boost-thread

Using Visual Studio 2008 and Boost Libraries 1.46.1 I want to compile and link the following with the /CLR flag: #include <boost/thread/thread.hpp> void run() {} int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { boost::thread t(run); } The first error is about a forward-declared dummy-struct in boost::thread. This post works around this by declaring: namespace boost { struct thread::dummy {}; } Sure, I now can compile, but then I get the linker warning Warning 1 warning LNK4248: unresolved typeref token (0100001F) for 'boost.detail.win32._SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES'; image may not run Running the application

I have the following code: #include <string> #include <boost/thread/tss.hpp> static boost::thread_specific_ptr<string> _tssThreadNameSptr; I get the following error g++ -c -I$BOOST_PATH tssNaming.h tssNaming.h:7: error: 'string' was not declared in this scope But I am including string in my #include . You have to use std::string since it's in the std namespace. string is in the std namespace. You have the following options: Write using namespace std; after the include and enable all the std names: then you can write only string on your program. Write using std::string after the include to

I've searched and found out that a lot of people have the same problem, but no solution exists. I'm using CMake to generate Makefiles for MinGW and when compiling I'm getting an error: CMakeFiles\boosttest.dir/objects.a(main.cpp.obj):main.cpp:(.text+0x5e): undefined reference to `_imp___ZN5boost6thread4joinEv' CMakeFiles\boosttest.dir/objects.a(main.cpp.obj):main.cpp:(.text+0x71): undefined reference to `_imp___ZN5boost6threadD1Ev' CMakeFiles\boosttest.dir/objects.a(main.cpp.obj):main.cpp:(.text+0x88): undefined reference to `_imp___ZN5boost6threadD1Ev' This seems to be a linking problem, I

boost library version 1.53 Debian Linux 6.0 ( Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 on x86_64 ) It is hard to test own software when valgrind log contains lots of warnings. So with no changes I built the HTTP server3 example and run it under the Valgrind. Take a look, please. Did I miss something? valgrind --tool=helgrind --log-file=valgrind.log ./server3 0.0.0.0 83 5 /root/server3 Here is the Helgrind log (edited to 30000 body characters limit, full log http://pastebin.com/Vkbr9vsA ): Helgrind, a thread error detector Copyright (C) 2007-2012, and GNU GPL'd, by OpenWorks LLP et al.

I have a worker class like the one below: class Worker{ public: int Do(){ int ret = 100; // do stuff return ret; } } It's intended to be executed with boost::thread and boost::bind, like: Worker worker; boost::function<int()> th_func = boost::bind(&Worker::Do, &worker); boost::thread th(th_func); th.join(); My question is, how do I get the return value of Worker::Do? Thanks in advance. I don't think you can get the return value. Instead, you can store the value as a member of Worker: class Worker{ public: void Do(){ int ret = 100; // do stuff m_ReturnValue = ret; } int m_ReturnValue; } And use

These days I am reading the pdf Designing MT programs . It explains that the user MUST explicitly call detach() on an object of class std::thread in C++0x before that object gets out of scope. If you don't call it std::terminate() will be called and the application will die. I usually use boost::thread for threading in C++. Correct me if I am wrong but a boost::thread object detaches automatically when it get out of scope. Is seems to me that the boost approach follow a RAII principle and the std doesn't. Do you know if there is some particular reason for this? This is indeed true, and this
