    Discussion:

    -

    The member istreambuf_iterator<>::equal is specified to be -unnecessarily inefficient. While this does not affect the efficiency -of conforming implementations of iostreams, because they can -"reach into" the iterators and bypass this function, it does -affect users who use istreambuf_iterators.

    - -

    The inefficiency results from a too-scrupulous definition, which -requires a "true" result if neither iterator is at eof. In -practice these iterators can only usefully be compared with the -"eof" value, so the extra test implied provides no benefit, -but slows down users' code.

    - -

    The solution is to weaken the requirement on the function to return -true only if both iterators are at eof.

    128. Need open_mode() function for file stream, string streams, file buffers, and string  buffers

    Discussion:

    -

    The following question came from Thorsten Herlemann:

    - -
    -

    You can set a mode when constructing or opening a file-stream or - filebuf, e.g. ios::in, ios::out, ios::binary, ... But how can I get - that mode later on, e.g. in my own operator << or operator - >> or when I want to check whether a file-stream or - file-buffer object passed as parameter is opened for input or output - or binary? Is there no possibility? Is this a design-error in the - standard C++ library?

    +

    +I recommend we spawn a separate issue (1184) requesting a dynamic length bitset +and pre-emptively file it as NAD Future. It is difficult to resolve #96 +when it effectively contains two separate sub-issues. +

    -

    It is indeed impossible to find out what a stream's or stream -buffer's open mode is, and without that knowledge you don't know -how certain operations behave. Just think of the append mode.

    - -

    Both streams and stream buffers should have a mode() function that returns the -current open mode setting.

    - -

    [ -post Bellevue: Alisdair requested to re-Open. -]

    - - -

    Proposed resolution:

    -

    For stream buffers, add a function to the base class as a non-virtual function -qualified as const to 27.6.2 [streambuf]:

    - -

        openmode mode() const;

    - -

        Returns the current open mode.

    - -

    With streams, I'm not sure what to suggest. In principle, the mode -could already be returned by ios_base, but the mode is only -initialized for file and string stream objects, unless I'm overlooking -anything. For this reason it should be added to the most derived -stream classes. Alternatively, it could be added to basic_ios -and would be default initialized in basic_ios<>::init().

    - - -

    Rationale:

    -

    This might be an interesting extension for some future, but it is -not a defect in the current standard. The Proposed Resolution is -retained for future reference.

    138. Class ctype_byname<char> redundant and misleading

    Discussion:

    -

    Section 22.4.1.4 [locale.codecvt] specifies that -ctype_byname<char> must be a specialization of the ctype_byname -template.

    - -

    It is common practice in the standard that specializations of class templates are only -mentioned where the interface of the specialization deviates from the interface of the -template that it is a specialization of. Otherwise, the fact whether or not a required -instantiation is an actual instantiation or a specialization is left open as an -implementation detail.

    - -

    Clause 22.2.1.4 deviates from that practice and for that reason is misleading. The -fact, that ctype_byname<char> is specified as a specialization suggests that there -must be something "special" about it, but it has the exact same interface as the -ctype_byname template. Clause 22.2.1.4 does not have any explanatory value, is at best -redundant, at worst misleading - unless I am missing anything.

    - -

    Naturally, an implementation will most likely implement ctype_byname<char> as a -specialization, because the base class ctype<char> is a specialization with an -interface different from the ctype template, but that's an implementation detail and need -not be mentioned in the standard.

This is inconsistent -with other find-related functions such as find_end and find_first_of, which -allow the caller to specify a binary predicate object to be used for determining -equality.

    Discussion:

    -The basic_streambuf members gbump() and pbump() are specified to take an -int argument. This requirement prevents the functions from effectively -manipulating buffers larger than std::numeric_limits<int>::max() -characters. It also makes the common use case for these functions -somewhat difficult as many compilers will issue a warning when an -argument of type larger than int (such as ptrdiff_t on LLP64 -architectures) is passed to either of the function. Since it's often the -result of the subtraction of two pointers that is passed to the -functions, a cast is necessary to silence such warnings. Finally, the -usage of a native type in the functions signatures is inconsistent with -other member functions (such as sgetn() and sputn()) that manipulate the -underlying character buffer. Those functions take a streamsize argument. +In section 24.2.5 [bidirectional.iterators], +Table 75 gives the return type of *r-- as convertible to T. This is +not consistent with Table 74 which gives the return type of *r++ as +T&. *r++ = t is valid while *r-- = t is invalid.

    - -

    Proposed resolution:

    -Change the signatures of these functions in the synopsis of template -class basic_streambuf (27.5.2) and in their descriptions (27.5.2.3.1, p4 -and 27.5.2.3.2, p4) to take a streamsize argument. +In section 24.2.6 [random.access.iterators], +Table 76 gives the return type of a[n] as convertible to T. This is +not consistent with the semantics of *(a + n) which returns T& by +Table 74. *(a + n) = t is valid while a[n] = t is invalid.

    -Although this change has the potential of changing the ABI of the -library, the change will affect only platforms where int is different -than the definition of streamsize. However, since both functions are -typically inline (they are on all known implementations), even on such -platforms the change will not affect any user code unless it explicitly -relies on the existing type of the functions (e.g., by taking their -address). Such a possibility is IMO quite remote. +Discussion from the Copenhagen meeting: the first part is +uncontroversial. The second part, operator[] for Random Access +Iterators, requires more thought. There are reasonable arguments on +both sides. Return by value from operator[] enables some potentially +useful iterators, e.g. a random access "iota iterator" (a.k.a +"counting iterator" or "int iterator"). There isn't any obvious way +to do this with return-by-reference, since the reference would be to a +temporary. On the other hand, reverse_iterator takes an +arbitrary Random Access Iterator as template argument, and its +operator[] returns by reference. If we decided that the return type +in Table 76 was correct, we would have to change +reverse_iterator. This change would probably affect user +code.

    -Alternate Suggestion from Howard Hinnant, c++std-lib-7780: +History: the contradiction between reverse_iterator and the +Random Access Iterator requirements has been present from an early +stage. In both the STL proposal adopted by the committee +(N0527==94-0140) and the STL technical report (HPL-95-11 (R.1), by +Stepanov and Lee), the Random Access Iterator requirements say that +operator[]'s return value is "convertible to T". In N0527 +reverse_iterator's operator[] returns by value, but in HPL-95-11 +(R.1), and in the STL implementation that HP released to the public, +reverse_iterator's operator[] returns by reference. In 1995, the +standard was amended to reflect the contents of HPL-95-11 (R.1). The +original intent for operator[] is unclear.

    -This is something of a nit, but I'm wondering if streamoff wouldn't be a -better choice than streamsize. The argument to pbump and gbump MUST be -signed. But the standard has this to say about streamsize -(27.4.1/2/Footnote): +In the long term it may be desirable to add more fine-grained +iterator requirements, so that access method and traversal strategy +can be decoupled. (See "Improved Iterator Categories and +Requirements", N1297 = 01-0011, by Jeremy Siek.) Any decisions +about issue 299 should keep this possibility in mind.

    -

    - [Footnote: streamsize is used in most places where ISO C would use - size_t. Most of the uses of streamsize could use size_t, except for - the strstreambuf constructors, which require negative values. It - should probably be the signed type corresponding to size_t (which is - what Posix.2 calls ssize_t). --- end footnote] -

    +

    Further discussion: I propose a compromise between John Potter's +resolution, which requires T& as the return type of +a[n], and the current wording, which requires convertible to +T. The compromise is to keep the convertible to T +for the return type of the expression a[n], but to also add +a[n] = t as a valid expression. This compromise "saves" the +common case uses of random access iterators, while at the same time +allowing iterators such as counting iterator and caching file +iterators to remain random access iterators (iterators where the +lifetime of the object returned by operator*() is tied to the +lifetime of the iterator). +

    -This seems a little weak for the argument to pbump and gbump. Should we -ever really get rid of strstream, this footnote might go with it, along -with the reason to make streamsize signed. +Note that the compromise resolution necessitates a change to +reverse_iterator. It would need to use a proxy to support +a[n] = t.

    +

    +Note also there is one kind of mutable random access iterator that +will no longer meet the new requirements. Currently, iterators that +return an r-value from operator[] meet the requirements for a +mutable random access iterartor, even though the expression a[n] = +t will only modify a temporary that goes away. With this proposed +resolution, a[n] = t will be required to have the same +operational semantics as *(a + n) = t. +

    Rationale:

    -

    The LWG believes this change is too big for now. We may wish to -reconsider this for a future revision of the standard. One -possibility is overloading pbump, rather than changing the -signature.

    Discussion:

    -

    The specification of the for_each algorithm does not have a -"Requires" section, which means that there are no -restrictions imposed on the function object whatsoever. In essence it -means that I can provide any function object with arbitrary side -effects and I can still expect a predictable result. In particular I -can expect that the function object is applied exactly last - first -times, which is promised in the "Complexity" section. -

    - -

    I don't see how any implementation can give such a guarantee -without imposing requirements on the function object. -

    - -

    Just as an example: consider a function object that removes -elements from the input sequence. In that case, what does the -complexity guarantee (applies f exactly last - first times) mean? -

    - -

    One can argue that this is obviously a nonsensical application and -a theoretical case, which unfortunately it isn't. I have seen -programmers shooting themselves in the foot this way, and they did not -understand that there are restrictions even if the description of the -algorithm does not say so. -

    -

    [Lillehammer: This is more general than for_each. We don't want - the function object in transform invalidiating iterators - either. There should be a note somewhere in clause 17 (17, not 25) - saying that user code operating on a range may not invalidate - iterators unless otherwise specified. Bill will provide wording.]

    Discussion:

    -The descriptions of the constructors of basic_istream<>::sentry -(27.7.1.1.3 [istream::sentry]) and basic_ostream<>::sentry -(27.7.2.4 [ostream::sentry]) do not explain what the functions do in -case an exception is thrown while they execute. Some current -implementations allow all exceptions to propagate, others catch them -and set ios_base::badbit instead, still others catch some but let -others propagate. +In section 24.1.4 [lib.bidirectdional.iterators], change the return +type in table 75 from "convertible to T" to +T&.

    -The text also mentions that the functions may call setstate(failbit) -(without actually saying on what object, but presumably the stream -argument is meant). That may have been fine for -basic_istream<>::sentry prior to issue 195, since -the function performs an input operation which may fail. However, -issue 195 amends 27.7.1.1.3 [istream::sentry], p2 to -clarify that the function should actually call setstate(failbit | -eofbit), so the sentence in p3 is redundant or even somewhat -contradictory. +In section 24.1.5 [lib.random.access.iterators], change the +operational semantics for a[n] to " the r-value of +a[n] is equivalent to the r-value of *(a + +n)". Add a new row in the table for the expression a[n] = t +with a return type of convertible to T and operational semantics of +*(a + n) = t.

    -

    -The same sentence that appears in 27.7.2.4 [ostream::sentry], p3 -doesn't seem to be very meaningful for basic_istream<>::sentry -which performs no input. It is actually rather misleading since it -would appear to guide library implementers to calling -setstate(failbit) when os.tie()->flush(), the only called function, -throws an exception (typically, it's badbit that's set in response to -such an event). -

    Additional comments from Martin, who isn't comfortable with the - current proposed resolution (see c++std-lib-11530)

    -

    -The istream::sentry ctor says nothing about how the function -deals with exemptions (27.6.1.1.2, p1 says that the class is -responsible for doing "exception safe"(*) prefix and suffix -operations but it doesn't explain what level of exception -safety the class promises to provide). The mockup example -of a "typical implementation of the sentry ctor" given in -27.6.1.1.2, p6, removed in ISO/IEC 14882:2003, doesn't show -exception handling, either. Since the ctor is not classified -as a formatted or unformatted input function, the text in -27.6.1.1, p1 through p4 does not apply. All this would seem -to suggest that the sentry ctor should not catch or in any -way handle exceptions thrown from any functions it may call. -Thus, the typical implementation of an istream extractor may -look something like [1]. -

    -

    -The problem with [1] is that while it correctly sets ios::badbit -if an exception is thrown from one of the functions called from -the sentry ctor, if the sentry ctor reaches EOF while extracting -whitespace from a stream that has eofbit or failbit set in -exceptions(), it will cause an ios::failure to be thrown, which -will in turn cause the extractor to set ios::badbit. -

    -

    -The only straightforward way to prevent this behavior is to -move the definition of the sentry object in the extractor -above the try block (as suggested by the example in 22.2.8, -p9 and also indirectly supported by 27.6.1.3, p1). See [2]. -But such an implementation will allow exceptions thrown from -functions called from the ctor to freely propagate to the -caller regardless of the setting of ios::badbit in the stream -object's exceptions(). -

    +

    Rationale:

    +

    [ +San Francisco: +]

    -

    -So since neither [1] nor [2] behaves as expected, the only -possible solution is to have the sentry ctor catch exceptions -thrown from called functions, set badbit, and propagate those -exceptions if badbit is also set in exceptions(). (Another -solution exists that deals with both kinds of sentries, but -the code is non-obvious and cumbersome -- see [3].) -

    -

    -Please note that, as the issue points out, current libraries -do not behave consistently, suggesting that implementors are -not quite clear on the exception handling in istream::sentry, -despite the fact that some LWG members might feel otherwise. -(As documented by the parenthetical comment here: -http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2003/n1480.html#309) -

    +
    +Solved by +N2758. +
    -

    -Also please note that those LWG members who in Copenhagen -felt that "a sentry's constructor should not catch exceptions, -because sentries should only be used within (un)formatted input -functions and that exception handling is the responsibility of -those functions, not of the sentries," as noted here -http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2001/n1310.html#309 -would in effect be either arguing for the behavior described -in [1] or for extractors implemented along the lines of [3]. -

    -

    -The original proposed resolution (Revision 25 of the issues -list) clarifies the role of the sentry ctor WRT exception -handling by making it clear that extractors (both library -or user-defined) should be implemented along the lines of -[2] (as opposed to [1]) and that no exception thrown from -the callees should propagate out of either function unless -badbit is also set in exceptions(). -

    Discussion:

    +

    +17.4.4.8, p3 prohibits library dtors from throwing exceptions. +

    +

    +27.6.2.3, p4 says this about the ostream::sentry dtor: +

    +
        -4- If ((os.flags() & ios_base::unitbuf) && !uncaught_exception())
    +        is true, calls os.flush().
    +    
    +

    +27.6.2.6, p7 that describes ostream::flush() says: +

    +
        -7- If rdbuf() is not a null pointer, calls rdbuf()->pubsync().
    +        If that function returns ?-1 calls setstate(badbit) (which
    +        may throw ios_base::failure (27.4.4.3)).
    +    
    +

    +That seems like a defect, since both pubsync() and setstate() can +throw an exception. +

    +

    [ +The contradiction is real. Clause 17 says destructors may never +throw exceptions, and clause 27 specifies a destructor that does +throw. In principle we might change either one. We're leaning +toward changing clause 17: putting in an "unless otherwise specified" +clause, and then putting in a footnote saying the sentry destructor +is the only one that can throw. PJP suggests specifying that +sentry::~sentry() should internally catch any exceptions it might cause. +]

    Discussion:

    -[Pre-Berlin] Reopened at the request of Paolo Carlini and Steve Clamage. +I've been discussing iterator semantics with Dave Abrahams, and a +surprise has popped up. I don't think this has been discussed before.

    -[Pre-Portland] A relevant newsgroup post: +24.2 [iterator.concepts] says that the only operation that can be performed on "singular" +iterator values is to assign a non-singular value to them. (It +doesn't say they can be destroyed, and that's probably a defect.) +Some implementations have taken this to imply that there is no need +to initialize the data member of a reverse_iterator<> in the default +constructor. As a result, code like

    - +
      std::vector<std::reverse_iterator<char*> > v(7);
    +  v.reserve(1000);
    +

    -The current proposed resolution of issue #309 -(http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-active.html#309) is -unacceptable. I write commerical software and coding around this -makes my code ugly, non-intuitive, and requires comments referring -people to this very issue. Following is the full explanation of my -experience. +invokes undefined behavior, because it must default-initialize the +vector elements, and then copy them to other storage. Of course many +other vector operations on these adapters are also left undefined, +and which those are is not reliably deducible from the standard.

    +

    -In the course of writing software for commercial use, I constructed -std::ifstream's based on user-supplied pathnames on typical POSIX -systems. +I don't think that 24.1 was meant to make standard-library iterator +types unsafe. Rather, it was meant to restrict what operations may +be performed by functions which take general user- and standard +iterators as arguments, so that raw pointers would qualify as +iterators. However, this is not clear in the text, others have come +to the opposite conclusion.

    +

    -It was expected that some files that opened successfully might not read -successfully -- such as a pathname which actually refered to a -directory. Intuitively, I expected the streambuffer underflow() code -to throw an exception in this situation, and recent implementations of -libstdc++'s basic_filebuf do just that (as well as many of my own -custom streambufs). +One question is whether the standard iterator adaptors have defined +copy semantics. Another is whether they have defined destructor +semantics: is

    +
      { std::vector<std::reverse_iterator<char*> >  v(7); }
    +

    -I also intuitively expected that the istream code would convert these -exceptions to the "badbit' set on the stream object, because I had not -requested exceptions. I refer to 27.6.1.1. P4. +undefined too?

    +

    -However, this was not the case on at least two implementations -- if -the first thing I did with an istream was call operator>>( T& ) for T -among the basic arithmetic types and std::string. Looking further I -found that the sentry's constructor was invoking the exception when it -pre-scanned for whitespace, and the extractor function (operator>>()) -was not catching exceptions in this situation. +Note this is not a question of whether algorithms are allowed to +rely on copy semantics for arbitrary iterators, just whether the +types we actually supply support those operations. I believe the +resolution must be expressed in terms of the semantics of the +adapter's argument type. It should make clear that, e.g., the +reverse_iterator<T> constructor is actually required to execute +T(), and so copying is defined if the result of T() is copyable.

    +

    -So, I was in a situation where setting 'noskipws' would change the -istream's behavior even though no characters (whitespace or not) could -ever be successfully read. +Issue 235, which defines reverse_iterator's default +constructor more precisely, has some relevance to this issue. +However, it is not the whole story.

    +

    -Also, calling .peek() on the istream before calling the extractor() -changed the behavior (.peek() had the effect of setting the badbit -ahead of time). +The issue was whether

    +
      reverse_iterator() { }
    +

    -I found this all to be so inconsistent and inconvenient for me and my -code design, that I filed a bugzilla entry for libstdc++. I was then -told that the bug cannot be fixed until issue #309 is resolved by the -committee. +is allowed, vs.

    - - - -

    Proposed resolution:

    - - -

    Rationale:

    -

    The LWG agrees there is minor variation between implementations, - but believes that it doesn't matter. This is a rarely used corner - case. There is no evidence that this has any commercial importance - or that it causes actual portability problems for customers trying - to write code that runs on multiple implementations.

    Discussion:

    -

    I think we have a defect.

    - -

    According to lwg issue 60 which is now a dr, the -description of seekg in 27.7.1.3 [istream.unformatted] paragraph 38 now looks -like:

    - -

    -Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in 27.6.1.3, -paragraph 1), except that it does not count the number of characters -extracted and does not affect the value returned by subsequent calls to -gcount(). After constructing a sentry object, if fail() != true, -executes rdbuf()->pubseekpos( pos). -

    - -

    And according to lwg issue 243 which is also now a dr, -27.6.1.3, paragraph 1 looks like:

    - -

    -Each unformatted input function begins execution by constructing an -object of class sentry with the default argument noskipws (second) -argument true. If the sentry object returns true, when converted to a -value of type bool, the function endeavors to obtain the requested -input. Otherwise, if the sentry constructor exits by throwing an -exception or if the sentry object returns false, when converted to a -value of type bool, the function returns without attempting to obtain -any input. In either case the number of extracted characters is set to -0; unformatted input functions taking a character array of non-zero -size as an argument shall also store a null character (using charT()) -in the first location of the array. If an exception is thrown during -input then ios::badbit is turned on in *this'ss error state. If -(exception()&badbit)!= 0 then the exception is rethrown. It also counts -the number of characters extracted. If no exception has been thrown it -ends by storing the count in a member object and returning the value -specified. In any event the sentry object is destroyed before leaving -the unformatted input function. -

    - -

    And finally 27.6.1.1.2/5 says this about sentry:

    - -

    -If, after any preparation is completed, is.good() is true, ok_ != false -otherwise, ok_ == false. -

    +
      reverse_iterator() : current() { }
    +

    -So although the seekg paragraph says that the operation proceeds if -!fail(), the behavior of unformatted functions says the operation -proceeds only if good(). The two statements are contradictory when only -eofbit is set. I don't think the current text is clear which condition -should be respected. +The difference is when T is char*, where the first leaves the member +uninitialized, and possibly equal to an existing pointer value, or +(on some targets) may result in a hardware trap when copied.

    -

    Further discussion from Redmond:

    - -

    PJP: It doesn't seem quite right to say that seekg is -"unformatted". That makes specific claims about sentry that -aren't quite appropriate for seeking, which has less fragile failure -modes than actual input. If we do really mean that it's unformatted -input, it should behave the same way as other unformatted input. On -the other hand, "principle of least surprise" is that seeking from EOF -ought to be OK.

    -

    -Pre-Berlin: Paolo points out several problems with the proposed resolution in -Ready state: +8.5 paragraph 5 seems to make clear that the second is required to +satisfy DR 235, at least for non-class Iterator argument +types.

    -
      -
    • It should apply to both overloads of seekg.
    • -
    • tellg has similar issues, except that it should not call clear().
    • -
    • The point about clear() seems to apply to seekp().
    • -
    • Depending on the outcome of 419 -if the sentry -sets failbit when it finds eofbit already set, then -you can never seek away from the end of stream.
    • -
    - - - -

    Proposed resolution:

    - -

    Change 27.7.1.3 [istream.unformatted] to:

    -

    -Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in 27.6.1.3, -paragraph 1), except that it does not count the number of characters -extracted, does not affect the value returned by subsequent calls to -gcount(), and does not examine the value returned by the sentry -object. After constructing a sentry object, if fail() != -true, executes rdbuf()->pubseekpos(pos). In -case of success, the function calls clear(). -In case of failure, the function calls setstate(failbit) -(which may throw ios_base::failure). -

    - -

    +But that only takes care of reverse_iterator, and doesn't establish +a policy for all iterators. (The reverse iterator adapter was just +an example.) In particular, does my function +

    +
    +

    +evoke undefined behavior for some conforming iterator definitions? +I think it does, now, because vector<> will destroy those singular +iterator values, and that's explicitly disallowed. +

    +

    +24.1 shouldn't give blanket permission to copy all singular iterators, +because then pointers wouldn't qualify as iterators. However, it +should allow copying of that subset of singular iterator values that +are default-initialized, and it should explicitly allow destroying any +iterator value, singular or not, default-initialized or not. +

    +

    Related issues: 407, 1012

    +

    [ +We don't want to require all singular iterators to be copyable, +because that is not the case for pointers. However, default +construction may be a special case. Issue: is it really default +construction we want to talk about, or is it something like value +initialization? We need to check with core to see whether default +constructed pointers are required to be copyable; if not, it would be +wrong to impose so strict a requirement for iterators. +]

    -

    Rationale:

    -

    In C, fseek does clear EOF. This is probably what most users would - expect. We agree that having eofbit set should not deter a seek, - and that a successful seek should clear eofbit. Note - that fail() is true only if failbit - or badbit is set, so using !fail(), rather - than good(), satisfies this goal.

    +

    [ +2009-05-10 Alisdair provided wording. +]

    Discussion:

    +

    -The synopses of the C++ library headers clearly show which names are -required to be defined in each header. Since in order to implement the -classes and templates defined in these headers declarations of other -templates (but not necessarily their definitions) are typically -necessary the standard in 17.4.4, p1 permits library implementers to -include any headers needed to implement the definitions in each header. +This is related to LWG 1012.

    -

    -For instance, although it is not explicitly specified in the synopsis of -<string>, at the point of definition of the std::basic_string template -the declaration of the std::allocator template must be in scope. All -current implementations simply include <memory> from within <string>, -either directly or indirectly, to bring the declaration of -std::allocator into scope. +Note that there is a bug in the proposed resolution to LWG 1012. The +change to [reverse.iter.con] should be modified so that the word +"default" in the second sentence of the Effects clause is replaced by +"value."

    -

    -Additionally, however, some implementation also include <istream> and -<ostream> at the top of <string> to bring the declarations of -std::basic_istream and std::basic_ostream into scope (which are needed -in order to implement the string inserter and extractor operators -(21.3.7.9 [lib.string.io])). Other implementations only include -<iosfwd>, since strictly speaking, only the declarations and not the -full definitions are necessary. +We believe that the proposed fix to LWG 1012 (now corrected) is +sufficient to solve the problem for reverse_iterator. However, Alisdair +pointed out that LWG 1012 does not solve the general problem for authors +of iterator adaptors.

    -

    -Obviously, it is possible to implement <string> without actually -providing the full definitions of all the templates std::basic_string -uses (std::allocator, std::basic_istream, and std::basic_ostream). -Furthermore, not only is it possible, doing so is likely to have a -positive effect on compile-time efficiency. +There are some problems with the proposed resolution. The phrase "safely +copyable" is not a term of art. Also, it mentions a +DefaultConstructible? concept.

    -

    -But while it may seem perfectly reasonable to expect a program that uses -the std::basic_string insertion and extraction operators to also -explicitly include <istream> or <ostream>, respectively, it doesn't seem -reasonable to also expect it to explicitly include <memory>. Since -what's reasonable and what isn't is highly subjective one would expect -the standard to specify what can and what cannot be assumed. -Unfortunately, that isn't the case. +Move to Review after Alisdair updates the wording.

    +
    -

    The examples below demonstrate the issue.

    - -

    Example 1:

    +

    [ +2009-07-31 Alisdair revised wording: +]

    -

    It is not clear whether the following program is complete:

    -
    #include <string>
     
    -extern std::basic_ostream<char> &strm;
     
    -int main () {
    -    strm << std::string ("Hello, World!\n");
    -}
    -
    +

    Proposed resolution:

    +

    +Add a new paragrpah to Iterator concepts 24.2 [iterator.concepts] after para 5 (the one +describing singular iterators) +

    +
    +

    +Just as a regular pointer to an array guarantees that there is a pointer +value pointing past the last element of the array, so for any iterator +type there is an iterator value that points past the last element of a +corresponding container. These values are called past-the-end values. +Values of an iterator i for which the expression *i is defined are called +dereferenceable. The library never assumes that past-the-end values are +dereferenceable. Iterators can also have singular values that are not +associated with any container. [Example: After the declaration of an +uninitialized pointer x (as with int* x;), x must always be assumed to +have a singular value of a pointer. — end example] Results of most +expressions are undefined for singular values; the only exceptions are +destroying an iterator that holds a singular value and the assignment of +a non-singular value to an iterator that holds a singular value. In this +case the singular value is overwritten the same way as any other value. +Dereferenceable values are always non-singular. +

    +

    +After value-initialization, any iterator that satisfies the +DefaultConstructible concept shall not introduce undefined behaviour +when used the source of a copy or move operation, even if it would +otherwise be singular. [Note: This guarantee is not offered for +default-initialization (8.5 [dcl.init]), although the distinction only +matters for types with trivial default constructors such as pointers. — +end note] +

    -

    or whether one must explicitly include <memory> or -<ostream> (or both) in addition to <string> in order for -the program to compile.

    +

    Similarly, it is unclear whether the following program is complete:

    -

    -int main () {
    -    strm << "Hello, World!\n";
    -}

    Rationale:

    -

    The portability problem is real. A program that works correctly on -one implementation might fail on another, because of different header -dependencies. This problem was understood before the standard was -completed, and it was a conscious design choice.

    -

    One possible way to deal with this, as a library extension, would -be an <all> header.

    +Further comments from Martin Sebor: +
    +The question is which part of the extraction should prevent this from happening +by setting failbit when eofbit is already set. It could either be the sentry +object or the extractor. It seems that most implementations have chosen to +set failbit in the sentry [...] so that's the text that will need to be +corrected. + +

    -Hinnant: It's time we dealt with this issue for C++0X. Reopened. +Pre Berlin: This issue is related to 342. If the sentry +sets failbit when it finds eofbit already set, then +you can never seek away from the end of stream.

    +

    Kona: Possibly NAD. If eofbit is set then good() will return false. We + then set ok to false. We believe that the sentry's + constructor should always set failbit when ok is false, and + we also think the standard already says that. Possibly it could be + clearer.

    Discussion:

    +

    Proposed resolution:

    -It seems that the descriptions of codecvt do_in() and do_out() leave -sufficient room for interpretation so that two implementations of -codecvt may not work correctly with the same filebuf. Specifically, -the following seems less than adequately specified: +Change 27.7.1.1.3 [istream::sentry], p2 to:

    -
      -
    1. - the conditions under which the functions terminate -
    2. -
    3. - precisely when the functions return ok -
    4. -
    5. - precisely when the functions return partial -
    6. -
    7. - the full set of conditions when the functions return error -
    8. -
    - -
      -
    1. - 22.4.1.4.2 [locale.codecvt.virtuals], p2 says this about the effects of the - function: ...Stops if it encounters a character it cannot - convert... This assumes that there *is* a character to - convert. What happens when there is a sequence that doesn't form a - valid source character, such as an unassigned or invalid UNICODE - character, or a sequence that cannot possibly form a character - (e.g., the sequence "\xc0\xff" in UTF-8)? -
    2. -
    3. - Table 53 says that the function returns codecvt_base::ok - to indicate that the function(s) "completed the conversion." - Suppose that the source sequence is "\xc0\x80" in UTF-8, - with from pointing to '\xc0' and (from_end==from + 1). - It is not clear whether the return value should be ok - or partial (see below). -
    4. -
    5. - Table 53 says that the function returns codecvt_base::partial - if "not all source characters converted." With the from pointers - set up the same way as above, it is not clear whether the return - value should be partial or ok (see above). -
    6. -
    7. - Table 53, in the row describing the meaning of error mistakenly - refers to a "from_type" character, without the symbol from_type - having been defined. Most likely, the word "source" character - is intended, although that is not sufficient. The functions - may also fail when they encounter an invalid source sequence - that cannot possibly form a valid source character (e.g., as - explained in bullet 1 above). -
    8. -
    -

    -Finally, the conditions described at the end of 22.4.1.4.2 [locale.codecvt.virtuals], p4 don't seem to be possible: -

    -

    - "A return value of partial, if (from_next == from_end), - indicates that either the destination sequence has not - absorbed all the available destination elements, or that - additional source elements are needed before another - destination element can be produced." -

    -

    -If the value is partial, it's not clear to me that (from_next -==from_end) could ever hold if there isn't enough room -in the destination buffer. In order for (from_next==from_end) to -hold, all characters in that range must have been successfully -converted (according to 22.4.1.4.2 [locale.codecvt.virtuals], p2) and since there are no -further source characters to convert, no more room in the -destination buffer can be needed. -

    -

    -It's also not clear to me that (from_next==from_end) could ever -hold if additional source elements are needed to produce another -destination character (not element as incorrectly stated in the -text). partial is returned if "not all source characters have -been converted" according to Table 53, which also implies that -(from_next==from) does NOT hold. -

    -

    -Could it be that the intended qualifying condition was actually -(from_next != from_end), i.e., that the sentence was supposed -to read -

    -

    - "A return value of partial, if (from_next != from_end),..." -

    +
    +
    explicit sentry(basic_istream<charT,traits>& is , bool noskipws = false);

    -which would make perfect sense, since, as far as I understand it, -partial can only occur if (from_next != from_end)? +-2- Effects: If is.good() is true +false, calls is.setstate(failbit). +Otherwise prepares for formatted or unformatted input. ...

    -

    [Lillehammer: Defer for the moment, but this really needs to be - fixed. Right now, the description of codecvt is too vague for it to - be a useful contract between providers and clients of codecvt - facets. (Note that both vendors and users can be both providers and - clients of codecvt facets.) The major philosophical issue is whether - the standard should only describe mappings that take a single wide - character to multiple narrow characters (and vice versa), or whether - it should describe fully general N-to-M conversions. When the - original standard was written only the former was contemplated, but - today, in light of the popularity of utf8 and utf16, that doesn't - seem sufficient for C++0x. Bill supports general N-to-M conversions; - we need to make sure Martin and Howard agree.]

    Discussion:

    -There is a contradiction in Formatted output about what bit is -supposed to be set if the formatting fails. On sentence says it's -badbit and another that it's failbit. -

    -

    -27.6.2.5.1, p1 says in the Common Requirements on Formatted output -functions: -

    -
         ... If the generation fails, then the formatted output function
    -     does setstate(ios::failbit), which might throw an exception.
    -
    -

    -27.6.2.5.2, p1 goes on to say this about Arithmetic Inserters: +The requirements specified in Stage 2 and reiterated in the rationale +of DR 221 (and echoed again in DR 303) specify that num_get<charT>:: +do_get() compares characters on the stream against the widened elements +of "012...abc...ABCX+-"

    +

    - ... The formatting conversion occurs as if it performed the - following code fragment: +An implementation is required to allow programs to instantiate the num_get +template on any charT that satisfies the requirements on a user-defined +character type. These requirements do not include the ability of the +character type to be equality comparable (the char_traits template must +be used to perform tests for equality). Hence, the num_get template cannot +be implemented to support any arbitrary character type. The num_get template +must either make the assumption that the character type is equality-comparable +(as some popular implementations do), or it may use char_traits<charT> to do +the comparisons (some other popular implementations do that). This diversity +of approaches makes it difficult to write portable programs that attempt to +instantiate the num_get template on user-defined types.

    -     ... If failed is true then does setstate(badbit) ...
    -
    +

    [Kona: the heart of the problem is that we're theoretically + supposed to use traits classes for all fundamental character + operations like assignment and comparison, but facets don't have + traits parameters. This is a fundamental design flaw and it + appears all over the place, not just in this one place. It's not + clear what the correct solution is, but a thorough review of facets + and traits is in order. The LWG considered and rejected the + possibility of changing numeric facets to use narrowing instead of + widening. This may be a good idea for other reasons (see issue + 459), but it doesn't solve the problem raised by this + issue. Whether we use widen or narrow the num_get facet + still has no idea which traits class the user wants to use for + the comparison, because only streams, not facets, are passed traits + classes. The standard does not require that two different + traits classes with the same char_type must necessarily + have the same behavior.]

    + + +

    Informally, one possibility: require that some of the basic +character operations, such as eq, lt, +and assign, must behave the same way for all traits classes +with the same char_type. If we accept that limitation on +traits classes, then the facet could reasonably be required to +use char_traits<charT>.

    + +

    [ +2009-07 Frankfurt +]

    + + +

    -The original intent of the text, according to Jerry Schwarz (see -c++std-lib-10500), is captured in the following paragraph: +There was general agreement that the standard only needs to specify the +behavior when the character type is char or wchar_t.

    -In general "badbit" should mean that the stream is unusable because -of some underlying failure, such as disk full or socket closure; -"failbit" should mean that the requested formatting wasn't possible -because of some inconsistency such as negative widths. So typically -if you clear badbit and try to output something else you'll fail -again, but if you clear failbit and try to output something else -you'll succeed. +Beman: we don't need to worry about C++1x because there is a non-zero +possibility that we would have a replacement facility for iostreams that +would solve these problems.

    -In the case of the arithmetic inserters, since num_put cannot -report failure by any means other than exceptions (in response -to which the stream must set badbit, which prevents the kind of -recoverable error reporting mentioned above), the only other -detectable failure is if the iterator returned from num_put -returns true from failed(). +We need to change the following sentence in [locale.category], paragraph +6 to specify that C is char and wchar_t:

    -Since that can only happen (at least with the required iostream -specializations) under such conditions as the underlying failure -referred to above (e.g., disk full), setting badbit would seem -to be the appropriate response (indeed, it is required in -27.6.2.5.2, p1). It follows that failbit can never be directly -set by the arithmetic (it can only be set by the sentry object -under some unspecified conditions). +"A template formal parameter with name C represents the set of all +possible specializations on a parameter that satisfies the requirements +for a character on which any member of the iostream components can be +instantiated."

    -The situation is different for other formatted output functions -which can fail as a result of the streambuf functions failing -(they may do so by means other than exceptions), and which are -then required to set failbit. +We also need to specify in 27 that the basic character operations, such +as eq, lt, and assign use std::char_traits.

    -The contradiction, then, is that ostream::operator<<(int) will -set badbit if the disk is full, while operator<<(ostream&, -char) will set failbit under the same conditions. To make the behavior -consistent, the Common requirements sections for the Formatted output -functions should be changed as proposed below. +Daniel volunteered to provide wording.

    -

    [Kona: There's agreement that this is a real issue. What we - decided at Kona: 1. An error from the buffer (which can be detected - either directly from streambuf's member functions or by examining a - streambuf_iterator) should always result in badbit getting set. - 2. There should never be a circumstance where failbit gets set. - That represents a formatting error, and there are no circumstances - under which the output facets are specified as signaling a - formatting error. (Even more so for string output that for numeric - because there's nothing to format.) If we ever decide to make it - possible for formatting errors to exist then the facets can signal - the error directly, and that should go in clause 22, not clause 27. - 3. The phrase "if generation fails" is unclear and should be - eliminated. It's not clear whether it's intended to mean a buffer - error (e.g. a full disk), a formatting error, or something else. - Most people thought it was supposed to refer to buffer errors; if - so, we should say so. Martin will provide wording.]

    -

    -While reviewing unformatted input member functions of istream -for their behavior when they encounter end-of-file during input -I found that the requirements vary, sometimes unexpectedly, and -in more than one case even contradict established practice (GNU -libstdc++ 3.2, IBM VAC++ 6.0, STLPort 4.5, SunPro 5.3, HP aCC -5.38, Rogue Wave libstd 3.1, and Classic Iostreams). -

    -

    Discussion:

    +

    -I've been discussing iterator semantics with Dave Abrahams, and a -surprise has popped up. I don't think this has been discussed before. +The member operator is overloaded to provide several ways to select +sequences +of elements from among those controlled by *this. The first group of five +member operators work in conjunction with various overloads of operator= +(and other assigning operators) to allow selective replacement (slicing) of +the controlled sequence. The selected elements must exist.

    -

    -24.2 [iterator.concepts] says that the only operation that can be performed on "singular" -iterator values is to assign a non-singular value to them. (It -doesn't say they can be destroyed, and that's probably a defect.) -Some implementations have taken this to imply that there is no need -to initialize the data member of a reverse_iterator<> in the default -constructor. As a result, code like +The first member operator selects element off. For example:

    -
      std::vector<std::reverse_iterator<char*> > v(7);
    -  v.reserve(1000);
    +
    +
    valarray<char> v0("abcdefghijklmnop", 16);
    +v0[3] = 'A';
    +// v0 == valarray<char>("abcAefghijklmnop", 16)
     
    -

    -invokes undefined behavior, because it must default-initialize the -vector elements, and then copy them to other storage. Of course many -other vector operations on these adapters are also left undefined, -and which those are is not reliably deducible from the standard. -

    -I don't think that 24.1 was meant to make standard-library iterator -types unsafe. Rather, it was meant to restrict what operations may -be performed by functions which take general user- and standard -iterators as arguments, so that raw pointers would qualify as -iterators. However, this is not clear in the text, others have come -to the opposite conclusion. +The second member operator selects those elements of the controlled sequence +designated by slicearr. For example:

    -

    -One question is whether the standard iterator adaptors have defined -copy semantics. Another is whether they have defined destructor -semantics: is -

    -
      { std::vector<std::reverse_iterator<char*> >  v(7); }
    +
    valarray<char> v0("abcdefghijklmnop", 16);
    +valarray<char> v1("ABCDE", 5);
    +v0[slice(2, 5, 3)] = v1;
    +// v0 == valarray<char>("abAdeBghCjkDmnEp", 16)
     
    -

    -undefined too? -

    -Note this is not a question of whether algorithms are allowed to -rely on copy semantics for arbitrary iterators, just whether the -types we actually supply support those operations. I believe the -resolution must be expressed in terms of the semantics of the -adapter's argument type. It should make clear that, e.g., the -reverse_iterator<T> constructor is actually required to execute -T(), and so copying is defined if the result of T() is copyable. +The third member operator selects those elements of the controlled sequence +designated by gslicearr. For example:

    -

    -Issue 235, which defines reverse_iterator's default -constructor more precisely, has some relevance to this issue. -However, it is not the whole story. -

    +
    valarray<char> v0("abcdefghijklmnop", 16);
    +valarray<char> v1("ABCDEF", 6);
    +const size_t lv[] = {2, 3};
    +const size_t dv[] = {7, 2};
    +const valarray<size_t> len(lv, 2), str(dv, 2);
    +v0[gslice(3, len, str)] = v1;
    +// v0 == valarray<char>("abcAeBgCijDlEnFp", 16)
    +

    -The issue was whether +The fourth member operator selects those elements of the controlled sequence +designated by boolarr. For example:

    -
      reverse_iterator() { }
    +
    +
    valarray<char> v0("abcdefghijklmnop", 16);
    +valarray<char> v1("ABC", 3);
    +const bool vb[] = {false, false, true, true, false, true};
    +v0[valarray<bool>(vb, 6)] = v1;
    +// v0 == valarray<char>("abABeCghijklmnop", 16)
     
    +

    -is allowed, vs. +The fifth member operator selects those elements of the controlled sequence +designated by indarr. For example:

    -
      reverse_iterator() : current() { }
    +
    +
    valarray<char> v0("abcdefghijklmnop", 16);
    +valarray<char> v1("ABCDE", 5);
    +const size_t vi[] = {7, 5, 2, 3, 8};
    +v0[valarray<size_t>(vi, 5)] = v1;
    +// v0 == valarray<char>("abCDeBgAEjklmnop", 16)
     

    -The difference is when T is char*, where the first leaves the member -uninitialized, and possibly equal to an existing pointer value, or -(on some targets) may result in a hardware trap when copied. +The second group of five member operators each construct an object that +represents the value(s) selected. The selected elements must exist.

    -8.5 paragraph 5 seems to make clear that the second is required to -satisfy DR 235, at least for non-class Iterator argument -types. +The sixth member operator returns the value of element off. For example:

    -

    -But that only takes care of reverse_iterator, and doesn't establish -a policy for all iterators. (The reverse iterator adapter was just -an example.) In particular, does my function -

    -
      template <typename Iterator>
    -    void f() { std::vector<Iterator>  v(7); } 
    +
    valarray<char> v0("abcdefghijklmnop", 16);
    +// v0[3] returns 'd'
     
    -

    -evoke undefined behavior for some conforming iterator definitions? -I think it does, now, because vector<> will destroy those singular -iterator values, and that's explicitly disallowed. -

    -24.1 shouldn't give blanket permission to copy all singular iterators, -because then pointers wouldn't qualify as iterators. However, it -should allow copying of that subset of singular iterator values that -are default-initialized, and it should explicitly allow destroying any -iterator value, singular or not, default-initialized or not. +The seventh member operator returns an object of class valarray<Ty> +containing those elements of the controlled sequence designated by slicearr. +For example:

    -The reflector thread starting with c++std-lib-11346 notes that the class -template basic_streambuf, along with basic_stringbuf and basic_filebuf, -is copy-constructible but that the semantics of the copy constructors -are not defined anywhere.

    -Constructs an independent copy of sb as if with sb.str(), and with the openmode that sb was constructed with. +This issue refers to a requirements table we have removed.

    -Note: The only requirement on epptr() is that it point beyond the -initialized range if an output sequence exists. There is no requirement -that epptr() - pbase() == sb.epptr() - sb.pbase(). -

    After assignment the basic_stringbuf has the same state as if it -were initially copy constructed from sb, except that the -basic_stringbuf is allowed to retain any excess capacity it might have, -which may in turn effect the value of epptr(). +The issue might now relate to 24.2.6 [random.access.iterators] p5. +However, the rationale in the issue already recognises that the +difference_type must be signed, so this really looks NAD.

    [Sydney: Dietmar presented a new argument against basic_streambuf - being copyable: it can lead to an encapsulation violation. Filebuf - inherits from streambuf. Now suppose you inhert a my_hijacking_buf - from streambuf. You can copy the streambuf portion of a filebuf to a - my_hijacking_buf, giving you access to the pointers into the - filebuf's internal buffer. Perhaps not a very strong argument, but - it was strong enough to make people nervous. There was weak - preference for having streambuf not be copyable. There was weak - preference for having stringbuf not be copyable even if streambuf - is. Move this issue to open for now. -]

    Discussion:

    -A third party test suite tries to exercise istream::ignore(N) with -a negative value of N and expects that the implementation will treat -N as if it were 0. Our implementation asserts that (N >= 0) holds and -aborts the test. +TC1 CWG DR #84 effectively made the template<class Y> operator auto_ptr<Y>() +member of auto_ptr (20.4.5.3/4) obsolete.

    -I can't find anything in section 27 that prohibits such values but I don't -see what the effects of such calls should be, either (this applies to -a number of unformatted input functions as well as some member functions -of the basic_streambuf template). +The sole purpose of this obsolete conversion member is to enable copy +initialization base from r-value derived (or any convertible types like +cv-types) case:

    +
    #include <memory>
    +using std::auto_ptr;
     
    +struct B {};
    +struct D : B {};
    +
    +auto_ptr<D> source();
    +int sink(auto_ptr<B>);
    +int x1 = sink( source() ); // #1 EDG - no suitable copy constructor
    +
    -

    Proposed resolution:

    -I propose that we add to each function in clause 27 that takes an argument, -say N, of type streamsize a Requires clause saying that "N >= 0." The intent -is to allow negative streamsize values in calls to precision() and width() -but disallow it in calls to streambuf::sgetn(), istream::ignore(), or -ostream::write(). +The excellent analysis of conversion operations that was given in the final +auto_ptr proposal +(http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/1997/N1128.pdf) +explicitly specifies this case analysis (case 4). DR #84 makes the analysis +wrong and actually comes to forbid the loophole that was exploited by the +auto_ptr designers.

    -

    [Kona: The LWG agreed that this is probably what we want. However, we - need a review to find all places where functions in clause 27 take - arguments of type streamsize that shouldn't be allowed to go - negative. Martin will do that review.]

    +

    +I didn't encounter any compliant compiler (e.g. EDG, GCC, BCC and VC) that +ever allowed this case. This is probably because it requires 3 user defined +conversions and in fact current compilers conform to DR #84. +

    +

    +I was surprised to discover that the obsolete conversion member actually has +negative impact of the copy initialization base from l-value derived +case:

    +
    auto_ptr<D> dp;
    +int x2 = sink(dp); // #2 EDG - more than one user-defined conversion applies
    +
    +

    +I'm sure that the original intention was allowing this initialization using +the template<class Y> auto_ptr(auto_ptr<Y>& a) constructor (20.4.5.1/4) but +since in this copy initialization it's merely user defined conversion (UDC) +and the obsolete conversion member is UDC with the same rank (for the early +overloading stage) there is an ambiguity between them. +

    +

    +Removing the obsolete member will have impact on code that explicitly +invokes it: +

    +
    int y = sink(source().operator auto_ptr<B>());
    +
    +

    +IMHO no one ever wrote such awkward code and the reasonable workaround for +#1 is: +

    +
    int y = sink( auto_ptr<B>(source()) );
    +
    +

    +I was even more surprised to find out that after removing the obsolete +conversion member the initialization was still ill-formed: +int x3 = sink(dp); // #3 EDG - no suitable copy constructor +

    +

    +This copy initialization semantically requires copy constructor which means +that both template conversion constructor and the auto_ptr_ref conversion +member (20.4.5.3/3) are required which is what was explicitly forbidden in +DR #84. This is a bit amusing case in which removing ambiguity results with +no candidates. +

Several +library vendors (e.g. SGI) implement auto_ptr_ref<Y> with Y* as member which +is much more reasonable.

