I am trying to use the Boost 1.60.0 library with Intel Pin 2.14-71313-msvc12-windows. The following piece of code is the simple implementation I did to try things out:
#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
#include "pin.H"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sstream>
#include <time.h>
#include <boost/lockfree/spsc_queue.hpp>
#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp>
namespace boost_network{
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <boost/array.hpp>
}
//Buffersize of lockfree queue to use
const int BUFFERSIZE = 1000;
//Tracefiles for error / debug purpose
std::ofstream TraceFile;
//String wrapper for boost queue
class statement {
public:
statement(){ s = ""; }
statement(const std::string &n) : s(n) {}
std::string s;
};
//string queue to store inserts
boost::lockfree::spsc_queue<statement, boost::lockfree::capacity<BUFFERSIZE>> buffer; // need lockfree queue for multithreading
//Pin Lock to synchronize buffer pushes between threads
PIN_LOCK lock;
KNOB<string> KnobOutputFile(KNOB_MODE_WRITEONCE, "pintool", "o", "calltrace.txt", "specify trace file name");
KNOB<BOOL> KnobPrintArgs(KNOB_MODE_WRITEONCE, "pintool", "a", "0", "print call arguments ");
INT32 Usage()
{
cerr << "This tool produces a call trace." << endl << endl;
cerr << KNOB_BASE::StringKnobSummary() << endl;
return -1;
}
VOID ImageLoad(IMG img, VOID *)
{
//save module informations
buffer.push(statement("" + IMG_Name(img) + "'; '" + IMG_Name(img).c_str() + "'; " + IMG_LowAddress(img) + ";"));
}
VOID Fini(INT32 code, VOID *v)
{
}
void do_somenetwork(std::string host, int port, std::string message)
{
boost_network::boost::asio::io_service ios;
boost_network::boost::asio::ip::tcp::endpoint endpoint(boost::asio::ip::address::from_string(host), port);
boost_network::boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket socket(ios);
socket.connect(endpoint);
boost_network::boost::system::error_code error;
socket.write_some(boost_network::boost::asio::buffer(message.data(), message.size()), error);
socket.close();
}
void WriteData(void * arg)
{
int popped; //actual amount of popped objects
const int pop_amount = 10000;
statement curr[pop_amount];
string statement = "";
while (1) {
//pop more objects from buffer
while (popped = buffer.pop(curr, pop_amount))
{
//got new statements in buffer to insert into db: clean up statement
statement.clear();
//concat into one statement
for (int i = 0; i < popped; i++){
statement += curr[i].s;
}
do_somenetwork(std::string("127.0.0.1"), 50000, sql_statement.c_str());
}
PIN_Sleep(1);
}
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
PIN_InitSymbols();
//write address of label to TraceFile
TraceFile.open(KnobOutputFile.Value().c_str());
TraceFile << &label << endl;
TraceFile.close();
// Initialize the lock
PIN_InitLock(&lock);
// Initialize pin
if (PIN_Init(argc, argv)) return Usage();
// Register ImageLoad to be called when an image is loaded
IMG_AddInstrumentFunction(ImageLoad, 0);
//Start writer thread
PIN_SpawnInternalThread(WriteData, 0, 0, 0);
PIN_AddFiniFunction(Fini, 0);
// Never returns
PIN_StartProgram();
return 0;
}
When I build the above code, Visual Studio cannot find boost_network::boost::asio::ip and keeps giving error saying asio::ip does not exist. I had previously posted this question myself:
Sending data from a boost asio client
and after using the provided solution in the same workspace, the code worked fine and I was able to communicate over the network. I am not sure what is going wrong here. For some reason using the different namespace seems to not work out because it says boost must be in the default namespace.
However, if I do not add the namespace, in that case the line,
KNOB<BOOL> KnobPrintArgs(KNOB_MODE_WRITEONCE, "pintool", "a", "0", "print call arguments ");
throws an error saying BOOL is ambiguous.
Kindly suggest what should be a viable solution in this situation. I am using Visual Studio 2013.
The same piece of code with only Pin also works with out the network part and I can write data generated from Pin into a flat file.
