDED_ > > #define RAPTOR_POINT_HPP_INCLUDED_ > > >> #include <boost/mpl/int.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/core/access.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/core/cs.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/core/coordinate_type.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/core/coordinate_system.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/core/coordinate_dimension.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/geometries/polygon.hpp> > > #include <boost/geometry/multi/geometries/multi_polygon.hpp> > > >> namespace raptor { > > >> template<typename T, int tDimension = 2> > > class Point { > > public: > > Point() = default;

[Log] Random "double free or corruption" in dtor of attribute_value_set
by robin.lorke＠jenoptik.com 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Hi Gentlemen, I have an application that is using Boost.Log. The application is long-term running (days, weeks, maybe months). Currently I am experiencing random crashes in my application that seem related to Boost.Log. I dont't say that is is a bug in Boost.Log, but probably I am doing something wrong. I am using version 1.55.0 but I also tried upgrading to version 1.61.0 but it is still happening there. I am currently able to reproduce the crash by forcing logs at a pace of 3 records per second. Then it takes up to 3 days for the crash to happen. The application is multi-threaded and therefore several threads may be logging at the same time. For that reason I chose "severity_logger_mt". It seems related to the destruction of objects of type attribute_value_set. This is a gdb stacktrace of the crash (gcc O0 build): (gdb) bt #0 0xb6bdbed8 in __GI_raise (sig=sig@entry=6) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:66 #1 0xb6bdf960 in __GI_abort () at abort.c:90 #2 0xb6c139fc in __libc_message (do_abort=2, fmt=0xb6cc8c44 "*** glibc detected *** %s: %s: 0x%s ***\n") at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/libc_fatal.c:200 #3 0xb6c1e17c in malloc_printerr (action=3, str=0xb6cc8d80 "double free or corruption (!prev)", ptr=<optimized out>) at malloc.c:4949 #4 0xb6b3fcb8 in boost::log::v2_mt_posix::attribute_value_set::~attribute_value_set() () from /usr/lib/libboost_log.so.1.55.0 #5 0xb6b42688 in boost::log::v2_mt_posix::record_view::public_data::destroy (boost::log::v2_mt_posix::record_view::public_data const*) () from /usr/lib/libboost_log.so.1.55.0 #6 0xb6b44c7c in boost::log::v2_mt_posix::core::push_record_move (boost::log::v2_mt_posix::record&) () from /usr/lib/libboost_log.so.1.55.0 #7 0xb6e66814 in Logger::addLog(Logger::LEVEL, char const*, char const*, int) () from /usr/lib/libtslog.so.1 #8 0x0005ba50 in addLogRusp (iMessageId=2, sMessage=<optimized out>, sProcess=0x8dee8 "Application", eLevel=Logger::LEVEL_INFO) at ../src/RLS-V/Platform/System.inl.h:303 #9 RLS::Application::fnThreadRuspOut (thread=...) at ../src/RLS-V/Application.cpp:1447 #10 0xb6e7aa4c in Thread::startFunction(void*) () from /usr/lib/libtscommon.so.1 #11 0xb6edae38 in start_thread (arg=0xb3eff460) at pthread_create.c:313 #12 0xb6c7c318 in ??

It's a char pointer. So we use an empty std::string as basis to concatenate the char* to it */ #define R_LOG_ID(x,y) BOOST_LOG_SEV (robot::log::appLogger::get(), y) << boost::log::add_value("LogID", x) << boost::log::add_value("FLF", ROBOT_FLF) #define R_LOG(x) R_LOG_ID(0, x) #define ROBOT_FLF std::string() + TOSTRING(__FILE__) + ":" + TOSTRING (__LINE__) + " (" + __FUNCTION__ + ")" While "R_LOG_ID" is the only one that is used currently. There are currently three sinks active: syslog, console and a custom sink sending log records via an IPC mechanism (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~./IPC/) I am currently testing if it will still happen if I deactivate one or more of those sinks. I imagine it will be hard to tell the exact problem from the information above but maybe you guys could point me in the right direction where to dig deeper. I will happily provide any missing information and/or code snippets that could help. Possibly there are well-known common mistakes that can lead to that memory corruption in attribute_value_set? Maybe something like lazy evaluation of log expressions or multi-threading issues? Many thanks in advance for any help! Robin Lorke

[statechart] Passing parameters from event to State Local Storage
by Christophe Bourez 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

I need to maintain a parameter into the state local storage. This parameter is initially contained in the event that causes the transition to the target state. I give hereafter a small illustrative example. typename sc = boost::statechart; class EvTest : public sc::event<EvTest> { public: EvTest(std::size_t val) : value(val) {} std::size_t getValue() const { return this->value; } private: std::size_t value; }; class MyStateMachine; class StSource; class StTarget; class StSource : public sc::simple_state<StSource, MyStateMachine> { public: typedef sc::custom_reaction<EvTest> reactions; sc::result react(const EvTest &event) { // How to pass event.getValue() to the target state ? transit<StTarget>(); } }; class StTarget : public sc::simple_state<StTarget, MyStateMachine> { public: StTarget(std::size_t val) : val(value) {} private: std::size_t value; }; Thanks, Christophe

[boost] [bjam] combinations of options
by Lorenzo Caminiti 19 Sep '16

19 Sep '16

Hello all, When I use bjam the following will compile my code with combinations of MSVC, GCC, and CLang for both shared and static linking: $ bjam toolset=msvc,gcc,clang link=shared,static # (1) Is there a way to define a variant, target, or something else in the Jamfiles so that I can shortcut the above by typing just the variant target at the command line: $ bjam all_toolset_link_combinations # equivalent to (1) above I am asking this just for convenience because I have a feature like toolset but with 30+ values so it'd be nice to shortcut it to a single target on the bjam command line. Thank you. --Lorenzo

[test] Init framework before dataset generation
by Florian Lindner 16 Sep '16

16 Sep '16

Hello, I try to use boost test with data test cases: std::vector<float> fibonacci() { std::cout << "Data Set" << std::endl; [...] } BOOST_DATA_TEST_CASE(datatest, boost::unit_test::data::make(fibonacci()), mapping) { std::cout << "Datatype" << typeid(mapping).name() << std::endl; } The problem of that is, that fibonacci is initialized before anything else. The order of initializations is: Data Set main init_unit_test Global Fixture That works fine here, but my fibonacci uses MPI which needs to initialized by MPI_Init. I want to do that initialization in the global fixture or int main or init_unit_tests, once for the entire test runner. Is there anything I can do about that and belay initialization of Data Set after one of the others? Thanks, Florian

iostreams: ceased devolopment?
by Christian Meesters 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

Hi, I noticed that there are numerous issues in the bug list, regarding boost iostreams. However, the current doc states Copyright 2004-2007 and Tickets do not receive responses. (I even read: "(I tried e-mailing Jonathan Turkanis directly, but the e-mail address on the website seems to be not used anymore)" in ticket 7574. So, my question is: I anyone maintaining this library? If not: I doubt that there is a good alternative, because iostreams just is convenient to use and a selling point to for boost. It would be a pitty. Best regards, Christian