    +My proposal comes to solve all the above issues and significantly simplify +auto_ptr implementation. One of the fundamental requirements from auto_ptr +is that it can be constructed in an intuitive manner (i.e. like ordinary +pointers) but with strict ownership semantics which yield that source +auto_ptr in initialization must be non-const. My idea is to add additional +constructor template with sole propose to generate ill-formed, diagnostic +required, instance for const auto_ptr arguments during instantiation of +declaration. This special constructor will not be instantiated for other +types which is achievable using 14.8.2/2 (SFINAE). Having this constructor +in hand makes the constructor template<class Y> auto_ptr(auto_ptr<Y> const&) +legitimate since the actual argument can't be const yet non const r-value +are acceptable. +

    +There are other techniques to implement this helper class that might work +better for different compliers (i.e. better diagnostics) and therefore I +suggest defining its semantic behavior without mandating any specific +implementation. IMO, and I didn't found any compiler that thinks otherwise, +14.7.1/5 doesn't theoretically defeat the suggested technique but I suggest +verifying this with core language experts. +

    Discussion:

    -

    -The requirements specified in Stage 2 and reiterated in the rationale -of DR 221 (and echoed again in DR 303) specify that num_get<charT>:: -do_get() compares characters on the stream against the widened elements -of "012...abc...ABCX+-" -

    - -

    -An implementation is required to allow programs to instantiate the num_get -template on any charT that satisfies the requirements on a user-defined -character type. These requirements do not include the ability of the -character type to be equality comparable (the char_traits template must -be used to perform tests for equality). Hence, the num_get template cannot -be implemented to support any arbitrary character type. The num_get template -must either make the assumption that the character type is equality-comparable -(as some popular implementations do), or it may use char_traits<charT> to do -the comparisons (some other popular implementations do that). This diversity -of approaches makes it difficult to write portable programs that attempt to -instantiate the num_get template on user-defined types. -

    - -

    [Kona: the heart of the problem is that we're theoretically - supposed to use traits classes for all fundamental character - operations like assignment and comparison, but facets don't have - traits parameters. This is a fundamental design flaw and it - appears all over the place, not just in this one place. It's not - clear what the correct solution is, but a thorough review of facets - and traits is in order. The LWG considered and rejected the - possibility of changing numeric facets to use narrowing instead of - widening. This may be a good idea for other reasons (see issue - 459), but it doesn't solve the problem raised by this - issue. Whether we use widen or narrow the num_get facet - still has no idea which traits class the user wants to use for - the comparison, because only streams, not facets, are passed traits - classes. The standard does not require that two different - traits classes with the same char_type must necessarily - have the same behavior.]

    - + template <class X> class auto_ptr { + public: + typedef X element_type; -

    Informally, one possibility: require that some of the basic -character operations, such as eq, lt, -and assign, must behave the same way for all traits classes -with the same char_type. If we accept that limitation on -traits classes, then the facet could reasonably be required to -use char_traits<charT>.

    -The standard fails to specify the behavior of valarray::operator[](slice) -and other valarray subset operations when they are passed an "invalid" -slice object, i.e., either a slice that doesn't make sense at all (e.g., -slice (0, 1, 0) or one that doesn't specify a valid subset of the valarray -object (e.g., slice (2, 1, 1) for a valarray of size 1). +Remove D.9.1.3 [auto.ptr.conv].

    -Please note that the standard also fails to specify the behavior of -slice_array and gslice_array in the valid case. Bill Plauger will -endeavor to provide revised wording for slice_array and gslice_array. +The auto_ptr provides a semantics of strict ownership. An +auto_ptr owns the object it holds a pointer to. Copying an +auto_ptr copies the pointer and transfers ownership to the +destination. If more than one auto_ptr owns the same object at +the same time the behavior of the program is undefined. Templates +constant_object and cannot_transfer_ownership_from, +and the final constructor of auto_ptr are for exposition only. +For any types X and Y, initializing +auto_ptr<X> from const auto_ptr<Y> is +ill-formed, diagnostic required. [Note: The uses of +auto_ptr include providing temporary exception-safety for +dynamically allocated memory, passing ownership of dynamically allocated +memory to a function, and returning dynamically allocated memory from a +function. auto_ptr does not meet the CopyConstructible +and Assignable requirements for Standard Library container +elements and thus instantiating a Standard Library container with an +auto_ptr results in undefined behavior. -- end note]

    Proposed resolution:

    -Insert after 26.6.2.4 [valarray.sub], paragraph 1: +Change D.9.1.1 [auto.ptr.cons], p5:

    +
    template<class Y> auto_ptr(auto_ptr<Y> const& a) throw();
    +
    +

    -The member operator is overloaded to provide several ways to select -sequences -of elements from among those controlled by *this. The first group of five -member operators work in conjunction with various overloads of operator= -(and other assigning operators) to allow selective replacement (slicing) of -the controlled sequence. The selected elements must exist. +Requires: Y* can be implicitly converted to X*.

    -The first member operator selects element off. For example: +Effects: Calls const_cast<auto_ptr<Y>&>(a).release().

    - -
    valarray<char> v0("abcdefghijklmnop", 16);
    -v0[3] = 'A';
    -// v0 == valarray<char>("abcAefghijklmnop", 16)
    -
    -

    -The second member operator selects those elements of the controlled sequence -designated by slicearr. For example: +Postconditions: *this holds the pointer returned from a.release().

    - -
    valarray<char> v0("abcdefghijklmnop", 16);
    -valarray<char> v1("ABCDE", 5);
    -v0[slice(2, 5, 3)] = v1;
    -// v0 == valarray<char>("abAdeBghCjkDmnEp", 16)
    -
    +
    +

    -The third member operator selects those elements of the controlled sequence -designated by gslicearr. For example: +Change D.9.1.1 [auto.ptr.cons], p10:

    -
    valarray<char> v0("abcdefghijklmnop", 16);
    -valarray<char> v1("ABCDEF", 6);
    -const size_t lv[] = {2, 3};
    -const size_t dv[] = {7, 2};
    -const valarray<size_t> len(lv, 2), str(dv, 2);
    -v0[gslice(3, len, str)] = v1;
    -// v0 == valarray<char>("abcAeBgCijDlEnFp", 16)
    -
    - +
    +
    template<class Y> auto_ptr& operator=(auto_ptr<Y>& a) throw();
    +
    +

    -The fourth member operator selects those elements of the controlled sequence -designated by boolarr. For example: +Requires: Y* can be implicitly converted to X*. +The expression delete get() is well formed.

    - -
    valarray<char> v0("abcdefghijklmnop", 16);
    -valarray<char> v1("ABC", 3);
    -const bool vb[] = {false, false, true, true, false, true};
    -v0[valarray<bool>(vb, 6)] = v1;
    -// v0 == valarray<char>("abABeCghijklmnop", 16)
    -
    -

    -The fifth member operator selects those elements of the controlled sequence -designated by indarr. For example: +Effects: Calls reset(a.release()).

    - -
    valarray<char> v0("abcdefghijklmnop", 16);
    -valarray<char> v1("ABCDE", 5);
    -const size_t vi[] = {7, 5, 2, 3, 8};
    -v0[valarray<size_t>(vi, 5)] = v1;
    -// v0 == valarray<char>("abCDeBgAEjklmnop", 16)
    -
    -

    -The second group of five member operators each construct an object that -represents the value(s) selected. The selected elements must exist. +Returns: *this.

    +
    +
    -

    -The sixth member operator returns the value of element off. For example: -

    -
    valarray<char> v0("abcdefghijklmnop", 16);
    -// v0[3] returns 'd'
    -
    -

    -The seventh member operator returns an object of class valarray<Ty> -containing those elements of the controlled sequence designated by slicearr. -For example: -

    -
    valarray<char> v0("abcdefghijklmnop", 16);
    -// v0[slice(2, 5, 3)] returns valarray<char>("cfilo", 5)

    Discussion:

    -

    Clause X [allocator.requirements] paragraph 4 says that implementations - are permitted to supply containers that are unable to cope with - allocator instances and that container implementations may assume - that all instances of an allocator type compare equal. We gave - implementers this latitude as a temporary hack, and eventually we - want to get rid of it. What happens when we're dealing with - allocators that don't compare equal? +

    +Finally, if the answer to the first question is no, I believe it +constitutes a defect since throwing an exception object typically +implies invoking the copy ctor on the object. If the answer is yes, +then I believe the standard ought to be clarified to spell out +exactly what the effects are on the copy (i.e., after the copy +ctor was called).

    -

    In particular: suppose that v1 and v2 are both - objects of type vector<int, my_alloc> and that - v1.get_allocator() != v2.get_allocator(). What happens if - we write v1.swap(v2)? Informally, three possibilities:

    - -

    1. This operation is illegal. Perhaps we could say that an - implementation is required to check and to throw an exception, or - perhaps we could say it's undefined behavior.

    -

    2. The operation performs a slow swap (i.e. using three - invocations of operator=, leaving each allocator with its - original container. This would be an O(N) operation.

    -

    3. The operation swaps both the vectors' contents and their - allocators. This would be an O(1) operation. That is:

    -
    -
        my_alloc a1(...);
    -    my_alloc a2(...);
    -    assert(a1 != a2);
    -
    -    vector<int, my_alloc> v1(a1);
    -    vector<int, my_alloc> v2(a2);
    -    assert(a1 == v1.get_allocator());
    -    assert(a2 == v2.get_allocator());
    -
    -    v1.swap(v2);
    -    assert(a1 == v2.get_allocator());
    -    assert(a2 == v1.get_allocator());

    Discussion:

    -

    When parsing strings of wide-character digits, the standard - requires the library to widen narrow-character "atoms" and compare - the widened atoms against the characters that are being parsed. - Simply narrowing the wide characters would be far simpler, and - probably more efficient. The two choices are equivalent except in - convoluted test cases, and many implementations already ignore the - standard and use narrow instead of widen.

    - -

    -First, I disagree that using narrow() instead of widen() would -necessarily have unfortunate performance implications. A possible -implementation of narrow() that allows num_get to be implemented -in a much simpler and arguably comparably efficient way as calling -widen() allows, i.e. without making a virtual call to do_narrow every -time, is as follows: -

    - -
      inline char ctype<wchar_t>::narrow (wchar_t wc, char dflt) const
    -  {
    -      const unsigned wi = unsigned (wc);
    -
    -      if (wi > UCHAR_MAX)
    -          return typeid (*this) == typeid (ctype<wchar_t>) ?
    -                 dflt : do_narrow (wc, dflt);
    -
    -      if (narrow_ [wi] < 0) {
    -         const char nc = do_narrow (wc, dflt);
    -         if (nc == dflt)
    -             return dflt;
    -         narrow_ [wi] = nc;
    -      }
    -
    -      return char (narrow_ [wi]);
    -  }
    -
    +

    Proposed resolution:

    -Second, I don't think the change proposed in the issue (i.e., to use -narrow() instead of widen() during Stage 2) would be at all -drastic. Existing implementations with the exception of libstdc++ -currently already use narrow() so the impact of the change on programs -would presumably be isolated to just a single implementation. Further, -since narrow() is not required to translate alternate wide digit -representations such as those mentioned in issue 303 -to -their narrow equivalents (i.e., the portable source characters '0' -through '9'), the change does not necessarily imply that these -alternate digits would be treated as ordinary digits and accepted as -part of numbers during parsing. In fact, the requirement in 22.4.1.1.2 -[locale.ctype.virtuals], p13 forbids narrow() to translate an alternate -digit character, wc, to an ordinary digit in the basic source -character set unless the expression -(ctype<charT>::is(ctype_base::digit, wc) == true) holds. This in -turn is prohibited by the C standard (7.25.2.1.5, 7.25.2.1.5, and -5.2.1, respectively) for charT of either char or wchar_t. +Change 18.8.1 [exception] to:

    -

    [Sydney: To a large extent this is a nonproblem. As long as -you're only trafficking in char and wchar_t we're only dealing with a -stable character set, so you don't really need either 'widen' or -'narrow': can just use literals. Finally, it's not even clear whether -widen-vs-narrow is the right question; arguably we should be using -codecvt instead.]

    Proposed resolution:

    -

    Change stage 2 so that implementations are permitted to use either -technique to perform the comparison:

    -
      -

    2. -
    3. call narrow on the input and compare the narrow input - with the atoms
    4. -
    5. do (1) or (2) only if charT is not char or wchar_t, - respectively; i.e., avoid calling widen or narrow - if it the source and destination types are the same

    Discussion:

    -

    -TC1 CWG DR #84 effectively made the template<class Y> operator auto_ptr<Y>() -member of auto_ptr (20.4.5.3/4) obsolete. +Most ctype member functions come in two forms: one that operates +on a single character at a time and another form that operates +on a range of characters. Both forms are typically described by +a single Effects and/or Returns clause.

    -

    -The sole purpose of this obsolete conversion member is to enable copy -initialization base from r-value derived (or any convertible types like -cv-types) case: +The Returns clause of each of the single-character non-virtual forms +suggests that the function calls the corresponding single character +virtual function, and that the array form calls the corresponding +virtual array form. Neither of the two forms of each virtual member +function is required to be implemented in terms of the other.

    -
    #include <memory>
    -using std::auto_ptr;
    -
    -struct B {};
    -struct D : B {};
    -
    -auto_ptr<D> source();
    -int sink(auto_ptr<B>);
    -int x1 = sink( source() ); // #1 EDG - no suitable copy constructor
    -
    -

    -The excellent analysis of conversion operations that was given in the final -auto_ptr proposal -(http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/1997/N1128.pdf) -explicitly specifies this case analysis (case 4). DR #84 makes the analysis -wrong and actually comes to forbid the loophole that was exploited by the -auto_ptr designers. +There are three problems:

    -

    -I didn't encounter any compliant compiler (e.g. EDG, GCC, BCC and VC) that -ever allowed this case. This is probably because it requires 3 user defined -conversions and in fact current compilers conform to DR #84. +1. One is that while the standard does suggest that each non-virtual +member function calls the corresponding form of the virtual function, +it doesn't actually explicitly require it.

    - -

    -I was surprised to discover that the obsolete conversion member actually has -negative impact of the copy initialization base from l-value derived -case:

    -
    auto_ptr<D> dp;
    -int x2 = sink(dp); // #2 EDG - more than one user-defined conversion applies
    -
    -

    -I'm sure that the original intention was allowing this initialization using -the template<class Y> auto_ptr(auto_ptr<Y>& a) constructor (20.4.5.1/4) but -since in this copy initialization it's merely user defined conversion (UDC) -and the obsolete conversion member is UDC with the same rank (for the early -overloading stage) there is an ambiguity between them. +Implementations that cache results from some of the virtual member +functions for some or all values of their arguments might want to +call the array form from the non-array form the first time to fill +the cache and avoid any or most subsequent virtual calls. Programs +that rely on each form of the virtual function being called from +the corresponding non-virtual function will see unexpected behavior +when using such implementations.

    -

    -Removing the obsolete member will have impact on code that explicitly -invokes it: +2. The second problem is that either form of each of the virtual +functions can be overridden by a user-defined function in a derived +class to return a value that is different from the one produced by +the virtual function of the alternate form that has not been +overriden.

    -
    int y = sink(source().operator auto_ptr<B>());
    -

    -IMHO no one ever wrote such awkward code and the reasonable workaround for -#1 is: +Thus, it might be possible for, say, ctype::widen(c) to return one +value, while for ctype::widen(&c, &c + 1, &wc) to set +wc to another value. This is almost certainly not intended. Both +forms of every function should be required to return the same result +for the same character, otherwise the same program using an +implementation that calls one form of the functions will behave +differently than when using another implementation that calls the +other form of the function "under the hood."

    -
    int y = sink( auto_ptr<B>(source()) );
    -
    -

    -I was even more surprised to find out that after removing the obsolete -conversion member the initialization was still ill-formed: -int x3 = sink(dp); // #3 EDG - no suitable copy constructor +3. The last problem is that the standard text fails to specify whether +one form of any of the virtual functions is permitted to be implemented +in terms of the other form or not, and if so, whether it is required +or permitted to call the overridden virtual function or not.

    -

    -This copy initialization semantically requires copy constructor which means -that both template conversion constructor and the auto_ptr_ref conversion -member (20.4.5.3/3) are required which is what was explicitly forbidden in -DR #84. This is a bit amusing case in which removing ambiguity results with -no candidates. +Thus, a program that overrides one of the virtual functions so that +it calls the other form which then calls the base member might end +up in an infinite loop if the called form of the base implementation +of the function in turn calls the other form.

    -I also found exception safety issue with auto_ptr related to auto_ptr_ref: -

    -
    int f(auto_ptr<B>, std::string);
    -auto_ptr<B> source2();
    +Lillehammer: Part of this isn't a real problem. We already talk about
    +caching. 22.1.1/6 But part is a real problem. ctype virtuals may call
    +each other, so users don't know which ones to override to avoid avoid
    +infinite loops.

    -// string constructor throws while auto_ptr_ref -// "holds" the pointer -int x4 = f(source2(), "xyz"); // #4 -
    +

    This is a problem for all facet virtuals, not just ctype virtuals, +so we probably want a blanket statement in clause 22 for all +facets. The LWG is leaning toward a blanket prohibition, that a +facet's virtuals may never call each other. We might want to do that +in clause 27 too, for that matter. A review is necessary.

Several -library vendors (e.g. SGI) implement auto_ptr_ref<Y> with Y* as member which -is much more reasonable.

    Discussion:

    +

    From comp.std.c++:

    -One compliant technique to implement the unspecified_error_on_const_auto_ptr -helper class is using additional private auto_ptr member class template like -the following: +I note that given an input iterator a for type T, +then *a only has to be "convertable to T", not actually of type T.

    -
    template<typename T> struct unspecified_error_on_const_auto_ptr;
     
    -template<typename T>
    -struct unspecified_error_on_const_auto_ptr<auto_ptr<T> const>
    -{ typedef typename auto_ptr<T>::const_auto_ptr_is_not_allowed type; };
    -
    +

    Firstly, I can't seem to find an exact definition of "convertable to T". +While I assume it is the obvious definition (an implicit conversion), I +can't find an exact definition. Is there one?

    -

    -There are other techniques to implement this helper class that might work -better for different compliers (i.e. better diagnostics) and therefore I -suggest defining its semantic behavior without mandating any specific -implementation. IMO, and I didn't found any compiler that thinks otherwise, -14.7.1/5 doesn't theoretically defeat the suggested technique but I suggest -verifying this with core language experts. -

    +

    Slightly more worryingly, there doesn't seem to be any restriction on +the this type, other than it is "convertable to T". Consider two input +iterators a and b. I would personally assume that most people would +expect *a==*b would perform T(*a)==T(*b), however it doesn't seem that +the standard requires that, and that whatever type *a is (call it U) +could have == defined on it with totally different symantics and still +be a valid inputer iterator.

    -

    Further changes in standard text:

    -

    Remove section 20.4.5.3

    +

    Is this a correct reading? When using input iterators should I write +T(*a) all over the place to be sure that the object i'm using is the +class I expect?

    -

    Change 20.4.5/2 to read something like: -Initializing auto_ptr<X> from const auto_ptr<Y> will result with unspecified -ill-formed declaration that will require unspecified diagnostic.

    +

    This is especially a nuisance for operations that are defined to be + "convertible to bool". (This is probably allowed so that + implementations could return say an int and avoid an unnessary + conversion. However all implementations I have seen simply return a + bool anyway. Typical implemtations of STL algorithms just write + things like while(a!=b && *a!=0). But strictly + speaking, there are lots of types that are convertible to T but + that also overload the appropriate operators so this doesn't behave + as expected.

    -

    Change 20.4.5.1/4,5,6 to read:

    +

    If we want to make code like this legal (which most people seem to + expect), then we'll need to tighten up what we mean by "convertible + to T".

    -
    template<class Y> auto_ptr(auto_ptr<Y> const& a) throw();

    -

    5 Effects: Calls const_cast<auto_ptr<Y>&>(a).release().

    -

    6 Postconditions: *this holds the pointer returned from a.release().

    +

    [Lillehammer: The first part is NAD, since "convertible" is + well-defined in core. The second part is basically about pathological + overloads. It's a minor problem but a real one. So leave open for + now, hope we solve it as part of iterator redesign.]

    -

    -Notice that the copy constructor and copy assignment operator should remain -as before and accept non-const auto_ptr& since they have effect on the form -of the implicitly declared copy constructor and copy assignment operator of -class that contains auto_ptr as member per 12.8/5,10: -

    -
    struct X {
    -    // implicit X(X&)
    -    // implicit X& operator=(X&)
    -    auto_ptr<D> aptr_;
    -};
    -
    -

    -In most cases this indicates about sloppy programming but preserves the -current auto_ptr behavior. -

    - -

    -Dave Abrahams encouraged me to suggest fallback implementation in case that -my suggestion that involves removing of auto_ptr_ref will not be accepted. -In this case removing the obsolete conversion member to auto_ptr<Y> and -20.4.5.3/4,5 is still required in order to eliminate ambiguity in legal -cases. The two constructors that I suggested will co exist with the current -members but will make auto_ptr_ref obsolete in initialization contexts. -auto_ptr_ref will be effective in assignment contexts as suggested in DR -#127 and I can't see any serious exception safety issues in those cases -(although it's possible to synthesize such). auto_ptr_ref<X> semantics will -have to be revised to say that it strictly holds pointer of type X and not -reference to an auto_ptr for the favor of cases in which auto_ptr_ref<Y> is -constructed from auto_ptr<X> in which X is different from Y (i.e. assignment -from r-value derived to base). -

    Rationale:

    +

    +Partition is a "foundation" algorithm useful in many contexts (like sorting +as just one example) - my motivation for extending it to include forward +iterators is foward_list - without this extension you can't partition an foward_list +(without writing your own partition). Holes like this in the standard +library weaken the argument for generic programming (ideally I'd be able +to provide a library that would refine std::partition() to other concepts +without fear of conflicting with other libraries doing the same - but +that is a digression). I consider the fact that partition isn't defined +to work for ForwardIterator a minor embarrassment.

    Section: 26.7.3 [partial.sum] Status: Open + Submitter: Marc Schoolderman Opened: 2006-02-06 Last modified: 2009-07-30

    View all issues with Open status.

    Discussion:

    -Most ctype member functions come in two forms: one that operates -on a single character at a time and another form that operates -on a range of characters. Both forms are typically described by -a single Effects and/or Returns clause. +There are some problems in the definition of partial_sum and +adjacent_difference in 26.4 [lib.numeric.ops]

    +

    -The Returns clause of each of the single-character non-virtual forms -suggests that the function calls the corresponding single character -virtual function, and that the array form calls the corresponding -virtual array form. Neither of the two forms of each virtual member -function is required to be implemented in terms of the other. +Unlike accumulate and inner_product, these functions are not +parametrized on a "type T", instead, 26.4.3 [lib.partial.sum] simply +specifies the effects clause as; +

    + +

    +Assigns to every element referred to by iterator i in the range +[result,result + (last - first)) a value correspondingly equal to

    +
    ((...(* first + *( first + 1)) + ...) + *( first + ( i - result )))
    +
    +
    +

    -There are three problems: +And similarly for BinaryOperation. Using just this definition, it seems +logical to expect that:

    + + +
    char i_array[4] = { 100, 100, 100, 100 };
    +int  o_array[4];
    +
    +std::partial_sum(i_array, i_array+4, o_array);
    +
    +

    -1. One is that while the standard does suggest that each non-virtual -member function calls the corresponding form of the virtual function, -it doesn't actually explicitly require it. +Is equivalent to

    + +
    int o_array[4] = { 100, 100+100, 100+100+100, 100+100+100+100 };
    +
    +

    -Implementations that cache results from some of the virtual member -functions for some or all values of their arguments might want to -call the array form from the non-array form the first time to fill -the cache and avoid any or most subsequent virtual calls. Programs -that rely on each form of the virtual function being called from -the corresponding non-virtual function will see unexpected behavior -when using such implementations. +i.e. 100, 200, 300, 400, with addition happening in the result type, +int.

    +

    -2. The second problem is that either form of each of the virtual -functions can be overridden by a user-defined function in a derived -class to return a value that is different from the one produced by -the virtual function of the alternate form that has not been -overriden. +Yet all implementations I have tested produce 100, -56, 44, -112, +because they are using an accumulator of the InputIterator's +value_type, which in this case is char, not int.

    +

    -Thus, it might be possible for, say, ctype::widen(c) to return one -value, while for ctype::widen(&c, &c + 1, &wc) to set -wc to another value. This is almost certainly not intended. Both -forms of every function should be required to return the same result -for the same character, otherwise the same program using an -implementation that calls one form of the functions will behave -differently than when using another implementation that calls the -other form of the function "under the hood." +The issue becomes more noticeable when the result of the expression *i + +*(i+1) or binary_op(*i, *i-1) can't be converted to the +value_type. In a contrived example:

    + +
    enum not_int { x = 1, y = 2 };
    +...
    +not_int e_array[4] = { x, x, y, y };
    +std::partial_sum(e_array, e_array+4, o_array);
    +
    +

    -3. The last problem is that the standard text fails to specify whether -one form of any of the virtual functions is permitted to be implemented -in terms of the other form or not, and if so, whether it is required -or permitted to call the overridden virtual function or not. +Is it the intent that the operations happen in the input type, or in +the result type?

    +

    -Thus, a program that overrides one of the virtual functions so that -it calls the other form which then calls the base member might end -up in an infinite loop if the called form of the base implementation -of the function in turn calls the other form. +If the intent is that operations happen in the result type, something +like this should be added to the "Requires" clause of 26.4.3/4 +[lib.partial.sum]:

    -

    -Lillehammer: Part of this isn't a real problem. We already talk about -caching. 22.1.1/6 But part is a real problem. ctype virtuals may call -each other, so users don't know which ones to override to avoid avoid -infinite loops.

    - -

    This is a problem for all facet virtuals, not just ctype virtuals, -so we probably want a blanket statement in clause 22 for all -facets. The LWG is leaning toward a blanket prohibition, that a -facet's virtuals may never call each other. We might want to do that -in clause 27 too, for that matter. A review is necessary. Bill will -provide wording.

    +

    +The type of *i + *(i+1) or binary_op(*i, *(i+1)) shall meet the +requirements of CopyConstructible (20.1.3) and Assignable +(23.1) types. +

    -

    Proposed resolution:

    +

    +(As also required for T in 26.4.1 [lib.accumulate] and 26.4.2 +[lib.inner.product].) +

    +

    +The "auto initializer" feature proposed in +N1894 +is not required to +implement partial_sum this way. The 'narrowing' behaviour can still be +obtained by using the std::plus<> function object. +

    Discussion:

    -The note on 24.1.2 Output iterators insufficently limits what can be -performed on output iterators. While it requires that each iterator is -progressed through only once and that each iterator is written to only -once, it does not require the following things:

    Note: Here it is assumed that x is an output iterator of type X which -has not yet been assigned to.

    +The 'widening' behaviour can then be obtained by writing a custom proxy +iterator, which is somewhat involved. +

    -

    a) That each value of the output iterator is written to: -The standard allows: -++x; ++x; ++x; +

    +In both cases, the semantics should probably be clarified.

    -b) That assignments to the output iterator are made in order -X a(x); ++a; *a=1; *x=2; is allowed +26.4.4 [lib.adjacent.difference] is similarly underspecified, although +all implementations seem to perform operations in the 'result' type:

    +
    unsigned char i_array[4] = { 4, 3, 2, 1 };
    +int o_array[4];
    +
    +std::adjacent_difference(i_array, i_array+4, o_array);
    +
    +

    -c) Chains of output iterators cannot be constructed: -X a(x); ++a; X b(a); ++b; X c(b); ++c; is allowed, and under the current -wording (I believe) x,a,b,c could be written to in any order. +o_array is 4, -1, -1, -1 as expected, not 4, 255, 255, 255.

    I do not believe this was the intension of the standard?

    Various clauses other than clause 25 make use of iterator arithmetic not -supported by the iterator category in question. -Algorithms in clause 25 are exceptional because of 25 [lib.algorithms], -paragraph 9, but this paragraph does not provide semantics to the -expression "iterator - n", where n denotes a value of a distance type -between iterators.

    +
    +We did not agree that the proposed resolution was correct. For example, +when the arguments are types (float*, float*, double*), the +highest-quality solution would use double as the type of the +accumulator. If the intent of the wording is to require that the type of +the accumulator must be the input_iterator's value_type, the wording +should specify it. +
    -

    1) Examples of current wording:

    +

    [ +2009-05-09 Alisdair adds: +]

    -

    Current wording outside clause 25:

    +
    std::common_type<InIter::value_type, OutIter::reference>::type
    +
    +

    +This type would then have additional requirements of constructability and +incrementability/assignability. +

    +

    +If this extracting an accumulator type from a pair/set of iterators (with +additional requirements on that type) is a problem for multiple functions, +it might be worth extracting into a SharedAccumulator concept or similar.

    Discussion:

    -Problem: -The iterator requirements for partition() and stable_partition() [25.2.12] -are listed as BidirectionalIterator, however, there are efficient algorithms -for these functions that only require ForwardIterator that have been known -since before the standard existed. The SGI implementation includes these (see -http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/partition.html -and -http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/stable_partition.html). +In 25, p8 we allow BinaryPredicates to return a type that's convertible +to bool but need not actually be bool. That allows predicates to return +things like proxies and requires that implementations be careful about +what kinds of expressions they use the result of the predicate in (e.g., +the expression in if (!pred(a, b)) need not be well-formed since the +negation operator may be inaccessible or return a type that's not +convertible to bool). +

    +

    +Here's the text for reference: +

    +

    + ...if an algorithm takes BinaryPredicate binary_pred as its argument + and first1 and first2 as its iterator arguments, it should work + correctly in the construct if (binary_pred(*first1, first2)){...}. +

    + +

    +In 25.3, p2 we require that the Compare function object return true +of false, which would seem to preclude such proxies. The relevant text +is here:

    +

    + Compare is used as a function object which returns true if the first + argument is less than the second, and false otherwise... +

    -

    -A problem with TR1 regex is currently being discussed on the Boost -developers list. It involves the handling of case-insensitive matching -of character ranges such as [Z-a]. The proper behavior (according to the -ECMAScript standard) is unimplementable given the current specification -of the TR1 regex_traits<> class template. John Maddock, the author of -the TR1 regex proposal, agrees there is a problem. The full discussion -can be found at http://lists.boost.org/boost/2005/06/28850.php (first -message copied below). We don't have any recommendations as yet. -

    -

    --- Begin original message -- -

    -

    -The situation of interest is described in the ECMAScript specification -(ECMA-262), section 15.10.2.15: -

    -

    -"Even if the pattern ignores case, the case of the two ends of a range -is significant in determining which characters belong to the range. -Thus, for example, the pattern /[E-F]/i matches only the letters E, F, -e, and f, while the pattern /[E-f]/i matches all upper and lower-case -ASCII letters as well as the symbols [, \, ], ^, _, and `." -

    -

    -A more interesting case is what should happen when doing a -case-insentitive match on a range such as [Z-a]. It should match z, Z, -a, A and the symbols [, \, ], ^, _, and `. This is not what happens with -Boost.Regex (it throws an exception from the regex constructor). -

    -

    -The tough pill to swallow is that, given the specification in TR1, I -don't think there is any effective way to handle this situation. -According to the spec, case-insensitivity is handled with -regex_traits<>::translate_nocase(CharT) -- two characters are equivalent -if they compare equal after both are sent through the translate_nocase -function. But I don't see any way of using this translation function to -make character ranges case-insensitive. Consider the difficulty of -detecting whether "z" is in the range [Z-a]. Applying the transformation -to "z" has no effect (it is essentially std::tolower). And we're not -allowed to apply the transformation to the ends of the range, because as -ECMA-262 says, "the case of the two ends of a range is significant." -

    -

    -So AFAICT, TR1 regex is just broken, as is Boost.Regex. One possible fix -is to redefine translate_nocase to return a string_type containing all -the characters that should compare equal to the specified character. But -this function is hard to implement for Unicode, and it doesn't play nice -with the existing ctype facet. What a mess! -

    +C++ Standard Library templates that take an allocator as an argument +are required to call the allocate() and +deallocate() members of the allocator object to obtain +storage. However, they do not appear to be required to call any other +allocator members such as construct(), +destroy(), address(), and +max_size(). This makes these allocator members less than +useful in portable programs. +

    +

    -

    -One small correction, I have since found that ICU's regex package does -implement this correctly, using a similar mechanism to the current -TR1.Regex. -

    -

    -Given an expression [c1-c2] that is compiled as case insensitive it: -

    -

    -Enumerates every character in the range c1 to c2 and converts it to it's -case folded equivalent. That case folded character is then used a key to a -table of equivalence classes, and each member of the class is added to the -list of possible matches supported by the character-class. This second step -isn't possible with our current traits class design, but isn't necessary if -the input text is also converted to a case-folded equivalent on the fly. -

    -

    -ICU applies similar brute force mechanisms to character classes such as -[[:lower:]] and [[:word:]], however these are at least cached, so the impact -is less noticeable in this case. -

    -

    -Quick and dirty performance comparisons show that expressions such as -"[X-\\x{fff0}]+" are indeed very slow to compile with ICU (about 200 times -slower than a "normal" expression). For an application that uses a lot of -regexes this could have a noticeable performance impact. ICU also has an -advantage in that it knows the range of valid characters codes: code points -outside that range are assumed not to require enumeration, as they can not -be part of any equivalence class. I presume that if we want the TR1.Regex -to work with arbitrarily large character sets enumeration really does become -impractical. -

    -

    -Finally note that Unicode has: -

    -

    -Three cases (upper, lower and title). -One to many, and many to one case transformations. -Character that have context sensitive case translations - for example an -uppercase sigma has two different lowercase forms - the form chosen depends -on context(is it end of a word or not), a caseless match for an upper case -sigma should match either of the lower case forms, which is why case folding -is often approximated by tolower(toupper(c)). -

    -

    -Probably we need some way to enumerate character equivalence classes, -including digraphs (either as a result or an input), and some way to tell -whether the next character pair is a valid digraph in the current locale. -

    -

    -Hoping this doesn't make this even more complex that it was already, -

    Discussion:

    -The "auto initializer" feature proposed in -N1894 -is not required to -implement partial_sum this way. The 'narrowing' behaviour can still be -obtained by using the std::plus<> function object. +The wording used for section 23.2.1 [lib.array] seems to be subtly +ambiguous about zero sized arrays (N==0). Specifically:

    -

    -If the intent is that operations happen in the input type, then -something like this should be added instead; +* "An instance of array<T, N> stores N elements of type T, so that +[...]"

    - -

    -The type of *first shall meet the requirements of -CopyConstructible (20.1.3) and Assignable (23.1) types. -The result of *i + *(i+1) or binary_op(*i, *(i+1)) shall be -convertible to this type. -

    -

    -The 'widening' behaviour can then be obtained by writing a custom proxy -iterator, which is somewhat involved. +Does this imply that a zero sized array object stores 0 elements, i.e. +that it cannot store any element of type T? The next point clarifies +the rationale behind this question, basically how to implement begin() +and end():

    -

    -In both cases, the semantics should probably be clarified. +* 23.2.1.5 [lib.array.zero], p2: "In the case that N == 0, begin() == +end() == unique value."

    -

    -26.4.4 [lib.adjacent.difference] is similarly underspecified, although -all implementations seem to perform operations in the 'result' type: +What does "unique" mean in this context? Let's consider the following +possible implementations, all relying on a partial specialization:

    +
    a)
    +    template< typename T >
    +    class array< T, 0 > {
    +    
    +        ....
     
    -
    unsigned char i_array[4] = { 4, 3, 2, 1 };
    -int o_array[4];
    +        iterator begin()
    +        { return iterator( reinterpret_cast< T * >( this ) ); }
    +        ....
     
    -std::adjacent_difference(i_array, i_array+4, o_array);
    +    };
     
    -

    -o_array is 4, -1, -1, -1 as expected, not 4, 255, 255, 255. +This has been used in boost, probably intending that the return value +had to be unique to the specific array object and that array couldn't +store any T. Note that, besides relying on a reinterpret_cast, has +(more than potential) alignment problems.

    +
    b)
    +    template< typename T >
    +    class array< T, 0 > {
    +    
    +        T t;
    +
    +        iterator begin()
    +        { return iterator( &t ); }
    +        ....
     
    +    };
    +

    -In any case, adjacent_difference doesn't mention the requirements on the -value_type; it can be brought in line with the rest of 26.4 -[lib.numeric.ops] by adding the following to 26.4.4/2 -[lib.adjacent.difference]: +This provides a value which is unique to the object and to the type of +the array, but requires storing a T. Also, it would allow the user to +mistakenly provide an initializer list with one element. +

    +

    +A slight variant could be returning *the* null pointer of type T +

    +
        return static_cast<T*>(0);
    +
    +

    +In this case the value would be unique to the type array<T, 0> but not +to the objects (all objects of type array<T, 0> with the same value +for T would yield the same pointer value). +

    +

    +Furthermore this is inconsistent with what the standard requires from +allocation functions (see library issue 9). +

    +

    +c) same as above but with t being a static data member; again, the +value would be unique to the type, not to the object. +

    +

    +d) to avoid storing a T *directly* while disallowing the possibility +to use a one-element initializer list a non-aggregate nested class +could be defined +

    +
        struct holder { holder() {} T t; } h;
    +
    +

    +and then begin be defined as +

    +
     iterator begin() { return &h.t; }
    +
    +

    +But then, it's arguable whether the array stores a T or not. +Indirectly it does. +

    +

    +----------------------------------------------------- +

    +

    +Now, on different issues: +

    +

    +* what's the effect of calling assign(T&) on a zero-sized array? There +seems to be only mention of front() and back(), in 23.2.1 [lib.array] +p4 (I would also suggest to move that bullet to section 23.2.1.5 +[lib.array.zero], for locality of reference) +

    +

    +* (minor) the opening paragraph of 23.2.1 [lib.array] wording is a bit +inconsistent with that of other sequences: that's not a problem in +itself, but compare it for instance with "A vector is a kind of +sequence that supports random access iterators"; though the intent is +obvious one might argue that the wording used for arrays doesn't tell +what an array is, and relies on the reader to infer that it is what +the <array> header defines. +

    +

    +* it would be desiderable to have a static const data member of type +std::size_t, with value N, for usage as integral constant expression +

    +

    +* section 23.1 [lib.container.requirements] seem not to consider +fixed-size containers at all, as it says: "[containers] control +allocation and deallocation of these objects [the contained objects] +through constructors, destructors, *insert and erase* operations" +

    +

    +* max_size() isn't specified: the result is obvious but, technically, +it relies on table 80: "size() of the largest possible container" +which, again, doesn't seem to consider fixed size containers

    Discussion:

    -The TR sneaks in two new integer types, _Longlong and _Ulonglong, in [tr.c99]. -The rest of the TR should use that type. I believe this affects two places. -First, the random number requirements, 5.1.1/10-11, lists all of the types with -which template parameters named IntType and UIntType may be instantiated. -_Longlong (or "long long", assuming it is added to C++0x) should be added to the -IntType list, and UIntType (again, or "unsigned long long") should be added to -the UIntType list. Second, 6.3.2 lists the types for which hash<> is -required to be instantiable. _Longlong and _Ulonglong should be added to that -list, so that people may use long long as a hash key. +It seems undesirable to define the Swappable requirement in terms of +CopyConstructible and Assignable requirements. And likewise, once the +MoveConstructible and MoveAssignable requirements (N1860) have made it +into the Working Draft, it seems undesirable to define the Swappable +requirement in terms of those requirements. Instead, it appears +preferable to have the Swappable requirement defined exclusively in +terms of the existence of an appropriate swap function.

    - - -

    Proposed resolution:

    +Section 20.1.4 [lib.swappable] of the current Working Draft (N2009) +says: +

    +

    +The Swappable requirement is met by satisfying one or more of the +following conditions:

    +
      +
    • +T is Swappable if T satisfies the CopyConstructible requirements +(20.1.3) and the Assignable requirements (23.1); +
    • +
    • +T is Swappable if a namespace scope function named swap exists in the +same namespace as the definition of T, such that the expression +swap(t,u) is valid and has the semantics described in Table 33. +
    • +
    +
    +I can think of three disadvantages of this definition: +
      +
    1. +If a client's type T satisfies the first condition (T is both +CopyConstructible and Assignable), the client cannot stop T from +satisfying the Swappable requirement without stopping T from +satisfying the first condition. +

      +A client might want to stop T from satisfying the Swappable +requirement, because swapping by means of copy construction and +assignment might throw an exception, and she might find a throwing +swap unacceptable for her type. On the other hand, she might not feel +the need to fully implement her own swap function for this type. In +this case she would want to be able to simply prevent algorithms that +would swap objects of type T from being used, e.g., by declaring a +swap function for T, and leaving this function purposely undefined. +This would trigger a link error, if an attempt would be made to use +such an algorithm for this type. For most standard library +implementations, this practice would indeed have the effect of +stopping T from satisfying the Swappable requirement. +

      +
    2. +
    3. +A client's type T that does not satisfy the first condition can not be +made Swappable by providing a specialization of std::swap for T. +

      +While I'm aware about the fact that people have mixed feelings about +providing a specialization of std::swap, it is well-defined to do so. +It sounds rather counter-intuitive to say that T is not Swappable, if +it has a valid and semantically correct specialization of std::swap. +Also in practice, providing such a specialization will have the same +effect as satisfying the Swappable requirement. +

      +
    4. +
    5. +For a client's type T that satisfies both conditions of the Swappable +requirement, it is not specified which of the two conditions prevails. +After reading section 20.1.4 [lib.swappable], one might wonder whether +objects of T will be swapped by doing copy construction and +assignments, or by calling the swap function of T. +

      +I'm aware that the intention of the Draft is to prefer calling the +swap function of T over doing copy construction and assignments. Still +in my opinion, it would be better to make this clear in the wording of +the definition of Swappable. +

      +
    6. +
    +

    +I would like to have the Swappable requirement defined in such a way +that the following code fragment will correctly swap two objects of a +type T, if and only if T is Swappable: +

    +
       using std::swap;
    +   swap(t, u);  // t and u are of type T.
    +
    +

    +This is also the way Scott Meyers recommends calling a swap function, +in Effective C++, Third Edition, item 25. +

    +

    +Most aspects of this issue have been dealt with in a discussion on +comp.std.c++ about the Swappable requirement, from 13 September to 4 +October 2006, including valuable input by David Abrahams, Pete Becker, +Greg Herlihy, Howard Hinnant and others.

    -There are two deficiencies related to file sizes: +

    + +Many member functions of basic_string are overloaded, +with some of the overloads taking a string argument, +others value_type*, others size_type, and +others still iterators. Often, the requirements on one of +the overloads are expressed in the form of Effects, +Throws, and in the Working Paper +(N2134) +also Remark clauses, while those on the rest of the overloads +via a reference to this overload and using a Returns clause.

    -
      -
    1. It doesn't appear that the Standard Library is specified in - a way that handles modern file sizes, which are often too - large to be represented by an unsigned long.
    2. -
    3. The std::fpos class does not currently have the ability to - set/get file positions.
    4. -

    -The Dinkumware implementation of the Standard Library as shipped with the Microsoft compiler copes with these issues by: +The difference between the two forms of specification is that per +17.5.1.4 [structure.specifications], p3, an Effects clause specifies +"actions performed by the functions," i.e., its observable +effects, while a Returns clause is "a description of the +return value(s) of a function" that does not impose any +requirements on the function's observable effects.

    -
      -
    1. Defining fpos_t be long long, which is large enough to - represent any file position likely in the foreseeable future.
    2. -
    3. Adding member functions to class fpos. For example, -
      fpos_t seekpos() const;
      -
      -
    4. -

    -Because there are so many types relating to file positions and offsets (fpos_t, -fpos, pos_type, off_type, streamoff, streamsize, streampos, wstreampos, and -perhaps more), it is difficult to know if the Dinkumware extensions are -sufficient. But they seem a useful starting place for discussions, and they do -represent existing practice. +Since only Notes are explicitly defined to be informative and +all other paragraphs are explicitly defined to be normative, like +Effects and Returns, the new Remark clauses also +impose normative requirements.

    - - - -

    Proposed resolution:

    +So by this strict reading of the standard there are some member +functions of basic_string that are required to throw an +exception under some conditions or use specific traits members while +many other otherwise equivalent overloads, while obliged to return the +same values, aren't required to follow the exact same requirements +with regards to the observable effects.

    +

    +Here's an example of this problem that was precipitated by the change +from informative Notes to normative Remarks (presumably made to +address 424): +

    +

    +In the Working Paper, find(string, size_type) contains a +Remark clause (which is just a Note in the current +standard) requiring it to use traits::eq(). +

    +

    +find(const charT *s, size_type pos) is specified to +return find(string(s), pos) by a Returns clause +and so it is not required to use traits::eq(). However, +the Working Paper has replaced the original informative Note +about the function using traits::length() with a +normative requirement in the form of a Remark. Calling +traits::length() may be suboptimal, for example when the +argument is a very long array whose initial substring doesn't appear +anywhere in *this. +

    +

    +Here's another similar example, one that existed even prior to the +introduction of Remarks: +

    -Section 22.2, paragraph 2 requires facet get() members -that take an ios_base::iostate& argument, -err, to ignore the (initial) value of the -argument, but to set it to ios_base::failbit in case of a -parse error. +-1- Each element of the *this array is assigned the value +of the corresponding element of the argument array.

    Discussion:

    -The wording used for section 23.2.1 [lib.array] seems to be subtly -ambiguous about zero sized arrays (N==0). Specifically: -

    -

    -* "An instance of array<T, N> stores N elements of type T, so that -[...]" -

    -

    -Does this imply that a zero sized array object stores 0 elements, i.e. -that it cannot store any element of type T? The next point clarifies -the rationale behind this question, basically how to implement begin() -and end(): -

    -

    -* 23.2.1.5 [lib.array.zero], p2: "In the case that N == 0, begin() == -end() == unique value." -

    -

    -What does "unique" mean in this context? Let's consider the following -possible implementations, all relying on a partial specialization: +The general requirements for BinaryPredicate (in 25 [algorithms]/8) contradict the implied specific requirements for +some functions. In particular, it says that:

    -
    a)
    -    template< typename T >
    -    class array< T, 0 > {
    -    
    -        ....
     
    -        iterator begin()
    -        { return iterator( reinterpret_cast< T * >( this ) ); }
    -        ....
    +

    +[...] if an algorithm takes BinaryPredicate binary_pred +as its argument and first1 and first2 as its +iterator arguments, it should work correctly in the construct if +(binary_pred (*first1 , *first2 )){...}. +BinaryPredicate always takes the first iterator type as its +first argument, that is, in those cases when T value is +part of the signature, it should work correctly in the context of if +(binary_pred (*first1 , value)){...}. +

    - }; -

    -This has been used in boost, probably intending that the return value -had to be unique to the specific array object and that array couldn't -store any T. Note that, besides relying on a reinterpret_cast, has -(more than potential) alignment problems. +In the description of upper_bound (25.5.3.2 [upper.bound]/2), however, the use is described as +"!comp(value, e)", where e is an +element of the sequence (a result of dereferencing +*first).

    -This provides a value which is unique to the object and to the type of -the array, but requires storing a T. Also, it would allow the user to -mistakenly provide an initializer list with one element. -

        return static_cast<T*>(0);
    -
    -

    -In this case the value would be unique to the type array<T, 0> but not -to the objects (all objects of type array<T, 0> with the same value -for T would yield the same pointer value). -

    -

    -Furthermore this is inconsistent with what the standard requires from -allocation functions (see library issue 9). -

    -

    -* (minor) the opening paragraph of 23.2.1 [lib.array] wording is a bit -inconsistent with that of other sequences: that's not a problem in -itself, but compare it for instance with "A vector is a kind of -sequence that supports random access iterators"; though the intent is -obvious one might argue that the wording used for arrays doesn't tell -what an array is, and relies on the reader to infer that it is what -the <array> header defines. -

    -

    -* it would be desiderable to have a static const data member of type -std::size_t, with value N, for usage as integral constant expression -

    -

    -* max_size() isn't specified: the result is obvious but, technically, -it relies on table 80: "size() of the largest possible container" -which, again, doesn't seem to consider fixed size containers +In the description of lexicographical_compare, we have both +"*first1 < *first2" and "*first2 +< *first1" (which presumably implies "comp( +*first1, *first2 )" and "comp( *first2, +*first1 )".

