I have adapted the code from the following question's first answer for making a periodic timer: How do I make the boost/asio library repeat a timer?
I removed the "count" variable as the method I want to repeatedly execute doesn't take any parameter for computation.
Compiler fails with the following errors:
Error C2825 'F': must be a class or namespace when followed by '::' C:\.conan\wkypad\1\include\boost\bind\bind.hpp 75
Error C2510 'F': left of '::' must be a class/struct/union C:\.conan\wkypad\1\include\boost\bind\bind.hpp 75
Error C3646 'type': unknown override specifier C:\.conan\wkypad\1\include\boost\bind\bind.hpp 75
Error C4430 missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int C:\.conan\wkypad\1\include\boost\bind\bind.hpp 75
Error C2039 'type': is not a member of 'boost::_bi::result_traits<R,F>' C:\.conan\wkypad\1\include\boost\bind\bind.hpp 1284
What am I doing wrong? I guess my usage of boost::bind is wrong but I can't figure out the exact reason.
Here is the relevant part of my code
class ProjectBrowserComponent ...
private:
void fetchData(const boost::system::error_code& /*e*/,
boost::asio::deadline_timer* t);
std::vector<Project> projects;
ProjectsController pc;
std::future<std::vector<Project>> projectsFuture;
int interval_secs = 1;
...
template<typename R>
bool isReady(std::future<R> const& f)
{
Logger::writeToLog("check future");
return f.wait_for(std::chrono::seconds(-1)) == std::future_status::ready;
}
void ProjectBrowserComponent::initData() {
Logger::writeToLog("requesting projects");
projectsFuture = std::async(std::launch::async, &ProjectsController::getProjects, &pc);
Logger::writeToLog("requested projects");
boost::asio::io_service io_service;
boost::asio::deadline_timer timer(io_service, boost::posix_time::seconds(interval_secs));
timer.async_wait(boost::bind(&ProjectBrowserComponent::fetchData, boost::asio::placeholders::error, &timer));
io_service.run();
}
void ProjectBrowserComponent::fetchData(const boost::system::error_code& /*e*/,
boost::asio::deadline_timer* timer) {
if (isReady(projectsFuture)) {
projects = projectsFuture.get();
std::cout << "got projs";
}
else {
timer->expires_at(timer->expires_at() + boost::posix_time::seconds(interval_secs));
// Posts the event
timer->async_wait(boost::bind(&ProjectBrowserComponent::fetchData, boost::asio::placeholders::error, timer));
}
}
How about this:
timer.async_wait(boost::bind(&ProjectBrowserComponent::fetchData, this, boost::asio::placeholders::error, &timer));
If you bind member functions, you must bind them also to the correct instance of the object of the class. Here I bound it to this
, which I assume is what you're doing from the looks of your code.
Note from sehe from the comments:
It's important to note that this MUST stay valid for the entire duration of the async operation. A popular way to achieve this is is to make ProjectBrowserComponent
inherit from enable_shared_from_this
and bind to shared_from_this()
