I'm trying to use boost library 1.55.0 to create a shared memory.I have a example.cpp file which creates boost shared memory. Mexing of this file is successful,but throws the following exception while debugging "MATLAB.exe has triggered a breakpoint".Is this exception because of the version of the boost being incompatible with the matlab version? How to resolve this

this is the sfunction which I have to mex , debug and run .Though the mexing of the above code snippet is successful ,it throws an exception "MATLAB.exe has triggered a breakpoint" while debugging.
I can give you an example. Unfortunately I cannot test it with windows, but I have tested it on a UNIX system. The main idea is the same. In this case it is shared memory from an external binary to a Matlab mex function.
The external binary is:
#include <cstring>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/interprocess/shared_memory_object.hpp>
#include <boost/interprocess/mapped_region.hpp>
using namespace boost::interprocess;
const std::string payload("SHARED MEMORY CONTENT");
int main(void) {
shared_memory_object shm(open_or_create, "memory4mat" ,read_write);
shm.truncate(payload.size());
mapped_region mem(shm, read_write);
std::memcpy(mem.get_address(), payload.c_str(), mem.get_size());
do {
std::cout << '\n' << "Press a key to continue...";
} while (std::cin.get() != '\n');
shared_memory_object::remove("memory4mat");
return 0;
}
while the mex function is:
#include "mex.hpp"
#include "mexAdapter.hpp"
#include "MatlabDataArray.hpp"
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include "boost/interprocess/shared_memory_object.hpp"
#include "boost/interprocess/mapped_region.hpp"
using namespace boost::interprocess;
class MexFunction : public matlab::mex::Function {
public:
void operator()(matlab::mex::ArgumentList outputs, matlab::mex::ArgumentList inputs) {
matlab::data::ArrayFactory factory;
shared_memory_object shm(open_only, "memory4mat", read_only);
mapped_region mem(shm, read_only);
std::string payload(static_cast<const char *>(mem.get_address()), mem.get_size());
outputs[0] = factory.createCharArray(payload);
outputs[1] = factory.createScalar<int16_t>(mem.get_size());
}
};
it uses the C++ Interface and Data API for Matlab. To compile the two example you need to add the boost include directory as compiler options (shared memory is a header only feature in boost).
The external binary create a shared memory that contains the string "SHARED MEMORY CONTENT", and waits an enter from the user to remove the shared memory object.
The mex files opens the shared memory if exist (if the shared memory do not exist an error is reported and handled in Matlab, which is one of the reasons why I prefer C++ api) and copy its content in a Matlab char array. The function returns two values, the first is the content of the shared memory, the second is the length of the shared memory (the mapper uses all the memory, set with truncate).
This simple example uses only basic features and should work on Unix and Windows system, but again I cannot test on win.
A more complete example
Let's try with a more complete example about shared memories and Matlab Mex files. Let us write a very simple external binary that allows us to create/delete/read/write a shared memory. This binary has a lot of stuff hardcoded for simplicity, such as the name of the memory file ("shmem"):
// File: share_server.cpp
// g++ share_server.cpp -o share_server
#include <cstring>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/interprocess/shared_memory_object.hpp>
#include <boost/interprocess/mapped_region.hpp>
using namespace boost::interprocess;
static const std::size_t size = 20;
static const std::size_t wsize = 15;
static const char name[6] = "shmem";
static const char input[wsize] = "write in share";
char output[size];
inline void printHelp() {
std::cout << "Options:" << std::endl;
std::cout << " n) open a new 'shmem' memory" << std::endl;
std::cout << " d) delete a 'shmem' memory" << std::endl;