    Proposed resolution:

    -I am not familiar with the C TR, but my guess is that the -class type approach still won't match a built-in type -approach because the notion of "promotion" cannot be -emulated by user-defined types. +Logically, the BinaryPredicate is used as an ordering +relationship, with the semantics of "less than". Depending on the +function, it may be used to determine equality, or any of the inequality +relationships; doing this requires being able to use it with either +parameter first. I would thus suggest that the requirement be:

    + +

    +[...] BinaryPredicate always takes the first iterator +value_type as one of its arguments, it is unspecified which. If +an algorithm takes BinaryPredicate binary_pred as its +argument and first1 and first2 as its +iterator arguments, it should work correctly both in the construct +if (binary_pred (*first1 , *first2 )){...} and +if (binary_pred (*first2, *first1)){...}. In +those cases when T value is part of the signature, it +should work correctly in the context of if (binary_pred +(*first1 , value)){...} and of if (binary_pred +(value, *first1)){...}. [Note: if the two +types are not identical, and neither is convertable to the other, this +may require that the BinaryPredicate be a functional object +with two overloaded operator()() functions. --end note] +

    +

    -Here is an example: +Alternatively, one could specify an order for each function. IMHO, this +would be more work for the committee, more work for the implementors, +and of no real advantage for the user: some functions, such as +lexicographical_compare or equal_range, will still require both +functions, and it seems like a much easier rule to teach that both +functions are always required, rather than to have a complicated list of +when you only need one, and which one.

    -
    +

    Rationale:

    +

    [ +post San Francisco: +]

    +
    -

    -If _Decimal32 is a built-in type, the call f(d) will likely -resolve to f(_Decimal64) because that requires only a -promotion, whereas f(S) requires a user-defined conversion. -

    -

    -If _Decimal32 is a class type, I think the call f(d) will be -ambiguous because both the conversion to _Decimal64 and the -conversion to S will be user-defined conversions with neither -better than the other. -

    +Solved by +N2759.
    -

    -Robert comments: -

    -

    -In general, a library of arithmetic types cannot exactly emulate the -behavior of the intrinsic numeric types. There are several ways to tell -whether an implementation of the decimal types uses compiler -intrinisics or a library. For example: -

    -
                     _Decimal32 d1;
    -                 d1.operator+=(5);  // If d1 is a builtin type, this won't compile.
    -
    -

    -In preparing the decimal TR, we have three options: -

    -
      -
    1. require that the decimal types be class types
    2. -
    3. require that the decimal types be builtin types, like float and double
    4. -
    5. specify a library of class types, but allow enough implementor -latitude that a conforming implementation could instead provide builtin -types
    6. -
    -

    -We decided as a group to pursue option #3, but that approach implies -that implementations may not agree on the semantics of certain use -cases (first example, above), or on whether certain other cases are -well-formed (second example). Another potentially important problem is -that, under the present definition of POD, the decimal classes are not -POD types, but builtins will be. -

    -

    Note that neither example above implies any problems with respect to -C-to-C++ compatibility, since neither example can be expressed in C. -

And as Howard +Hinnant remarked in the same thread that the input iterator +istreambuf_iterator doesn't have one, this must be a +defect!

    -

    -"Unless otherwise specified, all array operations are as described in -23.2 [container.requirements]". -

    -However, array isn't mentioned at all in section 23.2 [container.requirements]. -In particular, Table 82 "Sequence requirements" lists several operations (insert, erase, clear) -that std::array does not have in 23.3.1 [array]. +Based on Greg's example, the following code demonstrates the issue: +

    + +

    +The proposed resolution does +not seem inconsistent to me. istreambuf_iterator::operator->() should +have istreambuf_iterator::pointer as return type, and this return type +may in fact be a proxy.

    +

    +AFAIK, the resolution of 445 ("iterator_traits::reference +unspecified for some iterator categories") implies that for any iterator +class Iter, the return type of operator->() is Iter::pointer, by +definition. I don't think Iter::pointer needs to be a raw pointer. +

    +

    +Still I wouldn't mind if the text "operator-> may return a proxy" would +be removed from the resolution. I think it's up to the library +implementation, how to implement istreambuf_iterator::operator->(). As +longs as it behaves as expected: i->m should have the same effect as +(*i).m.

    Discussion:

    -

    - -Many member functions of basic_string are overloaded, -with some of the overloads taking a string argument, -others value_type*, others size_type, and -others still iterators. Often, the requirements on one of -the overloads are expressed in the form of Effects, -Throws, and in the Working Paper -(N2134) -also Remark clauses, while those on the rest of the overloads -via a reference to this overload and using a Returns clause. -

    +

    -The difference between the two forms of specification is that per -17.5.1.4 [structure.specifications], p3, an Effects clause specifies -"actions performed by the functions," i.e., its observable -effects, while a Returns clause is "a description of the -return value(s) of a function" that does not impose any -requirements on the function's observable effects. +I agree with the observation that in principle the type 'pointer' may be a +proxy, and the words highlighting this are redundant.

    -

    -Since only Notes are explicitly defined to be informative and -all other paragraphs are explicitly defined to be normative, like -Effects and Returns, the new Remark clauses also -impose normative requirements. +However, in the current draught pointer is required to be exactly 'charT *' +by the derivation from std::iterator. At a minimum, the 4th parameter of +this base class template should become unspecified. That permits the +introduction of a proxy as a nested class in some further undocumented (not +even exposition-only) base.

    -

    -So by this strict reading of the standard there are some member -functions of basic_string that are required to throw an -exception under some conditions or use specific traits members while -many other otherwise equivalent overloads, while obliged to return the -same values, aren't required to follow the exact same requirements -with regards to the observable effects. +It also permits the istream_iterator approach where the cached value is +stored in the iterator itself, and the iterator serves as its own proxy for +post-increment operator++ - removing the need for the existing +exposition-only nested class proxy.

    -

    -Here's an example of this problem that was precipitated by the change -from informative Notes to normative Remarks (presumably made to -address 424): +Note that the current proxy class also has exactly the right properties to +serve as the pointer proxy too. This is likely to be a common case where an +InputIterator does not hold internal state but delegates to another class.

    -

    -In the Working Paper, find(string, size_type) contains a -Remark clause (which is just a Note in the current -standard) requiring it to use traits::eq(). +Proposed Resolution:

    -

    -find(const charT *s, size_type pos) is specified to -return find(string(s), pos) by a Returns clause -and so it is not required to use traits::eq(). However, -the Working Paper has replaced the original informative Note -about the function using traits::length() with a -normative requirement in the form of a Remark. Calling -traits::length() may be suboptimal, for example when the -argument is a very long array whose initial substring doesn't appear -anywhere in *this. +In addition to the current proposal:

    -

    -Here's another similar example, one that existed even prior to the -introduction of Remarks: +24.6.3 [istreambuf.iterator]

    [Howard: done.]

    -Section 26.2 [numeric.requirements], p1 suggests that a -valarray specialization on a type T that -satisfies the requirements enumerated in the paragraph is itself a -valid type on which valarray may be instantiated -(Footnote 269 makes this clear). I.e., -valarray<valarray<T> > is valid as long as -T is valid. However, since implementations of -valarray are permitted to initialize storage allocated by -the class by invoking the default ctor of T followed by -the copy assignment operator, such implementations of -valarray wouldn't work with (perhaps user-defined) -specializations of valarray whose assignment operator had -undefined behavior when the size of its argument didn't match the size -of *this. By "wouldn't work" I mean that it would -be impossible to resize such an array of arrays by calling the -resize() member function on it if the function used the -copy assignment operator after constructing all elements using the -default ctor (e.g., by invoking new value_type[N]) to -obtain default-initialized storage) as it's permitted to do. -

    -

    -Stated more generally, the problem is that -valarray<valarray<T> >::resize(size_t) isn't -required or guaranteed to have well-defined semantics for every type -T that satisfies all requirements in -26.2 [numeric.requirements]. +

    +22.4.6.1.2 [locale.money.get.virtuals], para 3 says: +

    -

    -

    +

    +If pos or neg is empty, the sign component is +optional, and if no sign is detected, the result is given the sign +that corresponds to the source of the empty string. +

    -I believe this problem was introduced by the adoption of the -resolution outlined in N0857, -Assignment of valarrays, from 1996. The copy assignment -operator of the original numerical array classes proposed in N0280, -as well as the one proposed in N0308 -(both from 1993), had well-defined semantics for arrays of unequal -size (the latter explicitly only when *this was empty; -assignment of non empty arrays of unequal size was a runtime error). +

    +The following objection has been raised: +

    -

    -

    +

    +A negative_sign of "" means "there is no +way to write a negative sign" not "any null sequence is a negative +sign, so it's always there when you look for it". +

    -The justification for the change given in N0857 was the "loss of -performance [deemed] only significant for very simple operations on -small arrays or for architectures with very few registers." +

    +[Plum ref _222612Y32] +

    -

    -

    +

    [ +Kona (2007): Bill to provide proposed wording and interpretation of existing wording. +]

    -Since tiny arrays on a limited subset of hardware architectures are -likely to be an exceedingly rare case (despite the continued -popularity of x86) I propose to revert the resolution and make the -behavior of all valarray assignment operators -well-defined even for non-conformal arrays (i.e., arrays of unequal -size). I have implemented this change and measured no significant -degradation in performance in the common case (non-empty arrays of -equal size). I have measured a 50% (and in some cases even greater) -speedup in the case of assignments to empty arrays versus calling -resize() first followed by an invocation of the copy -assignment operator. -

    +

    +Related to 669. +

    [ -Bellevue: +2009-05-17 Howard adds: ]

    -If no proposed wording by June meeting, this issue should be closed NAD. +

    +I disagree that a negative_sign of "" means "there is no +way to +write a negative sign". The meaning requires the sentences of +22.4.6.1.2 [locale.money.get.virtuals] p3 following that quoted above +to be +taken into account: +

    + +
    +-3- ... If pos or neg is empty, the sign component is +optional, and if no sign is detected, the result is given the sign that +corresponds to the source of the empty string. Otherwise, the character +in the indicated position must match the first character of pos +or neg, and the result is given the corresponding sign. If the +first character of pos is equal to the first character of +neg, or if both strings are empty, the result is given a +positive sign.
    +

    +So a negative_sign of "" means "there is no way to write a +negative sign" only when positive_sign is also "". However +when negative_sign is "" and postive_sign.size() > +0, then one writes a negative value by not writing the +postive_sign in the position indicated by +money_base::sign. +For example: +

    +
    pattern = {symbol, sign, value, none}
    +positive_sign = "+"
    +negative_sign = ""

    -A recent news group discussion: +I am trying to understand how TR1 supports hex float (%a) output.

    -

    -Anyone know if the Standard has anything to say about the time complexity -of size() for std::set? I need to access a set's size (/not/ to know if it is empty!) heavily -during an algorithm and was thus wondering whether I'd be better off -tracking the size "manually" or whether that'd be pointless. +As far as I can tell, it does so via the following:

    -That would be pointless. size() is O(1). +8.15 Additions to header <locale> [tr.c99.locale]

    -Nit: the standard says "should" have constant time. Implementations may take -license to do worse. I know that some do this for std::list<> as a part of -some trade-off with other operation. +In subclause 22.4.2.2.2 [facet.num.put.virtuals], Table 58 Floating-point conversions, after +the line: +floatfield == ios_base::scientific %E

    -

    -I was aware of that, hence my reluctance to use size() for std::set. +add the two lines:

    +
    floatfield == ios_base::fixed | ios_base::scientific && !uppercase %a
    +floatfield == ios_base::fixed | ios_base::scientific %A 2
    +

    -However, this reason would not apply to std::set<> as far as I can see. +[Note: The additional requirements on print and scan functions, later +in this clause, ensure that the print functions generate hexadecimal +floating-point fields with a %a or %A conversion specifier, and that +the scan functions match hexadecimal floating-point fields with a %g +conversion specifier. end note]

    -Ok, I guess the only option is to try it and see... +Following the thread, in 22.4.2.2.2 [facet.num.put.virtuals], we find:

    -

    -If I have any recommendation to the C++ Standards Committee it is that -implementations must (not "should"!) document clearly[1], where known, the -time complexity of *all* container access operations. +For conversion from a floating-point type, if (flags & fixed) != 0 or +if str.precision() > 0, then str.precision() is specified in the +conversion specification.

    -[1] In my case (gcc 4.1.1) I can't swear that the time complexity of size() -for std::set is not documented... but if it is it's certainly well hidden -away. +This would seem to imply that when floatfield == fixed|scientific, the +precision of the conversion specifier is to be taken from +str.precision(). Is this really what's intended? I sincerely hope +that I'm either missing something or this is an oversight. Please +tell me that the committee did not intend to mandate that hex floats +(and doubles) should by default be printed as if by %.6a.

    Discussion:

    -Greg Herlihy has clearly demonstrated that a user defined input -iterator should have an operator->(), even if its -value type is a built-in type (comp.std.c++, "Re: Should any iterator -have an operator->() in C++0x?", March 2007). And as Howard -Hinnant remarked in the same thread that the input iterator -istreambuf_iterator doesn't have one, this must be a -defect! +Add to 23.5.2.1 [unord.multimap.cnstr]:

    -The proposed resolution does -not seem inconsistent to me. istreambuf_iterator::operator->() should -have istreambuf_iterator::pointer as return type, and this return type -may in fact be a proxy. -

    -

    -AFAIK, the resolution of 445 ("iterator_traits::reference -unspecified for some iterator categories") implies that for any iterator -class Iter, the return type of operator->() is Iter::pointer, by -definition. I don't think Iter::pointer needs to be a raw pointer. -

    -

    -Still I wouldn't mind if the text "operator-> may return a proxy" would -be removed from the resolution. I think it's up to the library -implementation, how to implement istreambuf_iterator::operator->(). As -longs as it behaves as expected: i->m should have the same effect as -(*i).m.

    -
    -

    -I agree with the observation that in principle the type 'pointer' may be a -proxy, and the words highlighting this are redundant. -

    -

    -However, in the current draught pointer is required to be exactly 'charT *' -by the derivation from std::iterator. At a minimum, the 4th parameter of -this base class template should become unspecified. That permits the -introduction of a proxy as a nested class in some further undocumented (not -even exposition-only) base. -

    -

    -It also permits the istream_iterator approach where the cached value is -stored in the iterator itself, and the iterator serves as its own proxy for -post-increment operator++ - removing the need for the existing -exposition-only nested class proxy. -

    -

    -Note that the current proxy class also has exactly the right properties to -serve as the pointer proxy too. This is likely to be a common case where an -InputIterator does not hold internal state but delegates to another class. -

    -The Standard is clear that the minus sign stored in digits is ct.widen('-'). -The subject string must contain characters c in the set [-0123456789] -which are translated by ct.widen(c) calls before being stored in digits; -the widened characters are not relevant to the parsing of the subject string. +

    +Please remind people who are reviewing issues to check that the text +modifications match the current draft. Issue 676, for example, adds two +overloads for unordered_map::insert taking a hint. One takes a +const_iterator and returns a const_iterator, and the other takes an +iterator and returns an iterator. This was correct at the time the issue +was written, but was changed in Toronto so there is only one hint +overload, taking a const_iterator and returning an iterator. +

    +

    +This issue is not ready. In addition to the relatively minor signature +problem I mentioned earlier, it puts requirements in the wrong places. +Instead of duplicating requirements throughout the template +specifications, it should put them in the front matter that talks about +requirements for unordered containers in general.

    Discussion:

    -22.4.6.1.2 [locale.money.get.virtuals], para 3 says: +From message c++std-lib-17897:

    - -

    -If pos or neg is empty, the sign component is -optional, and if no sign is detected, the result is given the sign -that corresponds to the source of the empty string. -

    -

    -The following objection has been raised: +The code shown in 27.7.1.2.2 [istream.formatted.arithmetic] as the "as if" +implementation of the two arithmetic extractors that don't have a +corresponding num_get interface (i.e., the +short and int overloads) is subtly buggy in +how it deals with EOF, overflow, and other similar +conditions (in addition to containing a few typos).

    - -

    -A negative_sign of "" means "there is no -way to write a negative sign" not "any null sequence is a negative -sign, so it's always there when you look for it". -

    -

    -[Plum ref _222612Y32] +One problem is that if num_get::get() reaches the EOF +after reading in an otherwise valid value that exceeds the limits of +the narrower type (but not LONG_MIN or +LONG_MAX), it will set err to +eofbit. Because of the if condition testing for +(err == 0), the extractor won't set +failbit (and presumably, return a bogus value to the +caller). +

    +

    +Another problem with the code is that it never actually sets the +argument to the extracted value. It can't happen after the call to +setstate() since the function may throw, so we need to +show when and how it's done (we can't just punt as say: "it happens +afterwards"). However, it turns out that showing how it's done isn't +quite so easy since the argument is normally left unchanged by the +facet on error except when the error is due to a misplaced thousands +separator, which causes failbit to be set but doesn't +prevent the facet from storing the value.

    [ -2009-05-17 Howard adds: +2009-05-28 Howard adds: ]

    -I disagree that a negative_sign of "" means "there is no -way to -write a negative sign". The meaning requires the sentences of -22.4.6.1.2 [locale.money.get.virtuals] p3 following that quoted above -to be -taken into account: +I've moved this issue from Tentatively NAD to Open.

    -
    --3- ... If pos or neg is empty, the sign component is -optional, and if no sign is detected, the result is given the sign that -corresponds to the source of the empty string. Otherwise, the character -in the indicated position must match the first character of pos -or neg, and the result is given the corresponding sign. If the -first character of pos is equal to the first character of -neg, or if both strings are empty, the result is given a -positive sign. -
    -

    -So a negative_sign of "" means "there is no way to write a -negative sign" only when positive_sign is also "". However -when negative_sign is "" and postive_sign.size() > -0, then one writes a negative value by not writing the -postive_sign in the position indicated by -money_base::sign. -For example: +The current wording of +N2857 +in 22.4.2.1.2 [facet.num.get.virtuals] p3, stage 3 appears to indicate that +in parsing arithmetic types, the value is always set, but sometimes in addition +to setting failbit.

    -negative_sign = ""

    -22.4.6.1.2 [locale.money.get.virtuals], para 3 sentence 4 says: +The move-related changes inadvertently overwrote the intent of 276. +Issue 276 removed the requirement of CopyAssignable from +most of the member functions of node-based containers.

The following objections has been raised: +We also discussed (c++std-lib-18722) the possibility of dropping MoveAssignable +from some of the sequence requirements. Additionally the in-place construction +work may further reduce requirements. For purposes of an easy reference, here are the +minimum sequence requirements as I currently understand them. Those items in requirements +table in the working draft which do not appear below have been purposefully omitted for +brevity as they do not have any requirements of this nature. Some items which do not +have any requirements of this nature are included below just to confirm that they were +not omitted by mistake.

    -For conversion from a floating-point type, if (flags & fixed) != 0 or -if str.precision() > 0, then str.precision() is specified in the -conversion specification. +What this means for vendors is that they will have to implement container members +being careful to only use those characteristics of a type that the concepts specification +formally allowed. Note that I am not talking about enable_if'ing +everything. I am simply suggesting that (for example) we tell the vendor he can't call T's +copy constructor or move constructor within the emplace member function, etc.

    -This would seem to imply that when floatfield == fixed|scientific, the -precision of the conversion specifier is to be taken from -str.precision(). Is this really what's intended?

    711. Contradiction in empty shared_ptr

    Discussion:

    -A reference_wrapper can be constructed from an rvalue, either by using -the constructor, or via cref (and ref in some corner cases). This leads -to a dangling reference being stored into the reference_wrapper object. -Now that we have a mechanism to detect an rvalue, we can fix them to -disallow this source of undefined behavior. +A discussion on +comp.std.c++ +has identified a contradiction in the shared_ptr specification. +The note: +

    + +

    +[ Note: this constructor allows creation of an empty shared_ptr instance with a non-NULL stored pointer. +-end note ] +

    + +

    +after the aliasing constructor +

    + +
    template<class Y> shared_ptr(shared_ptr<Y> const& r, T *p);
    +
    + +

    +reflects the intent of +N2351 +to, well, allow the creation of an empty shared_ptr +with a non-NULL stored pointer.

    -Also please see the thread starting at c++std-lib-17398 for some good discussion on this subject. +This is contradicted by the second sentence in the Returns clause of 20.8.10.2.5 [util.smartptr.shared.obs]:

    +
    +
    T* get() const;
    +
    +

    +Returns: the stored pointer. Returns a null pointer if *this is empty. +

    +
    +

    [ -2009-05-09 Alisdair adds: +Bellevue: ]

    -Now that ref/cref are constained that T must be an ObjectType, I do not -believe there is any risk of binding ref to a temporary (which would rely on -deducing T to be an rvalue reference type) +Adopt option 1 and move to review, not ready. +

    +

    +There was a lot of confusion about what an empty shared_ptr is (the term +isn't defined anywhere), and whether we have a good mental model for how +one behaves. We think it might be possible to deduce what the definition +should be, but the words just aren't there. We need to open an issue on +the use of this undefined term. (The resolution of that issue might +affect the resolution of issue 711.)

    -However, the problem for cref remains, so I recommend retaining that deleted -overload. +The LWG is getting more uncomfortable with the aliasing proposal (N2351) +now that we realize some of its implications, and we need to keep an eye +on it, but there isn't support for removing this feature at this time.

    [ -2009-05-10 Howard adds: +Sophia Antipolis: ]

    -Without: +We heard from Peter Dimov, who explained his reason for preferring solution 1. +

    +

    +Because it doesn't seem to add anything. It simply makes the behavior +for p = 0 undefined. For programmers who don't create empty pointers +with p = 0, there is no difference. Those who do insist on creating them +presumably have a good reason, and it costs nothing for us to define the +behavior in this case. +

    +

    +The aliasing constructor is sharp enough as it is, so "protecting" users +doesn't make much sense in this particular case. +

    +

    +> Do you have a use case for r being empty and r being non-null? +

    +

    +I have received a few requests for it from "performance-conscious" +people (you should be familiar with this mindset) who don't like the +overhead of allocating and maintaining a control block when a null +deleter is used to approximate a raw pointer. It is obviously an "at +your own risk", low-level feature; essentially a raw pointer behind a +shared_ptr facade. +

    +

    +We could not agree upon a resolution to the issue; some of us thought +that Peter's description above is supporting an undesirable behavior.

    Discussion:

    +

    +Since the inclusion of constexpr in the standard draft N2369 we have +a new type category "literal", which is defined in 3.9 [basic.types]/p.11: +

    + +
    +

    +-11- A type is a literal type if it is: +

    +
      +
    • a scalar type; or
    • +
    • a class type (clause 9) with

      +
        +
      • a trivial copy constructor,
      • +
      • a trivial destructor,
      • +
      • at least one constexpr constructor other than the copy constructor,
      • +
      • no virtual base classes, and
      • +
      • all non-static data members and base classes of literal types; or
      • +
      +
    • +
    • an array of literal type.
    • +
    +
    + +

    +I strongly suggest that the standard provides a type traits for +literal types in 20.6.4.3 [meta.unary.prop] for several reasons: +

    + +
      +
    1. To keep the traits in sync with existing types.
    2. +
    3. I see many reasons for programmers to use this trait in template + code to provide optimized template definitions for these types, + see below.
    4. +
    5. A user-provided definition of this trait is practically impossible +to write portably.
    6. +
    + +

    +The special problem of reason (c) is that I don't see currently a +way to portably test the condition for literal class types: +

    + +
    +
      +
    • at least one constexpr constructor other than the copy constructor,
    • +
    +
    +

    -after the aliasing constructor -

    +
      +
    1. Overloads taking const charT * are provided for regex_match() and +regex_search(), but not regex_replace(). This is inconsistent.
    2. +
    3. +

      The absence of const charT * overloads prevents ordinary-looking code from compiling, such as:

      -
      template<class Y> shared_ptr(shared_ptr<Y> const& r, T *p);
      +
      const string s("kitten");
      +const regex r("en");
      +cout << regex_replace(s, r, "y") << endl;
       

      -reflects the intent of -N2351 -to, well, allow the creation of an empty shared_ptr -with a non-NULL stored pointer. +The compiler error message will be something like "could not deduce +template argument for 'const std::basic_string<_Elem> &' from 'const +char[1]'". +

      + +

      +Users expect that anything taking a basic_string<charT> can also take a +const charT *. In their own code, when they write a function taking +std::string (or std::wstring), they can pass a const char * (or const +wchar_t *), thanks to basic_string's implicit constructor. Because the +regex algorithms are templated on charT, they can't rely on +basic_string's implicit constructor (as the compiler error message +indicates, template argument deduction fails first).

      -This is contradicted by the second sentence in the Returns clause of 20.8.13.2.5 [util.smartptr.shared.obs]: +If a user figures out what the compiler error message means, workarounds +are available - but they are all verbose. Explicit template arguments +could be given to regex_replace(), allowing basic_string's implicit +constructor to be invoked - but charT is the last template argument, not +the first, so this would be extremely verbose. Therefore, constructing +a basic_string from each C string is the simplest workaround.

      +
    4. + +
    5. +There is an efficiency consideration: constructing basic_strings can +impose performance costs that could be avoided by a library +implementation taking C strings and dealing with them directly. +(Currently, for replacement sources, C strings can be converted into +iterator pairs at the cost of verbosity, but for format strings, there +is no way to avoid constructing a basic_string.) +

    -Paragraph 21.4 [basic.string]/3 states: -

    -The class template basic_string conforms to the requirements for a -Sequence (23.1.1) and for a Reversible Container (23.1). +One relevant part of the proposed resolution below suggests +to add a new overload of the format member function in the +match_results class template that accepts two character pointers +defining the begin and end of a format range. A more general +approach could have proposed a pair of iterators instead, but +the used pair of char pointers reflects existing practice. If the +committee strongly favors an iterator-based signature, this +could be simply changed. I think that the minimum requirement +should be a BidirectionalIterator, but current implementations +take advantage (at least partially) of the RandomAccessIterator +sub interface of the char pointers.

    -
    -

    -First of all, 23.2.3 [sequence.reqmts] is no longer "Sequence" but "Sequence container". -Secondly, after the resent changes to containers (emplace, push_back, -const_iterator parameters to insert and erase), basic_string is not -even close to conform to the current requirements. -

    Discussion:

    -Two overloads of regex_replace() are currently provided: +It appears most containers declare but do not define a member-swap +function.

    -    class traits, class charT> 
    -  OutputIterator 
    -  regex_replace(OutputIterator out,

    -                const basic_regex<charT, traits>& e, 
    -                const basic_string<charT>& fmt, 
    -                regex_constants::match_flag_type flags = 
    -                  regex_constants::match_default);
    - 
    -template <class traits, class charT> 
    -  basic_string<charT> 
    -  regex_replace(const basic_string<charT>& s, 
    -                const basic_regex<charT, traits>& e, 
    -                const basic_string<charT>& fmt, 
    -                regex_constants::match_flag_type flags = 
    -                  regex_constants::match_default);
    -
    - -
      -
    1. Overloads taking const charT * are provided for regex_match() and -regex_search(), but not regex_replace(). This is inconsistent.
    2. -
    3. -

      The absence of const charT * overloads prevents ordinary-looking code from compiling, such as:

      - -
      const string s("kitten");
      -const regex r("en");
      -cout << regex_replace(s, r, "y") << endl;
      -
      -

      -The compiler error message will be something like "could not deduce -template argument for 'const std::basic_string<_Elem> &' from 'const -char[1]'". +This is unfortunate, as all overload the swap algorithm to call the +member-swap function! +(required for swappable guarantees [Table 37] and Container Requirements +[Table 87])

      -Users expect that anything taking a basic_string<charT> can also take a -const charT *. In their own code, when they write a function taking -std::string (or std::wstring), they can pass a const char * (or const -wchar_t *), thanks to basic_string's implicit constructor. Because the -regex algorithms are templated on charT, they can't rely on -basic_string's implicit constructor (as the compiler error message -indicates, template argument deduction fails first). +Note in particular that Table 87 gives semantics of a.swap(b) as swap(a,b), +yet for all containers we define swap(a,b) to call a.swap(b) - a circular +definition.

      -If a user figures out what the compiler error message means, workarounds -are available - but they are all verbose. Explicit template arguments -could be given to regex_replace(), allowing basic_string's implicit -constructor to be invoked - but charT is the last template argument, not -the first, so this would be extremely verbose. Therefore, constructing -a basic_string from each C string is the simplest workaround. +A quick survey of clause 23 shows that the following containers provide a +definition for member-swap:

      -
    4. -
    5. -There is an efficiency consideration: constructing basic_strings can -impose performance costs that could be avoided by a library -implementation taking C strings and dealing with them directly. -(Currently, for replacement sources, C strings can be converted into -iterator pairs at the cost of verbosity, but for format strings, there -is no way to avoid constructing a basic_string.) -

    +This issue became closed, because the ReferentType requirement +fixed the problem - this is no longer the case. In retrospective it seems +to be that the root of current issues around std::identity (823, 700, +939) +is that it was standardized as something very different (an unconditional +type mapper) than traditional usage indicated (a function object that should +derive from std::unary_function), as the SGI definition does. This issue could +be solved, if std::identity is removed (one proposal of 939), but until this +has been decided, this issue should remain open. An alternative for +removing it, would be, to do the following: +

    3. -The cited paper is an earlier version of -N2844, -which changed the rvalue reference binding rules. -That paper includes generic templates -operator<< and operator>> -that adapt rvalue streams. +Invent (if needed) a generic type wrapper (corresponding to concept +IdentityOf), +e.g. identity_of, and move it's prototype description back to 20.3.2 [forward]:

    Rationale:

    +

    +The point here is to able to write T& given T and ReferentType is +precisely the concept that guarantees so, according to N2677 +(Foundational concepts). Because of this, it seems preferable than an +explicit check for cv void using SameType/remove_cv as it was suggested +in Sophia. In particular, Daniel remarked that there may be types other +than cv void which aren't referent types (int[], perhaps?).

    Discussion:

    -Splice is a very useful feature of list. This functionality is also very -useful for any other node based container, and I frequently wish it were -available for maps and sets. It seems like an omission that these -containers lack this capability. Although the complexity for a splice is -the same as for an insert, the actual time can be much less since the -objects need not be reallocated and copied. When the element objects are -heavy and the compare operations are fast (say a map<int, huge_thingy>) -this can be a big win. -

    - -

    -Suggested resolution: -

    - -

    -Add the following signatures to map, set, multimap, multiset, and the unordered associative containers: -

    -
     
    -void splice(list<T,Allocator>&& x);
    -void splice(list<T,Allocator>&& x, const_iterator i);
    -void splice(list<T,Allocator>&& x, const_iterator first, const_iterator last);
    -
    - -

    -Hint versions of these are also useful to the extent hint is useful. -(I'm looking for guidance about whether hints are in fact useful.) -

    - -
     
    -void splice(const_iterator position, list<T,Allocator>&& x);
    -void splice(const_iterator position, list<T,Allocator>&& x, const_iterator i);

        Discussion:

        -

        -Table 89, Container requirements, defines operator== in terms of the container -member function size() and the algorithm std::equal: -

        - -
        -== is an equivalence relation. a.size() == b.size() && -equal(a.begin(), a.end(), b.begin() -
        - -

        -The new container forward_list does not provide a size member function -by design but does provide operator== and operator!= without specifying it's semantic. -

        -

        -Other parts of the (sequence) container requirements do also depend on -size(), e.g. empty() -or clear(), but this issue explicitly attempts to solve the missing -EqualityComparable specification, -because of the special design choices of forward_list. -

        -

        -I propose to apply one of the following resolutions, which are described as: -

        - -
          -
        1. -Provide a definition, which is optimal for this special container without -previous size test. This choice prevents two O(N) calls of std::distance() -with the corresponding container ranges and instead uses a special -equals implementation which takes two container ranges instead of 1 1/2. -
        2. -
        3. -The simple fix where the usual test is adapted such that size() is replaced -by distance with corresponding performance disadvantages. -
        4. -

        -The term "default constructed" is often used in wording that predates -the introduction of the concept of value-initialization. In a few such -places the concept of value-initialization is more correct than the -current wording (for example when the type involved can be a built-in) -so a replacement is in order. Two of such places are already covered by -issue 867.

        -

        - Neither the term "signed integral type" nor the term "unsigned - integral type" is defined in the core language section of the - standard, therefore the library section should avoid its use. The - terms signed integer type and unsigned integer type are - indeed defined (in 3.9.1 [basic.fundamental]), thus the usages should be - replaced accordingly. -

        - -

        - Note that the key issue here is that "signed" + "integral type" != - "signed integral type". - - The types bool, char, char16_t, - char32_t and wchar_t are all listed as - integral types, but are neither of signed integer type or - unsigned integer type. According to 3.9 [basic.types] p7, a synonym for - integral type is integer type. - - Given this, one may choose to assume that an integral type that - can represent values less than zero is a signed integral type. - Unfortunately this can cause ambiguities. - - As an example, if T is unsigned char, the - expression make_signed<T>::type, is supposed to - name a signed integral type. There are potentially two types that - satisfy this requirement, namely signed char and - char (assuming CHAR_MIN < 0). -

All input iterators - i support the expression *i, resulting in a - value of some class, enumeration, or built-in type T, - called the value type of the iterator. All output iterators - support the expression *i = o where o is a - value of some type that is in the set of types that are - writable to the particular iterator type of i. All - iterators i for which the expression (*i).m - is well-defined, support the expression i->m with the - same semantics as (*i).m. For every iterator type - X for which equality is defined, there is a corresponding - signed integral type signed integer type called - the difference type of the iterator. -

        -

        -During the Sophia Antipolis meeting it was decided to split-off some -parts of the -n2647 -("Concurrency modifications for basic_string") -proposal into a separate issue, because these weren't actually -concurrency-related. The here proposed changes refer to the recent -update document -n2668 -and attempt to take advantage of the -stricter structural requirements. -

        -

        -Indeed there exists some leeway for more guarantees that would be -very useful for programmers, especially if interaction with transactionary -or exception-unaware C API code is important. This would also allow -compilers to take advantage of more performance optimizations, because -more functions can have throw() specifications. This proposal uses the -form of "Throws: Nothing" clauses to reach the same effect, because -there already exists a different issue in progress to clean-up the current -existing "schizophrenia" of the standard in this regard. -

        -

        -Due to earlier support for copy-on-write, we find the following -unnecessary limitations for C++0x: -

        - -
          -
        1. -Missing no-throw guarantees: data() and c_str() simply return -a pointer to their guts, which is a non-failure operation. This should -be spelled out. It is also noteworthy to mention that the same -guarantees should also be given by the size query functions, -because the combination of pointer to content and the length is -typically needed during interaction with low-level API. -
        2. -
        3. -Missing complexity guarantees: data() and c_str() simply return -a pointer to their guts, which is guaranteed O(1). This should be -spelled out. -
        4. -
        5. -Missing reading access to the terminating character: Only the -const overload of operator[] allows reading access to the terminator -char. For more intuitive usage of strings, reading access to this -position should be extended to the non-const case. In contrast -to C++03 this reading access should now be homogeneously -an lvalue access. -
        6. -
        - -

        -The proposed resolution is split into a main part (A) and a -secondary part (B) (earlier called "Adjunct Adjunct Proposal"). -(B) extends (A) by also making access to index position -size() of the at() overloads a no-throw operation. This was -separated, because this part is theoretically observable in -specifically designed test programs. -

        Discussion:

        -

        - -Recent changes to -the working -draft have introduced a gratuitous inconsistency with the C++ 2003 -version of the specification with respect to exception guarantees -provided by standard functions. While the C++ 2003 standard -consistenly uses the empty exception specification, throw(), -to declare functions that are guaranteed not to throw exceptions, the -current working draft contains a number of "Throws: Nothing." -clause to specify essentially the same requirement. The difference -between the two approaches is that the former specifies the behavior -of programs that violate the requirement (std::unexpected() -is called) while the latter leaves the behavior undefined. - -

        -

        - -A survey of the working draft reveals that there are a total of 209 -occurrences of throw() in the library portion of the spec, -the majority in clause 18, a couple (literally) in 19, a handful in -20, a bunch in 22, four in 24, one in 27, and about a dozen in D.9. - -

        -

        - -There are also 203 occurrences of "Throws: Nothing." scattered -throughout the spec. - -

        -

        - -While sometimes there are good reasons to use the "Throws: -Nothing." approach rather than making use of throw(), these -reasons do not apply in most of the cases where this new clause has -been introduced and the empty exception specification would be a -better approach. - -

        -

        - -First, functions declared with the empty exception specification -permit compilers to generate better code for calls to such -functions. In some cases, the compiler might even be able to eliminate -whole chunks of user-written code when instantiating a generic -template on a type whose operations invoked from the template -specialization are known not to throw. The prototypical example are -the std::uninitialized_copy() -and std::uninitialized_fill() algorithms where the -entire catch(...) block can be optimized away. - -

        -

        - -For example, given the following definition of -the std::uninitialized_copy function template and a -user-defined type SomeType: - -

        -
        -
        template <class InputIterator, class ForwardIterator>
        -ForwardIterator
        -uninitialized_copy (InputIterator first, InputIterator last, ForwardIterator res)
        -{
        -   typedef iterator_traits<ForwardIterator>::value_type ValueType;
        -
        -   ForwardIterator start = res;
        -
        -   try {
        -       for (; first != last; ++first, ++res)
        -           ::new (&*res) ValueType (*first);
        -   }
        -   catch (...) {
        -       for (; start != res; --start)
        -           (&*start)->~ValueType ();
        -       throw;
        -   }
        -   return res;
        -}
        -
        -struct SomeType {
        -   SomeType (const SomeType&) throw ();
        -}
        -
        -

        - -compilers are able to emit the following efficient specialization -of std::uninitialized_copy<const SomeType*, SomeType*> -(note that the catch block has been optimized away): - -

        -
        -
        template <> SomeType*
        -uninitialized_copy (const SomeType *first, const SomeType *last, SomeType *res)
        -{
        -   for (; first != last; ++first, ++res)
        -       ::new (res) SomeType (*first);
        -
        -   return res;
        -}
        -
        -

        - -Another general example is default constructors which, when decorated -with throw(), allow the compiler to eliminate the -implicit try and catch blocks that it otherwise must -emit around each the invocation of the constructor -in new-expressions. - -

        -

        - -For example, given the following definitions of -class MayThrow and WontThrow and the two -statements below: - -

        -
        -
        struct MayThrow {
        -   MayThrow ();
        -};
        -
        -struct WontThrow {
        -   WontThrow () throw ();
        -};
        -
        -MayThrow  *a = new MayThrow [N];
        -WontThrow *b = new WontThrow [N];
        - -
        -

        - -the compiler generates the following code for the first statement: - -

        -
        -
        MayThrow *a;
        -{
        -   MayThrow *first = operator new[] (N * sizeof (*a));
        -   MayThrow *last  = first + N;
        -   MayThrow *next  = first;
        -   try {
        -       for ( ; next != last; ++next)
        -           new (next) MayThrow;
        -   }
        -   catch (...) {
        -       for ( ; first != first; --next)
        -           next->~MayThrow ();
        -       operator delete[] (first);
        -       throw;
        -   }
        -   a = first;
        -}
        -
        -

        - -but it is can generate much more compact code for the second statement: - -

        -
        -
        WontThrow *b    = operator new[] (N * sizeof (*b));
        -WontThrow *last = b + N;
        -for (WontThrow *next = b; next != last; ++next)
        -   new (next) WontThrow;
        -
        -
        -

        - -Second, in order for users to get the maximum benefit out of the new -std::has_nothrow_xxx traits when using standard library types -it will be important for implementations to decorate all non throwing -copy constructors and assignment operators with throw(). Note -that while an optimizer may be able to tell whether a function without -an explicit exception specification can throw or not based on its -definition, it can only do so when it can see the source code of the -definition. When it can't it must assume that the function may -throw. To prevent violating the One Definition Rule, -the std::has_nothrow_xxx trait must return the most -pessimistic guess across all translation units in the program, meaning -that std::has_nothrow_xxx<T>::value must evaluate to -false for any T whose xxx -(where xxx is default or copy ctor, or assignment operator) -is defined out-of-line. - -

        -

        - -Counterarguments: - -

        -

        - -During the discussion of this issue -on c++std-lib@accu.org -(starting with post c++std-lib-21950) the following arguments -in favor of the "Throws: Nothing." style have been made. - -

        -

        -

          -
        1. - -Decorating functions that cannot throw with the empty exception -specification can cause the compiler to generate suboptimal code for -the implementation of the function when it calls other functions that -aren't known to the compiler not to throw (i.e., that aren't decorated -with throw() even if they don't actually throw). This is a -common situation when the called function is a C or POSIX function. - -
        2. -
        3. - -Alternate, proprietary mechanisms exist (such as -GCC __attribute__((nothrow)) -or Visual -C++ __declspec(nothrow)) -that let implementers mark up non-throwing functions, often without -the penalty mentioned in (1) above. The C++ standard shouldn't -preclude the use of these potentially more efficient mechanisms. - -
        4. -
        5. - -There are functions, especially function templates, that invoke -user-defined functions that may or may not be -declared throw(). Declaring such functions with the empty -exception specification will cause compilers to generate suboptimal -code when the user-defined function isn't also declared not to throw. - -
        6. -
        - -

        - -The answer to point (1) above is that implementers can (and some have) -declare functions with throw() to indicate to the compiler -that calls to the function can safely be assumed not to throw in order -to allow it to generate efficient code at the call site without also -having to define the functions the same way and causing the compiler -to generate suboptimal code for the function definition. That is, the -function is declared with throw() in a header but it's -defined without it in the source file. The throw() -declaration is suppressed when compiling the definition to avoid -compiler errors. This technique, while strictly speaking no permitted -by the language, is safe and has been employed in practice. For -example, the GNU C library takes this approach. Microsoft Visual C++ -takes a similar approach by simply assuming that no function with C -language linkage can throw an exception unless it's explicitly -declared to do so using the language extension throw(...). - -

        -

        - -Our answer to point (2) above is that there is no existing practice -where C++ Standard Library implementers have opted to make use of the -proprietary mechanisms to declare functions that don't throw. The -language provides a mechanism specifically designed for this -purpose. Avoiding its use in the specification itself in favor of -proprietary mechanisms defeats the purpose of the feature. In -addition, making use of the empty exception specification -inconsistently, in some areas of the standard, while conspicuously -avoiding it and making use of the "Throws: Nothing." form in -others is confusing to users. - -

        -

        - -The answer to point (3) is simply to exercise caution when declaring -functions and especially function templates with the empty exception -specification. Functions that required not to throw but that may call -back into user code are poor candidates for the empty exception -specification and should instead be specified using "Throws: -Nothing." clause. - -

        - -

        Proposed resolution:

        -

        - -We propose two possible solutions. Our recommendation is to adopt -Option 1 below. - -

        -

        - -Option 1: - -

        -

        - -Except for functions or function templates that make calls back to -user-defined functions that may not be declared throw() -replace all occurrences of the "Throws: Nothing." clause with -the empty exception specification. Functions that are required not to -throw but that make calls back to user code should be specified to -"Throw: Nothing." - -

        -

        - -Option 2: - -

        -

        - -For consistency, replace all occurrences of the empty exception -specification with a "Throws: Nothing." clause. - -

        -The Posix/C++ working group has identified an inconsistency between -Posix and the C++ working draft in that Posix requires the clock to be -identified at creation, whereas C++ permits identifying the clock at the -call to wait. The latter cannot be implemented with the former. -

        - -

        [ -San Francisco: -]

        - - -
        -

        -Howard recommends NAD with the following explanation: -

        - -

        -The intent of the current wording is for the condtion_variable::wait_until -be able to handle user-defined clocks as well as clocks the system knows about. -This can be done by providing overloads for the known clocks, and another -overload for unknown clocks which synchs to a known clock before waiting. -For example: -

        - -
        template <class Duration>
        -bool
        -condition_variable::wait_until(unique_lock<mutex>& lock,
        -                               const chrono::time_point<chrono::system_clock, Duration>& abs_time)
        -{
        -    using namespace chrono;
        -    nanoseconds d = __round_up<nanoseconds>(abs_time.time_since_epoch());
        -    __do_timed_wait(lock.mutex()->native_handle(), time_point<system_clock, nanoseconds>(d));
        -    return system_clock::now() < abs_time;
        -}
        -
        -template <class Clock, class Duration>
        -bool
        -condition_variable::wait_until(unique_lock<mutex>& lock,
        -                               const chrono::time_point<Clock, Duration>& abs_time)
        -{
        -    using namespace chrono;
        -    typename Clock::time_point  c_entry = Clock::now();
        -    system_clock::time_point    s_entry = system_clock::now();
        -    nanoseconds dn = __round_up<nanoseconds>(abs_time.time_since_epoch() -
        -                                              c_entry.time_since_epoch());
        -    __do_timed_wait(lock.mutex()->native_handle(), s_entry + dn);
        -    return Clock::now() < abs_time;
        -}
        -
        - -

        -In the above example, system_clock is the only clock which the underlying -condition variable knows how to deal with. One overload just passes that clock -through. The second overload (approximately) converts the unknown clock into -a system_clock time_point prior to passing it down to the native -condition variable. -

        - -

        -On Posix systems vendors are free to add implementation defined constructors which -take a clock. That clock can be stored in the condition_variable, and converted -to (or not as necessary) as shown above. -

        - -

        -If an implementation defined constructor takes a clock (for example), then part -of the semantics for that implementation defined ctor might include that a -wait_until using a clock other than the one constructed with results -in an error (exceptional condition) instead of a conversion to the stored clock. -Such a design is up to the vendor as once an implementation defined ctor is used, -the vendor is free to specifiy the behavior of waits and/or notifies however -he pleases (when the cv is constructed in an implementation defined manner). -

        -This formulation has several problems: -

        - -
          -
        • -Implementation details are exposed, since initialization is specified in -the interface. This over-constrains implementations without offsetting -user benefits. The form of initialization specified may be less than -maximally efficient on some platforms. -
        • -
        • -Use of the objects is more expensive in terms of number of machine level -instructions. See Implementation experience below. -
        • -
        • -Depending on the compiler, some cost may be incurred by each translation unit -that includes the header, even if the objects are not used. This is a -common scenario in user code, since the header is included by other -standard library headers. It should be mentioned that at least one -compilers is able to optimize this cost away, however. -

        -IO streams uses a somewhat different formulation for iostream_category, but -still suffer much the same problems. -

        -The original plan was to eliminate these problems by applying the C++0x -constexpr feature. See LWG issue 832. However, that approach turned out -to be unimplementable, since it would require a constexpr object of a -class with virtual functions, and that is not allowed by the core -language. -

        - -

        -The proposed resolution was developed as an alternative. It mitigates the above -problems by removing initialization from the visible interface, allowing -implementations flexibility. -

        -Implementation experience: -

        - -

        -Prototype implementations of the current WP interface and proposed -resolution interface were tested with recent Codegear, GCC, Intel, and Microsoft -compilers on Windows. The code generated by the Microsoft compiler was studied -at length; the WP and proposal versions generated very similar code. For both versions -the compiler did make use of static -initialization; apparently the compiler applied an implicit constexpr -where useful, even in cases where constexpr would not be permitted by -the language! -

        Discussion:

        -

        -I notice that the vararg overloads of std::thread and std::call_once -(N2723 30.3.1.2 [thread.thread.constr] and 30.4.5.2 [thread.once.callonce]) are no longer specified in terms of -std::bind; instead, some of the std::bind wording has been inlined into -the specification. -

        -

        -There are two problems with this. -

        -

        -First, the specification (and implementation) in terms of std::bind allows, for example: -

        - -
        std::thread th( f, 1, std::bind( g ) );
        -
        - -

        -which executes f( 1, g() ) in a thread. This can be useful. The -"inlined" formulation changes it to execute f( 1, bind(g) ) in a thread. -

        -

        -Second, assuming that we don't want the above, the specification has copied the wording -

        - -
        -INVOKE(func, w1, w2, ..., wN) (20.6.2) shall be a valid -expression for some values w1, w2, ..., wN -
        - -

        -but this is not needed since we know that our argument list is args; it should simply be -

        Discussion:

        -

        -30.4.1.1 [thread.mutex.class]/27 (in -N2723) -says that the behavior is undefined if: -

        -
          -
        • a thread that owns a mutex object calls lock() or -try_lock() on that object
        • -
        -

        -I don't believe that this is right. Calling lock() or try_lock() on a -locked mutex is well defined in the general case. try_lock() is required -to fail and return false. lock() is required to either throw an -exception (and is allowed to do so if it detects deadlock) or to block -until the mutex is free. These general requirements apply regardless of -the current owner of the mutex; they should apply even if it's owned by -the current thread. -

        -

        -Making double lock() undefined behavior probably can be justified (even -though I'd still disagree with the justification), but try_lock() on a -locked mutex must fail. -

        Discussion:

        -

        -It is unclear whether shared_ptr is thread-safe in the sense that -multiple threads may simultaneously copy a shared_ptr. However this -is a critical piece of information for the client, and it has significant -impact on usability for many applications. (Detlef Vollman thinks it -is currently clear that it is not thread-safe. Hans Boehm thinks -it currently requires thread safety, since the use_count is not an -explicit field, and constructors and assignment take a const reference -to an existing shared_ptr.) -

        - -

        -Pro thread-safety: -

        -

        -Many multi-threaded usages are impossible. A thread-safe version can -be used to destroy an object when the last thread drops it, something -that is often required, and for which we have no other easy mechanism. -

        -

        -Against thread-safety: -

        -

        -The thread-safe version is well-known to be far more expensive, even -if used by a single thread. Many applications, including all single-threaded -ones, do not care. -

        -Beman: this is a complicated issue, and would like to move this to Open -and await comment from Peter Dimov; we need very careful and complete -rationale for any decision we make; let's go slow -

        -

        -Detlef: I think that shared_ptr should not be thread-safe. -

        -

        -Hans: When you create a thread with a lambda, it in some cases makes it -very difficult for the lambda to reference anything in the heap. It's -currently ambiguous as to whether you can use a shared_ptr to get at an -object. -

        -

        -Leave in Open. Detlef will submit an alternative proposed resolution -that makes shared_ptr explicitly unsafe. -

        -

        -A third option is to support both threadsafe and non-safe share_ptrs, -and to let the programmer decide which behavior they want. -

        -This issue was split off from 892 at the request of the LWG. -

        - -

        [ -San Francisco: -]

        - - -
        -

        -This issue is more complicated than it looks. -

        -

        -paragraph 47: replace each (first, last) with (first, last] -

        -

        -add a statement after paragraph 48 that complexity is O(1) -

        -

        -remove the complexity statement from the first overload of splice_after -

        -

        -We may have the same problems with other modifiers, like erase_after. -Should it require that all iterators in the range (position, last] be -dereferenceable? -

        -
        - -

        -There are actually 3 issues here: -

        - -
          -
        1. -

          -What value should erase_after return? With list, code often -looks like: -

          -
          for (auto i = l.begin(); i != l.end();)
          -{
          -    // inspect *i and decide if you want to erase it
          -    // ...
          -    if (I want to erase *i)
          -        i = l.erase(i);
          -    else
          -        ++i;
          -}
          -
          -

          -I.e. the iterator returned from erase is useful for setting up the -logic for operating on the next element. For forward_list this might -look something like: -

          -
          auto i = fl.before_begin();
          -auto ip1 = i;
          -for (++ip1; ip1 != fl.end(); ++ip1)
          -{
          -    // inspect *(i+1) and decide if you want to erase it
          -    // ...
          -    if (I want to erase *(i+1))
          -        i = fl.erase_after(i);
          -    else
          -        ++i;
          -    ip1 = i;
          -}
          -
          -

          -In the above example code, it is convenient if erase_after returns -the element prior to the erased element (range) instead of the element -after the erase element (range). -

          -

          -Existing practice: -

          -
            -
          • SGI slist returns an iterator referencing the element after the erased range.
          • -
          • CodeWarrior slist returns an iterator referencing the element before the erased range.
          • -
          -

          -There is not a strong technical argument for either solution over the other. -

          -
        2. - -
        3. -

          -With all other containers, operations always work on the range -[first, last) and/or prior to the given position. -

          -

          -With forward_list, operations sometimes work on the range -(first, last] and/or after the given position. -

          -

          -This is simply due to the fact that in order to operate on -*first (with forward_list) one needs access to -*(first-1). And that's not practical with -forward_list. So the operating range needs to start with (first, -not [first (as the current working paper says). -

          -

          -Additionally, if one is interested in splicing the range (first, last), -then (with forward_list), one needs practical (constant time) access to -*(last-1) so that one can set the next field in this node to -the proper value. As this is not possible with forward_list, one must -specify the last element of interest instead of one past the last element of -interest. The syntax for doing this is to pass (first, last] instead -of (first, last). -

          -

          -With erase_after we have a choice of either erasing the range -(first, last] or (first, last). Choosing the latter -enables: -

          -
          x.erase_after(pos, x.end());
          -
          - -

          -With the former, the above statement is inconvenient or expensive due to the lack -of constant time access to x.end()-1. However we could introduce: -

          - -
          iterator erase_to_end(const_iterator position);
          -
          - -

          -to compensate. -

          - -

          -The advantage of the former ((first, last]) for erase_after -is a consistency with splice_after which uses (first, last] -as the specified range. But this either requires the addition of erase_to_end -or giving up such functionality. -

          - -
        4. - -
        5. -As stated in the discussion of 892, and reienforced by point 2 above, -a splice_after should work on the source range (first, last] -if the operation is to be Ο(1). When splicing an entire list x the -algorithm needs (x.before_begin(), x.end()-1]. Unfortunately x.end()-1 -is not available in constant time unless we specify that it must be. In order to -make x.end()-1 available in constant time, the implementation would have -to dedicate a pointer to it. I believe the design of -N2543 -intended a nominal overhead of foward_list of 1 pointer. Thus splicing -one entire forward_list into another can not be Ο(1). -

        -numeric_limits has functions specifically designed to return NaNs, which -break the model of Regular (via its axioms.) While floating point types -will be acceptible in many algorithms taking Regular values, it is not -appopriate for this specific API and we need a less refined constraint. -

        -The definition of numeric_limits<> as requiring a regular -type is both conceptually wrong and operationally illogical. As we -pointed before, this mistake needs to be corrected. For example, the -template can be left unconstrained. In fact this reflects a much more -general problem with concept_maps/axioms and their interpretations. It -appears that the current text heavily leans toward experimental academic -type theory. -

        -The currently proposed constraint on initializer_list's element type -E is that is has to meet ObjectType. This is an underspecification, -because both core language and library part of initializer_list -make clear, that it references an implicitly allocated array: -

        -

        -8.5.4 [dcl.init.list]/4: -

        -
        -When an initializer list is implicitly converted to a -std::initializer_list<E>, the object passed is constructed as if the -implementation allocated an array of N elements of type E, where -N is the number of elements in the initializer list.[..] -
        - -

        -18.9 [support.initlist]/2. -

        - -
        -An object of type initializer_list<E> provides access to an array of -objects of type const E.[..] -
        - -

        -Therefore, E needs to fulfill concept ValueType (thus excluding -abstract class types). This stricter requirement should be added -to prevent deep instantiation errors known from the bad old times, -as shown in the following example: -

        - -
        // Header A: (Should concept-check even in stand-alone modus)
        -
        -template <DefaultConstructible T>

        -  more_generate_3();

        -

        -The current standard 14882::2003(E) as well as the current draft -N2723 -have in common a contradiction of the operational semantics -of member function test 20.3.6.2 [bitset.members]/56-58 and the immutable -member operator[] overload 20.3.6.2 [bitset.members]/64-66 (all references -are defined in terms of -N2723): -

        - -

        -Three interpretations: -

        - -
          -
        1. -The operator[] overload is indeed allowed to throw an exception -(via test(), if pos corresponds to an invalid bit position) which does -not leave the call frame. In this case this function cannot be a -constexpr function, because test() is not, due to -5.19 [expr.const]/2, last bullet. -
        2. -
        3. -The intend was not to throw an exception in test in case of an -invalid bit position. There is only little evidence for this interpretation. -
        4. -
        5. -The intend was that operator[] should not throw any exception, -but that test has the contract to do so, if the provided bit position -is invalid. -
        6. -
        - -

        -The problem became worse, because issue 720 -recently voted into WP argued that member test logically must be -a constexpr function, because it was used to define the semantics -of another constexpr function (the operator[] overload). -

        908. Deleted assignment operators for atomic types must be volatile

        - -

        -The deleted copy-assignment operators for the atomic types are not -marked as volatile in N2723, whereas the assignment operators from the -associated non-atomic types are. e.g. -

        -
        atomic_bool& operator=(atomic_bool const&) = delete;
        -atomic_bool& operator=(bool) volatile;
        -

        -This leads to ambiguity when assigning a non-atomic value to a -non-volatile instance of an atomic type: -

        -
        atomic_bool b;
        -b=false;
        -
        - -

        -Both assignment operators require a standard conversions: the -copy-assignment operator can use the implicit atomic_bool(bool) -conversion constructor to convert false to an instance of -atomic_bool, or b can undergo a qualification conversion in order to -use the assignment from a plain bool. -

        -Construction of a regex_token_iterator (28.13.2 [re.tokiter]/6+) usually -requires the provision of a sequence of integer values, which -can currently be done via a std::vector<int> or -a C array of int. Since the introduction of initializer_list in the -standard it seems much more reasonable to provide a -corresponding constructor that accepts an initializer_list<int> -instead. This could be done as a pure addition or one could -even consider replacement.

        - -

        -The description of the effect of operator= in the MoveAssignable -concept, given in paragraph 7 is: -

        - -
        result_type  T::operator=(T&&  rv);  // inherited from HasAssign<T, T&&>
        -
        - -
        -Postconditions: the constructed T object is equivalent to the value of -rv before the assignment. [Note: there is no -requirement on the value of rv after the assignment. --end note] -
        -
        - -

        -The sentence contains a typo (what is the "constructed T object"?) -probably due to a cut&paste from MoveConstructible. Moreover, the -discussion of LWG issue 675 shows that the postcondition is too generic -and might not reflect the user expectations. An implementation of the -move assignment that just calls swap() would always fulfill the -postcondition as stated, but might have surprising side-effects in case -the source rvalue refers to an object that is not going to be -immediately destroyed. See LWG issue 900 for another example. Due to -the sometimes intangible nature of the "user expectation", it seems -difficult to have precise normative wording that could cover all cases -without introducing unnecessary restrictions. However a non-normative -clarification could be a very helpful warning sign that swapping is not -always the correct thing to do. -

        -Issue 910 is exactly the reason BSI advanced the Editorial comment UK-150. -

        -

        -The post-conditions after assignment are at a minimum that the object -referenced by rv must be safely destructible, and the transaction should not -leak resources. Ideally it should be possible to simply assign rv a new -valid state after the call without invoking undefined behaviour, but any -other use of the referenced object would depend upon additional guarantees -made by that type. -

        [ -2009-05-09 Howard adds: -]

        - - -
        -

        -The intent of the rvalue reference work is that the moved from rv is -a valid object. Not one in a singular state. If, for example, the moved from -object is a vector, one should be able to do anything on that moved-from -vector that you can do with any other vector. However you would -first have to query it to find out what its current state is. E.g. it might have capacity, -it might not. It might have a non-zero size, it might not. But regardless, -you can push_back on to it if you want. -

        - -

        -That being said, most standard code is now conceptized. That is, the concepts -list the only operations that can be done with templated types - whether or not -the values have been moved from. -

        - -

        -Here is user-written code which must be allowed to be legal: -

        -
        #include <vector>
        -#include <cstdio>
        -
        -template <class Allocator>

        -inspect(std::vector<double, Allocator>&& v)
        -{
        -    std::vector<double, Allocator> result(move(v));
        -    std::printf("moved from vector has %u size and %u capacity\n", v.size(), v.capacity());
        -    std::printf("The contents of the vector are:\n");
        -    typedef typename std::vector<double, Allocator>::iterator I;
        -    for (I i = v.begin(), e = v.end(); i != e; ++i)
        -        printf("%f\n", *i);

        -    std::vector<double> v1(100, 5.5);
        -    inspect(move(v1));
        -}
        -
        - -

        -The above program does not treat the moved-from vector as singular. It -only treats it as a vector with an unknown value. -

        -Class template basic_istream, basic_ostream and basic_iostream -implements public move constructors, move assignment operators and swap -method and free functions. This might induce both the user and the -compiler to think that those types are MoveConstructible, MoveAssignable -and Swappable. However, those class templates fail to fulfill the user -expectations. For example: -

        - -
        std::ostream os(std::ofstream("file.txt"));
        -assert(os.rdbuf() == 0); // buffer object is not moved to os, file.txt has been closed
        -
        -std::vector<std::ostream> v;
        -v.push_back(std::ofstream("file.txt"));
        -v.reserve(100); // causes reallocation
        -assert(v[0].rdbuf() == 0); // file.txt has been closed!
        -
        -std::ostream&& os1 = std::ofstream("file1.txt");
        -os1 = std::ofstream("file2.txt");
        -os1 << "hello, world"; // still writes to file1.txt, not to file2.txt!
        -
        -std::ostream&& os1 = std::ofstream("file1.txt");
        -std::ostream&& os2 = std::ofstream("file2.txt");
        -std::swap(os1, os2);
        -os1 << "hello, world"; // writes to file1.txt, not to file2.txt!
        -
        - -

        -This is because the move constructor, the move assignment operator and -swap are all implemented through calls to std::basic_ios member -functions move() and swap() that do not move nor swap the controlled -stream buffers. That can't happen because the stream buffers may have -different types. -

        - -

        -N2770 (and thus now the WP) removed the -non-template move-assignment operator from tuple's class definition, -but the latter individual member description does still provide this -operator. Is this (a) an oversight and can it (b) be solved as part of an -editorial process? -

        Discussion:

        -Right now, C++0x doesn't have atomic<float>. We're thinking of adding -the words to support it for TR2 (note: that would be slightly -post-C++0x). If we need it, we could probably add the words. +Table 89, Container requirements, defines operator== in terms of the container +member function size() and the algorithm std::equal:

        + +
        +== is an equivalence relation. a.size() == b.size() && +equal(a.begin(), a.end(), b.begin() +
        +

        -Proposed resolutions: Using atomic<FP>::compare_exchange (weak or -strong) should be either: +The new container forward_list does not provide a size member function +by design but does provide operator== and operator!= without specifying it's semantic. +

        +

        +Other parts of the (sequence) container requirements do also depend on +size(), e.g. empty() +or clear(), but this issue explicitly attempts to solve the missing +EqualityComparable specification, +because of the special design choices of forward_list. +

        +

        +I propose to apply one of the following resolutions, which are described as:

        -
          +
          1. -ill-formed, or +Provide a definition, which is optimal for this special container without +previous size test. This choice prevents two O(N) calls of std::distance() +with the corresponding container ranges and instead uses a special +equals implementation which takes two container ranges instead of 1 1/2.
          2. -well-defined. +The simple fix where the usual test is adapted such that size() is replaced +by distance with corresponding performance disadvantages.
          -

          -I propose Option 1 for C++0x for expediency. If someone wants to argue -for Option 2, they need to say what exactly they want compare_exchange -to mean in this case (IIRC, C++0x doesn't even assume IEEE 754). +Both proposal choices are discussed, the preferred choice of the author is +to apply (A).

        -There was an interesting issue raised over on comp.programming.threads -today regarding the following example +In regard to library defect 488 I found some more algorithms which +unnecessarily throw away information. These are typically algorithms, +which sequentially write into an OutputIterator, but do not return the +final value of this output iterator. These cases are:

        -
        // Thread 1:
        -x.store(1, memory_order_relaxed);           // SX
        -atomic_thread_fence(memory_order_seq_cst);  // F1
        -y.store(1, memory_order_relaxed);           // SY1
        -atomic_thread_fence(memory_order_seq_cst);  // F2
        -r1 = y.load(memory_order_relaxed);          // RY
        -
        -// Thread 2:
        -y.store(0, memory_order_relaxed);          // SY2
        -atomic_thread_fence(memory_order_seq_cst); // F3
        -r2 = x.load(memory_order_relaxed);         // RX

        4. +

        -is the outcome r1 == 0 and r2 == 0 possible? -

        -

        -I think the intent is that this is not possible, but I am not sure the -wording guarantees that. Here is my analysis: -

        -

        -Since all the fences are SC, there must be a total order between them. -F1 must be before F2 in that order since they are in -the same thread. Therefore F3 is either before F1, -between F1 and F2 or after F2. -

        -

        -If F3 is after F2, then we can apply 29.3 [atomics.order]p5 from -N2798: +In both cases the minimum requirements on the iterator are +OutputIterator, which means according to the requirements of +24.2.3 [output.iterators]/2 that only single-pass iterations are guaranteed. +So, if users of fill_n and generate_n have *only* an OutputIterator +available, they have no chance to continue pushing further values +into it, which seems to be a severe limitation to me.

        -
        -For atomic operations A and B on an atomic object -M, where A modifies M and B takes -its value, if there are memory_order_seq_cst fences X -and Y such that A is sequenced before X, -Y is sequenced before B, and X precedes -Y in S, then B observes either the effects of -A or a later modification of M in its modification -order. -

        + +

        [ +Batavia (2009-05): +]

        + +

        -In this case, A is SX, B is RX, the -fence X is F2 and the fence Y is F3, -so RX must see 1. -

        -

        -If F3 is before F2, this doesn't apply, but -F3 can therefore be before or after F1. -

        -

        -If F3 is after F1, the same logic applies, but this -time the fence X is F1. Therefore again, RX -must see 1. -

        -

        -Finally we have the case that F3 is before F1 -in the SC ordering. There are now no guarantees about RX, and -RX can see r2==0. -

        -

        -We can apply 29.3 [atomics.order]p5 again. This time, -A is SY2, B is RY, X is -F3 and Y is F1. Thus RY must observe -the effects of SY2 or a later modification of y in its -modification order. +Alisdair likes the idea, but has concerns about the specific wording +about the returns clauses.

        -Since SY1 is sequenced before RY, RY must -observe the effects of SY1 or a later modification of -y in its modification order. +Alan notes this is a feature request.

        -In order to ensure that RY sees (r1==1), we must see -that SY1 is later in the modification order of y than -SY2. +Bill notes we have made similar changes to other algorithms.

        -We're now skating on thin ice. Conceptually, SY2 happens-before -F3, F3 is SC-ordered before F1, F1 -happens-before SY1, so SY1 is later in the -modification order M of y, and RY must see -the result of SY1 (r1==1). However, I don't think the -words are clear on that. +Move to Open.

        -In my (Hans') view, our definition of fences will always be weaker than -what particular hardware will guarantee.

      -20.8.2.2 [allocator.concepts] contains a reference to a concept named -Dereferenceable. No such concept exists. +The term "default constructed" is often used in wording that predates +the introduction of the concept of value-initialization. In a few such +places the concept of value-initialization is more correct than the +current wording (for example when the type involved can be a built-in) +so a replacement is in order.

      -The thread constructor for starting a new thread with a function and -arguments is overly constrained by the signature requiring rvalue -references for func and args and the CopyConstructible requirements -for the elements of args. The use of an rvalue reference for the -function restricts the potential use of a plain function name, since -the type of the bound parameter will be deduced to be a function -reference and decay to pointer-to-function will not happen. This -therefore complicates the implementation in order to handle a simple -case. Furthermore, the use of rvalue references for args prevents the -array to pointer decay. Since arrays are not CopyConstructible or even -MoveConstructible, this essentially prevents the passing of arrays as -parameters. In particular it prevents the passing of string literals. -Consequently a simple case such as +Good ol' associative containers allow both function pointers and +function objects as feasible +comparators, as described in 23.2.4 [associative.reqmts]/2:

      +
      +Each associative container is parameterized on Key and an ordering +relation Compare that +induces a strict weak ordering (25.3) on elements of Key. [..]. The +object of type Compare is +called the comparison object of a container. This comparison object +may be a pointer to +function or an object of a type with an appropriate function call operator.[..] +

      -is ill-formed since the type of the string literal is const char[6]. +The corresponding wording for unordered containers is not so clear, +but I read it to disallow +function pointers for the hasher and I miss a clear statement for the +equality predicate, see +23.2.5 [unord.req]/3+4+5:

      +

      -By changing the signature to take all parameters by value we can -eliminate the CopyConstructible requirement and permit the use of -arrays, as the parameter passing semantics will cause the necessary -array-to-pointer decay. They will also cause the function name to -decay to a pointer to function and allow the implementation to handle -functions and function objects identically. +Each unordered associative container is parameterized by Key, by a +function object Hash that +acts as a hash function for values of type Key, and by a binary +predicate Pred that induces an +equivalence relation on values of type Key.[..] +

      +

      +A hash function is a function object that takes a single argument of +type Key and returns a +value of type std::size_t. +

      +

      +Two values k1 and k2 of type Key are considered equal if the +container's equality function object +returns true when passed those values.[..]

      +

      -The new signature of the thread constructor for a function and -arguments is thus: +and table 97 says in the column "assertion...post-condition" for the +expression X::hasher:

      -
      template<typename F,typename... Args>
      -thread(F,Args... args);
      -
      +
      +Hash shall be a unary function object type such that the expression +hf(k) has type std::size_t. +

      -Since the parameter pack Args can be empty, the single-parameter -constructor that takes just a function by value is now redundant. +Note that 20.7 [function.objects]/1 defines as "Function objects are +objects with an operator() defined.[..]" +

      Discussion:

      -A user might be tempted to use std::array::elems instead, but -doing so isn't recommended, because std::array::elems is "for -exposition only". Note that Boost.Array users might already use -boost::array::elems, as its documentation doesn't explicitly -state that boost::array::elems is for exposition only: -http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/doc/html/boost/array.html +During the Sophia Antipolis meeting it was decided to split-off some +parts of the +n2647 +("Concurrency modifications for basic_string") +proposal into a separate issue, because these weren't actually +concurrency-related. The here proposed changes refer to the recent +update document +n2668 +and attempt to take advantage of the +stricter structural requirements.

      -I can think of three options to solve this issue: +Indeed there exists some leeway for more guarantees that would be +very useful for programmers, especially if interaction with transactionary +or exception-unaware C API code is important. This would also allow +compilers to take advantage of more performance optimizations, because +more functions can have throw() specifications. This proposal uses the +form of "Throws: Nothing" clauses to reach the same effect, because +there already exists a different issue in progress to clean-up the current +existing "schizophrenia" of the standard in this regard.

      -
      1. -Remove the words "exposition only" from the definition of -std::array::elems, as well as the note saying that "elems is -shown for exposition only." -
      2. -Change the signature of std::array::data(), so that it would -return a reference to the built-in array, instead of a pointer to its -first element. -
      3. -Add extra member functions, returning a reference to the built-in array. -

      -Lawrence Crowl wrote me that it might be better to leave -std::array::elems "for exposition only", to allow alternate -representations to allocate the array data dynamically. This might be -of interest to the embedded community, having to deal with very limited -stack sizes. +Due to earlier support for copy-on-write, we find the following +unnecessary limitations for C++0x:

      + +
        +
      1. +Missing no-throw guarantees: data() and c_str() simply return +a pointer to their guts, which is a non-failure operation. This should +be spelled out. It is also noteworthy to mention that the same +guarantees should also be given by the size query functions, +because the combination of pointer to content and the length is +typically needed during interaction with low-level API. +
      2. +
      3. +Missing complexity guarantees: data() and c_str() simply return +a pointer to their guts, which is guaranteed O(1). This should be +spelled out. +
      4. +
      5. +Missing reading access to the terminating character: Only the +const overload of operator[] allows reading access to the terminator +char. For more intuitive usage of strings, reading access to this +position should be extended to the non-const case. In contrast +to C++03 this reading access should now be homogeneously +an lvalue access. +
      6. +
      +

      -The second option, changing the return type of -std::array::data(), would break backward compatible to current -Boost and TR1 implementations, as well as to the other contiguous -container (vector and string) in a very subtle way. -For example, the following call to std::swap currently swap two -locally declared pointers (data1, data2), for any container -type T that has a data() member function. When -std::array::data() is changed to return a reference, the -std::swap call may swap the container elements instead. +The proposed resolution is split into a main part (A) and a +secondary part (B) (earlier called "Adjunct Adjunct Proposal"). +(B) extends (A) by also making access to index position +size() of the at() overloads a no-throw operation. This was +separated, because this part is theoretically observable in +specifically designed test programs.

      -
       template <typename T>
      - void func(T& container1, T& container2)
      - {
      -   // Are data1 and data2 pointers or references?
      -   auto data1 = container1.data();
      -   auto data2 = container2.data();
      +

      [ +San Francisco: +]

      - // Will this swap two local pointers, or all container elements? - std::swap(data1, data2); - } -
      +

      -The following concept is currently satisfied by all contiguous -containers, but it no longer is for std::array, when -array::data() -is changed to return a reference (tested on ConceptGCC Alpha 7): +We oppose part 1 of the issue but hope to address size() in +issue 877.

      - -
       auto concept ContiguousContainerConcept<typename T>
      - {
      -   typename value_type = typename T::value_type;
      -   const value_type * T::data() const;
      - }
      -
      -

      -Still it's worth considering having std::array::data() return a -reference, because it might be the most intuitive option, from a user's -point of view. Nicolai Josuttis (who wrote boost::array) -mailed me that he very much prefers this option. +We do not support part B. 4 of the issue because of the breaking API change.

      -Note that for this option, the definition of data() would also -need to be revised for zero-sized arrays, as its return type cannot be a -reference to a zero-sized built-in array. Regarding zero-sized array, -data() could throw an exception. Or there could be a partial -specialization of std::array where data() returns -T* or gets removed. +We support part A. 2 of the issue.

      -Personally I prefer the third option, adding a new member function to -std::array, overloaded for const and non-const access, -returning a reference to the built-in array, to avoid those compatible -issues. I'd propose naming the function std::array::c_array(), -which sounds intuitive to me. Note that boost::array already -has a c_array() member, returning a pointer, but Nicolai told -me that this one is only there for historical reasons. (Otherwise a name -like std::array::native_array() or -std::array::builtin_array() would also be fine with me.) -According to my proposed resolution, a zero-sized std::array does not need -to have c_array(), while it is still required to have -data() functions. +On support part A. 3 of the issue:

      -The semantics specified by Clock requirements 20.9.1 [time.clock.req] -make no mention of error handling. Thus the function may throw bad_alloc -or an implementation-defined exception (17.6.4.10 [res.on.exception.handling] -paragraph 4). +Howard recommends NAD with the following explanation:

      -Some implementations of these functions on POSIX, Windows, and -presumably on other operating systems, may fail in ways only detectable -at runtime. Some failures on Windows are due to supporting chipset -errata and can even occur after successful calls to a clock's now() -function. +The intent of the current wording is for the condtion_variable::wait_until +be able to handle user-defined clocks as well as clocks the system knows about. +This can be done by providing overloads for the known clocks, and another +overload for unknown clocks which synchs to a known clock before waiting. +For example: +

      + +
      template <class Duration>
      +bool
      +condition_variable::wait_until(unique_lock<mutex>& lock,
      +                               const chrono::time_point<chrono::system_clock, Duration>& abs_time)
      +{
      +    using namespace chrono;
      +    nanoseconds d = __round_up<nanoseconds>(abs_time.time_since_epoch());
      +    __do_timed_wait(lock.mutex()->native_handle(), time_point<system_clock, nanoseconds>(d));
      +    return system_clock::now() < abs_time;
      +}
      +
      +template <class Clock, class Duration>
      +bool
      +condition_variable::wait_until(unique_lock<mutex>& lock,
      +                               const chrono::time_point<Clock, Duration>& abs_time)
      +{
      +    using namespace chrono;
      +    typename Clock::time_point  c_entry = Clock::now();
      +    system_clock::time_point    s_entry = system_clock::now();
      +    nanoseconds dn = __round_up<nanoseconds>(abs_time.time_since_epoch() -
      +                                              c_entry.time_since_epoch());
      +    __do_timed_wait(lock.mutex()->native_handle(), s_entry + dn);
      +    return Clock::now() < abs_time;
      +}
      +
      + +

      +In the above example, system_clock is the only clock which the underlying +condition variable knows how to deal with. One overload just passes that clock +through. The second overload (approximately) converts the unknown clock into +a system_clock time_point prior to passing it down to the native +condition variable.

      -These functions are used in cases where exceptions are not appropriate -or where the specifics of the exception or cause of error need to be -available to the user. See -N2828, -Library Support for hybrid error -handling (Rev 1), for more specific discussion of use cases. Thus some change in -the interface of now is required. +On Posix systems vendors are free to add implementation defined constructors which +take a clock. That clock can be stored in the condition_variable, and converted +to (or not as necessary) as shown above.

      -The proposed resolution has been implemented in the Boost version of the -chrono library. No problems were encountered. +If an implementation defined constructor takes a clock (for example), then part +of the semantics for that implementation defined ctor might include that a +wait_until using a clock other than the one constructed with results +in an error (exceptional condition) instead of a conversion to the stored clock. +Such a design is up to the vendor as once an implementation defined ctor is used, +the vendor is free to specifiy the behavior of waits and/or notifies however +he pleases (when the cv is constructed in an implementation defined manner).

      Discussion:

      -30.4.1 [thread.mutex.requirements] describes the requirements for a type to be -a "Mutex type". A Mutex type can be used as the template argument for -the Lock type that's passed to condition_variable_any::wait (although -Lock seems like the wrong name here, since Lock is given a different -formal meaning in 30.4.3 [thread.lock]) and, although the WD doesn't quite say -so, as the template argument for lock_guard and unique_lock. +Might this simply be an oversight, or minor defect in the POSIX specification?

      -The requirements for a Mutex type include: +I do not believe so. This same section goes on to say in non-normative +text:

      -
        -
      • -m.lock() shall be well-formed and have [described] semantics, including a return type of void. -
      • -
      • -m.try_lock() shall be well-formed and have [described] semantics, including a return type of bool. -
      • -
      • -m.unlock() shall be well-formed and have [described] semantics, including a return type of void. -
      • -
      +
      +For cases when the system clock is advanced discontinuously by an +operator, it is expected that implementations process any timed wait +expiring at an intervening time as if that time had actually occurred. +

      -Also, a Mutex type "shall not be copyable nor movable". +Here is non-normative wording encouraging the implementation to ignore an advancing +underlying clock and subsequently causing an early (spurious) return. There is +no wording at all which addresses Detlef's example of a "late return". With +pthread_cond_timedwait this would be caused by setting the system clock +backwards. It seems reasonable to assume, based on the wording that is already +in the POSIX spec, that again, the discontinuously changed clock would be ignored +by pthread_cond_timedwait.

      -The latter requirement seems completely irrelevant, and the three -requirements on return types are tighter than they need to be. For -example, there's no reason that lock_guard can't be instantiated with a -type that's copyable. The rule is, in fact, that lock_guard, etc. won't -try to copy objects of that type. That's a constraint on locks, not on -mutexes. Similarly, the requirements for void return types are -unnecessary; the rule is, in fact, that lock_guard, etc. won't use any -returned value. And with the return type of bool, the requirement should -be that the return type is convertible to bool. +A noteworthy difference between pthread_cond_timedwait and +condition_variable::wait_until is that the POSIX spec appears to +say that ETIMEDOUT should be returned if pthread_cond_timedwait +returns because of timeout signal, whether or not the system clock was discontinuously +advanced during the wait. In contrast condition_variable::wait_until +always returns:

      -

      [ -Summit: -]

      - +
      Clock::now() < abs_time
      +
      -

      -Move to open. Related to conceptualization and should probably be tackled as part of that. +That is, the C++ spec requires that the clock be rechecked (detecting discontinuous +adjustments during the wait) at the time of return. condition_variable::wait_until +may indeed return early or late. But regardless it will return a value +reflecting timeout status at the time of return (even if clocks have been adjusted). +Of course the clock may be adjusted after the return value is computed but before the client has +a chance to read the result of the return. Thus there are no iron-clad guarantees +here.

      -
        -
      • -The intention is not only to place a constraint on what types such as -lock_guard may do with mutex types, but on what any code, including user -code, may do with mutex types. Thus the constraints as they are apply to -the mutex types themselves, not the current users of mutex types in the -standard. -

      +condition_variable::wait_until (and pthread_cond_timedwait) +is little more than a convenience function for making sure +condition_variable::wait doesn't hang for an unreasonable amount of +time (where the client gets to define "unreasonable"). I do not think it +is in anyone's interest to try to make it into anything more than that. +

      -

      -Section 30.4.1 [thread.mutex.requirements] conflates the -requirements on a generic Mutex type (including user-supplied mutexes) -with the requirements placed on the standard-supplied mutex types in an -attempt to group everything together and save space. +I maintain that this is a useful and flexible specification in the spirit of +C++, and is implementable on POSIX. The implementation technique described above +is a reasonable approach. There may also be higher quality approaches. This +specification, like the POSIX specification, gives a wide latitude for QOI.

      -Returns the -number of increments or decrements needed to get from first to last. -
      -

      -This sentence is completely silent about the sign of the return value. -24.4 [iterator.operations] / 1 gives more information about the -underlying operations, but -again no inferences about the sign can be made. -Strictly speaking, that is taking that sentence literally, I think this -sentence even implies a positive return value in all cases, as the -number of increments or decrements is clearly a ratio scale variable, -with a natural zero bound. -

      -Practically speaking, my implementations did what common sense and -knowledge based on pointer arithmetic forecasts, namely a positive sign -for increments (that is, going from first to last by operator++), and a -negative sign for decrements (going from first to last by operator--). -

      Discussion:

      -The assignment and equality operators = and == are easily confused, just -because of their visual similarity, and in this case a simple typo can cause -a serious bug. When the left side of an operator= is an rvalue, it's -highly unlikely that the assignment was intended by the programmer: -

      -
      if ( func() = value )  // Typical typo: == intended!

      -Built-in types don't support assignment to an rvalue, but unfortunately, -a lot of types provided by the Standard Library do. +30.4.1.1 [thread.mutex.class]/27 (in +N2723) +says that the behavior is undefined if:

      • a thread that owns a mutex object calls lock() or +try_lock() on that object

      -Fortunately the language now offers a syntax to prevent a certain member -function from having an rvalue as *this: by adding a ref-qualifier (&) -to the member function declaration. Assignment operators are explicitly -mentioned as a use case of ref-qualifiers, in "Extending Move Semantics -To *this (Revision 1)", -N1821 by Daveed -Vandevoorde and Bronek Kozicki +I don't believe that this is right.

      -Hereby I would like to propose adding ref-qualifiers to all appropriate -assignment operators in the library. +Making double lock() undefined behavior probably can be justified (even +though I'd still disagree with the justification), but try_lock() on a +locked mutex must fail.

      Discussion:

      -I think it's fairly obvious that atomic<bool> is supposed to be derived -from atomic_bool (and otherwise follow the atomic<integral> interface), -though I think the current wording doesn't support this. I raised this -point along with atomic<floating-point> privately with Herb and I seem -to recall it came up in the resulting discussion on this list. However, -I don't see anything on the current libs issue list mentioning this -problem. +It is unclear whether shared_ptr is thread-safe in the sense that +multiple threads may simultaneously copy a shared_ptr. However this +is a critical piece of information for the client, and it has significant +impact on usability for many applications. (Detlef Vollman thinks it +is currently clear that it is not thread-safe. Hans Boehm thinks +it currently requires thread safety, since the use_count is not an +explicit field, and constructors and assignment take a const reference +to an existing shared_ptr.) +

      + +

      +Pro thread-safety: +

      +

      +Many multi-threaded usages are impossible. A thread-safe version can +be used to destroy an object when the last thread drops it, something +that is often required, and for which we have no other easy mechanism. +

      +

      +Against thread-safety: +

      +

      +The thread-safe version is well-known to be far more expensive, even +if used by a single thread. Many applications, including all single-threaded +ones, do not care. +

      + +

      +

      +Detlef: I think that shared_ptr should not be thread-safe. +

      +

      +Hans: When you create a thread with a lambda, it in some cases makes it +very difficult for the lambda to reference anything in the heap. It's +currently ambiguous as to whether you can use a shared_ptr to get at an +object. +

      +

      +Leave in Open. Detlef will submit an alternative proposed resolution +that makes shared_ptr explicitly unsafe. +

      +

      +A third option is to support both threadsafe and non-safe share_ptrs, +and to let the programmer decide which behavior they want.

      - -
      --2- system_clock::duration::min() < system_clock::duration::zero() -shall be true. [Note: system_clock::rep shall be signed. -- end note].

      -? +There are actually 3 issues here:

      -
      - -

      [ -Batavia (2009-05): -]

      +
        +
      1. +

        +What value should erase_after return? With list, code often +looks like: +

        +
        for (auto i = l.begin(); i != l.end();)
        +{
        +    // inspect *i and decide if you want to erase it
        +    // ...
        +    if (I want to erase *i)
        +        i = l.erase(i);
        +    else
        +        ++i;
        +}
        +
        +

        +I.e. the iterator returned from erase is useful for setting up the +logic for operating on the next element. For forward_list this might +look something like: +

        +
        auto i = fl.before_begin();
        +auto ip1 = i;
        +for (++ip1; ip1 != fl.end(); ++ip1)
        +{
        +    // inspect *(i+1) and decide if you want to erase it
        +    // ...
        +    if (I want to erase *(i+1))
        +        i = fl.erase_after(i);
        +    else
        +        ++i;
        +    ip1 = i;
        +}
        +
        +

        +In the above example code, it is convenient if erase_after returns +the element prior to the erased element (range) instead of the element +after the erase element (range). +

        +

        +Existing practice: +

        +
          +
        • SGI slist returns an iterator referencing the element after the erased range.
        • +
        • CodeWarrior slist returns an iterator referencing the element before the erased range.
        • +
        +

        +There is not a strong technical argument for either solution over the other. +

        +
      2. -
        -We agree with the direction of the proposed resolution. -Move to NAD Editorial. -
        +
      3. +

        +With all other containers, operations always work on the range +[first, last) and/or prior to the given position. +

        +

        +With forward_list, operations sometimes work on the range +(first, last] and/or after the given position. +

        +

        +This is simply due to the fact that in order to operate on +*first (with forward_list) one needs access to +*(first-1). And that's not practical with +forward_list. So the operating range needs to start with (first, +not [first (as the current working paper says). +

        +

        +Additionally, if one is interested in splicing the range (first, last), +then (with forward_list), one needs practical (constant time) access to +*(last-1) so that one can set the next field in this node to +the proper value. As this is not possible with forward_list, one must +specify the last element of interest instead of one past the last element of +interest. The syntax for doing this is to pass (first, last] instead +of (first, last). +

        +

        +With erase_after we have a choice of either erasing the range +(first, last] or (first, last). Choosing the latter +enables: +

        +
        x.erase_after(pos, x.end());
        +
        +

        +With the former, the above statement is inconvenient or expensive due to the lack +of constant time access to x.end()-1. However we could introduce: +

        +
        iterator erase_to_end(const_iterator position);
        +
        -

        Proposed resolution:

        -Add a note to 20.9.5.1 [time.clock.system], p2: +to compensate.

        -
        --2- system_clock::duration::min() < system_clock::duration::zero() -shall be true. [Note: system_clock::rep shall be signed. -- end note]. -
        - +

        +The advantage of the former ((first, last]) for erase_after +is a consistency with splice_after which uses (first, last] +as the specified range. But this either requires the addition of erase_to_end +or giving up such functionality. +

        +
      4. +
      5. +As stated in the discussion of 892, and reienforced by point 2 above, +a splice_after should work on the source range (first, last] +if the operation is to be Ο(1). When splicing an entire list x the +algorithm needs (x.before_begin(), x.end()-1]. Unfortunately x.end()-1 +is not available in constant time unless we specify that it must be. In order to +make x.end()-1 available in constant time, the implementation would have +to dedicate a pointer to it. I believe the design of +N2543 +intended a nominal overhead of foward_list of 1 pointer. Thus splicing +one entire forward_list into another can not be Ο(1). +

      Discussion:

      -N2800, -20.4.2 [ratio.arithmetic] lacks a paragraph from the proposal -N2661: +Effects: Erases the element pointed to by the iterator following position.

      ratio arithmetic [ratio.arithmetic]

      -

      -... If the implementation is unable to form the indicated ratio due to -overflow, a diagnostic shall be issued. +Returns: An iterator pointing to the element following the one that was erased, or end() if no such +element exists +An iterator equal to position.

      + +
      iterator erase_after(const_iterator position, const_iterator last);
      +
      +
      +

      +Requires: All iterators in the range +[(position,last) +are dereferenceable. +

      +

      +Effects: Erases the elements in the range +[(position,last). +

      -The lack of a diagnostic on compile-time overflow is a significant lack of -functionality. This paragraph could be put back into the WP simply editorially. -However in forming this issue I realized that we can do better than that. This -paragraph should also allow alternative formulations which go to extra lengths -to avoid overflow when possible. I.e. we should not mandate overflow when the -implementation can avoid it. +Returns: An iterator equal to position last

      +
      +

      -For example: +Change 23.3.3.5 [forwardlist.ops]:

      -
      template <class R1, class R2> struct ratio_multiply {
      -  typedef see below} type; 
      +
      void splice_after(const_iterator position, forward_list<T,Allocator>&& x);
       
      -
      -The nested typedef type shall be a synonym for ratio<T1, T2> where -T1 has the value R1::num * R2::num and T2 has the -value R1::den * R2::den. -
      - -
      -

      -Consider the case where intmax_t is a 64 bit 2's complement signed integer, -and we have: +Requires: position is before_begin() or a +dereferenceable iterator in the range [begin(), end)). &x != this.

      - -
      typedef std::ratio<0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFF0> R1;
      -typedef std::ratio<8, 7> R2;
      -typedef std::ratio_multiply<R1, R2>::type RT;
      -
      -

      -According to the present formulation the implementaiton will multiply -0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF * 8 which will result in an overflow and subsequently -require a diagnostic. +Effects: Inserts the contents of x after position, and +x becomes empty. Pointers and references to +the moved elements of x now refer to those same elements but as members of *this. +Iterators referring to the moved elements will continue to refer to their elements, +but they now behave as iterators into *this, not into x.

      -

      -However if the implementation is first allowed to divde 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF -by 7 obtaining 0x1249249249249249 / 1 and divide -8 by 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFF0 obtaining 1 / 0x0FFFFFFFFFFFFFFE, -then the exact result can then be computed without overflow: +Throws: Nothing.

      - -
      [0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF/0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFF0] * [8/7] = [0x1249249249249249/0x0FFFFFFFFFFFFFFE]

      -20.8.13.4 [util.smartptr.ownerless] (class template owner_less) says that -operator()(x,y) shall return x.before(y). +It +appears that we have an issue similar to issue 675 regarding the move-assignment of +stream types.

      Discussion:

      -20.9.1 [time.clock.req] requires that a clock type have a member -typedef named time_point that names an instantiation of the -template time_point, and a member named duration that -names an instantiation of the template duration. This mixing of -levels is confusing. The typedef names should be different from the -template names. +Class template basic_istream, basic_ostream and basic_iostream +implements public move constructors, move assignment operators and swap +method and free functions. This might induce both the user and the +compiler to think that those types are MoveConstructible, MoveAssignable +and Swappable. However, those class templates fail to fulfill the user +expectations. For example:

      -

      [ -Post Summit, Anthony provided proposed wording. -]

      +
      std::ostream os(std::ofstream("file.txt"));
      +assert(os.rdbuf() == 0); // buffer object is not moved to os, file.txt has been closed
       
      +std::vector<std::ostream> v;
      +v.push_back(std::ofstream("file.txt"));
      +v.reserve(100); // causes reallocation
      +assert(v[0].rdbuf() == 0); // file.txt has been closed!
       
      -

      [ -2009-05-04 Howard adds: -]

      +std::ostream&& os1 = std::ofstream("file1.txt"); +os1 = std::ofstream("file2.txt"); +os1 << "hello, world"; // still writes to file1.txt, not to file2.txt! +std::ostream&& os1 = std::ofstream("file1.txt"); +std::ostream&& os2 = std::ofstream("file2.txt"); +std::swap(os1, os2); +os1 << "hello, world"; // writes to file1.txt, not to file2.txt! +
      -

      -The reason that the typedef names were given the same name as the class templates -was so that clients would not have to stop and think about whether they were -using the clock's native time_point / duration or the class -template directly. In this case, one person's confusion is another person's -encapsulation. The detail that sometimes one is referring to the clock's -native types, and sometimes one is referring to an independent type is -purposefully "hidden" because it is supposed to be an unimportant -detail. It can be confusing to have to remember when to type duration -and when to type duration_type, and there is no need to require the -client to remember something like that. +This is because the move constructor, the move assignment operator and +swap are all implemented through calls to std::basic_ios member +functions move() and swap() that do not move nor swap the controlled +stream buffers. That can't happen because the stream buffers may have +different types.

      -For example, here is code that I once wrote in testing out the usability of -this facility: +Notice that for basic_streambuf, the member function swap() is +protected. I believe that is correct and all of basic_istream, +basic_ostream, basic_iostream should do the same as the move ctor, move +assignment operator and swap member function are needed by the derived +fstreams and stringstreams template. The free swap functions for +basic_(i|o|io)stream templates should be removed for the same reason.

I've turned around +to agree with the proposed resolution (which I've updated to the current draft). +I did not fully understand Ganesh's rationale, and attempt to describe my +improved understanding below.

      +

      -Walter would prefer not to suffix type names, -especially for such well-understood terms as "duration". +The move constructor, move assignment operator, and swap function are different +for basic_istream, basic_ostream and basic_iostream +than other classes. A timely conversation with Daniel reminded me of this long +forgotten fact. These members are sufficiently different that they would be +extremely confusing to use in general, but they are very much needed for derived +clients. +

      + +
        +
      • +The move constructor moves everything but the rdbuf pointer. +
      • +
      • +The move assignment operator moves everything but the rdbuf pointer. +
      • +
      • +The swap function swaps everything but the rdbuf pointer. +
      • +
      + +

      +The reason for this behavior is that for the std-derived classes (stringstreams, +filestreams), the rdbuf pointer points back into the class itself +(self referencing). It can't be swapped or moved. But this fact isn't born out +at the stream level. Rather it is born out at the fstream/sstream +level. And the lower levels just need to deal with that fact by not messing around +with the rdbuf pointer which is stored down at the lower levels.

      +

      -Howard reminds us that the proposed resolution is incomplete, per his comment -in the issue. +In a nutshell, it is very confusing for all of those who are not so intimately +related with streams that they've implemented them. And it is even fairly +confusing for some of those who have (including myself). I do not think it is +safe to swap or move istreams or ostreams because this will +(by necessary design) separate stream state from streambuffer state. Derived +classes (such as fstream and stringstream must be used to +keep the stream state and stream buffer consistently packaged as one unit during +a move or swap.

    -20.9.5.1 [time.clock.system]: to_time_t is overspecified. It -requires truncation, but should allow rounding. For example, suppose a -system has a clock that gives times in milliseconds, but time() rounds -those times to the nearest second. Then system_clock can't use any -resolution finer than one second, because if it did, truncating times -between half a second and a full second would produce the wrong time_t -value. +N2770 (and thus now the WP) removed the +non-template move-assignment operator from tuple's class definition, +but the latter individual member description does still provide this +operator.