std::cout << " r) read from 'shmem' memory" << std::endl;
std::cout << " w) write to 'shmem' memory" << std::endl;
std::cout << " x) Exit" << std::endl;
}
inline void cmd_createShare() {
try {
shared_memory_object sm(create_only, name, read_write);
sm.truncate(size);
std::cout << "Shared object created" << std::endl;
} catch(std::exception & e) {
std::cout << "Create Error :: " << e.what() << std::endl;
}
}
inline void cmd_deleteShare() {
try {
shared_memory_object::remove(name);
std::cout << "Shared object deletetd" << std::endl;
} catch(std::exception & e) {
std::cout << "Delete Error:: " << e.what() << std::endl;
}
}
inline void cmd_readShare() {
try {
shared_memory_object sm(open_only, name, read_only);
mapped_region sh_mem(sm, read_only);
std::string ret(static_cast<const char *>(sh_mem.get_address()), sh_mem.get_size());
std::cout << ret << std::endl;
} catch(std::exception & e) {
std::cout << "Read Error:: " << e.what() << std::endl;
}
}
inline void cmd_writeShare() {
try {
shared_memory_object sm(open_only, name, read_write);
mapped_region sh_mem(sm, read_write);
std::memcpy(sh_mem.get_address(), input, wsize);
std::cout << "Write completed" << std::endl;
} catch(std::exception & e) {
std::cout << "Read Error:: " << e.what() << std::endl;
}
}
we can write 3 mex files (using the C++ api) in order to interact with the shared memory. The first one, the simplest, reads the content of the shared memory as a string and returns it to the Matlab workspace. The interface in Matlab syntax is something like:
function [value, read_size] = read_share(share_name)
...
end
and the C++ implementation is the following:
// File: read_share.cpp
#include "mex.hpp"
#include "mexAdapter.hpp"
#include "MatlabDataArray.hpp"
#include <string>
#include <cstring>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <vector>
#include <exception>
#include "boost/interprocess/shared_memory_object.hpp"
#include "boost/interprocess/mapped_region.hpp"
using namespace boost::interprocess;
using namespace matlab::data;
class MexFunction : public matlab::mex::Function {
private:
std::shared_ptr<matlab::engine::MATLABEngine> engine;
ArrayFactory factory;
void throwError(std::string errorMessage) {
engine->feval(matlab::engine::convertUTF8StringToUTF16String("error"),
0, std::vector<Array>({ factory.createScalar(errorMessage) }));
}
uint64_t read_shared_memory(const std::string & name, std::string & ret_value) {
try {
shared_memory_object sm(open_only, name.c_str(), read_only);
mapped_region sh_mem(sm, read_only);
ret_value += std::string(static_cast<const char *>(sh_mem.get_address()), sh_mem.get_size());
return ret_value.size();
} catch(std::exception & e) {
throwError(std::string("Reading error: ") + std::string(e.what()));
}
return 0;
}
void checkArguments(matlab::mex::ArgumentList inputs, matlab::mex::ArgumentList outputs) {
if (inputs.size() != 1)
throwError("Input must be of size 1");
if (inputs[0].getType() != ArrayType::CHAR)
throwError("First element must be a matlab char array");
if (outputs.size() > 2)
throwError("Too many outputs (required 1)");
}
public:
MexFunction() {
engine = getEngine();
}
void operator()(matlab::mex::ArgumentList outputs, matlab::mex::ArgumentList inputs) {
checkArguments(inputs, outputs);
const CharArray name_array = std::move(inputs[0]);
std::string name = name_array.toAscii();
std::string ret_string("");
uint64_t ret_size = read_shared_memory(name, ret_string);
outputs[0] = factory.createScalar(ret_string);
outputs[1] = factory.createScalar<uint64_t>(ret_size);
}
};
The second mex file is the write operation. It takes two input: the name of the shared memory and the string to write inside the memory. The mex checks the maximum size of the shared memory and stores no more than the available space. The function returns the bytes written in the The interface for the write function is something like:
function written_size = write_share(share_name, string)
...
end
and the implementation is:
// File: write_share.cpp
#include "mex.hpp"