    +

    -Library Issue 475 has CD1 status, but the non-normative note in -N2723 -was removed in -N2798 -(25.3.4 [alg.foreach] in both drafts). +There was an interesting issue raised over on comp.programming.threads +today regarding the following example +

    + +
    // Thread 1:
    +x.store(1, memory_order_relaxed);           // SX
    +atomic_thread_fence(memory_order_seq_cst);  // F1
    +y.store(1, memory_order_relaxed);           // SY1
    +atomic_thread_fence(memory_order_seq_cst);  // F2
    +r1 = y.load(memory_order_relaxed);          // RY
    +
    +// Thread 2:
    +y.store(0, memory_order_relaxed);          // SY2
    +atomic_thread_fence(memory_order_seq_cst); // F3
    +r2 = x.load(memory_order_relaxed);         // RX
    +
    + +

    +is the outcome r1 == 0 and r2 == 0 possible? +

    +

    +I think the intent is that this is not possible, but I am not sure the +wording guarantees that. Here is my analysis: +

    +

    +Since all the fences are SC, there must be a total order between them. +F1 must be before F2 in that order since they are in +the same thread. Therefore F3 is either before F1, +between F1 and F2 or after F2. +

    +

    +If F3 is after F2, then we can apply 29.3 [atomics.order]p5 from +N2798: +

    + +
    +For atomic operations A and B on an atomic object +M, where A modifies M and B takes +its value, if there are memory_order_seq_cst fences X +and Y such that A is sequenced before X, +Y is sequenced before B, and X precedes +Y in S, then B observes either the effects of +A or a later modification of M in its modification +order. +
    + +

    +In this case, A is SX, B is RX, the +fence X is F2 and the fence Y is F3, +so RX must see 1. +

    +

    +If F3 is before F2, this doesn't apply, but +F3 can therefore be before or after F1. +

    +

    +If F3 is after F1, the same logic applies, but this +time the fence X is F1. Therefore again, RX +must see 1. +

    +

    +Finally we have the case that F3 is before F1 +in the SC ordering. There are now no guarantees about RX, and +RX can see r2==0. +

    +

    +We can apply 29.3 [atomics.order]p5 again. This time, +A is SY2, B is RY, X is +F3 and Y is F1. Thus RY must observe +the effects of SY2 or a later modification of y in its +modification order. +

    +

    +Since SY1 is sequenced before RY, RY must +observe the effects of SY1 or a later modification of +y in its modification order. +

    +

    +In order to ensure that RY sees (r1==1), we must see +that SY1 is later in the modification order of y than +SY2. +

    +

    +We're now skating on thin ice. Conceptually, SY2 happens-before +F3, F3 is SC-ordered before F1, F1 +happens-before SY1, so SY1 is later in the +modification order M of y, and RY must see +the result of SY1 (r1==1). However, I don't think the +words are clear on that.

    Proposed resolution:

    -Restore the non-normative note. It might need to be expressed in terms of concepts. +In my (Hans') view, our definition of fences will always be weaker than +what particular hardware will guarantee. Memory_order_seq_cst fences +inherently don't guarantee sequential consistency anyway, for good +reasons (e.g. because they can't enforce a total order on stores). + Hence I don't think the issue demonstrates a gross failure to achieve +what we intended to achieve. The example in question is a bit esoteric. + Hence, in my view, living with the status quo certainly wouldn't be a +disaster either.

    -Anthony Williams raised the question in c++std-lib-22987 "why is there -std::make_error_code(std::errc)? What purpose does this serve?" +The thread constructor for starting a new thread with a function and +arguments is overly constrained by the signature requiring rvalue +references for func and args and the CopyConstructible requirements +for the elements of args. The use of an rvalue reference for the +function restricts the potential use of a plain function name, since +the type of the bound parameter will be deduced to be a function +reference and decay to pointer-to-function will not happen. This +therefore complicates the implementation in order to handle a simple +case. Furthermore, the use of rvalue references for args prevents the +array to pointer decay. Since arrays are not CopyConstructible or even +MoveConstructible, this essentially prevents the passing of arrays as +parameters. In particular it prevents the passing of string literals. +Consequently a simple case such as

    + +
    void f(const char*);
    +std::thread t(f,"hello");

    Discussion:

    -The following code should not compile because it involves implicit truncation -errors (against the design philosophy of the duration library). +A user might be tempted to use std::array::elems instead, but +doing so isn't recommended, because std::array::elems is "for +exposition only". Note that Boost.Array users might already use +boost::array::elems, as its documentation doesn't explicitly +state that boost::array::elems is for exposition only: +http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/doc/html/boost/array.html

    - -
    duration<double> d(3.5);
    -duration<int> i = d;  // implicit truncation, should not compile
    -
    -

    -This intent was codified in the example implementation which drove this proposal -but I failed to accurately translate the code into the specification in this -regard. +I can think of three options to solve this issue:

    - -

    [ -Batavia (2009-05): -]

    - -
    +
    1. +Remove the words "exposition only" from the definition of +std::array::elems, as well as the note saying that "elems is +shown for exposition only." +
    2. +Change the signature of std::array::data(), so that it would +return a reference to the built-in array, instead of a pointer to its +first element. +
    3. +Add extra member functions, returning a reference to the built-in array. +

    -We agree with the proposed resolution. +Lawrence Crowl wrote me that it might be better to leave +std::array::elems "for exposition only", to allow alternate +representations to allocate the array data dynamically. This might be +of interest to the embedded community, having to deal with very limited +stack sizes.

    -Move to Tentatively Ready. +The second option, changing the return type of +std::array::data(), would break backward compatible to current +Boost and TR1 implementations, as well as to the other contiguous +container (vector and string) in a very subtle way. +For example, the following call to std::swap currently swap two +locally declared pointers (data1, data2), for any container +type T that has a data() member function. When +std::array::data() is changed to return a reference, the +std::swap call may swap the container elements instead.

    -
    +
     template <typename T>
    + void func(T& container1, T& container2)
    + {
    +   // Are data1 and data2 pointers or references?
    +   auto data1 = container1.data();
    +   auto data2 = container2.data();
    +
    +   // Will this swap two local pointers, or all container elements?
    +   std::swap(data1, data2);
    + }
    +
    -

    Proposed resolution:

    -Change 20.9.3.1 [time.duration.cons], p4: +The following concept is currently satisfied by all contiguous +containers, but it no longer is for std::array, when +array::data() +is changed to return a reference (tested on ConceptGCC Alpha 7):

    -
    -
    template <class Rep2, class Period2> 
    -  duration(const duration<Rep2, Period2>& d);
    +
     auto concept ContiguousContainerConcept<typename T>
    + {
    +   typename value_type = typename T::value_type;
    +   const value_type * T::data() const;
    + }
     
    -
    --4- Requires: treat_as_floating_point<rep>::value -shall be true or both ratio_divide<Period2, -period>::type::den shall be 1 -and treat_as_floating_point<Rep2>::value -shall be false. -Diagnostic required. -[Note: This requirement prevents implicit truncation error when -converting between integral-based duration types. Such a -construction could easily lead to confusion about the value of the -duration. -- end note] -
    -
    - - +

    +Still it's worth considering having std::array::data() return a +reference, because it might be the most intuitive option, from a user's +point of view. Nicolai Josuttis (who wrote boost::array) +mailed me that he very much prefers this option. +

    +

    +Note that for this option, the definition of data() would also +need to be revised for zero-sized arrays, as its return type cannot be a +reference to a zero-sized built-in array. Regarding zero-sized array, +data() could throw an exception. Or there could be a partial +specialization of std::array where data() returns +T* or gets removed. +

    +

    +Personally I prefer the third option, adding a new member function to +std::array, overloaded for const and non-const access, +returning a reference to the built-in array, to avoid those compatible +issues. I'd propose naming the function std::array::c_array(), +which sounds intuitive to me. Note that boost::array already +has a c_array() member, returning a pointer, but Nicolai told +me that this one is only there for historical reasons. (Otherwise a name +like std::array::native_array() or +std::array::builtin_array() would also be fine with me.) +According to my proposed resolution, a zero-sized std::array does not need +to have c_array(), while it is still required to have +data() functions. +

    -[Note: This requirement gives well defined results for reference types, -void types, array types, and function types. -- end note] +20.8.9.2.1 [unique.ptr.single.ctor]/5 no longer requires for D +not to be a pointer type. I believe this restriction was accidently removed +when we relaxed the completeness reuqirements on T. The restriction +needs to be put back in. Otherwise we have a run time failure that could +have been caught at compile time:

    -

    {
    +unique_ptr<int, void(*)(void*)> p1(malloc(sizeof(int)));  // should not compile

    Discussion:

    +

    -The synopsis given in 23.3.5.3.1 [stack.defn] does not show up +The two constructors to which this issue applies are not easily constrained +with enable_if as they are not templated:

    -
    requires MoveConstructible<Cont> stack(stack&&);
    -requires MoveAssignable<Cont> stack& operator=(stack&&);
    +
    unique_ptr();
    +explicit unique_ptr(pointer p);
     

    -although the other container adaptors do provide corresponding -members. +To "SFINAE" these constructors away would take heroic effort such as specializing +the entire unique_ptr class template on pointer deleter types. There +is insufficient motivation for such heroics. Here is the expected and +reasonable implementation for these constructors:

    -

    [ -Batavia (2009-05): -]

    +
    unique_ptr()
    +    : ptr_(pointer())
    +    {
    +        static_assert(!is_pointer<deleter_type>::value,
    +            "unique_ptr constructed with null function pointer deleter");
    +    }
    +explicit unique_ptr(pointer p)
    +    : ptr_(p)
    +    {
    +        static_assert(!is_pointer<deleter_type>::value,
    +            "unique_ptr constructed with null function pointer deleter");
    +    }
    +
    -

    -We agree with the proposed resolution. +I.e. just use static_assert to verify that the constructor is not +instantiated with a function pointer for a deleter. The compiler will automatically +take care of issuing a diagnostic if the deleter is a reference type (uninitialized +reference error).

    +

    -Move to Tentatively Ready. +In keeping with our discussions in Frankfurt, I'm moving this requirement on +the implementation from the Requires paragraph to a Remarks paragraph.

    -A solution is to modify the BackInsertionContainer concept so that -the client can pass in the parameter type for push_back similar to -what is already done for the OutputIterator concept: +duration is missing operator%. This operator is convenient +for computing where in a time frame a given duration lies. A +motivating example is converting a duration into a "broken-down" +time duration such as hours::minutes::seconds:

    -
    concept BackInsertionContainer<typename C, typename Value = C::value_type&&>
    -  : Container<C> { 
    -     void push_back(C&, Value); 
    -}

    class ClockTime
    +{
    +    typedef std::chrono::hours hours;
    +    typedef std::chrono::minutes minutes;
    +    typedef std::chrono::seconds seconds;
    +public:
    +    hours hours_;
    +    minutes minutes_;
    +    seconds seconds_;
    +
    +    template <class Rep, class Period>
    +      explicit ClockTime(const std::chrono::duration<Rep, Period>& d)

    +Some implementations of these functions on POSIX, Windows, and +presumably on other operating systems, may fail in ways only detectable +at runtime. Some failures on Windows are due to supporting chipset +errata and can even occur after successful calls to a clock's now() +function. +

    Discussion:

    -I don't see an open issue on supporting std::hash for smart pointers -(unique_ptr and shared_ptr at least). +30.4.1 [thread.mutex.requirements] describes the requirements for a type to be +a "Mutex type". A Mutex type can be used as the template argument for +the Lock type that's passed to condition_variable_any::wait (although +Lock seems like the wrong name here, since Lock is given a different +formal meaning in 30.4.3 [thread.lock]) and, although the WD doesn't quite say +so, as the template argument for lock_guard and unique_lock.

    +

    -It seems reasonable to at least expect support for the smart -pointers, especially as they support comparison for use in ordered -associative containers. +The requirements for a Mutex type include:

    -

    [ -Batavia (2009-05): -]

    +
      +
    • +m.lock() shall be well-formed and have [described] semantics, including a return type of void. +
    • +
    • +m.try_lock() shall be well-formed and have [described] semantics, including a return type of bool. +
    • +
    • +m.unlock() shall be well-formed and have [described] semantics, including a return type of void. +
    • +
    -
    -

    -Howard points out that the client can always supply a custom hash function. -

    -Alisdair replies that the smart pointer classes are highly likely -to be frequently used as hash keys. -

    -

    -Bill would prefer to be conservative. +Also, a Mutex type "shall not be copyable nor movable".

    +

    -Alisdair mentions that this issue may also be viewed as a subissue or -duplicate of issue 1025. +The latter requirement seems completely irrelevant, and the three +requirements on return types are tighter than they need to be. For +example, there's no reason that lock_guard can't be instantiated with a +type that's copyable. The rule is, in fact, that lock_guard, etc. won't +try to copy objects of that type. That's a constraint on locks, not on +mutexes. Similarly, the requirements for void return types are +unnecessary; the rule is, in fact, that lock_guard, etc. won't use any +returned value. And with the return type of bool, the requirement should +be that the return type is convertible to bool.

    • +The intention is not only to place a constraint on what types such as +lock_guard may do with mutex types, but on what any code, including user +code, may do with mutex types. Thus the constraints as they are apply to +the mutex types themselves, not the current users of mutex types in the +standard. +

    -Howard points out that the client can always supply a custom hash function. -

    -Not entirely true. The client cannot supply the function that hashes the -address of the control block (the equivalent of the old operator<, now -proudly carrying the awkward name of 'owner_before'). Only the -implementation can do that, not necessarily via specializing hash<>, of -course. +Section 30.4.1 [thread.mutex.requirements] conflates the +requirements on a generic Mutex type (including user-supplied mutexes) +with the requirements placed on the standard-supplied mutex types in an +attempt to group everything together and save space.

    -This hash function makes sense in certain situations for shared_ptr -(when one needs to switch from set/map using ownership ordering to -unordered_set/map) and is the only hash function that makes sense for -weak_ptr. +When applying concepts to chapter 30, I suggest that the concepts +Lockable and TimedLockable embody the requirements for +*use* of a mutex type as required by +unique_lock/lock_guard/condition_variable_any.

The existing words in 30.4.1 [thread.mutex.requirements] are requirements on all of +std::mutex, std::timed_mutex, +std::recursive_mutex and std::recursive_timed_mutex, +and should be rephrased as such.

    939. Problem with std::identity and reference-to-temporaries

    Discussion:

    -24.5.3 [move.iterators] has an incorrect example: +std::identity takes an argument of type T const & +and returns a result of T const &. +

    +

    +Unfortunately, this signature will accept a value of type other than T that +is convertible-to-T, and then return a reference to the dead temporary. The +constraint in the concepts version simply protects against returning +reference-to-void. +

    +

    +Solutions:

    -

    --2- [Example: +i/ Return-by-value, potentially slicing bases and rejecting non-copyable +types +

    +

    +ii/ Provide an additional overload: +

    +
    template< typename T >
    +template operator( U & ) = delete;
    +
    +

    +This seems closer on intent, but moves beyond the original motivation for +the operator, which is compatibility with existing (non-standard) +implementations. +

    +

    +iii/ Remove the operator() overload. This restores the original definition +of the identity, although now effectively a type_trait rather than part of +the perfect forwarding protocol.

    -Dave brought to my attention that when a unique_ptr has a non-const reference -type deleter, move constructing from it, even when the unique_ptr containing -the reference is an rvalue, could have surprising results: -

    - -
    D d(some-state);
    -unique_ptr<A, D&> p(new A, d);
    -unique_ptr<A, D> p2 = std::move(p);
    -// has d's state changed here?
    -

    -I agree with him. It is the unique_ptr that is the rvalue, not the -deleter. When the deleter is a reference type, the unique_ptr should -respect the "lvalueness" of the deleter. -

    Discussion:

    -Introduction -

    - -

    This proposal is meant to resolve potential regression of the -N2800 -draft, see -next section, and to relax the requirements for containers of types with -throwing move constructors.

    - -

    The basic problem is that some containers operations, like push_back, -have a strong exception safety -guarantee (i.e. no side effects upon exception) that are not achievable when -throwing move constructors are used since there is no way to guarantee revert -after partial move. For such operations the implementation can at most provide -the basic guarantee (i.e. valid but unpredictable) as it does with multi -copying operations (e.g. range insert).

    - -

    For example, vector<T>::push_back() (where T has a move -constructor) might resize the vector and move the objects to the new underlying -buffer. If move constructor throws it might -not be possible to recover the throwing object or to move the old objects back to -the original buffer.

    - -

    The current draft is explicit by disallowing throwing move -for some operations (e.g. vector<>::reserve) and not clear about other -operations mentioned in 23.2.1 [container.requirements.general]/10 -(e.g. single element insert): it guarantees strong exception -safety without explicitly disallowing a throwing move constructor. +I think it's fairly obvious that atomic<bool> is supposed to be derived +from atomic_bool (and otherwise follow the atomic<integral> interface), +though I think the current wording doesn't support this. I raised this +point along with atomic<floating-point> privately with Herb and I seem +to recall it came up in the resulting discussion on this list. However, +I don't see anything on the current libs issue list mentioning this +problem.

    -Regression +29.5.3 [atomics.types.generic]/3 reads

    -

    This section only refers to cases in which the contained object -is by itself a standard container.

    +
    +There are full specializations over the integral types on the atomic +class template. For each integral type integral in the second column of +table 121 or table 122, the specialization atomic<integral> shall be +publicly derived from the corresponding atomic integral type in the +first column of the table. These specializations shall have trivial +default constructors and trivial destructors. +
    -

    Move constructors of standard containers are allowed to throw and therefore -existing operations are broken, compared with C++03, due to move optimization. -(In fact existing implementations like Dinkumware are actually throwing).

    +

    +Table 121 does not include (atomic_bool, bool), +so that this should probably be mentioned explicitly in the quoted paragraph. +

    -

    For example, vector< list<int> >::reserve yields -undefined behavior since list<int>'s move constructor is allowed to throw. -On the other hand, the same operation has strong exception safety guarantee in -C++03.

    +

    [ +Summit: +]

    -

    There are few options to solve this regression:

    -
      -
    1. -Disallow throwing move and throwing default constructor -
    2. +
      +Move to open. Lawrence will draft a proposed resolution. Also, ask +Howard to fix the title. +
      -
    3. -Disallow throwing move but disallowing usage after move -
    4. +

      [ +Post Summit Anthony provided proposed wording. +]

      -
    5. -Special casing -
    6. -
    7. -Disallow throwing move and making it optional -
    8. -
    +

    Proposed resolution:

    +

    +Replace paragraph 3 in 29.5.3 [atomics.types.generic] with +

    -

    Option 1 is suggested by proposal -N2815 -but it might not be applicable for existing implementations for which -containers default constructors are throwing.

    +
    +-3- There are full specializations over the integral types on the atomic +class template. For each integral type integral in the second column of +table 121 or table 122, the specialization atomic<integral> shall be +publicly derived from the corresponding atomic integral type in the first +column of the table. +In addition, the specialization atomic<bool> +shall be publicly derived from atomic_bool. +These specializations shall have trivial default +constructors and trivial destructors. +
    -

    Option 2 limits the usage significantly and it's error prone -by allowing zombie objects that are nothing but destructible (e.g. no clear() -is allowed after move). It also potentially complicates the implementation by -introducing special state.

    -

    Option 3 is possible, for example, using default -construction and swap instead of move for standard containers case. The -implementation is also free to provide special hidden operation for non -throwing move without forcing the user the cope with the limitation of option-2 -when using the public move.

    -

    Option 4 impact the efficiency in all use cases due to rare throwing move.

    -

    The proposed wording will imply option 1 or 3 though option 2 is also -achievable using more wording. I personally oppose to option 2 that has impact -on usability.

    947. duration arithmetic: contradictory requirements

    Discussion:

    -Relaxation for user types +In 20.9.3.5 [time.duration.nonmember], paragraph 8 says that calling +dur / rep +when rep is an instantiation of duration requires a diagnostic. +That's followed by an operator/ that takes two durations. +So dur1 / dur2 is legal under the second version, +but requires a diagnostic under the first.

    -

    Disallowing throwing move constructors in general seems very restrictive -since, for example, common implementation of move will be default construction -+ swap so move will throw if the -default constructor will throw. This is currently the case with the Dinkumware -implementation of node based containers (e.g. std::list) -though this section doesn't refer to standard types.

    +

    [ +Howard adds: +]

    -

    For throwing move constructors it seem that the implementation should have -no problems to provide the basic guarantee instead of the strong one. It's -better to allow throwing move constructors with basic guarantee than to -disallow it silently (compile and run), via undefined behavior.

    -

    There might still be cases in which the relaxation will break existing generic -code that assumes the strong guarantee but it's broken either way given a -throwing move constructor since this is not a preserving optimization.

    +

    +I have surveyed all clauses of 20.9.2.2 [time.traits.duration_values], +20.9.2.3 [time.traits.specializations] and 20.9.3 [time.duration]. +I can not find any clause which involves the use of a duration::rep type +where the requirements on the rep type are not clearly spelled out. +These requirements were carefully crafted to allow any arithmetic type, or +any user-defined type emulating an arithmetic type. +

    +

    +There will be some Rep types which will not meet the requirements of +every duration operation. This is no different than the fact +that vector<T> can easily be used for types T which are +not DefaultConstructible, even though some members of vector<T> +require T to be DefaultConstructible. This is why the requirements +on Rep are specified for each operation individually. +

    -23.3.6.4 [vector.modifiers] change paragraph 6 to say: +In 20.9.2.1 [time.traits.is_fp] p1:

    +
    template <class Rep> struct treat_as_floating_point

    +
    +
    --6- Throws: Nothing unless an exception is thrown by the copy -constructor, move constructor or assignment operator of T. +The duration template uses the treat_as_floating_point trait to help +determine if a duration object can be converted to another duration +with a different tick period. If treat_as_floating_point<Rep>::value is +true, then Rep is a floating-point type and implicit conversions are +allowed among durations. Otherwise, the implicit convertibility depends +on the tick periods of the durations. If Rep is a class type which +emulates a floating-point type, the author of Rep can specialize +treat_as_floating_point so that duration will treat this Rep as if it +were a floating-point type. Otherwise Rep is assumed to be an integral +type or a class emulating an integral type. +
    +

    +The phrases "a class type which emulates a floating-point type" and +"a class emulating an integral type" are clarifying phrases which refer to +the summation of all the requirements on the Rep type specified in +detail elsewhere (and should not be repeated here). +

    +

    +This specification has been implemented, now multiple times, and the experience +has been favorable. The current specification clearly specifies the requirements +at each point of use (though I'd be happy to fix any place I may have missed, +but none has been pointed out). +

    +

    +I am amenable to improved wording of this paragraph (and any others), but to not have any +suggestions for improved wording at this time. I am strongly opposed to +changes which would significantly alter the semantics of the +specification under 20.9 [time] without firmly grounded and +documented rationale, example implementation, testing, and user +experience which relates a positive experience. +

    + +
      +
    1. -And then paragraph 3 says: +"epoch" is purposefully not defined beyond the common English +definition. The C standard +also chose not to define epoch, though POSIX did. I believe it is a strength +of the C standard that epoch is not defined. When it is known that two time_points +refer to the same epoch, then a definition of the epoch is not needed to compare +the two time_points, or subtract them. +

      +

      +A time_point and a Clock implicitly refer to an (unspecified) epoch. +The time_point represents an offset (duration) from an epoch. +

      +
    2. +
    3. +

      +The sentence:

      -
      +Different clocks +may share a time_point +definition if it is valid to +compare their time_points by +comparing their respective +durations. +
      +

      -The template instantiation reference_wrapper<T> shall be -derived from std::unary_function<T1, R> only if the type -T is any of the following: +is redundant and could be removed. I believe the sentence which follows the above:

      -
        +
        +C1 and C2 shall refer to the same epoch. +
        + +

        +is sufficient. If two clocks share the same epoch, then by definition, comparing +their time_points is valid. +

        +
      • -a function type or a pointer to function type taking one argument of -type T1 and returning R +is_monotonic is meant to never change (be const). It is also +desired that this value be usable in compile-time computation and branching.
      • -

      +This should probably instead be worded: +

    Discussion:

    -Therefore, I believe an alternative proposed resolution for issue 987 could simply -allow reference_wrapper to be used with function types. +20.9.1 [time.clock.req] requires that a clock type have a member +typedef named time_point that names an instantiation of the +template time_point, and a member named duration that +names an instantiation of the template duration. This mixing of +levels is confusing. The typedef names should be different from the +template names.

    -I agree with Peter (and Eric). I got this one wrong on my first try. Here -is code that demonstrates how easy (and useful) it is to instantiate -reference_wrapper with a function type: +The reason that the typedef names were given the same name as the class templates +was so that clients would not have to stop and think about whether they were +using the clock's native time_point / duration or the class +template directly. In this case, one person's confusion is another person's +encapsulation. The detail that sometimes one is referring to the clock's +native types, and sometimes one is referring to an independent type is +purposefully "hidden" because it is supposed to be an unimportant +detail. It can be confusing to have to remember when to type duration +and when to type duration_type, and there is no need to require the +client to remember something like that.

    -
    -template <class F>
    -void test(F f);
    -
    -void f() {}

    -int main() +
    template <class Clock, class Duration>
    +void do_until(const std::chrono::time_point<Clock, Duration>& t)
     {
    -    test(std::ref(f));

    -There is some confusion over what the value of monotonic_clock::is_monotonic -when monotonic_clock is a synonym for system_clock. The -intent is that if monotonic_clock exists, then monotonic_clock::is_monotonic -is true. +20.9.5.1 [time.clock.system]: to_time_t is overspecified.

    -This is effectively an extension of LWG issue 343. -

    -

    -We know there is an increasing trend (encouraged by conformance testers and -some users) that each library header should supply no more than required to -satisfy the synopsis in the standard. This is typically achieved by -breaking larger headers into smaller subsets, and judicious use of forward -declarations. -

That is -because pointers do not satisfy any of the iterator concepts without the -concept_map supplied in this header. -

    -

    -Therefore, I suggest we should require all library headers that make use of -iterator concepts are specifically required to #include <iterator_concepts>. -

    -At a minimum, the list of headers would be: (assuming all are constrained by -concepts) +30.5.1 [thread.condition.condvar]: condition_variable::wait and +condition_variable::wait_until both have a postcondition that lock is +locked by the calling thread, and a throws clause that requires throwing +an exception if this postcondition cannot be achieved.

    -In order to compile <vector> you just need the -definitions of the concepts in <memory_concepts>, the -concept maps defined there are not necessary. Yet, from the user point -of view, if the concept map template for AllocatableElement are -not in scope, <vector> is pretty useless. Same for -<tuple> and ConstructibleWithAllocator. -

    -numeric_limits [partial specializations] does not use concept. +Anthony Williams raised the question in c++std-lib-22987 "why is there +std::make_error_code(std::errc)? What purpose does this serve?" +

    +

    +The function make_error_code(errc e) is not required, since +make_error_condition(errc e) is the function that is needed for errc +conversions. make_error_code(errc e) appears to be a holdover from my +initial confusion over the distinction between POSIX and operating +systems that conform to the POSIX spec.

    +Dave brought to my attention that when a unique_ptr has a non-const reference +type deleter, move constructing from it, even when the unique_ptr containing +the reference is an rvalue, could have surprising results: +

    +unique_ptr<A, D> p2 = std::move(p);
    +// has d's state changed here?

    -The default constructor default-initializes current, rather than -value-initializes. This means that when Iterator corresponds to a -trivial type, the current member is left un-initialized, even when the -user explictly requests value intialization! At this point, it is not -safe to perform any operations on the reverse_iterator other than assign -it a new value or destroy it. Note that this does correspond to the -basic definition of a singular iterator. +I agree with him. It is the unique_ptr that is the rvalue, not the +deleter.

    -

    [ -Batavia (2009-05): -]

    +

    This proposal is meant to resolve potential regression of the +N2800 +draft, see +next section, and to relax the requirements for containers of types with +throwing move constructors.

    -
    -We agree with the proposed resolution. -Move to Tentatively Ready. -
    +

    The basic problem is that some containers operations, like push_back, +have a strong exception safety +guarantee (i.e. no side effects upon exception) that are not achievable when +throwing move constructors are used since there is no way to guarantee revert +after partial move. For such operations the implementation can at most provide +the basic guarantee (i.e. valid but unpredictable) as it does with multi +copying operations (e.g. range insert).

    + +

    For example, vector<T>::push_back() (where T has a move +constructor) might resize the vector and move the objects to the new underlying +buffer. If move constructor throws it might +not be possible to recover the throwing object or to move the old objects back to +the original buffer.

    +

    The current draft is explicit by disallowing throwing move +for some operations (e.g. vector<>::reserve) and not clear about other +operations mentioned in 23.2.1 [container.requirements.general]/10 +(e.g. single element insert): it guarantees strong exception +safety without explicitly disallowing a throwing move constructor. +

    Option 1 is suggested by proposal +N2815 +but it might not be applicable for existing implementations for which +containers default constructors are throwing.

    +

    Option 2 limits the usage significantly and it's error prone +by allowing zombie objects that are nothing but destructible (e.g. no clear() +is allowed after move). It also potentially complicates the implementation by +introducing special state.

    -

    -UK 317: -

    +

    Option 3 is possible, for example, using default +construction and swap instead of move for standard containers case. The +implementation is also free to provide special hidden operation for non +throwing move without forcing the user the cope with the limitation of option-2 +when using the public move.

    -
    -basic_string has both a constructor and an assignment operator that -accepts an initializer list, basic_regex should have the same. -
    +

    Option 4 impact the efficiency in all use cases due to rare throwing move.

    -JP 74: +Relaxation for user types

    -
    -basic_regx & operator= (initializer_list<T>); is not defined. -
    +

    Disallowing throwing move constructors in general seems very restrictive +since, for example, common implementation of move will be default construction ++ swap so move will throw if the +default constructor will throw. This is currently the case with the Dinkumware +implementation of node based containers (e.g. std::list) +though this section doesn't refer to standard types.

    + +

    For throwing move constructors it seem that the implementation should have +no problems to provide the basic guarantee instead of the strong one. It's +better to allow throwing move constructors with basic guarantee than to +disallow it silently (compile and run), via undefined behavior.

    + +

    There might still be cases in which the relaxation will break existing generic +code that assumes the strong guarantee but it's broken either way given a +throwing move constructor since this is not a preserving optimization.

    +The post-increment operator is dangerous for a general InputIterator. +The multi-pass guarantees that make it meaningful are defined as part of +the ForwardIterator refinement. Any change will affect only constrained +templates that have not yet been written, so should not break existing +user iterators which remain free to add these operations. This change +will also affect the generalised OutputIterator, although there is no +percieved need for the post-increment operator in this case either. +

    -shared_ptr<T> and weak_ptr<T> support all -types T for which T* is valid. In other words, a -possible (partial) resolution is to change class T to -PointeeType T for shared_ptr, weak_ptr and -possibly enable_shared_from_this. +We still think the issue is relevant, but needs totally rewording in +non-concept language.

    -Specialized algorithms for memory managenment need requirements to be -easily usable in constrained templates. +The default constructor default-initializes current, rather than +value-initializes. This means that when Iterator corresponds to a +trivial type, the current member is left un-initialized, even when the +user explictly requests value intialization! At this point, it is not +safe to perform any operations on the reverse_iterator other than assign +it a new value or destroy it. Note that this does correspond to the +basic definition of a singular iterator.

    -Rep, Period, Clock and Duration -don't correspond to concept. +The rationale for the omission of a release() member function from shared_ptr is given in: +http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/libs/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.htm

    -
    template <class Rep, class Period = ratio<1>> class duration; 
    -template <class Clock, class Duration = typename Clock::duration> class time_point; 
    -

    -Make concept for Rep, Period, Clock and Duration. -Fix 20.9 [time] and wait_until -and wait_for's template parameter at 30 [thread]. +The implementation of such a member is non-trivial (and maybe +impossible), because it would need to account for the deleter.

    +

    [ -Summit: +2009-07-26 Howard sets to Tentatively NAD Future. ]

    -We agree that this section needs concepts. We look forward to a paper on -this topic. We recommend no action until a paper is available. +

    +I took an online poll and got 3 votes for NAD and 3 for NAD Future. Personally +I prefer NAD Future as this does refer to an extension that could conceivably be +considered beyond C++0X. +

    + +

    +However such an extension would need to solve a couple of problems: +

    + +
      +
    1. What is the interface for such a conversion when the shared_ptr does +not have unique ownership? Throw an exception? Create a null unique_ptr? +Undefined behavior? +
    2. + +
    3. +

      +How does one handle custom deleters given to the shared_ptr constructor? +

      +

      +I do not believe it is possible to implement a general answer to this question. +The shared_ptr deleter is a run time (or construction time) characteristic. +The unique_ptr deleter is a compile time characteristic. In general one +can not know to what type of unqiue_ptr you are converting to. +

      +

      +One answer is for the user of the conversion to specify the deleter type and perhaps +throw an exception if the specification turns out to be incorrect. +

      +

      +Another answer is for the conversion to only be valid when the underlying deleter +is default_delete. We would probalby need to specify that this is indeed the +underlying deleter of a shared_ptr when a custom deleter is not given in +the constructor. +

      +
    4. +
    + +

    +At any rate, there are non-trivial design issues which would need to be implemented +and tested in the field for usability prior to standardization. +

    +My current preferred solution is: +

    + +
    template <class T>
    +struct __base_type
    +{
    +   typedef typename remove_cv<typename remove_reference<T>::type>::type type;
    +};

    +inline
    +T&&
    +forward(U&& t)
    +{
    +   return static_cast<T&&>(t);
    +}
    +
    + +

    +This has been tested by Bill, Jason and myself. +

    + +

    +It allows the following lvalue/rvalue casts: +

    + +
      +
    1. +Cast an lvalue t to an lvalue T (identity). +
    2. +
    3. +Cast an lvalue t to an rvalue T. +
    4. +
    5. +Cast an rvalue t to an rvalue T (identity). +
    6. +
    + +

    +It disallows: +

    + +
      +
    1. +Cast an rvalue t to an lvalue T. +
    2. +
    3. +Cast one type t to another type T (such as int to double). +
    4. +
    + +

    +"a." is disallowed as it can easily lead to dangling references. +"b." is disallowed as this function is meant to only change the lvalue/rvalue +characteristic of an expression. +

    + +

    +Jason has expressed concern that "b." is not dangerous and is useful in contexts +where you want to "forward" a derived type as a base type. I find this use case +neither dangerous, nor compelling. I.e. I could live with or without the "b." +constraint. Without it, forward would look like: +

    + +
    template <class T, class U,
    +   class = typename enable_if<
    +       !is_lvalue_reference<T>::value ||
    +        is_lvalue_reference<T>::value &&
    +        is_lvalue_reference<U>::value>::type>
    +inline
    +T&&
    +forward(U&& t)
    +{
    +   return static_cast<T&&>(t);
    +}
    +
    + +

    +Or possibly: +

    + +
    template <class T, class U,
    +   class = typename enable_if<
    +       !is_lvalue_reference<T>::value ||
    +        is_lvalue_reference<T>::value &&
    +        is_lvalue_reference<U>::value>::type,
    +   class = typename enable_if<
    +        is_base_of<typename __base_type<U>::type,

    Addresses UK 152

    -Due to a deliberate core language decision, the earlier called -"foundation" concept std::FunctionType had been removed in -N2773 -shortly -before the first "conceptualized" version of the WP -(N2798) -had been -prepared. This caused a break of the library, which already used this -concept in the adapted definition of std::function -(20.7 [function.objects]/2, header <functional> synopsis and -20.7.16.2 [func.wrap.func]). -

    -

    -A simple fix would be to either (a) make std::function's primary template -unconstrained or to (b) add constraints based on existing (support) concepts. -A more advanced fix would (c) introduce a new library concept. -

    -

    -The big disadvantage of (a) is, that users can define templates which -cause compiler errors during instantiation time because of under-constrainedness -and would thus violate the basic advantage of constrained -code. -

    -

    -For (b), the ideal constraints for std::function's template parameter would -be one which excludes everything else but the single provided partial -specialization that matches every "free function" type (i.e. any function -type w/o cv-qualifier-seq and w/o ref-qualifier). -Expressing such a type as as single requirement would be written as -

    -
    template<typename T>
    -requires ReferentType<T> // Eliminate cv void and function types with cv-qual-seq
    -                         //   or ref-qual (depending on core issue #749)
    -      && PointeeType<T>  // Eliminate reference types
    -      && !ObjectType<T>  // Eliminate object types
    -
    -

    -Just for completeness approach (c), which would make sense, if the -library has more reasons to constrain for free function types: -

    -
    auto concept FreeFunctionType<typename T>
    -  : ReferentType<T>, PointeeType<T>, MemberPointeeType<T>
    -{
    -  requires !ObjectType<T>;
    -}
    -
    -

    -I mention that approach because I expect that free function types belong -to the most natural type categories for every days coders. Potential -candidates in the library are addressof and class template packaged_task. +Object state is using a definition of object (instance of a class) from +outside the standard, rather than the 'region of storage' definiton in +1.8 [intro.object]p1

    -

    -Bill feels this category of entity would change sufficiently slowly -that he would be willing to take the risk. -

    +I am opposed to the proposed resolution and to the premise of the issue +in general.

    +

    +is_bind_expression and is_placeholder allow user +specializations, and in fact, this is their primary purpose.

    +Scoped allocators represent a poor trade-off for standardization, since +(1) scoped-allocator--aware containers can be implemented outside the +C++ standard library but used with its algorithms, (2) scoped +allocators only benefit a tiny proportion of the C++ community +(since few C++ programmers even use today's allocators), and (3) all C++ +users, especially the vast majority of the C++ community that won't ever +use scoped allocators are forced to cope with the interface complexity +introduced by scoped allocators. +

    -We should make it clear (either by note or normatively) that namespace -std may contain inline namespaces, and that entities specified to be -defined in std may in fact be defined in one of these inline namespaces. -(If we're going to use them for versioning, eg when TR2 comes along, -we're going to need that.) +In essence, the larger community will suffer to support a very small +subset of the community who can already implement their own +data structures outside of the standard library. Therefore, scoped +allocators should be removed from the working paper.

    +

    +For coherence and consistency with the similar concepts +Convertible/ExplicitlyConvertible, we might also consider changing +Constructible to:

    -
    void unexpected [[noreturn]] ();
    +
    auto concept Constructible<typename T, typename... Args>
    + : HasConstructor<T, Args...>, ExplicitConstructible<T, Args...>

    -Change 18.8.3.3 [terminate]: +Moreover, all emplace-related concepts in 23.2.6 [container.concepts] +should also use ExplicitConstructible instead of Constructible in the +definitions of their axioms. In fact the concepts in 23.2.6 [container.concepts] should be +corrected even if the issue is not accepted. +

    +

    +On the other hand, if the issue is not accepted, the scoped allocator +adaptors should be fixed because the following code:

Fixing that is not difficult but probably +more work than it's worth and is therefore, IMHO, one more reason in +support of the complete removal of scoped allocators.

    +I reopened this issue because I did not think that these National Body +comments were adequately addressed by marking them NAD. My understanding +is that something can be marked NAD if it is clearly a misunderstanding +or trivial, but a substantive issue that has any technical merit +requires a disposition that addresses the concerns. +

    +

    +The notes in the NB comment list (US 65 & US 74.1) say that: +

    +
      +
    1. +this issue has not introduced any new arguments not previously discussed, +
    2. +
    3. +the vote (4-9-3) was not a consensus for removing scoped allocators, +
    4. +
    5. +the issue is resolved by +N2840. +
    6. +
    +

    +My opinion is: +

    +
      +
    1. +there are new arguments in both comments regarding concepts (which were +not present in the library when the scoped allocator proposal was voted +in), +
    2. +
    3. +the vote was clearly not a consensus for removal, but just saying there +was a vote does not provide a rationale, +
    4. +
    5. +I do not believe that N2840 addresses these comments (although it does +many other things and was voted in with strong approval). +
    6. +

    -In the synopsis of 18.8.6 [except.nested] and the definition area change: +My motivation to open the issue was to ensure that the NB comments were +adequately addressed in a way that would not risk a "no" vote on our +FCD. If there are responses to the technical concerns raised, then +perhaps they should be recorded. If the members of the NB who authored +the comments are satisfied with N2840 and the other disposition remarks +in the comment list, then I am sure they will say so. In either case, +this issue can be closed very quickly in Frankfurt, and hopefully will +have helped make us more confident of approval with little effort. If in +fact there is controversy, my thought is that it is better to know now +rather than later so there is more time to deal with it.

    -One of the motivating examples for introducing requirements-aliases was to -simplify the wording of the inner_product requirements. As the paper -adopting the feature and constrained wording for the library went through in -the same meeting, it was not possible to make the change at the time. The -simpler form should be adopted now though. Similarly, most the other -numerical algorithms can benefit from a minor cleanup. -

    -Note that in each case, the second more generalised form of the algorithm -does not benefit, as there are already named constraints supplied by the -template type parameters. +The class templates unary/binary_negate need constraining and move support.

    [ -2009-05-02 Daniel adds: -]

    - - -

    -one part of the suggested resolution suggests the removal of the -MoveConstructible<T> requirement from -inner_product. According to 26.7.2 [inner.product] +Ideally these classes would be deprecated, allowing unary/binary_function to +also be deprecated. However, until a generic negate adaptor is introduced +that can negate any Callable type, they must be supported so should be +constrained. Likewise, they should be movable, and support adopting a +move-only predicate type.

    - -
    -Computes its result by initializing the accumulator acc with the -initial value init -
    -

    -this step requires at least MoveConstructible. +In order to preserve ABI compatibility, new rvalue overloads are supplied in +preference to changing the existing pass-by-const-ref to pass-by-value.

    -

    -Therefore I strongly suggest to take this removal back (Note also -that the corresponding overload with a functor argument still has -the same MoveConstructible<T> requirement). +Do not consider the issue of forwarding mutable lvalues at this point, +although remain open to another issue on the topic.

    -I am opposed to the proposed resolution and to the premise of the issue -in general. The traits's default definitions should NOT derive from -integral_constant, because this is harmful, as it misleads people into -thinking that is_bind_expression<E> always derives from -integral_constant, whereas it may not. +There is concern that complicating the solution +to preserve the ABI seems unnecessary, +since we're not in general preserving the ABI.

    -is_bind_expression and is_placeholder allow user -specializations, and in fact, this is their primary purpose. Such user -specializations may not derive from integral_constant, and the -places where is_bind_expression and is_placeholder are -used intentionally do not require such derivation. +We would prefer a separate paper consolidating all Clause 20 +issues that are for the purpose of providing constrained versions +of the existing facilities.

    -The long-term approach here is to switch to -BindExpression<E> and Placeholder<P> -explicit concepts, of course, but until that happens, I say leave them -alone. +Move to Open.

    -Scoped allocators represent a poor trade-off for standardization, since -(1) scoped-allocator--aware containers can be implemented outside the -C++ standard library but used with its algorithms, (2) scoped -allocators only benefit a tiny proportion of the C++ community -(since few C++ programmers even use today's allocators), and (3) all C++ -users, especially the vast majority of the C++ community that won't ever -use scoped allocators are forced to cope with the interface complexity -introduced by scoped allocators. -

    -In essence, the larger community will suffer to support a very small -subset of the community who can already implement their own -data structures outside of the standard library. Therefore, scoped -allocators should be removed from the working paper. +A function with no throw spec, and no documentation, is in general a RET +function. It may return, it may end the program, or it may throw. When we +specify a function with an empty throw spec:

    + +
    void f() throw();
    +
    +

    -Some evidence of the complexity introduced by scoped allocators: +We are saying that f() is an RE function: It may return or end +the program, but it will not throw.

    -20.3.3 [pairs], 20.5 [tuple]: Large increase in the -number of pair and tuple constructors. +I posit that there are very few places in the library half of the standard +where we intend for functions to be able to end the program (call terminate). +And none of those places where we do say terminate could be called, +do we currently say "Throws: Nothing.".

    +

    -23 [containers]: Confusing "AllocatableElement" requirements throughout. +I believe that if we define "Throws: Nothing." to mean R, +we will both clarify many, many places in the standard, and give us a +good rationale for choosing between "Throws: Nothing." (R) +and throw() (RE) in the future. Indeed, this may give us motivation +to change several throw()s to "Throws: Nothing.".

However, + the cited core-language section in paragraph 4 specifies undefined behavior + for the use of such pointer values.

    +

    -The class type_index should be removed; it provides no additional -functionality beyond providing appropriate concept maps. +See also +N2693.

    +We agree with the intent of the proposed resolution. +We would like input from garbage collection specialists.

    -std::type_index can avoid the lifetime issues with type_info when the -DLL that has produced the type_info object is unloaded.

    -A default implementation should be supplied for the post-increment -operator to simplify implementation of iterators by users. +I have the impression that even the wording of current draft +N2857 +does insufficiently express the intent of vector's +reallocation strategy. This has produced not too old library +implementations which release memory in the clear() function +and even modern articles about C++ programming cultivate +the belief that clear is allowed to do exactly this. A typical +example is something like this:

    +
    const int buf_size = ...;
    +std::vector<T> buf(buf_size);
    +for (int i = 0; i < some_condition; ++i) {
    +  buf.resize(buf_size);
    +  write_or_read_data(buf.data());
    +  buf.clear(); // Ensure that the next round get's 'zeroed' elements
    +}
    +

    -Copy the Effects clause into the concept description as the default -implementation. Assumes a default value for postincrement_result +where still the myth is ubiquitous that buf might be +allowed to reallocate it's memory *inside* the for loop. +

    +

    +IMO the problem is due to the fact, that

    1. +the actual memory-reallocation stability of std::vector +is explained in 23.3.6.2 [vector.capacity]/3 and /6 which +are describing just the effects of the reserve +function, but in many examples (like above) there +is no explicit call to reserve involved. Further-more +23.3.6.2 [vector.capacity]/6 does only mention insertions +and never mentions the consequences of erasing +elements. +
    2. +
    3. +

      +the effects clause of std::vector's erase overloads in +23.3.6.4 [vector.modifiers]/4 is silent about capacity changes. This +easily causes a misunderstanding, because the counter +parting insert functions described in 23.3.6.4 [vector.modifiers]/2 +explicitly say, that +

      +

      +It requires a complex argumentation chain about four +different places in the standard to provide the - possibly +weak - proof that calling clear() also does never change +the capacity of the std::vector container. Since std::vector +is the de-facto replacement of C99's dynamic arrays this +type is near to a built-in type and it's specification should +be clear enough that usual programmers can trust their +own reading. +

    Discussion:

    -At the part without throw, "Throws: Nothing." should be described. +The current formulation of 30.2.2 [thread.req.exception]/2 reads:

    - +
    +The error_category of the error_code reported by such an +exception's code() member function is as specified in the error +condition Clause. +

    -Add "Throws: Nothing." to the following. +This constraint on the code's associated error_categor means an +implementation must perform a mapping from the system-generated +error to a generic_category() error code. The problems with this +include:

    • -30.3.1.6 [thread.thread.static] p1 -
    • -
    • -30.4.3.1 [thread.lock.guard] p4 +The mapping is always performed, even if the resultant value is + never used.
    • -30.4.3.2.1 [thread.lock.unique.cons] p6 +

      +The original error produced by the operating system is lost. +

    • +
    +

    +The latter was one of Peter Dimov's main objections (in a private +email discussion) to the original error_code-only design, and led to +the creation of error_condition in the first place. Specifically, +error_code and error_condition are intended to perform the following +roles: +

    +
    • -30.5.1 [thread.condition.condvar] p7 and p8 +error_code holds the original error produced by the operating + system.
    • -30.5.2 [thread.condition.condvarany] p6, p7, p19, p21 and p25 +error_condition and the generic category provide a set of well + known error constants that error codes may be tested against.
    +

    +Any mapping determining correspondence of the returned error code to +the conditions listed in the error condition clause falls under the +"latitude" granted to implementors in 19.5.1.5 [syserr.errcat.objects]. +(Although obviously their latitude is restricted a little by the +need to match the right error condition when returning an error code +from a library function.) +

    +

    +It is important that this error_code/error_condition usage is done +correctly for the thread library since it is likely to set the +pattern for future TR libraries that interact with the operating +system. +

    Addresses UK 246

    -The content of this sub-clause is purely trying to describe in words the -effect of the requires clauses on these operations, now that we have -Concepts. As such, the description is more confusing than the signature -itself. The semantic for these functions is adequately covered in the -requirements tables in 23.2.4 [associative.reqmts]. +Std::bitset is a homogeneous container-like sequence of bits, yet it does +not model the Range concept so cannot be used with the new for-loop syntax. +It is the only such type in the library that does NOT support the new for +loop. +

    +

    +The obvious reason is that bitset does not support iterators. +

    +

    +At least two reasonable solutions are available: +

    +
      +
    1. +Add an iterator interface to bitset, bringing its interface close to that +of std::array +
    2. +
    3. +Provide an unspecified concept_map for Range<bitset>. +
    4. +
    +

    +The latter will still need some kind of iterator-like adapter for bitset, +but gives implementers greater freedom on the details. E.g. begin/end return +some type that simply invokes operator[] on the object it wraps, and +increments its index on operator++. A vendor can settle for InputIterator +support, rather than wrapping up a full RandomAccessIterator. +

    +

    +I have a mild preference for option (ii) as I think it is less work to +specify at this stage of the process, although (i) is probably more useful +in the long run. +

    +

    +Hmm, my wording looks a little woolly, as it does not say what the element +type of the range is. Do I get a range of bool, bitset<N>::reference, or +something else entirely? +

    +

    +I guess most users will assume the behaviour of reference, but expect to +work with bool. Bool is OK for read-only traversal, but you really need to +take a reference to a bitset::reference if you want to write back.

    -To realize it's designated task, the algorithm has to invoke the -Callable aspect of g and needs to perform some algebra involving -it's min()/max() limits to compute another index value that -at this point is converted into Iter::difference_type. This is so, -because 24.2.6 [random.access.iterators] uses this type as argument -of it's algebraic operators. Alternatively consider the equivalent -iterator algorithms in 24.4 [iterator.operations] with the same result. +In 853 our resolution is changing the signature by adding two +defaulting arguments to 3 calls. In principle, this means that ABI breakage +is not an issue, while API is preserved.

    -This argument leads us to the conclusion that we also need -Convertible<Rand::result_type, Iter::difference_type> here. +With that observation, it would be very nice to use the new ability to +supply default template parameters to function templates to collapse all 3 +signatures into 1.

    -Freestanding implementations do not (necessarily) have - support for multiple threads (see 1.10 [intro.multithread]). - Applications and libraries may want to optimize for the - absence of threads. I therefore propose a preprocessor - macro to indicate whether multiple threads can occur. +It is not currently possible to construct tuple literal values, +even if the elements are all literal types. This is because parameters +are passed to constructor by reference.

    -

    -There is ample prior implementation experience for this - feature with various spellings of the macro name. For - example, gcc implicitly defines _REENTRANT - if multi-threading support is selected on the compiler - command-line. +An alternative would be to pass all constructor arguments by value, where it +is known that *all* elements are literal types. This can be determined with +concepts, although note that the negative constraint really requires +factoring out a separate concept, as there is no way to provide an 'any of +these fails' constraint inline.

    -

    -While this is submitted as a library issue, it may be more - appropriate to add the macro in 16.8 cpp.predefined in the - core language. +Note that we will have similar issues with pair (and +tuple constructors from pair) although I am steering +clear of that class while other constructor-related issues settle.

    Discussion:

    - In 20.8.13.7 [util.dynamic.safety], get_pointer_safety() purports -to define behavior for - non-safely derived pointers (3.7.4.3 [basic.stc.dynamic.safety]). However, - the cited core-language section in paragraph 4 specifies undefined behavior - for the use of such pointer values. This seems an unfortunate near-contradiction. - I suggest to specify the term relaxed pointer safety in - the core language section and refer to it from the library description. - This issue deals with the library part, the corresponding core issue (c++std-core-13940) - deals with the core modifications. +The copy constructor for the tuple template is constrained. This seems an +unusual strategy, as the copy constructor will be implicitly deleted if the +constraints are not met. This is exactly the same effect as requesting an +=default; constructor. The advantage of the latter is that it retains +triviality, and provides support for tuples as literal types if issue +1116 is also accepted.

    -

    -See also -N2693. +Actually, it might be worth checking with core if a constrained copy +constructor is treated as a constructor template, and as such does not +suppress the implicit generation of the copy constructor which would hide +the template in this case.

    Discussion:

    -Message c++std-lib-23182 led to a discussion in which several people -expressed interest in being able to convert an auto_ptr to a -unique_ptr without the need to call release. Below is -wording to accomplish this. +As currently formulated, the standard doesn't require that there +is ever a flush of cout, etc. (This implies, for example, that +the classical hello, world program may have no output.) In the +current draft +(N2798), +there is a requirement that the objects +be constructed before main, and before the dynamic +initialization of any non-local objects defined after the +inclusion of <iostream> in the same translation unit. The only +requirement that I can find concerning flushing, however, is in +27.5.2.1.6 [ios::Init], where the destructor of the last +std::ios_base::Init object flushes. But there is, as far as I +can see, no guarantee that such an object ever exists. +

    +

    +Also, the wording in [iostreams.objects] says that: +

    +
    +The objects +are constructed and the associations are established at some +time prior to or during the first time an object of class +ios_base::Init is constructed, and in any case before the body +of main begins execution. +
    +

    +In 27.5.2.1.6 [ios::Init], however, as an +effect of the constructor, it says that

    +
    +If init_cnt is zero, +the function stores the value one in init_cnt, then constructs +and initializes the objects cin, cout, cerr, clog +wcin, wcout, wcerr, and wclog" +
    -

    [ -Batavia (2009-05): -]

    +

    +which seems to forbid earlier +construction. +

    Discussion:

    -I have the impression that even the wording of current draft -N2857 -does insufficiently express the intent of vector's -reallocation strategy. This has produced not too old library -implementations which release memory in the clear() function -and even modern articles about C++ programming cultivate -the belief that clear is allowed to do exactly this. A typical -example is something like this: -

    - -
    const int buf_size = ...;
    -std::vector<T> buf(buf_size);
    -for (int i = 0; i < some_condition; ++i) {
    -  buf.resize(buf_size);
    -  write_or_read_data(buf.data());
    -  buf.clear(); // Ensure that the next round get's 'zeroed' elements
    -}
    -
    -

    -where still the myth is ubiquitous that buf might be -allowed to reallocate it's memory *inside* the for loop. -

    -

    -IMO the problem is due to the fact, that -

    - -
      -
    1. -the actual memory-reallocation stability of std::vector -is explained in 23.3.6.2 [vector.capacity]/3 and /6 which -are describing just the effects of the reserve -function, but in many examples (like above) there -is no explicit call to reserve involved. Further-more -23.3.6.2 [vector.capacity]/6 does only mention insertions -and never mentions the consequences of erasing -elements. -
    2. -
    3. -

      -the effects clause of std::vector's erase overloads in -23.3.6.4 [vector.modifiers]/4 is silent about capacity changes. This -easily causes a misunderstanding, because the counter -parting insert functions described in 23.3.6.4 [vector.modifiers]/2 -explicitly say, that +The equal member function of istreambuf_iterator is +declared const, but takes its argument by non-const reference.

      -
      -Causes reallocation if the new size is greater than the -old capacity. If no reallocation happens, all the iterators -and references before the insertion point remain valid. -

      -It requires a complex argumentation chain about four -different places in the standard to provide the - possibly -weak - proof that calling clear() also does never change -the capacity of the std::vector container. Since std::vector -is the de-facto replacement of C99's dynamic arrays this -type is near to a built-in type and it's specification should -be clear enough that usual programmers can trust their -own reading. +This is not compatible with the operator== free function overload, which is +defined in terms of calling equal yet takes both arguments by reference to +const.

    Discussion:

    -However the intent is for: +istream_iterator and istreambuf_iterator should support literal sentinel +values. The default constructor is frequently used to terminate ranges, and +could easily be a literal value for istreambuf_iterator, and +istream_iterator when iterating value types. A little more work using a +suitably sized/aligned char-array for storage (or an updated component like +boost::optional proposed for TR2) would allow istream_iterator to support +constexpr default constructor in all cases, although we might leave this +tweak as a QoI issue. Note that requiring constexpr be supported also +allows us to place no-throw guarantees on this constructor too.

    -
    std::system_error se(std::errc::not_a_directory, "In FooBar");
    -...
    -se.what();  // returns something along the lines of:
    -            //   "In FooBar: Not a directory"
    -
    - -

    -The way the constructor postconditions are set up now, to achieve both -conformance, and the desired intent in the what() string, the -system_error constructor must store "In FooBar" in the base class, -and then form the desired output each time what() is called. Or -alternatively, store "In FooBar" in the base class, and store the desired -what() string in the derived system_error, and override -what() to return the string in the derived part. -

    +

    [ +2009-06-02 Daniel adds: +]

    -

    -Both of the above implementations seem suboptimal to me. In one I'm computing -a new string every time what() is called. And since what() -can't propagate exceptions, the client may get a different string on different -calls. -

    +

    -The second solution requires storing two strings instead of one. +I agree with the usefulness of the issue suggestion, but we need +to ensure that istream_iterator can satisfy be literal if needed. +Currently this is not clear, because 24.6.1 [istream.iterator]/3 declares +a copy constructor and a destructor and explains their semantic in +24.6.1.1 [istream.iterator.cons]/3+4.

    -

    -What I would like to be able to do is form the desired what() string -once in the system_error constructor, and store that in the -base class. Now I'm: +The prototype semantic specification is ok (although it seems +somewhat redundant to me, because the semantic doesn't say +anything interesting in both cases), but for support of trivial class +types we also need a trivial copy constructor and destructor as of +9 [class]/6. The current non-informative specification of these +two special members suggests to remove their explicit declaration +in the class and add explicit wording that says that if T is +trivial a default constructed iterator is also literal, alternatively it +would be possible to mark both as defaulted and add explicit +(memberwise) wording that guarantees that they are trivial.

    - -
      -
    1. Computing the desired what() only once.
    2. -
    3. The base class what() definition is sufficient and nothrow.
    4. -
    5. I'm not storing multiple strings.
    6. -
    -

    -This is smaller code, smaller data, and faster. +Btw.: I'm quite sure that the istreambuf_iterator additions to +ensure triviality are not sufficient as suggested, because the +library does not yet give general guarantees that a defaulted +special member declaration makes this member also trivial. +Note that e.g. the atomic types do give a general statement!

    -

    -ios_base::failure has the same issue. +Finally there is a wording issue: There does not exist something +like a "literal constructor". The core language uses the term +"constexpr constructor" for this.

    -Here's a common example: We have many ISV customers who have built lots of -in-house STL-like containers. Imagine that, for the past ten years, the user -has been happily using his XYZCorpContainer<T> that has begin() and end() -and an iterator typedef, and indeed satisfies nearly all of Container, -though maybe not quite all just like valarray. The user upgrades to a -range-enabled version of a library, and now lib_algo( xyz.begin(), xyz.end()); -no longer works -- compiler error. +What about

    +
    make_exception_ptr
    +

    -Even though XYZCorpContainer matches the pre-conceptized version of the -algorithm, and has been working for years, it appears the user has to write -at least this: +in similarity to make_pair and make_tuple, make_error_code and +make_error_condition, or make_shared? Or, if a stronger symmetry to +current_exception is preferred:

    -
    template<class T> concept_map Range<XYZCorpContainer<T>> {};
     
    -template<class T> concept_map Range<const XYZCorpContainer<T>> {};

    make_exception
     

    -Is that correct? -

    -But he may actually have to write this as we do for initializer list: +We have not a single create_* function in the library, it was always +make_* used.

    -A user container will satisfy the MemberContainer concept, which IS auto. -There is a concept_map for all MemberContainers to Container, and then a -further concept_map for all Container to Range, so the stated problem is not -actually true.

    -The current formulation of 30.2.2 [thread.req.exception]/2 reads: +IIUC, +N2844 +means that lvalues will no longer bind to rvalue references. +Therefore, the current specification of list::splice (list +operations 23.3.4.4 [list.ops]) will be a breaking change of behaviour for existing +programs. That is because we changed the signature to swallow via an rvalue +reference rather than the lvalue reference used in 03.

    -The error_category of the error_code reported by such an -exception's code() member function is as specified in the error -condition Clause. -

    -The latter was one of Peter Dimov's main objections (in a private -email discussion) to the original error_code-only design, and led to -the creation of error_condition in the first place.

    -
      -
    • -error_code holds the original error produced by the operating - system. -
    • -
    • -error_condition and the generic category provide a set of well - known error constants that error codes may be tested against. -
    • -

    -Any mapping determining correspondence of the returned error code to -the conditions listed in the error condition clause falls under the -"latitude" granted to implementors in 19.5.1.5 [syserr.errcat.objects]. -(Although obviously their latitude is restricted a little by the -need to match the right error condition when returning an error code -from a library function.) +Option B. Change rvalue reference back to (non-const) +lvalue-reference overload in each case

    -It is important that this error_code/error_condition usage is done -correctly for the thread library since it is likely to set the -pattern for future TR libraries that interact with the operating -system. +Option C.

    Discussion:

    -All the set operation algorithms require a CopyConstructible predicate, with -the exception of std::includes. This looks like a typo as much as anything, -given the general library requirement that predicates are copy -constructible, and wording style of other set-like operations. +See the thread starting with c++std-lib-23725 for more discussion.

    Discussion:

    -Quoting working paper for reference (25.3.4 [alg.foreach]): +This is probably editorial. +

    +

    +The following items should be removed from the draft, because they're +redundant with Annex D, and they arguably make some *.h headers +non-deprecated:

    - -
    -
    template<InputIterator Iter, Callable<auto, Iter::reference> Function>
    -  requires CopyConstructible<Function>
    -  Function for_each(Iter first, Iter last, Function f);
    -
    -

    -1 Effects: Applies f to the result of dereferencing every iterator in the - range [first,last), starting from first and proceeding to last - 1. +18.4.2 [stdinth] (regarding <stdint.h>)

    -2 Returns: f. +26.3.2 [fenv] (regarding <fenv.h>

    -3 Complexity: Applies f exactly last - first times. +Line 3 of 26.8 [c.math] (regarding <tgmath.h>)

    -
    -
    -

    -P2 implies the passed object f should be invoked at each stage, rather than -some copy of f. This is important if the return value is to usefully -accumulate changes. So the requirements are an object of type Function can -be passed-by-value, invoked multiple times, and then return by value. In -this case, MoveConstructible is sufficient. This would open support for -move-only functors, which might become important in concurrent code as you -can assume there are no other references (copies) of a move-only type and so -freely use them concurrently without additional locks. +26.4.11 [cmplxh] (regarding <complex.h>, though the note in this subclause is not redundant)

    -Pete suggests we may want to look at this in a broader context -involving other algorithms. -We should also consider the implications of parallelism. -

    -

    -Move to Open, and recommend the issue be deferred until after the next -Committee Draft is issued. -

    +While searching for stdint in the CD, I found that <stdint.h> is also +mentioned in 3.9.1 [basic.fundamental] /5. It guess it should refer to +<cstdint> instead.

    Proposed resolution:

    -Change 25.2 [algorithms.syn] and 25.3.4 [alg.foreach]: +Remove the section 18.4.2 [stdinth]. +

    +

    +Remove the section 26.3.2 [fenv]. +

    +

    +Remove 26.8 [c.math], p3:

    -
    template<InputIterator Iter, Callable<auto, Iter::reference> Function>
    -  requires CopyConstructible MoveConstructible<Function>
    -  Function for_each(Iter first, Iter last, Function f);
    -
    +
    +-3- The header <tgmath.h> effectively includes the headers <complex.h> +and <math.h>. +
    +

    +Remove the section 26.4.11 [cmplxh]. +

    Discussion:

    -According to table 87 (n2857) the expression X::key_equal for an unordered -container shall return a value of type Pred, where Pred is an equivalence -relation. +As of +N2857 +18.8.5 [propagation]/5, the implementation-defined type +exception_ptr does provide the following ways to check whether +it is a null value:

    - +
    void f(std::exception_ptr p) {
    +  p == nullptr;
    +  p == 0;
    +  p == exception_ptr();
    +}
    +

    -However, all 4 containers constrain Pred to be merely a Predicate, -and not EquivalenceRelation. +This is rather cumbersome way of checking for the null value +and I suggest to require support for evaluation in a boolean +context like so:

    -

    [ -Batavia (2009-05): -]

    +
    void g(std::exception_ptr p) {
    +  if (p) {}
    +  !p;

    +
    -
    -

    -We agree with the proposed resolution. -

    + +

    Proposed resolution:

    -Move to Review. +In section 18.8.5 [propagation] insert a new paragraph between p.5 and p.6:

    + +
    + +An object e of type exception_ptr can be contextually converted to bool. +The effect shall be as if e != exception_ptr() had been evaluated in place +of e. There shall be no implicit conversion to arithmetic type, to +enumeration type or to pointer type. +

    Discussion:

    -For unordered containers, replace +It was recently mentioned in a newsgroup article +http://groups.google.de/group/comp.std.c++/msg/f82022aff68edf3d +that the specification of the member function rethrow_nested() of the +class nested_exception is incomplete, specifically it remains unclear +what happens, if member nested_ptr() returns a null value. In +18.8.6 [except.nested] we find only the following paragraph related to that:

    -
    Predicate<auto, Key, Key> Compare = less<Key>
    -
    +
    void rethrow_nested() const; // [[noreturn]]
    +
    +
    +-4- Throws: the stored exception captured by this nested_exception object. +
    +

    -with +This is a problem, because it is possible to create an object of +nested_exception with exactly such a state, e.g.

    -
    EquivalenceRelation<auto, Key, Key> Compare = less<Key>
    +
    #include <exception>
    +#include <iostream>
    +
    +int main() try {
    +  std::nested_exception e; // OK, calls current_exception() and stores it's null value
    +  e.rethrow_nested(); // ?
    +  std::cout << "A" << std::endl;
    +}
    +catch(...) {
    +  std::cout << "B" << std::endl;
    +}
     

    -As in the following declarations: +I suggest to follow the proposal of the reporter, namely to invoke +terminate() if nested_ptr() return a null value of exception_ptr instead +of relying on the fallback position of undefined behavior. This would +be consistent to the behavior of a throw; statement when no +exception is being handled.

    -   class multimap {
    -     ...

    - }
    -
    - +
    +All the specified overloads must return real (i.e., non-complex) values, +specifically, the nested value_type of effectively promoted arguments. +

    - 23.4.3p2 Class template set [set] +(This has no effect on arg, imag, norm, real: +they are real-valued anyway.)

    -
     namespace std {
    -   template <ValueType Key, PredicateStrictWeakOrder<auto, Key, Key> Compare = less<Key>,
    -             Allocator Alloc = allocator<Key> >

    -
    - - +

    Rationale:

    - 23.4.4p2 Class template multiset [multiset] +Mathematically, conj() and proj(), like the transcendental functions, are +complex-valued in general but map the (extended) real line to itself. +In fact, both functions act as identity on the reals. +A typical user will expect conj() and proj() to preserve this essential +mathematical property in the same way as exp(), sin(), etc. +A typical use of conj(), e.g., is the generic scalar product of n-vectors:

    -
     namespace std {
    -   template <ValueType Key, PredicateStrictWeakOrder<auto, Key, Key> Compare = less<Key>,
    -             Allocator Alloc = allocator<Key> >
    -     requires NothrowDestructible<Key> && CopyConstructible<Compare>
    -           && AllocatableElement<Alloc, Compare, const Compare&>
    -           && AllocatableElement<Alloc, Compare, Compare&&>
    -   class multiset {
    -     ...
    -   };
    - }
    -
    +
    template<typename T>
    +inline T
    +scalar_product(size_t n, T const* x, T const* y) {
    +  T result = 0;
    +  for (size_t i = 0; i < n; ++i)
    +    result += x[i] * std::conj(y[i]);
    +  return result;
    +}
    +

    - 23.5 Unordered associative containers [unord] +This will work equally well for real and complex floating-point types T if +conj() returns T. It will not work with real types if conj() +returns complex values.

    - 1 Headers <unordered_map> and <unordered_set>: +Instead, the implementation of scalar_product becomes either less efficient +and less useful (if a complex result is always returned), or unnecessarily +complicated (if overloaded versions with proper return types are defined). +In the second case, the real-argument overload of conj() cannot be used. +In fact, it must be avoided.

    - Header <unordered_map> synopsis +Overloaded conj() and proj() are principally needed in generic programming. +All such use cases will benefit from the proposed return type requirement, +in a similar way as the scalar_product example. +The requirement will not harm use cases where a complex return value +is expected, because of implicit conversion to complex. +Without the proposed return type guarantee, I find overloaded versions +of conj() and proj() not only useless but actually troublesome.

    Discussion:

    -Std::bitset is a homogeneous container-like sequence of bits, yet it does -not model the Range concept so cannot be used with the new for-loop syntax. -It is the only such type in the library that does NOT support the new for -loop. -

    -

    -The obvious reason is that bitset does not support iterators. -

    -

    -At least two reasonable solutions are available: -

    -
      -
    1. -Add an iterator interface to bitset, bringing its interface close to that -of std::array -
    2. -
    3. -Provide an unspecified concept_map for Range<bitset>. -
    4. -
    -

    -The latter will still need some kind of iterator-like adapter for bitset, -but gives implementers greater freedom on the details. E.g. begin/end return -some type that simply invokes operator[] on the object it wraps, and -increments its index on operator++. A vendor can settle for InputIterator -support, rather than wrapping up a full RandomAccessIterator. -

    -

    -I have a mild preference for option (ii) as I think it is less work to -specify at this stage of the process, although (i) is probably more useful -in the long run. +Many of the basic_string operator+ overloads return an rvalue-reference. Is +that really intended?

    -Hmm, my wording looks a little woolly, as it does not say what the element -type of the range is. Do I get a range of bool, bitset<N>::reference, or -something else entirely? +I'm considering it might be a mild performance tweak to avoid making +un-necessary copies of a cheaply movable type, but it opens risk to dangling +references in code like:

    + +
    auto && s = string{"x"} + string{y};
    +
    +

    -I guess most users will assume the behaviour of reference, but expect to -work with bool. Bool is OK for read-only traversal, but you really need to -take a reference to a bitset::reference if you want to write back. +and I'm not sure about:

    Discussion:

    + +

    Addresses US 88

    + +

    +The "lockfree" facilities do not tell the programmer enough. +

    + +

    +There are 2 problems here. +First, at least on x86, +it's less important to me whether some integral types are lock free +than what is the largest type I can pass to atomic and have it be lock-free. +For example, if long longs are not lock-free, +ATOMIC_INTEGRAL_LOCK_FREE is probably 1, +but I'd still be interested in knowing whether longs are always lock-free. +Or if long longs at any address are lock-free, +I'd expect ATOMIC_INTEGRAL_LOCK_FREE to be 2, +but I may actually care whether I have access to +the cmpxchg16b instruction. +None of the support here helps with that question. +(There are really 2 related questions here: +what alignment requirements are there for lock-free access; +and what processor is the program actually running on, +as opposed to what it was compiled for?) +

    + +

    +Second, having atomic_is_lock_free only apply to individual objects +is pretty useless +(except, as Lawrence Crowl points out, +for throwing an exception when an object is unexpectedly not lock-free). +I'm likely to want to use its result to decide what algorithm to use, +and that algorithm is probably going to allocate new memory +containing atomic objects and then try to act on them. +If I can't predict the lock-freedom of the new object +by checking the lock-freedom of an existing object, +I may discover after starting the algorithm that I can't continue. +

    [ -Batavia (2009-05): +2009-06-16 Jeffrey Yasskin adds: ]

    +

    -Alisdair would prefer to factor some of the repeated text, -but modulo a corner case or two, -he believes the proposed wording is otherwise substantially correct. +To solve the first problem, I think 2 macros would help: +MAX_POSSIBLE_LOCK_FREE_SIZE and MAX_GUARANTEED_LOCK_FREE_SIZE, +which expand to the maximum value of sizeof(T) for which atomic may +(or will, respectively) use lock-free operations. +Lawrence points out that this +"relies heavily on implementations +using word-size compare-swap on sub-word-size types, +which in turn requires address modulation." +He expects that to be the end state anyway, so it doesn't bother him much.

    +

    -Move to Open. +To solve the second, +I think one could specify that equally aligned objects of the same type +will return the same value from atomic_is_lock_free(). +I don't know how to specify "equal alignment". +Lawrence suggests an additional function, atomic_is_always_lock_free().

      -Change 20.6.4 [meta.unary]/2 as indicated: +I was thinking about how to implement this in gcc, +and I believe that we'll want to overload most of the functions +on volatile and non-volatile. +Here's why:

      -Each of these templates shall be a UnaryTypeTrait (20.6.1), -publicly derived directly or indirectly from true_type if the -corresponding condition is true, otherwise from false_type -where its BaseCharacteristic shall be true_type if the -corresponding condition is true, otherwise false_type. -

      -
      -Each of these templates shall be a BinaryTypeTrait (20.6.1), -publicly derived directly or indirectly from true_type if the -corresponding condition is true, otherwise from false_type -where its BaseCharacteristic shall be true_type if the -corresponding condition is true, otherwise false_type. -

    -It is not currently possible to construct tuple literal values, -even if the elements are all literal types. This is because parameters -are passed to constructor by reference. +The header <iomanip> synopsis in 27.7 [iostream.format] specifies

    -An alternative would be to pass all constructor arguments by value, where it -is known that *all* elements are literal types. This can be determined with -concepts, although note that the negative constraint really requires -factoring out a separate concept, as there is no way to provide an 'any of -these fails' constraint inline. +The argument types should be streamsize, as in class ios_base +(see 27.5.2 [ios.base]):

    -The copy constructor for the tuple template is constrained. This seems an -unusual strategy, as the copy constructor will be implicitly deleted if the -constraints are not met. This is exactly the same effect as requesting an -=default; constructor. The advantage of the latter is that it retains -triviality, and provides support for tuples as literal types if issue -1116 is also accepted. -

    -

    -Actually, it might be worth checking with core if a constrained copy -constructor is treated as a constructor template, and as such does not -suppress the implicit generation of the copy constructor which would hide -the template in this case. -

    + +

    UK 327 Description

    +

    Not clear what + the specification for error condition + resource_deadlock_would_occur means. It is perfectly + possible for this thread to own the mutex without setting + owns to true on this specific lock object. It is also + possible for lock operations to succeed even if the thread + does own the mutex, if the mutex is recursive. Likewise, if + the mutex is not recursive and the mutex has been locked + externally, it is not always possible to know that this + error condition should be raised, depending on the host + operating system facilities. It is possible that 'i.e.' was + supposed to be 'e.g.' and that suggests that recursive + locks are not allowed. That makes sense, as the + exposition-only member owns is boolean and not a integer to + count recursive locks.

    + +

    UK 327 Suggestion

    +

    Add a precondition !owns. Change the 'i.e.' + in the error condition to be 'e.g.' to allow for this + condition to propogate deadlock detection by the host OS.

    +

    UK 327 Notes

    +

    Create an issue. Assigned to Lawrence Crowl. Note: not sure what try_lock + means for recursive locks when you are the owner. POSIX has language on + this, which should ideally be followed. Proposed fix is not quite right, for + example, try_lock should have different wording from lock.

    + +

    UK 328 Description

    + +

    There is a missing precondition that owns + is true, or an if(owns) test is missing from the effect + clause

    -As currently formulated, the standard doesn't require that there -is ever a flush of cout, etc. (This implies, for example, that -the classical hello, world program may have no output.) In the -current draft -(N2798), -there is a requirement that the objects -be constructed before main, and before the dynamic -initialization of any non-local objects defined after the -inclusion of <iostream> in the same translation unit. The only -requirement that I can find concerning flushing, however, is in -27.5.2.1.6 [ios::Init], where the destructor of the last -std::ios_base::Init object flushes. But there is, as far as I -can see, no guarantee that such an object ever exists. -

    -

    -Also, the wording in [iostreams.objects] says that: -

    -
    -The objects -are constructed and the associations are established at some -time prior to or during the first time an object of class -ios_base::Init is constructed, and in any case before the body -of main begins execution. -
    -

    -In 27.5.2.1.6 [ios::Init], however, as an -effect of the constructor, it says that -

    -
    -If init_cnt is zero, -the function stores the value one in init_cnt, then constructs -and initializes the objects cin, cout, cerr, clog -wcin, wcout, wcerr, and wclog" -
    -

    -which seems to forbid earlier -construction. -

    +

    Addresses UK 331

    -

    -(Note that with these changes, the exposition only "static -int init_cnt" in ios_base::Init can be dropped.) -

    -

    -Of course, a determined programmer can still inhibit the -flush with things like: -

    -
    new std::ios_base::Init ;       //  never deleted 
    -
    -

    -or (in a function): -

    -
    std::ios_base::Init ensureConstruction ; 
    -//  ... 
    -exit( EXIT_SUCCESS ) ;

    -Perhaps some words somewhere to the effect that all -std::ios_base::Init objects should have static lifetime -would be in order. -

    Description

    +

    Not clear what + it means for a public constructor to be 'exposition only'. + If the intent is purely to support the library calling this + constructor then it can be made private and accessed + through friendship. Otherwise it should be documented for + public consumption.

    Description

    + +

    It is possible + to transfer ownership of the asynchronous result from one + unique_future instance to another via the move-constructor. + However, it is not possible to transfer it back, and nor is + it possible to create a default-constructed unique_future + instance to use as a later move target.

The C library specification makes no +statement regarding the value of HUGE_VAL and friends, which +potentially raises the same compatibility issue as in the above case of +unsigned integers. +In addition, neither C nor C++ define symbolic constants for the maximum +representable floating-point values (they only do so only for the maximum +representable finite floating-point values), which raises a +usability +issue (it would be hard for the programmer to check the result of +num_get against overflow).

    -I would suggest adding the extra concept_map is the right way forward, but -still wonder if the two exposition-only concepts in this clause might be -worth promoting to clause 20.

    -The <iterator> header synopsis declares a partial specialization of -iterator_traits to support pointers, 24.3 [iterator.syn]. The implication -is that specialization will be described in D10, yet it did not follow the -rest of the deprecated material into this clause. -

    -

    -However, this is not as bad as it first seems! -There are partial specializations of iterator_traits for types that satisfy -the various Iterator concepts, and there are concept_maps for pointers to -explicitly support the RandomAccessIterator concept, so the required -template will be present - just not in the manner advertised. -

    -

    -I can see two obvious solutions: -

    -
      -
    1. -Restore the iterator_traits<T*> partial specialization in D.10 -
    2. -
    3. -Remove the declaration of iterator_traits<T*> from 24.3 synopsis -
    4. -
    -

    -I recommend option (ii) in the wording below -

    -

    -Option (ii) could be extended to strike all the declarations of deprecated -material from the synopsis, as it is effectively duplicating D.10 anyway. -This is the approach taken for deprecated library components in the 98/03 -standards. This is probably a matter best left to the Editor though. -

    +

    Prior to the introduction of constant expressions into the library, +basic_string elements had to be POD types, and thus had to be both trivially +copyable and standard-layout. This ensured that they could be memcpy'ed and +would be compatible with other libraries and languages, particularly the C +language and its library.

    +

    +N2349, +Constant Expressions in the Standard Library Revision 2, changed the +requirement in 21/1 from "POD type" to "literal type". That change had the +effect of removing the trivially copyable and standard-layout requirements from +basic_string elements.

    +

    This means that basic_string elements no longer are guaranteed to be +memcpy'able, and are no longer guaranteed to be standard-layout types:

    +
    +

    3.9/p2 and 3.9/p3 both make it clear that a "trivially copyable type" is + required for memcpy to be guaranteed to work.

    +

    Literal types (3.9p12) may have a non-trivial copy assignment operator, and + that violates the trivially copyable requirements given in 9/p 6, bullet item + 2.

    +

    Literal types (3.9p12) have no standard-layout requirement, either.

    +
    +

    This situation probably arose because the wording for "Constant Expressions +in the Standard Library" was in process at the same time the C++ POD +deconstruction wording was in process.

    +

    Since trivially copyable types meet the C++0x requirements for literal types, +and thus work with constant expressions, it seems an easy fix to revert the +basic_string element wording to its original state.

    + +

    + + +
    +When looking for any resolution for this issue, consider the definition of +"character container type" in 17.3.4 [defns.character.container]. This +does require the character type to be a POD, and this term is used in a +number of places through clause 21 and 28. This suggests the PODness +constraint remains, but is much more subtle than before. Meanwhile, I +suspect the change from POD type to literal type was intentional with +the assumption that trivially copyable types with +non-trivial-but-constexpr constructors should serve as well.

    Discussion:

    -istream_iterator and istreambuf_iterator should support literal sentinel -values. The default constructor is frequently used to terminate ranges, and -could easily be a literal value for istreambuf_iterator, and -istream_iterator when iterating value types. A little more work using a -suitably sized/aligned char-array for storage (or an updated component like -boost::optional proposed for TR2) would allow istream_iterator to support -constexpr default constructor in all cases, although we might leave this -tweak as a QoI issue. Note that requiring constexpr be supported also -allows us to place no-throw guarantees on this constructor too. +The duration types in 20.9.3 [time.duration] are exactly the sort of type +that should be "literal types" in the new standard. Likewise, +arithmetic operations on durations should be declared constexpr.

    -I agree with the usefulness of the issue suggestion, but we need -to ensure that istream_iterator can satisfy be literal if needed. -Currently this is not clear, because 24.6.1 [istream.iterator]/3 declares -a copy constructor and a destructor and explains their semantic in -24.6.1.1 [istream.iterator.cons]/3+4. -

    -

    -The prototype semantic specification is ok (although it seems -somewhat redundant to me, because the semantic doesn't say -anything interesting in both cases), but for support of trivial class -types we also need a trivial copy constructor and destructor as of -9 [class]/6. The current non-informative specification of these -two special members suggests to remove their explicit declaration -in the class and add explicit wording that says that if T is -trivial a default constructed iterator is also literal, alternatively it -would be possible to mark both as defaulted and add explicit -(memberwise) wording that guarantees that they are trivial. -

    -

    -Btw.: I'm quite sure that the istreambuf_iterator additions to -ensure triviality are not sufficient as suggested, because the -library does not yet give general guarantees that a defaulted -special member declaration makes this member also trivial. -Note that e.g. the atomic types do give a general statement! -

In general, I think TR1 functionality should not be -brought into C++0x if it is entirely redundant with other C++0x language -or library features. +I've been implementing compiler support for is_standard_layout, and +noticed a few nits about 20.6.4.3 [meta.unary.prop]:

    +
      +
    1. +There's no trait for "trivially copyable type", which is now the +property that lets you do bitwise copying of a type, and therefore seems +useful to be able to query. has_trivial_assign && +has_trivial_copy_constructor && has_trivial_destructor +is similar, but +not identical, specifically with respect to const types. +
    2. +
    3. +has_trivial_copy_constructor and has_trivial_assign lack the "or an +array of such a class type" language that most other traits in that +section, including has_nothrow_copy_constructor and has_nothrow_assign, +have; this seems like an oversight. +

    -C++0x nested_exception cannot handle a structured exception well. The -following codes show two types of tree structured exception handling. -

    -The first one is based on nested_exception in C++0x, -while the second one is based on my library trickerr.h (in Japanese). -http://tricklib.com/cxx/dagger/trickerr.h +When I look at the unordered_* constructors, I think the complexity is poorly +described and does not follow the style of the rest of the standard.

    -Assume that Function A() calls two sub functions A_a() and A_b(), both might -throw tree structured exceptions, and A_b() must be called even if A_a() -throws an exception. +The complexity for the default constructor is specified as constant. + Actually, it is proportional to n, but there are no invocations of +value_type constructors or other value_type operations.

    Discussion:

    -IIUC, -N2844 -means that lvalues will no longer bind to rvalue references. -Therefore, the current specification of list::splice (list -operations 23.3.4.4 [list.ops]) will be a breaking change of behaviour for existing -programs. That is because we changed the signature to swallow via an rvalue -reference rather than the lvalue reference used in 03. +While reviewing 971 I noted that 17.5.1.4 [structure.specifications]/7 says:

    + +
    +-7- Error conditions specify conditions where a function may fail. The +conditions are listed, together with a suitable explanation, as the enum +class errc constants (19.5) that could be used as an argument to +function make_error_condition (19.5.3.6). +
    +

    -Retaining this form would be safer, requiring an explicit move when splicing -from lvalues. However, this will break existing programs. -We have the same problem with forward_list, although without the risk of -breaking programs so here it might be viewed as a positive feature. +This paragraph should mention make_error_code or the text "that +could be used as an argument to function make_error_condition +(19.5.3.6)" should be deleted. I believe this is editorial.

    + +

    [ +2009-07-21 Chris adds: +]

    + + +

    -The problem signatures: +I'm not convinced there's a problem there, because as far as the "Error +conditions" clauses are concerned, make_error_condition() is used by a +user to test for the condition, whereas make_error_code is not. For +example:

    -
    void splice_after(const_iterator position, forward_list<T,Alloc>&& x);
    -void splice_after(const_iterator position, forward_list<T,Alloc>&& x,
    -                  const_iterator i);
    -void splice_after(const_iterator position, forward_list<T,Alloc>&& x,
    -                  const_iterator first, const_iterator last);
     
    -void splice(const_iterator position, list<T,Alloc>&& x);
    -void splice(const_iterator position, list<T,Alloc>&& x,
    -            const_iterator i);
    -void splice(const_iterator position, list<T,Alloc>&& x,
    -            const_iterator first, const_iterator last);

    void foobar(error_code& ec = throws());
     
    -Possible resolutions: +

    + Error conditions: +

    +
    +permission_denied - Insufficient privilege to perform operation. +

    -Option A. Add an additional (non-const) lvalue-reference -overload in each case +When a user writes:

    + +
    error_code ec;
    +foobar(ec);
    +if (ec == errc::permission_denied)
    +   ...
    +
    +

    -Option B. Change rvalue reference back to (non-const) -lvalue-reference overload in each case +the implicit conversion errc->error_condition makes the if-test +equivalent to:

    + +
    if (ec == make_error_condition(errc::permission_denied))
    +
    +

    -Option C. Add an additional (non-const) lvalue-reference -overload in just the std::list cases +On the other hand, if the user had written: +

    + +
    if (ec == make_error_code(errc::permission_denied))
    +
    + +

    +the test is now checking for a specific error code. The test may +evaluate to false even though foobar() failed due to the documented +error condition "Insufficient privilege". +

    Discussion:

    -This is probably editorial. +Several heterogeneous comparison operators of class template +sub_match are specified by return clauses that are not valid +in general. E.g. 28.9.2 [re.submatch.op]/7:

    + +
    template <class BiIter, class ST, class SA>
    +bool operator==(
    +  const basic_string<
    +    typename iterator_traits<BiIter>::value_type, ST, SA>& lhs,
    +  const sub_match<BiIter>& rhs);
    +
    +
    +Returns: lhs == rhs.str(). +
    +
    +

    -The following items should be removed from the draft, because they're -redundant with Annex D, and they arguably make some *.h headers -non-deprecated: +The returns clause would be ill-formed for all cases where +ST != std::char_traits<iterator_traits<BiIter>::value_type> +or SA != std::allocator<iterator_traits<BiIter>::value_type>.

    -18.4.2 [stdinth] (regarding <stdint.h>) +The generic character of the comparison was intended, so +there are basically two approaches to fix the problem: The +first one would define the semantics of the comparison +using the traits class ST (The semantic of basic_string::compare +is defined in terms of the compare function of the corresponding +traits class), the second one would define the semantics of the +comparison using the traits class

    + +
    std::char_traits<iterator_traits<BiIter>::value_type>
    +
    +

    -26.3.2 [fenv] (regarding <fenv.h> +which is essentially identical to

    + +
    std::char_traits<sub_match<BiIter>::value_type>
    +
    +

    -Line 3 of 26.8 [c.math] (regarding <tgmath.h>) +I suggest to follow the second approach, because +this emphasizes the central role of the sub_match +object as part of the comparison and would also +make sure that a sub_match comparison using some +basic_string<char_t, ..> always is equivalent to +a corresponding comparison with a string literal +because of the existence of further overloads (beginning +from 28.9.2 [re.submatch.op]/19). If users really want to +take advantage of their own traits::compare, they can +simply write a corresponding compare function that +does so.

        -

        -As of -N2857 -18.8.5 [propagation]/5, the implementation-defined type -exception_ptr does provide the following ways to check whether -it is a null value: -

        -  p == 0;

        -}
        -

        -This is rather cumbersome way of checking for the null value -and I suggest to require support for evaluation in a boolean -context like so: -

        Discussion:

        -

        -It was recently mentioned in a newsgroup article -http://groups.google.de/group/comp.std.c++/msg/f82022aff68edf3d -that the specification of the member function rethrow_nested() of the -class nested_exception is incomplete, specifically it remains unclear -what happens, if member nested_ptr() returns a null value. In -18.8.6 [except.nested] we find only the following paragraph related to that: -

        -
        void rethrow_nested() const; // [[noreturn]]

        +18 Returns: lhs.str() <= rhstypename +sub_match<BiIter>::string_type(rhs.begin(), rhs.end()).
        -

        -This is a problem, because it is possible to create an object of -nested_exception with exactly such a state, e.g. -

        -
        #include <exception>
        -#include <iostream>
         
        -int main() try {
        -  std::nested_exception e; // OK, calls current_exception() and stores it's null value
        -  e.rethrow_nested(); // ?
        -  std::cout << "A" << std::endl;

        -I suggest to follow the proposal of the reporter, namely to invoke -terminate() if nested_ptr() return a null value of exception_ptr instead -of relying on the fallback position of undefined behavior.

    -In clause 1, the Working Draft -(N2857) -specifies overloads of the -functions +The implied library dependencies created by spelling out all the hash +template specializations in the <functional> synopsis are unfortunate. +The potential coupling is greatly reduced if the hash specialization is +declared in the appropriate header for each library type, as it is much +simpler to forward declare the primary template and provide a single +specialization than it is to implement a hash function for a string or +vector without providing a definition for the whole string/vector +template in order to access the necessary bits.

    -I strongly suggest to add the following requirement on the return types: +Strike the following specializations declared in the <functional> +synopsis p2 20.7 [function.objects]

    -Mathematically, conj() and proj(), like the transcendental functions, are -complex-valued in general but map the (extended) real line to itself. -In fact, both functions act as identity on the reals. -A typical user will expect conj() and proj() to preserve this essential -mathematical property in the same way as exp(), sin(), etc. -A typical use of conj(), e.g., is the generic scalar product of n-vectors: +Add a new clause 21.4.X

    Discussion:

    -Many of the basic_string operator+ overloads return an rvalue-reference. Is -that really intended? +The protected member function set_rdbuf had been added during the +process of adding move and swap semantics to IO classes. A relevant +property of this function is described by it's effects in +27.5.4.2 [basic.ios.members]/19:

    + +
    +Effects: Associates the basic_streambuf object pointed to by sb with +this stream without calling clear(). +
    +

    -I'm considering it might be a mild performance tweak to avoid making -un-necessary copies of a cheaply movable type, but it opens risk to dangling -references in code like: +This means that implementors of or those who derive from existing IO classes +could cause an internal state where the stream buffer could be 0, but the +IO class has the state good(). This would break several currently existing +implementations which rely on the fact that setting a stream buffer via the +currently only ways, i.e. either by calling

    -
    auto && s = string{"x"} + string{y};
    +
    void init(basic_streambuf<charT,traits>* sb);
     

    -and I'm not sure about: +or by calling

    -
    auto s = string{"x"} + string{y};
    +
    basic_streambuf<charT,traits>* rdbuf(basic_streambuf<charT,traits>* sb);
     
    - -

    Proposed resolution:

    -Strike the && from the return type in the following function -signatures: +to set rdstate() to badbit, if the buffer is 0. This has the effect that many +internal functions can simply check rdstate() instead of rdbuf() for being 0.

    -

    -21.3 [string.classes] p2 Header Synopsis +I therefore suggest that a requirement is added for callers of set_rdbuf to +set a non-0 value.

    +... Constant iterators do not satisfy the requirements for output iterators +

    -The regular expressions chapter is not concept enabled. +The latter seems to be the overriding concern, as the iterator tag +hierarchy does not define forward_iterator_tag as multiply derived from +both input_iterator_tag and output_iterator_tag.

    +The work on concepts for iterators showed us that output iterator really +is fundamentally a second dimension to the iterator categories, rather +than part of the linear input -> forward -> bidirectional -> +random-access sequence.

    -The atomics chapter is not concept enabled. +The library template forward_list could easily model the idea of a +stack, where the operations work on the front of the list rather than +the back. However, the standard library stack adaptor cannot support +this.

    -Needs to also consider issues 923 and 924. +It would be relatively easy to write a partial specialization for stack +to support forward_list, but that opens the question of which header to +place it in. A much better solution would be to add a concept_map for +the StackLikeContainer concept to the <forward_list> header and then +everything just works, including a user's own further uses in a +stack-like context.

    +

    +Therefore while I am submitting the issue now so that it is on record, I +strongly recommend we resolve as "NAD Concepts" as any non-concepts +based solution will be inferior to the final goal, and the feature is +not so compelling it must be supported ahead of the concepts-based +library. +

    The member istreambuf_iterator<>::equal is specified to be +unnecessarily inefficient. While this does not affect the efficiency +of conforming implementations of iostreams, because they can +"reach into" the iterators and bypass this function, it does +affect users who use istreambuf_iterators.

    + +

    The inefficiency results from a too-scrupulous definition, which +requires a "true" result if neither iterator is at eof. In +practice these iterators can only usefully be compared with the +"eof" value, so the extra test implied provides no benefit, +but slows down users' code.

    + +

    The solution is to weaken the requirement on the function to return +true only if both iterators are at eof.

    Discussion:

    +

    The following question came from Thorsten Herlemann:

    + +
    +

    You can set a mode when constructing or opening a file-stream or + filebuf, e.g. ios::in, ios::out, ios::binary, ... But how can I get + that mode later on, e.g. in my own operator << or operator + >> or when I want to check whether a file-stream or + file-buffer object passed as parameter is opened for input or output + or binary? Is there no possibility? Is this a design-error in the + standard C++ library?

    +
    + +

    It is indeed impossible to find out what a stream's or stream +buffer's open mode is, and without that knowledge you don't know +how certain operations behave. Just think of the append mode.

    + +

    Both streams and stream buffers should have a mode() function that returns the +current open mode setting.

    +
    + + + +

    Proposed resolution:

    +

    For stream buffers, add a function to the base class as a non-virtual function +qualified as const to 27.6.2 [streambuf]:

    + +

        openmode mode() const;

    + +

        Returns the current open mode.

    + +

    With streams, I'm not sure what to suggest. In principle, the mode +could already be returned by ios_base, but the mode is only +initialized for file and string stream objects, unless I'm overlooking +anything. For this reason it should be added to the most derived +stream classes. Alternatively, it could be added to basic_ios +and would be default initialized in basic_ios<>::init().

    + + +

    Rationale:

    This might be an interesting extension for some future, but it is +not a defect in the current standard. The Proposed Resolution is +retained for future reference.

    138. Class ctype_byname<char> redundant and misleading

    Discussion:

    +

    Section 22.4.1.4 [locale.codecvt] specifies that +ctype_byname<char> must be a specialization of the ctype_byname +template.

    + +

    It is common practice in the standard that specializations of class templates are only +mentioned where the interface of the specialization deviates from the interface of the +template that it is a specialization of. Otherwise, the fact whether or not a required +instantiation is an actual instantiation or a specialization is left open as an +implementation detail.

    + +

    Clause 22.2.1.4 deviates from that practice and for that reason is misleading. The +fact, that ctype_byname<char> is specified as a specialization suggests that there +must be something "special" about it, but it has the exact same interface as the +ctype_byname template. Clause 22.2.1.4 does not have any explanatory value, is at best +redundant, at worst misleading - unless I am missing anything.

    + +

    Naturally, an implementation will most likely implement ctype_byname<char> as a +specialization, because the base class ctype<char> is a specialization with an +interface different from the ctype template, but that's an implementation detail and need +not be mentioned in the standard.