#include "MatlabDataArray.hpp"
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
#include <cstring>

shared_memory_object sm(open_only, name.c_str(), read_write);
mapped_region sh_mem(sm, read_write);
uint64_t size = std::min(value.size(), sh_mem.get_size());
std::memcpy(sh_mem.get_address(), value.c_str(), size);
return size;
} catch(std::exception & e) {
throwError(std::string("Reading error: ") + std::string(e.what()));
}
return 0;
}
void checkArguments(matlab::mex::ArgumentList inputs, matlab::mex::ArgumentList outputs) {
if (inputs.size() != 2)
throwError("Input must be of size 2");
if (inputs[0].getType() != ArrayType::CHAR)
throwError("First element must be a matlab char array");
if (inputs[1].getType() != ArrayType::CHAR)
throwError("Second element must be a matlab char array to save");
if (outputs.size() > 1)
throwError("Too many outputs (required 1)");
}
public:
MexFunction() {
engine = getEngine();
}
void operator()(matlab::mex::ArgumentList outputs, matlab::mex::ArgumentList inputs) {
checkArguments(inputs, outputs);
const CharArray name_array = std::move(inputs[0]);
std::string name = name_array.toAscii();
const CharArray value_array = std::move(inputs[1]);
std::string value = value_array.toAscii();
uint64_t written = write_shared_memory(name, value);
outputs[0] = factory.createScalar<uint64_t>(written);
}
};
The last mex is the most complex and handles the creation and deletion of the shared memory. You will notice the presence of a destructor that handles the removal of shared memory when the mex is unloaded from Matlab. The interface takes a command in the form of "create" or "delete", a string with the name of the share and the size of the shared memory for creation (it must be an unsigned int - uint16(...)). The function returns the size of the shared memory (it should be equal to size):
function size_shmem = menage_mex(command, share_name, uint16(size))
...
end
the implementation is the following:
// File: menage_share.cpp

To compile the mex you can use the following script:
MEX_OPT = ['-I', '/path/to/boost'];
MEX_SRC = { ...
'menage_share.cpp', ...
'read_share.cpp', ...
'write_share.cpp' ...
};
for i = 1:length(MEX_SRC)
mex(MEX_OPT, MEX_SRC{i});
end
!g++ share_server.cpp -o share_server
and you can test them as follows:
(MATLAB) | (TERMINAL)
>> menage_share('create', 'shmem', uint64(20)) |
<< 20 |
>> write_share('shmem', 'Hello there') | $ ./share_server
<< 11 | ( ... help message ... )
| << r
| >> Hello there
I am new at programming Gtk gnome linux C application, and I am trying to learn from some source reagind and online gnome documentation but I can't do it because this is in my opinion very poor and bad. I have a problem understanding this following source: after creating a GObject of GApplication type, how can this main function call other parts of programs? (This is from gedit source) I learnt that GApplication doesn't include any pointer to some code.

I build one simple xfce panel plugin which dispalys a button labeled as 'Hello World". However, only half of the string can be displayed.
http://en.zimagez.com/miniature/debian807092016010347.png
The code is simple:
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <libxfce4panel/xfce-panel-plugin.h>
static void sample_construct(XfcePanelPlugin *plugin);
XFCE_PANEL_PLUGIN_REGISTER(sample_construct);
static void hello(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
{
g_print("Hello World\n");
}
static void sample_construct(XfcePanelPlugin *plugin)
{
GtkWidget *button;
button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("Hello World");
g_signal_connect (button, "clicked", G_CALLBACK (hello), NULL);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (plugin), button);
gtk_widget_show (button);
}
build and install with this script:
#!/bin/bash
gcc -Wall -shared -o libsample.so -fPIC sample.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libxfce4panel-1.0) $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0) || \
{ echo "Compiling failed!"; exit 10; }
cp libsample.so /usr/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins
cp sample.desktop /usr/share/xfce4/panel-plugins
OTHER INFO: xfce4.10, Debian 8 jessie.
You missed the "size-changed" signal.
If you add the following code it's going to work as expected:
static gboolean
sample_size_changed (XfcePanelPlugin *plugin,
gint size,
void *data)
{
GtkOrientation orientation;
orientation = xfce_panel_plugin_get_orientation (plugin);
if (orientation == GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL)
gtk_widget_set_size_request (GTK_WIDGET (plugin), -1, size);
else
gtk_widget_set_size_request (GTK_WIDGET (plugin), size, -1);
return TRUE;
}
static void sample_construct(XfcePanelPlugin *plugin)
{
...
g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (plugin), "size-changed",
G_CALLBACK (sample_size_changed), NULL);
gtk_widget_show_all (button);
}
Pay attention that you're also missing important callbacks such as "free-data" and "orientation-changed". Note that since Xfce 4.12, GTK+ 3.0 plugins are also supported, you only need to set X-XFCE-API=2.0 in .desktop file.