    Discussion:

    +

    +The basic_streambuf members gbump() and pbump() are specified to take an +int argument. This requirement prevents the functions from effectively +manipulating buffers larger than std::numeric_limits<int>::max() +characters. It also makes the common use case for these functions +somewhat difficult as many compilers will issue a warning when an +argument of type larger than int (such as ptrdiff_t on LLP64 +architectures) is passed to either of the function. Since it's often the +result of the subtraction of two pointers that is passed to the +functions, a cast is necessary to silence such warnings. Finally, the +usage of a native type in the functions signatures is inconsistent with +other member functions (such as sgetn() and sputn()) that manipulate the +underlying character buffer. Those functions take a streamsize argument. +

    + +

    [ +2009-07 Frankfurt +]

    + + +
    +

    +This is part of a bigger problem. If anyone cares enough, they should +write a paper solving the bigger problem of offset types in iostreams. +

    +

    +This is related to the paper about large file sizes. Beman has already +agreed to drop the section of that paper that deals with this. +

    +

    +int is big enough for reasonable buffers. +

    +

    +Move to NAD Future. +

    +

    +This is related to LWG 423. +

    +
    + + + +

    Proposed resolution:

    +

    +Change the signatures of these functions in the synopsis of template +class basic_streambuf (27.5.2) and in their descriptions (27.5.2.3.1, p4 +and 27.5.2.3.2, p4) to take a streamsize argument. +

    + +

    +Although this change has the potential of changing the ABI of the +library, the change will affect only platforms where int is different +than the definition of streamsize. However, since both functions are +typically inline (they are on all known implementations), even on such +platforms the change will not affect any user code unless it explicitly +relies on the existing type of the functions (e.g., by taking their +address). Such a possibility is IMO quite remote. +

    + +

    +Alternate Suggestion from Howard Hinnant, c++std-lib-7780: +

    + +

    +This is something of a nit, but I'm wondering if streamoff wouldn't be a +better choice than streamsize. The argument to pbump and gbump MUST be +signed. But the standard has this to say about streamsize +(27.4.1/2/Footnote): +

    + +

    + [Footnote: streamsize is used in most places where ISO C would use + size_t. Most of the uses of streamsize could use size_t, except for + the strstreambuf constructors, which require negative values. It + should probably be the signed type corresponding to size_t (which is + what Posix.2 calls ssize_t). --- end footnote] +

    + +

    +This seems a little weak for the argument to pbump and gbump. Should we +ever really get rid of strstream, this footnote might go with it, along +with the reason to make streamsize signed. +

    + + +

    Rationale:

    +

    The LWG believes this change is too big for now. We may wish to +reconsider this for a future revision of the standard. One +possibility is overloading pbump, rather than changing the +signature.

In particular I +can expect that the function object is applied exactly last - first +times, which is promised in the "Complexity" section. +

    + +

    I don't see how any implementation can give such a guarantee +without imposing requirements on the function object. +

    + +

    Just as an example: consider a function object that removes +elements from the input sequence. In that case, what does the +complexity guarantee (applies f exactly last - first times) mean? +

    + +

    One can argue that this is obviously a nonsensical application and +a theoretical case, which unfortunately it isn't. I have seen +programmers shooting themselves in the foot this way, and they did not +understand that there are restrictions even if the description of the +algorithm does not say so. +

    +

    [Lillehammer: This is more general than for_each. We don't want + the function object in transform invalidiating iterators + either. There should be a note somewhere in clause 17 (17, not 25) + saying that user code operating on a range may not invalidate + iterators unless otherwise specified. Bill will provide wording.]

    -In section 24.2.5 [bidirectional.iterators], -Table 75 gives the return type of *r-- as convertible to T. This is -not consistent with Table 74 which gives the return type of *r++ as -T&. *r++ = t is valid while *r-- = t is invalid. -

    - -

    -In section 24.2.6 [random.access.iterators], -Table 76 gives the return type of a[n] as convertible to T. This is -not consistent with the semantics of *(a + n) which returns T& by -Table 74. *(a + n) = t is valid while a[n] = t is invalid. -

    - -

    -Discussion from the Copenhagen meeting: the first part is -uncontroversial. The second part, operator[] for Random Access -Iterators, requires more thought. There are reasonable arguments on -both sides. Return by value from operator[] enables some potentially -useful iterators, e.g. a random access "iota iterator" (a.k.a -"counting iterator" or "int iterator"). There isn't any obvious way -to do this with return-by-reference, since the reference would be to a -temporary. On the other hand, reverse_iterator takes an -arbitrary Random Access Iterator as template argument, and its -operator[] returns by reference. If we decided that the return type -in Table 76 was correct, we would have to change -reverse_iterator. This change would probably affect user -code. -

    - -

    -History: the contradiction between reverse_iterator and the -Random Access Iterator requirements has been present from an early -stage. In both the STL proposal adopted by the committee -(N0527==94-0140) and the STL technical report (HPL-95-11 (R.1), by -Stepanov and Lee), the Random Access Iterator requirements say that -operator[]'s return value is "convertible to T". In N0527 -reverse_iterator's operator[] returns by value, but in HPL-95-11 -(R.1), and in the STL implementation that HP released to the public, -reverse_iterator's operator[] returns by reference. In 1995, the -standard was amended to reflect the contents of HPL-95-11 (R.1). The -original intent for operator[] is unclear. -

    - -

    -In the long term it may be desirable to add more fine-grained -iterator requirements, so that access method and traversal strategy -can be decoupled. (See "Improved Iterator Categories and -Requirements", N1297 = 01-0011, by Jeremy Siek.) Any decisions -about issue 299 should keep this possibility in mind. -

    - -

    Further discussion: I propose a compromise between John Potter's -resolution, which requires T& as the return type of -a[n], and the current wording, which requires convertible to -T. The compromise is to keep the convertible to T -for the return type of the expression a[n], but to also add -a[n] = t as a valid expression. This compromise "saves" the -common case uses of random access iterators, while at the same time -allowing iterators such as counting iterator and caching file -iterators to remain random access iterators (iterators where the -lifetime of the object returned by operator*() is tied to the -lifetime of the iterator). -

    - -

    -Note that the compromise resolution necessitates a change to -reverse_iterator. It would need to use a proxy to support -a[n] = t. -

    - -

    -Note also there is one kind of mutable random access iterator that -will no longer meet the new requirements. Currently, iterators that -return an r-value from operator[] meet the requirements for a -mutable random access iterartor, even though the expression a[n] = -t will only modify a temporary that goes away. With this proposed -resolution, a[n] = t will be required to have the same -operational semantics as *(a + n) = t. -

    Proposed resolution:

    Discussion:

    +

    +The descriptions of the constructors of basic_istream<>::sentry +(27.7.1.1.3 [istream::sentry]) and basic_ostream<>::sentry +(27.7.2.4 [ostream::sentry]) do not explain what the functions do in +case an exception is thrown while they execute. Some current +implementations allow all exceptions to propagate, others catch them +and set ios_base::badbit instead, still others catch some but let +others propagate. +

    + +

    +The text also mentions that the functions may call setstate(failbit) +(without actually saying on what object, but presumably the stream +argument is meant). That may have been fine for +basic_istream<>::sentry prior to issue 195, since +the function performs an input operation which may fail. However, +issue 195 amends 27.7.1.1.3 [istream::sentry], p2 to +clarify that the function should actually call setstate(failbit | +eofbit), so the sentence in p3 is redundant or even somewhat +contradictory. +

    + +

    +The same sentence that appears in 27.7.2.4 [ostream::sentry], p3 +doesn't seem to be very meaningful for basic_istream<>::sentry +which performs no input. It is actually rather misleading since it +would appear to guide library implementers to calling +setstate(failbit) when os.tie()->flush(), the only called function, +throws an exception (typically, it's badbit that's set in response to +such an event). +

    + +

    Additional comments from Martin, who isn't comfortable with the + current proposed resolution (see c++std-lib-11530)

    + +

    +The istream::sentry ctor says nothing about how the function +deals with exemptions (27.6.1.1.2, p1 says that the class is +responsible for doing "exception safe"(*) prefix and suffix +operations but it doesn't explain what level of exception +safety the class promises to provide). The mockup example +of a "typical implementation of the sentry ctor" given in +27.6.1.1.2, p6, removed in ISO/IEC 14882:2003, doesn't show +exception handling, either. Since the ctor is not classified +as a formatted or unformatted input function, the text in +27.6.1.1, p1 through p4 does not apply. All this would seem +to suggest that the sentry ctor should not catch or in any +way handle exceptions thrown from any functions it may call. +Thus, the typical implementation of an istream extractor may +look something like [1]. +

    + +

    +The problem with [1] is that while it correctly sets ios::badbit +if an exception is thrown from one of the functions called from +the sentry ctor, if the sentry ctor reaches EOF while extracting +whitespace from a stream that has eofbit or failbit set in +exceptions(), it will cause an ios::failure to be thrown, which +will in turn cause the extractor to set ios::badbit. +

    + +

    +The only straightforward way to prevent this behavior is to +move the definition of the sentry object in the extractor +above the try block (as suggested by the example in 22.2.8, +p9 and also indirectly supported by 27.6.1.3, p1). See [2]. +But such an implementation will allow exceptions thrown from +functions called from the ctor to freely propagate to the +caller regardless of the setting of ios::badbit in the stream +object's exceptions(). +

    + +

    +So since neither [1] nor [2] behaves as expected, the only +possible solution is to have the sentry ctor catch exceptions +thrown from called functions, set badbit, and propagate those +exceptions if badbit is also set in exceptions(). (Another +solution exists that deals with both kinds of sentries, but +the code is non-obvious and cumbersome -- see [3].) +

    + +

    +Please note that, as the issue points out, current libraries +do not behave consistently, suggesting that implementors are +not quite clear on the exception handling in istream::sentry, +despite the fact that some LWG members might feel otherwise. +(As documented by the parenthetical comment here: +http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2003/n1480.html#309) +

    + +

    +Also please note that those LWG members who in Copenhagen +felt that "a sentry's constructor should not catch exceptions, +because sentries should only be used within (un)formatted input +functions and that exception handling is the responsibility of +those functions, not of the sentries," as noted here +http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2001/n1310.html#309 +would in effect be either arguing for the behavior described +in [1] or for extractors implemented along the lines of [3]. +

    + +

    +The original proposed resolution (Revision 25 of the issues +list) clarifies the role of the sentry ctor WRT exception +handling by making it clear that extractors (both library +or user-defined) should be implemented along the lines of +[2] (as opposed to [1]) and that no exception thrown from +the callees should propagate out of either function unless +badbit is also set in exceptions(). +

    + +

    +[Pre-Portland] A relevant newsgroup post: +

    + +

    +The current proposed resolution of issue #309 +(http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-active.html#309) is +unacceptable. I write commerical software and coding around this +makes my code ugly, non-intuitive, and requires comments referring +people to this very issue. Following is the full explanation of my +experience. +

    +

    +In the course of writing software for commercial use, I constructed +std::ifstream's based on user-supplied pathnames on typical POSIX +systems. +

    +

    +It was expected that some files that opened successfully might not read +successfully -- such as a pathname which actually refered to a +directory. Intuitively, I expected the streambuffer underflow() code +to throw an exception in this situation, and recent implementations of +libstdc++'s basic_filebuf do just that (as well as many of my own +custom streambufs). +

    +

    +I also intuitively expected that the istream code would convert these +exceptions to the "badbit' set on the stream object, because I had not +requested exceptions. I refer to 27.6.1.1. P4. +

    +

    +However, this was not the case on at least two implementations -- if +the first thing I did with an istream was call operator>>( T& ) for T +among the basic arithmetic types and std::string. Looking further I +found that the sentry's constructor was invoking the exception when it +pre-scanned for whitespace, and the extractor function (operator>>()) +was not catching exceptions in this situation. +

    +

    +So, I was in a situation where setting 'noskipws' would change the +istream's behavior even though no characters (whitespace or not) could +ever be successfully read. +

    +

    +Also, calling .peek() on the istream before calling the extractor() +changed the behavior (.peek() had the effect of setting the badbit +ahead of time). +

    +

    +I found this all to be so inconsistent and inconvenient for me and my +code design, that I filed a bugzilla entry for libstdc++. I was then +told that the bug cannot be fixed until issue #309 is resolved by the +committee. +

    Discussion:

    -

    -When both grouping and showbase are active and the basefield is octal, -does the leading 0 participate in the grouping or not? For example, -should one format as: 0,123,456 or 0123,456? -

    -

    -An analogy can be drawn with hexadecimal. It appears that 0x123,456 is -preferred over 0x,123,456. However, this analogy is not universally -accepted to apply to the octal base. The standard is not clear on how -to format (or parse) in this manner. -

    +

    I think we have a defect.

    + +

    According to lwg issue 60 which is now a dr, the +description of seekg in 27.7.1.3 [istream.unformatted] paragraph 38 now looks +like:

    -

    Proposed resolution:

    -

    -Insert into 22.4.3.1.2 [facet.numpunct.virtuals] paragraph 3, just before the last -sentence: -

    -The leading hexadecimal base specifier "0x" does not participate in -grouping. The leading '0' octal base specifier may participate in -grouping. It is unspecified if the leading '0' participates in -formatting octal numbers. In parsing octal numbers, the implementation -is encouraged to accept both the leading '0' participating in the -grouping, and not participating (e.g. 0123,456 or 0,123,456). +Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in 27.6.1.3, +paragraph 1), except that it does not count the number of characters +extracted and does not affect the value returned by subsequent calls to +gcount(). After constructing a sentry object, if fail() != true, +executes rdbuf()->pubseekpos( pos). +

    + +

    And according to lwg issue 243 which is also now a dr, +27.6.1.3, paragraph 1 looks like:

    + +

    +Each unformatted input function begins execution by constructing an +object of class sentry with the default argument noskipws (second) +argument true. If the sentry object returns true, when converted to a +value of type bool, the function endeavors to obtain the requested +input. Otherwise, if the sentry constructor exits by throwing an +exception or if the sentry object returns false, when converted to a +value of type bool, the function returns without attempting to obtain +any input. In either case the number of extracted characters is set to +0; unformatted input functions taking a character array of non-zero +size as an argument shall also store a null character (using charT()) +in the first location of the array. If an exception is thrown during +input then ios::badbit is turned on in *this'ss error state. If +(exception()&badbit)!= 0 then the exception is rethrown. It also counts +the number of characters extracted. If no exception has been thrown it +ends by storing the count in a member object and returning the value +specified. In any event the sentry object is destroyed before leaving +the unformatted input function. +

    + +

    And finally 27.6.1.1.2/5 says this about sentry:

    + +

    +If, after any preparation is completed, is.good() is true, ok_ != false +otherwise, ok_ == false.

    -

    Rationale:

    -The current behavior may be unspecified, but it's not clear that it -matters. This is an obscure corner case, since grouping is usually -intended for the benefit of humans and oct/hex prefixes are usually -intended for the benefit of machines. There is not a strong enough -consensus in the LWG for action. +So although the seekg paragraph says that the operation proceeds if +!fail(), the behavior of unformatted functions says the operation +proceeds only if good(). The two statements are contradictory when only +eofbit is set. I don't think the current text is clear which condition +should be respected.

    +

    Further discussion from Redmond:

    +

    PJP: It doesn't seem quite right to say that seekg is +"unformatted". That makes specific claims about sentry that +aren't quite appropriate for seeking, which has less fragile failure +modes than actual input. If we do really mean that it's unformatted +input, it should behave the same way as other unformatted input. On +the other hand, "principle of least surprise" is that seeking from EOF +ought to be OK.

    +

    +Pre-Berlin: Paolo points out several problems with the proposed resolution in +Ready state: +

    -
    +
      +
    • It should apply to both overloads of seekg.
    • +
    • tellg has similar issues, except that it should not call clear().
    • +
    • The point about clear() seems to apply to seekp().

    Proposed resolution:

    + +

    Change 27.7.1.3 [istream.unformatted] to:

    +

    +Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in 27.6.1.3, +paragraph 1), except that it does not count the number of characters +extracted, does not affect the value returned by subsequent calls to +gcount(), and does not examine the value returned by the sentry +object. After constructing a sentry object, if fail() != +true, executes rdbuf()->pubseekpos(pos). In +case of success, the function calls clear(). +In case of failure, the function calls setstate(failbit) +(which may throw ios_base::failure). +

    + +

    [Lillehammer: Matt provided wording.]

    + + + + +

    Rationale:

    +

    In C, fseek does clear EOF. This is probably what most users would + expect. We agree that having eofbit set should not deter a seek, + and that a successful seek should clear eofbit. Note + that fail() is true only if failbit + or badbit is set, so using !fail(), rather + than good(), satisfies this goal.

    Discussion:

    +

    +The synopses of the C++ library headers clearly show which names are +required to be defined in each header. Since in order to implement the +classes and templates defined in these headers declarations of other +templates (but not necessarily their definitions) are typically +necessary the standard in 17.4.4, p1 permits library implementers to +include any headers needed to implement the definitions in each header. +

    + +

    +For instance, although it is not explicitly specified in the synopsis of +<string>, at the point of definition of the std::basic_string template +the declaration of the std::allocator template must be in scope. All +current implementations simply include <memory> from within <string>, +either directly or indirectly, to bring the declaration of +std::allocator into scope. +

    + +

    +Additionally, however, some implementation also include <istream> and +<ostream> at the top of <string> to bring the declarations of +std::basic_istream and std::basic_ostream into scope (which are needed +in order to implement the string inserter and extractor operators +(21.3.7.9 [lib.string.io])). Other implementations only include +<iosfwd>, since strictly speaking, only the declarations and not the +full definitions are necessary. +

    + +

    +Obviously, it is possible to implement <string> without actually +providing the full definitions of all the templates std::basic_string +uses (std::allocator, std::basic_istream, and std::basic_ostream). +Furthermore, not only is it possible, doing so is likely to have a +positive effect on compile-time efficiency. +

    + +

    +But while it may seem perfectly reasonable to expect a program that uses +the std::basic_string insertion and extraction operators to also +explicitly include <istream> or <ostream>, respectively, it doesn't seem +reasonable to also expect it to explicitly include <memory>. Since +what's reasonable and what isn't is highly subjective one would expect +the standard to specify what can and what cannot be assumed. +Unfortunately, that isn't the case. +

    + +

    The examples below demonstrate the issue.

    + +

    Example 1:

    + +

    It is not clear whether the following program is complete:

    + +
    #include <string>
    +
    +extern std::basic_ostream<char> &strm;
    +
    +int main () {
    +    strm << std::string ("Hello, World!\n");
    +}
    +
    + +

    or whether one must explicitly include <memory> or +<ostream> (or both) in addition to <string> in order for +the program to compile.

    + + +

    Example 2:

    + +

    Similarly, it is unclear whether the following program is complete:

    + +
    #include <istream>
    +
    +extern std::basic_iostream<char> &strm;
    +
    +int main () {
    +    strm << "Hello, World!\n";
    +}
    +
    + +

    +or whether one needs to explicitly include <ostream>, and +perhaps even other headers containing the definitions of other +required templates:

    + +
    #include <ios>
    +#include <istream>
    +#include <ostream>
    +#include <streambuf>
    +
    +extern std::basic_iostream<char> &strm;
    +
    +int main () {
    +    strm << "Hello, World!\n";
    +}
    +
    + +

    Example 3:

    + +

    Likewise, it seems unclear whether the program below is complete:

    +
    #include <iterator>
    +
    +bool foo (std::istream_iterator<int> a, std::istream_iterator<int> b)
    +{
    +    return a == b;
    +}
    +
    +int main () { }
    +
    + +

    or whether one should be required to include <istream>.

    + +

    There are many more examples that demonstrate this lack of a +requirement. I believe that in a good number of cases it would be +unreasonable to require that a program explicitly include all the +headers necessary for a particular template to be specialized, but I +think that there are cases such as some of those above where it would +be desirable to allow implementations to include only as much as +necessary and not more.

    + +

    [ +post Bellevue: +]

    + + +
    +Position taken in prior reviews is that the idea of a table of header +dependencies is a good one. Our view is that a full paper is needed to +do justice to this, and we've made that recommendation to the issue +author. +

    Rationale:

    +

    The portability problem is real. A program that works correctly on +one implementation might fail on another, because of different header +dependencies. This problem was understood before the standard was +completed, and it was a conscious design choice.

    +

    One possible way to deal with this, as a library extension, would +be an <all> header.

    +

    Discussion:

    +

    +When both grouping and showbase are active and the basefield is octal, +does the leading 0 participate in the grouping or not? For example, +should one format as: 0,123,456 or 0123,456? +

    +

    +An analogy can be drawn with hexadecimal. It appears that 0x123,456 is +preferred over 0x,123,456. However, this analogy is not universally +accepted to apply to the octal base. The standard is not clear on how +to format (or parse) in this manner. +

    + +

    Proposed resolution:

    +

    +Insert into 22.4.3.1.2 [facet.numpunct.virtuals] paragraph 3, just before the last +sentence: +

    +

    +The leading hexadecimal base specifier "0x" does not participate in +grouping. The leading '0' octal base specifier may participate in +grouping. It is unspecified if the leading '0' participates in +formatting octal numbers. In parsing octal numbers, the implementation +is encouraged to accept both the leading '0' participating in the +grouping, and not participating (e.g. 0123,456 or 0,123,456). +

    + +

    Rationale:

    +

    +The current behavior may be unspecified, but it's not clear that it +matters. This is an obscure corner case, since grouping is usually +intended for the benefit of humans and oct/hex prefixes are usually +intended for the benefit of machines. There is not a strong enough +consensus in the LWG for action. +

    +

    Discussion:

    +

    +It seems that the descriptions of codecvt do_in() and do_out() leave +sufficient room for interpretation so that two implementations of +codecvt may not work correctly with the same filebuf. Specifically, +the following seems less than adequately specified: +

    + +
      +
    1. + the conditions under which the functions terminate +
    2. +
    3. + precisely when the functions return ok +
    4. +
    5. + precisely when the functions return partial +
    6. +
    7. + the full set of conditions when the functions return error +
    8. +
    + +
      +
    1. + 22.4.1.4.2 [locale.codecvt.virtuals], p2 says this about the effects of the + function: ...Stops if it encounters a character it cannot + convert... This assumes that there *is* a character to + convert. What happens when there is a sequence that doesn't form a + valid source character, such as an unassigned or invalid UNICODE + character, or a sequence that cannot possibly form a character + (e.g., the sequence "\xc0\xff" in UTF-8)? +
    2. +
    3. + Table 53 says that the function returns codecvt_base::ok + to indicate that the function(s) "completed the conversion." + Suppose that the source sequence is "\xc0\x80" in UTF-8, + with from pointing to '\xc0' and (from_end==from + 1). + It is not clear whether the return value should be ok + or partial (see below). +
    4. +
    5. + Table 53 says that the function returns codecvt_base::partial + if "not all source characters converted." With the from pointers + set up the same way as above, it is not clear whether the return + value should be partial or ok (see above). +
    6. +
    7. + Table 53, in the row describing the meaning of error mistakenly + refers to a "from_type" character, without the symbol from_type + having been defined. Most likely, the word "source" character + is intended, although that is not sufficient. The functions + may also fail when they encounter an invalid source sequence + that cannot possibly form a valid source character (e.g., as + explained in bullet 1 above). +
    8. +
    +

    +Finally, the conditions described at the end of 22.4.1.4.2 [locale.codecvt.virtuals], p4 don't seem to be possible: +

    +

    + "A return value of partial, if (from_next == from_end), + indicates that either the destination sequence has not + absorbed all the available destination elements, or that + additional source elements are needed before another + destination element can be produced." +

    +

    +If the value is partial, it's not clear to me that (from_next +==from_end) could ever hold if there isn't enough room +in the destination buffer. In order for (from_next==from_end) to +hold, all characters in that range must have been successfully +converted (according to 22.4.1.4.2 [locale.codecvt.virtuals], p2) and since there are no +further source characters to convert, no more room in the +destination buffer can be needed. +

    +

    +It's also not clear to me that (from_next==from_end) could ever +hold if additional source elements are needed to produce another +destination character (not element as incorrectly stated in the +text). partial is returned if "not all source characters have +been converted" according to Table 53, which also implies that +(from_next==from) does NOT hold. +

    +

    +Could it be that the intended qualifying condition was actually +(from_next != from_end), i.e., that the sentence was supposed +to read +

    +

    + "A return value of partial, if (from_next != from_end),..." +

    +

    +which would make perfect sense, since, as far as I understand it, +partial can only occur if (from_next != from_end)? +

    +

    [Lillehammer: Defer for the moment, but this really needs to be + fixed. Right now, the description of codecvt is too vague for it to + be a useful contract between providers and clients of codecvt + facets. (Note that both vendors and users can be both providers and + clients of codecvt facets.) The major philosophical issue is whether + the standard should only describe mappings that take a single wide + character to multiple narrow characters (and vice versa), or whether + it should describe fully general N-to-M conversions. When the + original standard was written only the former was contemplated, but + today, in light of the popularity of utf8 and utf16, that doesn't + seem sufficient for C++0x. Bill supports general N-to-M conversions; + we need to make sure Martin and Howard agree.]

    + + +

    [ +2009-07 Frankfurt +]

    + + +
    +

    +codecvt is meant to be a 1-to-N to N-to-1 conversion. It does not work +well for N-to-M conversions. wbuffer_convert now exists, and handles +N-to-M cases. Also, there is a new specialization of codecvt that +permits UTF-16 <-> UTF-8 conversions. +

    Discussion:

    -

    -The Effects clauses for the two functions below violate the -general requirements on unformatted input functions outlined -in 27.6.1.3: they do not begin by constructing a sentry object. -Instead, they begin by calling widen ('\n'), which may throw -an exception. The exception is then allowed to propagate from -the unformatted input function irrespective of the setting of -exceptions(). -

    -

    -Note that in light of 27.6.1.1, p3 and p4, the fact that the -functions allow exceptions thrown from widen() to propagate -may not strictly speaking be a defect (but the fact that the -functions do not start by constructing a sentry object still -is). However, since an exception thrown from ctype<charT> -::widen() during any other input operation (say, from within -a call to num_get<charT>::get()) will be caught and cause -badbit to be set, these two functions should not be treated -differently for the sake of consistency. -

    - - -

    Proposed resolution:

    - - -

    Rationale:

    -Not a defect. The standard is consistent, and the behavior required -by the standard is unambiguous. Yes, it's theoretically possible for -widen to throw. (Not that this will happen for the default ctype -facet or for most real-world replacement ctype facets.) Users who -define ctype facets that can throw, and who care about this behavior, -can use alternative signatures that don't call widen. +There is a contradiction in Formatted output about what bit is +supposed to be set if the formatting fails. On sentence says it's +badbit and another that it's failbit. +

    +

    +27.6.2.5.1, p1 says in the Common Requirements on Formatted output +functions: +

    +
         ... If the generation fails, then the formatted output function
    +     does setstate(ios::failbit), which might throw an exception.
    +
    +

    +27.6.2.5.2, p1 goes on to say this about Arithmetic Inserters: +

    +

    + ... The formatting conversion occurs as if it performed the + following code fragment:

    +
         bool failed =
    +         use_facet<num_put<charT,ostreambuf_iterator<charT,traits>
    +         > >
    +         (getloc()).put(*this, *this, fill(), val). failed();
     
    +     ... If failed is true then does setstate(badbit) ...
    +
    +

    +The original intent of the text, according to Jerry Schwarz (see +c++std-lib-10500), is captured in the following paragraph: +

    +

    +In general "badbit" should mean that the stream is unusable because +of some underlying failure, such as disk full or socket closure; +"failbit" should mean that the requested formatting wasn't possible +because of some inconsistency such as negative widths. So typically +if you clear badbit and try to output something else you'll fail +again, but if you clear failbit and try to output something else +you'll succeed. +

    +

    +In the case of the arithmetic inserters, since num_put cannot +report failure by any means other than exceptions (in response +to which the stream must set badbit, which prevents the kind of +recoverable error reporting mentioned above), the only other +detectable failure is if the iterator returned from num_put +returns true from failed(). +

    +

    +Since that can only happen (at least with the required iostream +specializations) under such conditions as the underlying failure +referred to above (e.g., disk full), setting badbit would seem +to be the appropriate response (indeed, it is required in +27.6.2.5.2, p1). It follows that failbit can never be directly +set by the arithmetic (it can only be set by the sentry object +under some unspecified conditions). +

    +

    +The situation is different for other formatted output functions +which can fail as a result of the streambuf functions failing +(they may do so by means other than exceptions), and which are +then required to set failbit. +

    +

    +The contradiction, then, is that ostream::operator<<(int) will +set badbit if the disk is full, while operator<<(ostream&, +char) will set failbit under the same conditions.

    [Kona: There's agreement that this is a real issue. What we + decided at Kona: 1. An error from the buffer (which can be detected + either directly from streambuf's member functions or by examining a + streambuf_iterator) should always result in badbit getting set. + 2. There should never be a circumstance where failbit gets set. + That represents a formatting error, and there are no circumstances + under which the output facets are specified as signaling a + formatting error. (Even more so for string output that for numeric + because there's nothing to format.) If we ever decide to make it + possible for formatting errors to exist then the facets can signal + the error directly, and that should go in clause 22, not clause 27. + 3. The phrase "if generation fails" is unclear and should be + eliminated. It's not clear whether it's intended to mean a buffer + error (e.g. a full disk), a formatting error, or something else. + Most people thought it was supposed to refer to buffer errors; if + so, we should say so.

    398. effects of end-of-file on unformatted input functions

    Discussion:

    +

    +While reviewing unformatted input member functions of istream +for their behavior when they encounter end-of-file during input +I found that the requirements vary, sometimes unexpectedly, and +in more than one case even contradict established practice (GNU +libstdc++ 3.2, IBM VAC++ 6.0, STLPort 4.5, SunPro 5.3, HP aCC +5.38, Rogue Wave libstd 3.1, and Classic Iostreams). +

    +

    +The following unformatted input member functions set eofbit if they +encounter an end-of-file (this is the expected behavior, and also +the behavior of all major implementations): +

    +
        basic_istream<charT, traits>&
    +    get (char_type*, streamsize, char_type);
    +    
    +

    + Also sets failbit if it fails to extract any characters. +

    +
        basic_istream<charT, traits>&
    +    get (char_type*, streamsize);
    +    
    +

    + Also sets failbit if it fails to extract any characters. +

    +
        basic_istream<charT, traits>&
    +    getline (char_type*, streamsize, char_type);
    +    
    +

    + Also sets failbit if it fails to extract any characters. +

    +
        basic_istream<charT, traits>&
    +    getline (char_type*, streamsize);
    +    
    +

    + Also sets failbit if it fails to extract any characters. +

    +
        basic_istream<charT, traits>&
    +    ignore (int, int_type);
    +    
    +
        basic_istream<charT, traits>&
    +    read (char_type*, streamsize);
    +    
    +

    + Also sets failbit if it encounters end-of-file. +

    +
        streamsize readsome (char_type*, streamsize);
    +    
    + +

    +The following unformated input member functions set failbit but +not eofbit if they encounter an end-of-file (I find this odd +since the functions make it impossible to distinguish a general +failure from a failure due to end-of-file; the requirement is +also in conflict with all major implementation which set both +eofbit and failbit): +

    +
        int_type get();
    +    
    +
        basic_istream<charT, traits>&
    +    get (char_type&);
    +    
    +

    +These functions only set failbit of they extract no characters, +otherwise they don't set any bits, even on failure (I find this +inconsistency quite unexpected; the requirement is also in +conflict with all major implementations which set eofbit +whenever they encounter end-of-file): +

    +
        basic_istream<charT, traits>&
    +    get (basic_streambuf<charT, traits>&, char_type);
    +    
    +
        basic_istream<charT, traits>&
    +    get (basic_streambuf<charT, traits>&);
    +    
    +

    +This function sets no bits (all implementations except for +STLport and Classic Iostreams set eofbit when they encounter +end-of-file): +

    +
        int_type peek ();
    +    
    +

    Informally, what we want is a global statement of intent saying + that eofbit gets set if we trip across EOF, and then we can take + away the specific wording for individual functions. A full review + is necessary. The wording currently in the standard is a mishmash, + and changing it on an individual basis wouldn't make things better. + Dietmar will do this work.

    -Clause 15.5.2 [except.unexpected] paragraph 1 says that "void unexpected(); -is called (18.7.2) immediately after completing the stack unwinding -for the former function", but 18.7.2.4 (Effects) says that "void -unexpected(); . . . Calls the unexpected_handler function in effect -immediately after evaluating the throwexpression (18.7.2.2),". Isn't -here a contradiction: 15.5.2 requires stack have been unwound when in -void unexpected() and therefore in unexpected_handler but 18.7.2.4 -claims that unexpected_handler is called "in effect immediately" after -evaluation of throw expression is finished, so there is no space left -for stack to be unwound therefore? I think the phrase "in effect -immediately" should be removed from the standard because it brings -ambiguity in understanding. -

    - +

    +The Effects clauses for the two functions below violate the +general requirements on unformatted input functions outlined +in 27.6.1.3: they do not begin by constructing a sentry object. +Instead, they begin by calling widen ('\n'), which may throw +an exception. The exception is then allowed to propagate from +the unformatted input function irrespective of the setting of +exceptions(). +

    +

    +Note that in light of 27.6.1.1, p3 and p4, the fact that the +functions allow exceptions thrown from widen() to propagate +may not strictly speaking be a defect (but the fact that the +functions do not start by constructing a sentry object still +is). However, since an exception thrown from ctype<charT> +::widen() during any other input operation (say, from within +a call to num_get<charT>::get()) will be caught and cause +badbit to be set, these two functions should not be treated +differently for the sake of consistency. +

    +

    Proposed resolution:

    Rationale:

    -

    There is no contradiction. The phrase "in effect immediately" is - just to clarify which handler is to be called.

    +

    +Not a defect. The standard is consistent, and the behavior required +by the standard is unambiguous. Yes, it's theoretically possible for +widen to throw. (Not that this will happen for the default ctype +facet or for most real-world replacement ctype facets.) Users who +define ctype facets that can throw, and who care about this behavior, +can use alternative signatures that don't call widen. +

    Discussion:

    -Given: +The Effects and Returns clauses of the do_widen() member function of +the ctype facet fail to specify the behavior of the function on failure. +That the function may not be able to simply cast the narrow character +argument to the type of the result since doing so may yield the wrong value +for some wchar_t encodings. Popular implementations of ctype<wchar_t> that +use mbtowc() and UTF-8 as the native encoding (e.g., GNU glibc) will fail +when the argument's MSB is set. There is no way for the the rest of locale +and iostream to reliably detect this failure.

    void f(int) {}
    -void(*g)(int) = f;
    -cout << g;
    -
    +

    [Kona: This is a real problem. Widening can fail. It's unclear + what the solution should be. Returning WEOF works for the wchar_t + specialization, but not in general. One option might be to add a + default, like narrow. But that's an incompatible change. + Using traits::eof might seem like a good idea, but facets + don't have access to traits (a recurring problem). We could + have widen throw an exception, but that's a scary option; + existing library components aren't written with the assumption + that widen can throw.]

    Discussion:

    -Operations like pow and exp on -complex<T> are typically implemented in terms of -operations like sin and cos on T. -Should implementations write this as std::sin, or as plain -unqualified sin? +The reflector thread starting with c++std-lib-11346 notes that the class +template basic_streambuf, along with basic_stringbuf and basic_filebuf, +is copy-constructible but that the semantics of the copy constructors +are not defined anywhere. Further, different implementations behave +differently in this respect: some prevent copy construction of objects +of these types by declaring their copy ctors and assignment operators +private, others exhibit undefined behavior, while others still give +these operations well-defined semantics.

    -

    The issue, of course, is whether we want to use -argument-dependent lookup in the case where T is a -user-defined type. This is similar to the issue of valarray -transcendentals, as discussed in issue 226.

    - -

    This issue differs from valarray transcendentals in two important -ways. First, "the effect of instantiating the template -complex for types other than float, double or long double is -unspecified." (26.4.1 [complex.syn]) Second, the standard does not -dictate implementation, so there is no guarantee that a particular -real math function is used in the implementation of a particular -complex function.

    +

    +Note that this problem doesn't seem to be isolated to just the three +types mentioned above. A number of other types in the library section +of the standard provide a compiler-generated copy ctor and assignment +operator yet fail to specify their semantics. It's believed that the +only types for which this is actually a problem (i.e. types where the +compiler-generated default may be inappropriate and may not have been +intended) are locale facets.

    -is obliged to create a locale that has no name. This is overspecification -and overkill. The resulting locale should follow the usual rules -- it -has a name if the locale argument has a name and Facet is one of the -standard facets. +A third party test suite tries to exercise istream::ignore(N) with +a negative value of N and expects that the implementation will treat +N as if it were 0. Our implementation asserts that (N >= 0) holds and +aborts the test. +

    + +

    +I can't find anything in section 27 that prohibits such values but I don't +see what the effects of such calls should be, either (this applies to +a number of unformatted input functions as well as some member functions +of the basic_streambuf template).

To -match this behavior requires intimate cooperation between the code -that calls destructors and the exit/atexit machinery. The former -is tied tightly to the compiler; the latter is a primitive mechanism -inherited from C that traditionally has nothing to do with static -construction and destruction. The benefits of intermixing destructor -calls with atexit handler calls is questionable at best, and very -difficult to get right, particularly when mixing third-party C++ -libraries with different third-party C++ compilers and C libraries -supplied by still other parties. +Given:

    -I believe the right thing to do is defer all static destruction -until after all atexit handlers are called.

    -    g of the container's value_type on a container object c that
    -    called g from its mutating member function h, is undefined.
    -    I.e., if v is an element of c, directly or indirectly calling

    Discussion:

    -There is no "Returns:" clause for std::equal_range, which returns non-void. +Operations like pow and exp on +complex<T> are typically implemented in terms of +operations like sin and cos on T. +Should implementations write this as std::sin, or as plain +unqualified sin?

    +

    The issue, of course, is whether we want to use +argument-dependent lookup in the case where T is a +user-defined type. This is similar to the issue of valarray +transcendentals, as discussed in issue 226.

    + +

    This issue differs from valarray transcendentals in two important +ways. First, "the effect of instantiating the template +complex for types other than float, double or long double is +unspecified." (26.4.1 [complex.syn]) Second, the standard does not +dictate implementation, so there is no guarantee that a particular +real math function is used in the implementation of a particular +complex function.

    The classes std::unary_function and std::binary_function are both -designed to be inherited from but contain no virtual functions. This -makes it too easy for a novice programmer to write code like -binary_function<int, int, int> *p = new plus<int>; delete p;

    There are two common ways to prevent this source of undefined -behavior: give the base class a public virtual destructor, or give it -a protected nonvirtual destructor. Since unary_function and -binary_function have no other virtual functions, (note in particular -the absence of an operator()() ), it would cost too much to give them -public virtual destructors. Therefore, they should be given protected -nonvirtual destructors.

    From comp.std.c++:

    +

    When parsing strings of wide-character digits, the standard + requires the library to widen narrow-character "atoms" and compare + the widened atoms against the characters that are being parsed. + Simply narrowing the wide characters would be far simpler, and + probably more efficient. The two choices are equivalent except in + convoluted test cases, and many implementations already ignore the + standard and use narrow instead of widen.

    -I note that given an input iterator a for type T, -then *a only has to be "convertable to T", not actually of type T. +First, I disagree that using narrow() instead of widen() would +necessarily have unfortunate performance implications. A possible +implementation of narrow() that allows num_get to be implemented +in a much simpler and arguably comparably efficient way as calling +widen() allows, i.e. without making a virtual call to do_narrow every +time, is as follows:

    -

    Firstly, I can't seem to find an exact definition of "convertable to T". -While I assume it is the obvious definition (an implicit conversion), I -can't find an exact definition. Is there one?

    - -

    Slightly more worryingly, there doesn't seem to be any restriction on -the this type, other than it is "convertable to T". Consider two input -iterators a and b. I would personally assume that most people would -expect *a==*b would perform T(*a)==T(*b), however it doesn't seem that -the standard requires that, and that whatever type *a is (call it U) -could have == defined on it with totally different symantics and still -be a valid inputer iterator.

    - -

    Is this a correct reading? When using input iterators should I write -T(*a) all over the place to be sure that the object i'm using is the -class I expect?

    - -

    This is especially a nuisance for operations that are defined to be - "convertible to bool". (This is probably allowed so that - implementations could return say an int and avoid an unnessary - conversion. However all implementations I have seen simply return a - bool anyway. Typical implemtations of STL algorithms just write - things like while(a!=b && *a!=0). But strictly - speaking, there are lots of types that are convertible to T but - that also overload the appropriate operators so this doesn't behave - as expected.

    - -

    If we want to make code like this legal (which most people seem to - expect), then we'll need to tighten up what we mean by "convertible - to T".

    - -

    [Lillehammer: The first part is NAD, since "convertible" is - well-defined in core. The second part is basically about pathological - overloads. It's a minor problem but a real one. So leave open for - now, hope we solve it as part of iterator redesign.]

    Proposed resolution:

    +

    +Second, I don't think the change proposed in the issue (i.e., to use +narrow() instead of widen() during Stage 2) would be at all +drastic. Existing implementations with the exception of libstdc++ +currently already use narrow() so the impact of the change on programs +would presumably be isolated to just a single implementation. Further, +since narrow() is not required to translate alternate wide digit +representations such as those mentioned in issue 303 +to +their narrow equivalents (i.e., the portable source characters '0' +through '9'), the change does not necessarily imply that these +alternate digits would be treated as ordinary digits and accepted as +part of numbers during parsing. In fact, the requirement in 22.4.1.1.2 +[locale.ctype.virtuals], p13 forbids narrow() to translate an alternate +digit character, wc, to an ordinary digit in the basic source +character set unless the expression +(ctype<charT>::is(ctype_base::digit, wc) == true) holds. This in +turn is prohibited by the C standard (7.25.2.1.5, 7.25.2.1.5, and +5.2.1, respectively) for charT of either char or wchar_t. +

    + +

    [Sydney: To a large extent this is a nonproblem. As long as +you're only trafficking in char and wchar_t we're only dealing with a +stable character set, so you don't really need either 'widen' or +'narrow': can just use literals. Finally, it's not even clear whether +widen-vs-narrow is the right question; arguably we should be using +codecvt instead.]

    Discussion:

    -The standard's version of allocator::construct(pointer, -const_reference) severely limits what you can construct using this -function. Say you can construct a socket from a file descriptor. Now, -using this syntax, I first have to manually construct a socket from -the fd, and then pass the constructed socket to the construct() -function so it will just to an uninitialized copy of the socket I -manually constructed. Now it may not always be possible to copy -construct a socket eh! So, I feel that the changes should go in the -allocator::construct(), making it: +3.6.3 Termination spells out in detail the interleaving of static +destructor calls and calls to functions registered with atexit. To +match this behavior requires intimate cooperation between the code +that calls destructors and the exit/atexit machinery. The former +is tied tightly to the compiler; the latter is a primitive mechanism +inherited from C that traditionally has nothing to do with static +construction and destruction. The benefits of intermixing destructor +calls with atexit handler calls is questionable at best, and very +difficult to get right, particularly when mixing third-party C++ +libraries with different third-party C++ compilers and C libraries +supplied by still other parties.

    -
        template<typename T>
    -    struct allocator{
    -      template<typename T1>
    -      void construct(pointer T1 const& rt1);
    -    };
    -

    -Now, the ctor of the class T which matches the one that takes a T1 can -be called! Doesn't that sound great? +I believe the right thing to do is defer all static destruction +until after all atexit handlers are called. This is a change in +behavior, but one that is likely visible only to perverse test +suites. At the very least, we should permit deferred destruction +even if we don't require it.

    +

    [If this is to be changed, it should probably be changed by CWG. + At this point, however, the LWG is leaning toward NAD. Implementing + what the standard says is hard work, but it's not impossible and + most vendors went through that pain years ago. Changing this + behavior would be a user-visible change, and would break at least + one real application.]

    In Section 25.2.7 [lib.alg.remove], paragraphs 1 to 5 describe the -behavior of the mutating sequence operations std::remove and -std::remove_if.

    -25.2.7 [lib.alg.remove], paragraph 4: +Today, my colleagues and me wasted a lot of time. After some time, I +found the problem. It could be reduced to the following short example:

    +
      #include <string>
    +  int main() { std::string( 0 ); }
    +
    + +

    The problem is that the tested compilers (GCC 2.95.2, GCC 3.3.1 and +Comeau online) compile the above without errors or warnings! The +programs (at least for the GCC) resulted in a SEGV.

    + +

    I know that the standard explicitly states that the ctor of string +requires a char* which is not zero. STLs could easily detect the above +case with a private ctor for basic_string which takes a single 'int' +argument. This would catch the above code at compile time and would not +ambiguate any other legal ctors.

    + +

    [Redmond: No great enthusiasm for doing this. If we do, + however, we want to do it for all places that take charT* + pointers, not just the single-argument constructor.

The wording ", where k shall -denote a value of type ForwardIterator" might be redundant, because it -follows implicitly by 25.2.7/3. -e) "Places" does, in the author's opinion, explicitly forbid duplicating -any element holding the corresponding condition in the original range -[first, last) within the resulting range [first, k). If there is doubt -this term might be not unambiguous regarding this, it is suggested that -k is specified more closely by the following wording: "k shall denote a -value of type ForwardIterator [Note: see d)] so that k - first is equal -to the number of elements in the original range [first, last) for which -the corresponding condition did hold". This could also be expressed as a -separate paragraph "Postcondition:" -f) The senctence "It is undefined whether any elements in the resulting -subrange [k, last) will hold the corresponding condition, or not." was -added consciously so the term "Places" does not imply if the original -range [first, last) contains n elements holding the corresponding -condition, the identical range[first, last) will also contain exactly n -elements holding the corresponding condition after application of the -algorithm. -

    Discussion:

    -

    In Section 25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraphs 1 to 3 describe the -behavior of the mutating sequence operation std::unique. However, the -wording does not reflect the intended behavior [Note: See definition of -intended behavior below] of these algorithms, as it is known to the C++ -community [1].

    +

    24.1/3 says:

    +

    + Forward iterators satisfy all the requirements of the input and + output iterators and can be used whenever either kind is specified +

    +

    +The problem is that satisfying the requirements of output iterator +means that you can always assign *something* into the result of +dereferencing it. That makes almost all non-mutable forward +iterators non-conforming. I think we need to sever the refinement +relationship between forward iterator and output iterator. +

    1) Analysis of current wording:

    +

    Related issue: 200. But this is not a dup.

    -

    25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 1:

    -

    -Current wording says: -"Effects: Eliminates all but the first element from every consecutive -group of equal elements referred to by the iterator i in the range -[first, last) for which the following corresponding conditions hold: *i -== *(i - 1) or pred(*i, *(i -1)) != false" -

    +

    Proposed resolution:

    -

    -This sentences expresses specifically that all elements denoted by the -(original) range [first, last) which are not but the first element from -a consecutive group of equal elements (where equality is defined as *i -== *(i - 1) or pred(*i, *(i - 1)) ! = false) [Note: See DR 202], call -them r-elements [Note: r...remove], will be eliminated. Since there is -no formal definition of the term "eliminate" provided, it is undefined -how this "elimination" takes place. But the meaning of "eliminate" in -everyday language seems to disallow explicitly that after application of -the algorithm, any r-element will remain at any position of the range -[first, last) [2]. -

    -

    -Another defect in the current wording concerns the iterators used to -compare two elements for equality: The current wording contains the -expression "(i - 1)", which is not covered by 25/9 [Note: See DR -submitted by Thomas Mang regarding invalid iterator arithmetic -expressions]. -

    +

    Rationale:

    +

    Yes, 24.1/3 does say that. But it's introductory material. The +precise specification is in 24.1.3, and the requrements table there is +right. We don't need to fine-tune introductory wording. (Especially +since this wording is likely to be changed as part of the iterator +overhaul.)

    -

    -25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 2: -

    -

    Current wording says: -"Returns: The end of the resulting range."