I am trying to compile a HAL API example on Netbeans. Netbeans shows warning and error about some header files. But I am able to compile my sample codes using following command line:
gcc `pkg-config --libs --cflags dbus-1 hal hal-storage dbus-glib-1 glib-2.0` main.c HalDemos.c HalDemos.h -o HalDemos -lpthread
How can apply this command to my Netbeans project?
Here the codes which I am trying to compile:

UPDATE:
Writing the command I used with $$() and adding it to additional compiler settings solved my problem.
Go to your project properties -> Build -> C Compiler -> Additional Options
Put your compiler flags here between $$() like:
$$(pkg-config --libs --cflags dbus-1 hal hal-storage dbus-glib-1 glib-2.0)
I'd like to call this code from my program using LLVM:
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
extern "C" void hello() {
std::cout << "hello" << std::endl;
}
class Hello {
public:
Hello() {
std::cout <<"Hello::Hello()" << std::endl;
};
int hello() {
std::cout<< "Hello::hello()" << std::endl;
return 99;
};
};
I compiled this code to llvm byte code using clang++ -emit-llvm -c -o hello.bc hello.cpp and then I want to call it from this program:
#include <llvm/ExecutionEngine/ExecutionEngine.h>
#include <llvm/ExecutionEngine/GenericValue.h>
#include <llvm/ExecutionEngine/JIT.h>
#include <llvm/LLVMContext.h>
#include <llvm/Module.h>
#include <llvm/Target/TargetSelect.h>
#include <llvm/Support/MemoryBuffer.h>
#include <llvm/Support/IRReader.h>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
using namespace llvm;
void callFunction(string file, string function) {
InitializeNativeTarget();
LLVMContext context;
string error;
MemoryBuffer* buff = MemoryBuffer::getFile(file);
assert(buff);
Module* m = getLazyBitcodeModule(buff, context, &error);
ExecutionEngine* engine = ExecutionEngine::create(m);
Function* func = m->getFunction(function);
vector<GenericValue> args(0);
engine->runFunction(func, args);
func = m->getFunction("Hello::Hello");
engine->runFunction(func, args);
}
int main() {
callFunction("hello.bc", "hello");
}
(compiled using g++ -g main.cpp 'llvm-config --cppflags --ldflags --libs core jit native bitreader')
I can call the hello() function without any problems.
My question is: how can I create a new instance of the Hello class using LLVM?
I'm getting a segmentation fault when I call Hello::Hello()
Thanks for any hints!!
Manuel
Running clang++ -emit-llvm on the given source won't emit Hello::Hello, and m->getFunction("Hello::Hello") wouldn't find it even if it were emitted. I would guess it's crashing because func is null.
Trying to directly call functions which aren't extern "C" from the LLVM JIT is generally not recommended... I'd suggest writing a wrapper like the following, and compiling it with clang (or using the clang API, depending on what you're doing):
extern "C" Hello* Hello_construct() {
return new Hello;
}