    -

    -The resulting range is not specified. In combination with 25.2.8 -[lib.alg.unique], paragraph 1, one reasonable interpretation (in the -author's opinion even the only possible interpretation) of this -so-called resulting range is the range [first, last) - thus returning -always the ForwardIterator 'last' parameter. -

    Discussion:

    -For the rest of this Defect Report, it is assumed that the intended -behavior was that all elements denoted by the original range [first, -last) which are the first element from a consecutive group of elements -for which the corresponding conditions: *(i-1) == *i (for the version of -unique without a predicate argument) or pred(*(i-1), *i) ! = false (for -the version of unique with a predicate argument) [Note: If such a group -of elements consists of only a single element, this is also considered -the first element] [Note: See resolutions of DR 202], call them -s-elements [Note: s...stay], will be placed into a contiguous subrange -of [first, last), denoted by the iterators [first, return value). The -number of elements in the resulting range [first, return value) shall be -equal to the number of s-elements in the original range [first, last). -Invalid iterator arithmetic expressions are expected to be resolved as -proposed in DR submitted by Thomas Mang regarding invalid iterator -arithmetic expressions. It is also assumed by the author that the -relative order of the elements in the resulting subrange [first, return -value) shall be the same as the relative order of the corresponding -elements (the s-elements) in the original range [Note: If this was not -intended behavior, the additional proposed paragraph about stable order -will certainly become obsolete]. -Furthermore, the resolutions of DR 202 are partially considered. +The Forward Iterator requirements table contains the following:

    +
     expression  return type         operational  precondition
    +                                  semantics
    +  ==========  ==================  ===========  ==========================
    +  a->m        U& if X is mutable, (*a).m       pre: (*a).m is well-defined.
    +              otherwise const U&
    +
    +  r->m        U&                  (*r).m       pre: (*r).m is well-defined.
    +

    -All implementations known to the author of this Defect Report comply -with this intent [Note: Except possible effects of DR 202]. Since this -intent of the behavior (contrary to the current wording) is also -described in various utility references serving the C++ community [1], -it is not expected that fixing the paragraphs will influence current -code [Note: Except possible effects of DR 202] - unless the code relies -on the behavior as it is described by current wording and the -implementation indeed reflects the current wording, and not the intent. +The first line is exactly right. The second line is wrong. Basically +it implies that the const-ness of the iterator affects the const-ness +of referenced members. But Paragraph 11 of [lib.iterator.requirements] says:

    +

    + In the following sections, a and b denote values of type const X, n + denotes a value of the difference type Distance, u, tmp, and m + denote identifiers, r denotes a value of X&, t denotes a value of + value type T, o denotes a value of some type that is writable to + the output iterator. +

    +

    AFAICT if we need the second line at all, it should read the same +as the first line.

    -

    Comments to the new wording:

    +

    Proposed resolution:

    -

    -a) The new wording was influenced by the resolutions of DR 202. If DR -202 is resolved in another way, the proposed wording need also -additional review. -b) "Places" has no special meaning, and the everyday language meaning -should fit. -c) The expression "(i - 1)" was left, but is expected that DR submitted -by Thomas Mang regarding invalid iterator arithmetic expressions will -take this into account. -d) The wording "(for the version of unique without a predicate -argument)" and "(for the version of unique with a predicate argument)" -was added consciously for clarity and is in resemblence with current -23.2.2.4 [lib.list.ops], paragraph 19. It might be considered redundant. -e) The wording "of the original range" might be redundant, since any -subrange starting at first and containing no more elements than the -original range is implicitly a subrange of the original range [first, -last). -f) The iterator k was introduced instead of "return value" in order to -avoid a cyclic dependency on 25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 2. The -wording ", where k shall denote a value of type ForwardIterator" might -be redundant, because it follows implicitly by 25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], -paragraph 2. -g) "Places" does, in the author's opinion, explicitly forbid duplicating -any s-element in the original range [first, last) within the resulting -range [first, k). If there is doubt this term might be not unambiguous -regarding this, it is suggested that k is specified more closely by the -following wording: "k shall denote a value of type ForwardIterator -[Note: See f)] so that k - first is equal to the number of elements in -the original range [first, last) being the first element from every -consecutive group of elements for which the corresponding condition did -hold". This could also be expressed as a separate paragraph -"Postcondition:". -h) If it is considered that the wording is unclear whether it declares -the element of a group which consists of only a single element -implicitly to be the first element of this group [Note: Such an -interpretation could eventually arise especially in case last - first == -1] , the following additional sentence is proposed: "If such a group of -elements consists of only a single element, this element is also -considered the first element." -

    -

    -Change 25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 2 to: -"Returns: The iterator k." +

    Rationale:

    +

    The LWG agrees that this is a real problem. Marked as a DUP + because the LWG chose to adopt the solution proposed in + 478.

    -

    -Add a separate paragraph "Notes:" as 25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph -2a or 3a, or a separate paragraph "Postcondition:" before 25.2.8 -[lib.alg.unique], paragraph 2 (wording inside {} shall be eliminated if -the preceding expressions are used, or the preceding expressions shall -be eliminated if wording inside {} is used): -

    -

    Comments to the new wording:

    -

    -a) It is assumed by the author that the algorithm was intended to be -stable. -In case this was not the intent, this paragraph becomes certainly -obsolete. -b) The wording "was ... prior to application of the algorithm" is used -to explicitly distinguish the original range not only by means of -iterators, but also by a 'chronological' factor from the resulting range -[first, return value). It might be redundant. -

    -

    In Section 23.3.4.4 [list.ops], paragraphs 19 to 21 describe the -behavior of the std::list<T, Allocator>::unique operation. However, the -current wording is defective for various reasons.

    +

    The classes std::unary_function and std::binary_function are both +designed to be inherited from but contain no virtual functions. This +makes it too easy for a novice programmer to write code like +binary_function<int, int, int> *p = new plus<int>; delete p;

    +

    There are two common ways to prevent this source of undefined +behavior: give the base class a public virtual destructor, or give it +a protected nonvirtual destructor. Since unary_function and +binary_function have no other virtual functions, (note in particular +the absence of an operator()() ), it would cost too much to give them +public virtual destructors. Therefore, they should be given protected +nonvirtual destructors.

    -1) Analysis of current wording: -

    +

    Proposed resolution:

    +

    Change Paragraph 20.3.1 of the Standard from

    +    struct unary_function {
    +        typedef Arg argument_type;
    +        typedef Result result_type;

    -

    -Current wording says: -"Effects: Eliminates all but the first element from every consecutive -group of equal elements referred to by the iterator i in the range -[first + 1, last) for which *i == *(i - 1) (for the version of unique -with no argument) or pred(*i, *(i -1)) (for the version of unique with a -predicate argument) holds."

    +

    to

    +
        template <class Arg, class Result>
    +        struct unary_function {
    +        typedef Arg argument_type;
    +        typedef Result result_type;
    +    protected:
    +        ~unary_function() {}
    +    };
     
    -

    -This sentences makes use of the undefined term "Eliminates". Although it -is, to a certain degree, reasonable to consider the term "eliminate" -synonymous with "erase", using "Erase" in the first place, as the -wording of 23.3.4.4 [list.ops], paragraph 15 does, would be clearer.

    + template <class Arg1, class Arg2, class Result> + struct binary_function { + typedef Arg1 first_argument_type; + typedef Arg2 second_argument_type; + typedef Result result_type; + protected: + ~binary_function() {} + }; +
    -

    -The range of the elements referred to by iterator i is "[first + 1, -last)". However, neither "first" nor "last" is defined.

    -

    -The sentence makes three times use of iterator arithmetic expressions ( -"first + 1", "*i == *(i - 1)", "pred(*i, *(i -1))" ) which is not -defined for bidirectional iterator [see DR submitted by Thomas Mang -regarding invalid iterator arithmetic expressions].

    -The sentence makes two times use of invalid iterator arithmetic -expressions ( "*i == *(i - 1)", "pred(*i, *(i -1))" ). -

    -

    -[Note: Minor typos: "in" / missing dot at end of sentence.] +The standard says that unique(first, last) "eliminates all but the +first element from every consecutive group of equal elements" in +[first, last) and returns "the end of the resulting range". So a +postcondition is that [first, result) is the same as the old [first, +last) except that duplicates have been eliminated.

    -

    -23.3.4.4 [list.ops], paragraph 21:

    +

    What postconditions are there on the range [result, last)? One + might argue that the standard says nothing about those values, so + they can be anything. One might also argue that the standard + doesn't permit those values to be changed, so they must not be. + Should the standard say something explicit one way or the other?

    -

    -Current wording says: -"Complexity: If the range (last - first) is not empty, exactly (last - -first) - 1 applications of the corresponding predicate, otherwise no -application of the predicate.

    - - -

    2) Description of intended behavior:

    +

    -

    -For the rest of this Defect Report, it is assumed that "eliminate" is -supposed to be synonymous to "erase", that "first" is equivalent to an -iterator obtained by a call to begin(), "last" is equivalent to an -iterator obtained by a call to end(), and that all invalid iterator -arithmetic expressions are resolved as described in DR submitted by -Thomas Mang regarding invalid iterator arithmetic expressions.

    -

    -Furthermore, the resolutions of DR 202 are considered regarding -equivalence relation and order of arguments for a call to pred.

    +

    Rationale:

    +

    We don't want to make many guarantees about what's in [result, +end). Maybe we aren't being quite explicit enough about not being +explicit, but it's hard to think that's a major problem.

    -

    -All implementations known to the author of this Defect Report comply -with these assumptions, apart from the impact of the alternative -resolution of DR 202. Except for the changes implied by the resolutions -of DR 202, no impact on current code is expected.

    Further discussion (c++std-lib-14264): this problem affects a + number of algorithsm in clause 25, not just find. We + should try to resolve this problem everywhere it appears.

    -

    "Note: For input iterators, a==b does not imply ++a=++b (Equality does -not guarantee the substitution property or referential transparency)."

    However, when in Table 72, part of the definition of ++r is given as:

    494. Wrong runtime complexity for associative container's insert and delete

    Discussion:

    -

    According to [lib.associative.reqmts] table 69, the runtime comlexity -of insert(p, t) and erase(q) can be done in amortized constant time.

    -

    It was my understanding that an associative container could be -implemented as a balanced binary tree.

    -

    For inser(p, t), you 'll have to iterate to p's next node to see if t -can be placed next to p. Furthermore, the insertion usually takes -place at leaf nodes. An insert next to the root node will be done at -the left of the root next node

    +

    Rationale:

    +

    Duplicate of (a subset of) issue 283.

    -

    So when p is the root node you 'll have to iterate from the root to -its next node, which takes O(log(size)) time in a balanced tree.

    -

    If you insert all values with insert(root, t) (where root is the -root of the tree before insertion) then each insert takes O(log(size)) -time. The amortized complexity per insertion will be O(log(size)) -also.

    -

    For erase(q), the normal algorithm for deleting a node that has no -empty left or right subtree, is to iterate to the next (or previous), -which is a leaf node. Then exchange the node with the next and delete -the leaf node. Furthermore according to DR 130, erase should return -the next node of the node erased. Thus erasing the root node, -requires iterating to the next node.

    -

    Now if you empty a map by deleting the root node until the map is -empty, each operation will take O(log(size)), and the amortized -complexity is still O(log(size)).

    -

    The operations can be done in amortized constant time if iterating -to the next node can be done in (non amortized) constant time. This -can be done by putting all nodes in a double linked list. This -requires two extra links per node. To me this is a bit overkill since -you can already efficiently insert or erase ranges with erase(first, -last) and insert(first, last).

    -1 The Summary provides a synopsis of the category, and introduces the -first-level subclauses. Each subclause also provides a summary, listing -the headers specified in the subclause and the library entities -provided in each header. -

    -2 Paragraphs labelled "Note(s):" or "Example(s):" are informative, -other paragraphs are normative. -

    -"For templates greater, less, greater_equal, and less_equal, -the specializations for any pointer type yield a total order, even if -the built-in operators <, >, <=, >= do not." -

    +

    Current wording says: +"Effects: Eliminates all the elements referred to by iterator i in the +range [first, last) for which the following corresponding conditions +hold: *i == value, pred(*i) != false."

    -The standard should do much better than guarantee that these provide a -total order, it should guarantee that it can be used to test if memory -overlaps, i.e. write a portable memmove. You can imagine a platform -where the built-in operators use a uint32_t comparison (this tests for -overlap on this platform) but the less<T*> functor is allowed to be -defined to use a int32_t comparison. On this platform, if you use -std::less with the intent of making a portable memmove, comparison on -an array that straddles the 0x7FFFFFFF/0x8000000 boundary can give -incorrect results. +This sentences expresses specifically that all elements denoted by the +(original) range [first, last) for which the corresponding condition +hold will be eliminated. Since there is no formal definition of the term +"eliminate" provided, the meaning of "eliminate" in everyday language +implies that as postcondition, no element in the range denoted by +[first, last) will hold the corresponding condition on reiteration over +the range [first, last).

    - -

    Proposed resolution:

    -Add a footnote to 20.5.3/8 saying: +However, this is neither the intent [Note: See definition of intended +behavior below] nor a general possible approach. It can be easily proven +that if all elements of the original range[first, last) will hold the +condition, it is not possible to substitute them by an element for which +the condition will not hold.

    -

    -Given a p1 and p2 such that p1 points to N objects of type T and p2 -points to M objects of type T. If [p1,p1+N) does not overlap [p2,p2+M), -less returns the same value when comparing all pointers in [p1,p1+N) to -all pointers in [p2,p2+M). Otherwise, there is a value Q and a value R -such that less returns the same value when comparing all pointers in -[p1,p1+Q) to all pointers in [p2,p2+R) and an opposite value when -comparing all pointers in [p1+Q,p1+N) to all pointers in [p2+R,p2+M). -For the sake of completeness, the null pointer value (4.10) for T is -considered to be an array of 1 object that doesn't overlap with any -non-null pointer to T. less_equal, greater, greater_equal, equal_to, -and not_equal_to give the expected results based on the total ordering -semantics of less. For T of void, treat it as having similar semantics -as T of char i.e. less<cv T*>(a, b) gives the same results as less<cv -void*>(a, b) which gives the same results as less<cv char*>((cv -char*)(cv void*)a, (cv char*)(cv void*)b). -

    + +

    25.2.7 [lib.alg.remove], paragraph 3:

    -I'm also thinking there should be a footnote to 20.5.3/1 saying that if -A and B are similar types (4.4/4), comp<A>(a,b) returns the same value -as comp<B>(a,b) (where comp is less, less_equal, etc.). But this might -be problematic if there is some really funky operator overloading going -on that does different things based on cv (that should be undefined -behavior if somebody does that though). This at least should be -guaranteed for all POD types (especially pointers) that use the -built-in comparison operators. +Current wording says: +"Returns: The end of the resulting range."

    - - -

    Rationale:

    -less is already required to provide a strict weak ordering which is good enough -to detect overlapping memory situations. +The resulting range is not specified. In combination with 25.2.7 +[lib.alg.remove], paragraph 2, the only reasonable interpretation of +this so-called resulting range is the range [first,last) - thus +returning always the ForwardIterator 'last' parameter.

    Change 25.2.7 [lib.alg.remove], paragraph 2 to:

    -

    Rationale:

    -Jens: Just requiring X(unsigned long) still makes it possible -for an evil library writer to also supply a X(int) that does something -unexpected. The wording above requires that X(s) always performs -as if X(unsigned long) would have been called. I believe that is -sufficient and implements our intentions from Mont Tremblant. I -see no additional use in actually requiring a X(unsigned long) -signature. u.seed(s) is covered by its reference to X(s), same -arguments. +"Effect: Places all the elements referred to by iterator i in the range +[first, last) for which the following corresponding conditions hold : +!(*i == value), pred(*i) == false into the subrange [first, k) of the +original range, where k shall denote a value of type ForwardIterator. It +is undefined whether any elements in the resulting subrange [k, last) +will hold the corresponding condition, or not."

    +

    Comments to the new wording:

    -

    [ -Portland: Subsumed by N2111. -]

    +

    +a) "Places" has no special meaning, and the everyday language meaning +should fit. +b) The corresponding conditions were negated compared to the current +wording, becaue the new wording requires it. +c) The wording "of the original range" might be redundant, since any +subrange starting at 'first' and containing no more elements than the +original range is implicitly a subrange of the original range [first, +last). +d) The iterator k was introduced instead of "return value" in order to +avoid a cyclic dependency on 25.2.7/3. The wording ", where k shall +denote a value of type ForwardIterator" might be redundant, because it +follows implicitly by 25.2.7/3. +e) "Places" does, in the author's opinion, explicitly forbid duplicating +any element holding the corresponding condition in the original range +[first, last) within the resulting range [first, k). If there is doubt +this term might be not unambiguous regarding this, it is suggested that +k is specified more closely by the following wording: "k shall denote a +value of type ForwardIterator [Note: see d)] so that k - first is equal +to the number of elements in the original range [first, last) for which +the corresponding condition did hold". This could also be expressed as a +separate paragraph "Postcondition:" +f) The senctence "It is undefined whether any elements in the resulting +subrange [k, last) will hold the corresponding condition, or not." was +added consciously so the term "Places" does not imply if the original +range [first, last) contains n elements holding the corresponding +condition, the identical range[first, last) will also contain exactly n +elements holding the corresponding condition after application of the +algorithm. +

    +

    +Change 25.2.7 [lib.alg.remove], paragraph 3 to: +"Returns: The iterator k." +

    +

    +Change 25.2.7 [lib.alg.remove], paragraph 4 to: +"Notes: Stable: the relative order of the elements that are placed into +the subrange [first, return value) shall be the same as their relative +order was in the original range [first, last) prior to application of +the algorithm." +

    Discussion:

    -In [tr.rand.dist.bern] the distribution currently requires; +Another defect in the current wording concerns the iterators used to +compare two elements for equality: The current wording contains the +expression "(i - 1)", which is not covered by 25/9 [Note: See DR +submitted by Thomas Mang regarding invalid iterator arithmetic +expressions].

    -
    typedef  int  input_type;
    -
    -

    Proposed resolution:

    -We believe this is an unfortunate choice, and recommend instead: +25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 2:

    -
    typedef  unsigned int  input_type;
    -
    +

    Current wording says: +"Returns: The end of the resulting range."

    -

    [ -Berlin: Moved to NAD. N1932 makes this moot: the input_type template parameter has been -eliminated. -]

    +

    +The resulting range is not specified. In combination with 25.2.8 +[lib.alg.unique], paragraph 1, one reasonable interpretation (in the +author's opinion even the only possible interpretation) of this +so-called resulting range is the range [first, last) - thus returning +always the ForwardIterator 'last' parameter. +

    +

    2) Description of intended behavior:

    +

    +For the rest of this Defect Report, it is assumed that the intended +behavior was that all elements denoted by the original range [first, +last) which are the first element from a consecutive group of elements +for which the corresponding conditions: *(i-1) == *i (for the version of +unique without a predicate argument) or pred(*(i-1), *i) ! = false (for +the version of unique with a predicate argument) [Note: If such a group +of elements consists of only a single element, this is also considered +the first element] [Note: See resolutions of DR 202], call them +s-elements [Note: s...stay], will be placed into a contiguous subrange +of [first, last), denoted by the iterators [first, return value). The +number of elements in the resulting range [first, return value) shall be +equal to the number of s-elements in the original range [first, last). +Invalid iterator arithmetic expressions are expected to be resolved as +proposed in DR submitted by Thomas Mang regarding invalid iterator +arithmetic expressions. It is also assumed by the author that the +relative order of the elements in the resulting subrange [first, return +value) shall be the same as the relative order of the corresponding +elements (the s-elements) in the original range [Note: If this was not +intended behavior, the additional proposed paragraph about stable order +will certainly become obsolete]. +Furthermore, the resolutions of DR 202 are partially considered. +

    +

    +All implementations known to the author of this Defect Report comply +with this intent [Note: Except possible effects of DR 202]. Since this +intent of the behavior (contrary to the current wording) is also +described in various utility references serving the C++ community [1], +it is not expected that fixing the paragraphs will influence current +code [Note: Except possible effects of DR 202] - unless the code relies +on the behavior as it is described by current wording and the +implementation indeed reflects the current wording, and not the intent. +

    Discussion:

    -Unlike all other distributions in TR1, this binomial_distribution has an -implementation-defined input_type. We believe this is an unfortunate choice, -because it hinders users from writing portable code. It also hinders the -writing of compliance tests. We recommend instead: +Change 25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 1 to:

    -
    typedef  RealType  input_type;
    -
    +

    -While this choice is somewhat arbitrary (as it was for some of the other -distributions), we make this particular choice because (unlike all other -distributions) otherwise this template would not publish its RealType -argument and so users could not write generic code that accessed this -second template parameter. In this respect, the choice is consistent with -the other distributions in TR1. +"Effect: Places the first element from every consecutive group of +elements, referred to by the iterator i in the range [first, last), for +which the following conditions hold: *(i-1) == *i (for the version of +unique without a predicate argument) or pred(*(i -1), *i) != false (for +the version of unique with a predicate argument), into the subrange +[first, k) of the original range, where k shall denote a value of type +ForwardIterator."

    + +

    Comments to the new wording:

    +

    -We have two reasons for recommending that a real type be specified instead. -One reason is based specifically on characteristics of binomial distribution -implementations, while the other is based on mathematical characteristics of -probability distribution functions in general. +a) The new wording was influenced by the resolutions of DR 202. If DR +202 is resolved in another way, the proposed wording need also +additional review. +b) "Places" has no special meaning, and the everyday language meaning +should fit. +c) The expression "(i - 1)" was left, but is expected that DR submitted +by Thomas Mang regarding invalid iterator arithmetic expressions will +take this into account. +d) The wording "(for the version of unique without a predicate +argument)" and "(for the version of unique with a predicate argument)" +was added consciously for clarity and is in resemblence with current +23.2.2.4 [lib.list.ops], paragraph 19. It might be considered redundant. +e) The wording "of the original range" might be redundant, since any +subrange starting at first and containing no more elements than the +original range is implicitly a subrange of the original range [first, +last). +f) The iterator k was introduced instead of "return value" in order to +avoid a cyclic dependency on 25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 2. The +wording ", where k shall denote a value of type ForwardIterator" might +be redundant, because it follows implicitly by 25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], +paragraph 2. +g) "Places" does, in the author's opinion, explicitly forbid duplicating +any s-element in the original range [first, last) within the resulting +range [first, k). If there is doubt this term might be not unambiguous +regarding this, it is suggested that k is specified more closely by the +following wording: "k shall denote a value of type ForwardIterator +[Note: See f)] so that k - first is equal to the number of elements in +the original range [first, last) being the first element from every +consecutive group of elements for which the corresponding condition did +hold". This could also be expressed as a separate paragraph +"Postcondition:". +h) If it is considered that the wording is unclear whether it declares +the element of a group which consists of only a single element +implicitly to be the first element of this group [Note: Such an +interpretation could eventually arise especially in case last - first == +1] , the following additional sentence is proposed: "If such a group of +elements consists of only a single element, this element is also +considered the first element."

    +

    -Implementations of binomial distributions commonly use Stirling approximations -for values in certain ranges. It is far more natural to use real values to -represent these approximations than it would be to use integral values to do -so. In other ranges, implementations reply on the Bernoulli distribution to -obtain values. While TR1's bernoulli_distribution::input_type is specified as -int, we believe this would be better specified as double. +Change 25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 2 to: +"Returns: The iterator k."

    +

    -This brings us to our main point: The notion of a random distribution rests -on the notion of a cumulative distribution function, which in turn mathematically -depends on a continuous dependent variable. Indeed, such a distribution function -would be meaningless if it depended on discrete values such as integers - and this -remains true even if the distribution function were to take discrete steps. +Add a separate paragraph "Notes:" as 25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph +2a or 3a, or a separate paragraph "Postcondition:" before 25.2.8 +[lib.alg.unique], paragraph 2 (wording inside {} shall be eliminated if +the preceding expressions are used, or the preceding expressions shall +be eliminated if wording inside {} is used):

    +

    -Although this note is specifically about binomial_distribution::input_type, -we intend to recommend that all of the random distributions input_types be -specified as a real type (either a RealType template parameter, or double, -as appropriate). +"Notes:{Postcondition:} Stable: the relative order of the elements that +are placed into the subrange [first, return value {k}) shall be the same +as their relative order was in the original range [first, last) prior to +application of the algorithm."

    + +

    Comments to the new wording:

    +

    -Of the nine distributions in TR1, four already have this characteristic -(uniform_real, exponential_distribution, normal_distribution, and -gamma_distribution). We have already argued the case for the binomial the -remaining four distributions. +a) It is assumed by the author that the algorithm was intended to be +stable. +In case this was not the intent, this paragraph becomes certainly +obsolete. +b) The wording "was ... prior to application of the algorithm" is used +to explicitly distinguish the original range not only by means of +iterators, but also by a 'chronological' factor from the resulting range +[first, return value). It might be redundant.

    +

    -In the case of uniform_int, we believe that the calculations to produce an -integer result in a specified range from an integer in a different specified -range is best done using real arithmetic. This is because it involves a -product, one of whose terms is the ratio of the extents of the two ranges. -Without real arithmetic, the results become less uniform: some numbers become -more (or less) probable that they should be. This is, of course, undesireable -behavior in a uniform distribution. +25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 3:

    +

    See DR 239.

    +

    -Finally, we believe that in the case of the bernoulli_distribution (briefly -mentioned earlier), as well as the cases of the geometric_distribution and the -poisson_distribution, it would be far more natural to have a real input_type. -This is because the most natural computation involves the random number -delivered and the distribution's parameter p (in the case of bernoulli_distribution, -for example, the computation is a comparison against p), and p is already specified -in each case as having some real type. +4) References to other DRs:

    Discussion:

    -Paragraph 8 specifies the algorithm by which a subtract_with_carry_01 engine -is to be seeded given a single unsigned long. This algorithm is seriously -flawed in the case where the engine parameter w (also known as word_size) -exceeds 31 [bits]. The key part of the paragraph reads: +[1]: +The wording of these references is not always unambiguous, and provided +examples partially contradict verbal description of the algorithms, +because the verbal description resembles the problematic wording of +ISO/IEC 14882:2003.

    -

    -sets x(-r) ... x(-1) to (lcg(1)*2**(-w)) mod 1 -

    +

    -and so forth. +[2]: +Illustration of conforming implementations according to current wording:

    +

    -Since the specified linear congruential engine, lcg, delivers numbers with -a maximum of 2147483563 (just a shade under 31 bits), then when w is, for -example, 48, each of the x(i) will be less than 2**-17. The consequence -is that roughly the first 400 numbers delivered will be conspicuously -close to either zero or one. +One way the author of this DR considers how this "elimination" could be +achieved by a conforming implementation according to current wording is +by substituting each r-element by _any_ s-element [Note: s...stay; any +non-r-element], since all r-elements are "eliminated".

    +

    -Unfortunately, this is not an innocuous flaw: One of the predefined engines -in [tr.rand.predef], namely ranlux64_base_01, has w = 48 and would exhibit -this poor behavior, while the original N1378 proposal states that these -pre-defined engines are intended to be of "known good properties." +In case of a sequence consisting of elements being all 'equal' [Note: +See DR 202], substituting each r-element by the single s-element is the +only possible solution according to current wording.

    Proposed resolution:

    -

    -In 5.1.4.4 [tr.rand.eng.sub1], replace the "effects" clause for -void seed(unsigned long value = 19780503) by -

    -

    -Effects: If value == 0, sets value to 19780503. In any -case, with a linear congruential generator lcg(i) having parameters -mlcg = 2147483563, alcg = 40014, -clcg = 0, and lcg(0) = value, -sets carry(-1) and x(-r) … x(-1) -as if executing

    -linear_congruential<unsigned long, 40014, 0, 2147483563> lcg(value);
    -seed(lcg);
    -
    +

    Rationale:

    The LWG believes the standard is sufficiently clear. No +implementers get it wrong, and changing it wouldn't cause any code to +change, so there is no real-world harm here.

    -to (lcg(1) · 2-w) mod 1 -… (lcg(r) · 2-w) mod 1, -respectively. If x(-1) == 0, sets carry(-1) = 2-w, -else sets carry(-1) = 0.

    Discussion:

    +

    In Section 23.3.4.4 [list.ops], paragraphs 19 to 21 describe the +behavior of the std::list<T, Allocator>::unique operation. However, the +current wording is defective for various reasons.

    -

    Rationale:

    -Jens: I'm using an explicit type here, because fixing the -prose would probably not qualify for the (with issue 504 even -stricter) requirements we have for seed(Gen&). +1) Analysis of current wording:

    -

    [ -Portland: Subsumed by N2111. -]

    +

    23.3.4.4 [list.ops], paragraph 19:

    +

    +Current wording says: +"Effects: Eliminates all but the first element from every consecutive +group of equal elements referred to by the iterator i in the range +[first + 1, last) for which *i == *(i - 1) (for the version of unique +with no argument) or pred(*i, *(i -1)) (for the version of unique with a +predicate argument) holds."

    +

    +This sentences makes use of the undefined term "Eliminates". Although it +is, to a certain degree, reasonable to consider the term "eliminate" +synonymous with "erase", using "Erase" in the first place, as the +wording of 23.3.4.4 [list.ops], paragraph 15 does, would be clearer.

    +

    +The range of the elements referred to by iterator i is "[first + 1, +last)". However, neither "first" nor "last" is defined.

    +

    +The sentence makes three times use of iterator arithmetic expressions ( +"first + 1", "*i == *(i - 1)", "pred(*i, *(i -1))" ) which is not +defined for bidirectional iterator [see DR submitted by Thomas Mang +regarding invalid iterator arithmetic expressions].

    +

    +The same problems as pointed out in DR 202 (equivalence relation / order +of arguments for pred()) apply to this paragraph.

    +

    +Furthermore, the resolutions of DR 202 are considered regarding +equivalence relation and order of arguments for a call to pred.

    -To accompany the concept of a pseudo-random number engine as defined in Table 17, -we propose and recommend an adjunct template, engine_traits, to be declared in -[tr.rand.synopsis] as: +23.2.2.4 [lib.list.ops], paragraphs 19-21: "first + 1", "(i - 1)", +"(last - first)" +23.3.1.1 [lib.map.cons], paragraph 4: "last - first" +23.3.2.1 [lib.multimap.cons], paragraph 4: "last - first" +23.3.3.1 [lib.set.cons], paragraph 4: "last - first" +23.3.4.1 [lib.multiset.cons], paragraph 4: "last - first" +24.4.1 [lib.reverse.iterators], paragraph 1: "(i - 1)"

    -
    template< class PSRE >
    -class engine_traits;
    -
    +

    -This template's primary purpose would be as an aid to generic programming involving -pseudo-random number engines. Given only the facilities described in tr1, it would -be very difficult to produce any algorithms involving the notion of a generic engine. -The intent of this proposal is to provide, via engine_traits<>, sufficient -descriptive information to allow an algorithm to employ a pseudo-random number engine -without regard to its exact type, i.e., as a template parameter. -

    +[Important note: The list is not complete, just an illustration. The +same issue might well apply to other paragraphs not listed here.]

    + +

    None of these expressions is valid for the corresponding iterator +category.

    + +

    Current wording in clause 25:

    +

    -For example, today it is not possible to write an efficient generic function that -requires any specific number of random bits. More specifically, consider a -cryptographic application that internally needs 256 bits of randomness per call: +25.1.1 [lib.alg.foreach], paragraph 1: "last - 1" +25.1.3 [lib.alg.find.end], paragraph 2: "[first1, last1 - +(last2-first2))" +25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 1: "(i - 1)" +25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 5: "(i - 1)"

    -
    template< class Eng, class InIter, class OutIter >
    -void crypto( Eng& e, InIter in, OutIter out );
    -
    +

    -Without knowning the number of bits of randomness produced per call to a provided -engine, the algorithm has no means of determining how many times to call the engine. -

    +However, current wording of 25 [lib.algorithms], paragraph 9 covers +neither of these four cases:

    + +

    Current wording of 25 [lib.algorithms], paragraph 9:

    +

    -In a new section [tr.rand.eng.traits], we proposed to define the engine_traits -template as: -

    -
    template< class PSRE >
    -class engine_traits
    -{
    -  static  std::size_t  bits_of_randomness = 0u;
    -  static  std::string  name()  { return "unknown_engine"; }
    -  // TODO: other traits here
    -};
    -
    +"In the description of the algorithms operator + and - are used for some +of the iterator categories for which they do not have to be defined. In +these cases the semantics of a+n is the same as that of

    +
    {X tmp = a;
    +advance(tmp, n);
    +return tmp;
    +}
    +
    +

    and that of b-a is the same as of return distance(a, b)"

    +

    -Further, each engine described in [tr.rand.engine] would be accompanied by a -complete specialization of this new engine_traits template. +This paragrpah does not take the expression "iterator - n" into account, +where n denotes a value of a distance type between two iterators [Note: +According to current wording, the expression "iterator - n" would be +resolved as equivalent to "return distance(n, iterator)"]. Even if the +expression "iterator - n" were to be reinterpreted as equivalent to +"iterator + -n" [Note: This would imply that "a" and "b" were +interpreted implicitly as values of iterator types, and "n" as value of +a distance type], then 24.3.4/2 interfers because it says: "Requires: n +may be negative only for random access and bidirectional iterators.", +and none of the paragraphs quoted above requires the iterators on which +the algorithms operate to be of random access or bidirectional category.

    +

    2) Description of intended behavior:

    +

    +For the rest of this Defect Report, it is assumed that the expression +"iterator1 + n" and "iterator1 - iterator2" has the semantics as +described in current 25 [lib.algorithms], paragraph 9, but applying to +all clauses. The expression "iterator1 - n" is equivalent to an +result-iterator for which the expression "result-iterator + n" yields an +iterator denoting the same position as iterator1 does. The terms +"iterator1", "iterator2" and "result-iterator" shall denote the value of +an iterator type, and the term "n" shall denote a value of a distance +type between two iterators.

    -Paragraph 6 says: +a) The wording " In this paragraph, a and b denote values of an iterator +type, and n denotes a value of a distance type between two iterators." +was added so the expressions "b-a" and "a-n" are distinguished regarding +the types of the values on which they operate. +b) The wording ",the semantics of a-n denotes the value of an iterator i +for which the following condition holds: advance(i, n) == a" was added +to cover the expression 'iterator - n'.

    Discussion:

    -

    -Problem: There are a number of places in the C++ standard library where -it is possible to write what appear to be sensible ways of calling -functions, but which can cause problems in some (or all) -implementations, as they cause the values given to the function to be -changed in a way not specified in standard (and therefore not coded to -correctly work). These fall into two similar categories. -

    +

    According to [lib.associative.reqmts] table 69, the runtime comlexity +of insert(p, t) and erase(q) can be done in amortized constant time.

    + +

    It was my understanding that an associative container could be +implemented as a balanced binary tree.

    + +

    For inser(p, t), you 'll have to iterate to p's next node to see if t +can be placed next to p. Furthermore, the insertion usually takes +place at leaf nodes. An insert next to the root node will be done at +the left of the root next node

    + +

    So when p is the root node you 'll have to iterate from the root to +its next node, which takes O(log(size)) time in a balanced tree.

    + +

    If you insert all values with insert(root, t) (where root is the +root of the tree before insertion) then each insert takes O(log(size)) +time. The amortized complexity per insertion will be O(log(size)) +also.

    + +

    For erase(q), the normal algorithm for deleting a node that has no +empty left or right subtree, is to iterate to the next (or previous), +which is a leaf node. Then exchange the node with the next and delete +the leaf node. Furthermore according to DR 130, erase should return +the next node of the node erased. Thus erasing the root node, +requires iterating to the next node.

    + +

    Now if you empty a map by deleting the root node until the map is +empty, each operation will take O(log(size)), and the amortized +complexity is still O(log(size)).

    + +

    The operations can be done in amortized constant time if iterating +to the next node can be done in (non amortized) constant time. This +can be done by putting all nodes in a double linked list. This +requires two extra links per node. To me this is a bit overkill since +you can already efficiently insert or erase ranges with erase(first, +last) and insert(first, last).

    + + + +

    Proposed resolution:

    + + +

    Rationale:

    +

    Only "amortized constant" in special circumstances, and we believe + that's implementable. That is: doing this N times will be O(N), not + O(log N).

    +"For templates greater, less, greater_equal, and less_equal, +the specializations for any pointer type yield a total order, even if +the built-in operators <, >, <=, >= do not." +

    +

    -Solution: +The standard should do much better than guarantee that these provide a +total order, it should guarantee that it can be used to test if memory +overlaps, i.e. write a portable memmove. You can imagine a platform +where the built-in operators use a uint32_t comparison (this tests for +overlap on this platform) but the less<T*> functor is allowed to be +defined to use a int32_t comparison. On this platform, if you use +std::less with the intent of making a portable memmove, comparison on +an array that straddles the 0x7FFFFFFF/0x8000000 boundary can give +incorrect results.

    + +

    Proposed resolution:

    -One option would be to try to more carefully limit the requirements of -each function. There are many functions which would have to be checked. -However as has been shown in the std::copy case, this may be difficult. -A simpler, more global option would be to somewhere insert text similar to: +Add a footnote to 20.5.3/8 saying:

    +

    +Given a p1 and p2 such that p1 points to N objects of type T and p2 +points to M objects of type T. If [p1,p1+N) does not overlap [p2,p2+M), +less returns the same value when comparing all pointers in [p1,p1+N) to +all pointers in [p2,p2+M). Otherwise, there is a value Q and a value R +such that less returns the same value when comparing all pointers in +[p1,p1+Q) to all pointers in [p2,p2+R) and an opposite value when +comparing all pointers in [p1+Q,p1+N) to all pointers in [p2+R,p2+M). +For the sake of completeness, the null pointer value (4.10) for T is +considered to be an array of 1 object that doesn't overlap with any +non-null pointer to T. less_equal, greater, greater_equal, equal_to, +and not_equal_to give the expected results based on the total ordering +semantics of less. For T of void, treat it as having similar semantics +as T of char i.e. less<cv T*>(a, b) gives the same results as less<cv +void*>(a, b) which gives the same results as less<cv char*>((cv +char*)(cv void*)a, (cv char*)(cv void*)b). +

    +

    -If the execution of any function would change either any values passed -by reference or any value in any range passed to a function in a way not -defined in the definition of that function, the result is undefined. +I'm also thinking there should be a footnote to 20.5.3/1 saying that if +A and B are similar types (4.4/4), comp<A>(a,b) returns the same value +as comp<B>(a,b) (where comp is less, less_equal, etc.). But this might +be problematic if there is some really funky operator overloading going +on that does different things based on cv (that should be undefined +behavior if somebody does that though). This at least should be +guaranteed for all POD types (especially pointers) that use the +built-in comparison operators.

    + + +

    Rationale:

    -Such code would have to at least cover chapters 23 and 25 (the sections -I read through carefully). I can see no harm on applying it to much of -the rest of the standard. +less is already required to provide a strict weak ordering which is good enough +to detect overlapping memory situations.

    -Recommend NAD. +a) In 22.2.1.1 para. 2 we refer to "the instantiations required in Table +51" to refer to the facet *objects* associated with a locale. And we +almost certainly mean just those associated with the default or "C" +locale. Otherwise, you can't switch to a locale that enforces a different +mapping between narrow and wide characters, or that defines additional +uppercase characters.

    Discussion:

    -while implementing the resolution of issue 6.19 I'm noticing the -following: according to 6.3.4.3/2 (and 6.3.4.5/2), for unordered_set and -unordered_multiset: +e) 22.2.2 para. 2 (num_get/put) is both muddled and vacuous, as far as +I can tell. The muddle is, as before, calling Table 51 a list of +instantiations. But the constraint it applies seems to me to cover +*all* defined uses of num_get/put, so why bother to say so?

    -

    - "The iterator and const_iterator types are both const types. It is -unspecified whether they are the same type" -

    +

    +f) 22.2.3.1.2 para. 1(do_decimal_point) says "The required instantiations +return '.' or L'.'.) Presumably this means "as appropriate for the +character type. But given the vague definition of "required" earlier, +this overrules *any* change of decimal point for non "C" locales. +Surely we don't want to do that. +

    -Now, according to the resolution of 6.19, we have overloads of insert -with hint and erase (single and range) both for iterator and -const_iterator, which, AFAICS, can be meaningful at the same time *only* -if iterator and const_iterator *are* in fact different types. +g) 22.2.3.1.2 para. 2 (do_thousands_sep) says "The required instantiations +return ',' or L','.) As above, this probably means "as appropriate for the +character type. But this overrules the "C" locale, which requires *no* +character ('\0') for the thousands separator. Even if we agree that we +don't mean to block changes in decimal point or thousands separator, +we should also eliminate this clear incompatibility with C.

    +

    -Then, iterator and const_iterator are *required* to be different types? -Or that is an unintended consequence? Maybe the overloads for plain -iterators should be added only to unordered_map and unordered_multimap? -Or, of course, I'm missing something? +h) 22.2.3.1.2 para. 2 (do_grouping) says "The required instantiations +return the empty string, indicating no grouping." Same considerations +as for do_decimal_point.

    +

    +i) 22.2.4.1 para. 1 (collate) refers to "instantiations required in Table +51". Same bad jargon. +

    +

    +j) 22.2.4.1.2 para. 1 (do_compare) refers to "instantiations required +in Table 51". Same bad jargon. +

    -

    Proposed resolution:

    -Add to 6.3.4.3p2 (and 6.3.4.5p2): +k) 22.2.5 para. 1 (time_get/put) uses the same muddled and vacuous +as num_get/put.

    +

    -2 ... The iterator and const_iterator types are both const -constant iterator types. -It is unspecified whether they are the same type. +l) 22.2.6 para. 2 (money_get/put) uses the same muddled and vacuous +as num_get/put.

    -Add a new subsection to 17.4.4 [lib.conforming]: +m) 22.2.6.3.2 (do_pos/neg_format) says "The instantiations required +in Table 51 ... return an object of type pattern initialized to +{symbol, sign, none, value}." This once again *overrides* the "C" +locale, as well as any other locale."

    -

    -An implementation shall not supply an overloaded function - signature specified in any library clause if such a signature - would be inherently ambiguous during overload resolution - due to two library types referring to the same type. +3) We constrain the use_facet calls that can be made by num_get/put, +so why don't we do the same for money_get/put? Or for any of the +other facets, for that matter?

    +

    - [Note: For example, this occurs when a container's iterator - and const_iterator types are the same. -- end note] +4) As an almost aside, we spell out when a facet needs to use the ctype +facet, but several also need to use a codecvt facet and we don't say so.

    -This implies that a precondition violation can lead to defined -behavior. That conflicts with the only reasonable definition of -precondition: that a violation leads to undefined behavior. Any other -definition muddies the waters when it comes to analyzing program -correctness, because precondition violations may be routinely done in -correct code (e.g. you can use std::vector::at with the full -expectation that you'll get an exception when your index is out of -range, catch the exception, and continue).

    Discussion:

    -According to C.2.2.3, p1, "the macro NULL, defined in any of <clocale>, -<cstddef>, <cstdio>, <cstdlib>, <cstring>, <ctime>, -or <cwchar>." This is consistent with the C standard. +Unlike all other distributions in TR1, this binomial_distribution has an +implementation-defined input_type. We believe this is an unfortunate choice, +because it hinders users from writing portable code. It also hinders the +writing of compliance tests. We recommend instead:

    +
    typedef  RealType  input_type;
    +

    -However, Table 95 in C.2 fails to mention <clocale> and <cstdlib>. +While this choice is somewhat arbitrary (as it was for some of the other +distributions), we make this particular choice because (unlike all other +distributions) otherwise this template would not publish its RealType +argument and so users could not write generic code that accessed this +second template parameter. In this respect, the choice is consistent with +the other distributions in TR1.

    -In addition, C.2, p2 claims that "The C++ Standard library provides -54 standard macros from the C library, as shown in Table 95." While -table 95 does have 54 entries, since a couple of them (including the -NULL macro) are listed more than once, the actual number of macros -defined by the C++ Standard Library may not be 54. +We have two reasons for recommending that a real type be specified instead. +One reason is based specifically on characteristics of binomial distribution +implementations, while the other is based on mathematical characteristics of +probability distribution functions in general. +

    +

    +Implementations of binomial distributions commonly use Stirling approximations +for values in certain ranges. It is far more natural to use real values to +represent these approximations than it would be to use integral values to do +so. In other ranges, implementations reply on the Bernoulli distribution to +obtain values. While TR1's bernoulli_distribution::input_type is specified as +int, we believe this would be better specified as double. +

    +

    +This brings us to our main point: The notion of a random distribution rests +on the notion of a cumulative distribution function, which in turn mathematically +depends on a continuous dependent variable. Indeed, such a distribution function +would be meaningless if it depended on discrete values such as integers - and this +remains true even if the distribution function were to take discrete steps. +

    +

    +Although this note is specifically about binomial_distribution::input_type, +we intend to recommend that all of the random distributions input_types be +specified as a real type (either a RealType template parameter, or double, +as appropriate). +

    +

    +Of the nine distributions in TR1, four already have this characteristic +(uniform_real, exponential_distribution, normal_distribution, and +gamma_distribution). We have already argued the case for the binomial the +remaining four distributions. +

    +

    +In the case of uniform_int, we believe that the calculations to produce an +integer result in a specified range from an integer in a different specified +range is best done using real arithmetic. This is because it involves a +product, one of whose terms is the ratio of the extents of the two ranges. +Without real arithmetic, the results become less uniform: some numbers become +more (or less) probable that they should be. This is, of course, undesireable +behavior in a uniform distribution. +

    +

    +Finally, we believe that in the case of the bernoulli_distribution (briefly +mentioned earlier), as well as the cases of the geometric_distribution and the +poisson_distribution, it would be far more natural to have a real input_type. +This is because the most natural computation involves the random number +delivered and the distribution's parameter p (in the case of bernoulli_distribution, +for example, the computation is a comparison against p), and p is already specified +in each case as having some real type.

    Discussion:

    -Paragraph 10 describes how a variate generator uses numbers produced by an -engine to pass to a generator. The sentence that concerns me is: "Otherwise, if -the value for engine_value_type::result_type is true and the value for -Distribution::input_type is false [i.e. if the engine produces integers and the -engine wants floating-point values], then the numbers in s_eng are divided by -engine().max() - engine().min() + 1 to obtain the numbers in s_e." Since the -engine is producing integers, both the numerator and the denominator are -integers and we'll be doing integer division, which I don't think is what we -want. Shouldn't we be performing a conversion to a floating-point type first? +Paragraph 8 specifies the algorithm by which a subtract_with_carry_01 engine +is to be seeded given a single unsigned long. This algorithm is seriously +flawed in the case where the engine parameter w (also known as word_size) +exceeds 31 [bits]. The key part of the paragraph reads: +

    +

    +sets x(-r) ... x(-1) to (lcg(1)*2**(-w)) mod 1 +

    +

    +and so forth. +

    +

    +Since the specified linear congruential engine, lcg, delivers numbers with +a maximum of 2147483563 (just a shade under 31 bits), then when w is, for +example, 48, each of the x(i) will be less than 2**-17. The consequence +is that roughly the first 400 numbers delivered will be conspicuously +close to either zero or one. +

    +

    +Unfortunately, this is not an innocuous flaw: One of the predefined engines +in [tr.rand.predef], namely ranlux64_base_01, has w = 48 and would exhibit +this poor behavior, while the original N1378 proposal states that these +pre-defined engines are intended to be of "known good properties."

    -Class random_device "produces non-deterministic random numbers", using some -external source of entropy. In most real-world systems, the amount of available -entropy is limited. Suppose that entropy has been exhausted. What is an -implementation permitted to do? In particular, is it permitted to block -indefinitely until more random bits are available, or is the implementation -required to detect failure immediately? This is not an academic question. On -Linux a straightforward implementation would read from /dev/random, and "When -the entropy pool is empty, reads to /dev/random will block until additional -environmental noise is gathered." Programmers need to know whether random_device -is permitted to (or possibly even required to?) behave the same way. -

    Discussion:

    -I believe we have a bug in the resolution of: -lwg 184 -(WP status). +To accompany the concept of a pseudo-random number engine as defined in Table 17, +we propose and recommend an adjunct template, engine_traits, to be declared in +[tr.rand.synopsis] as:

    - +
    template< class PSRE >
    +class engine_traits;
    +

    -The resolution spells out each member of numeric_limits<bool>. -The part I'm having a little trouble with is: +This template's primary purpose would be as an aid to generic programming involving +pseudo-random number engines. Given only the facilities described in tr1, it would +be very difficult to produce any algorithms involving the notion of a generic engine. +The intent of this proposal is to provide, via engine_traits<>, sufficient +descriptive information to allow an algorithm to employ a pseudo-random number engine +without regard to its exact type, i.e., as a template parameter.

    -
    static const bool traps = false;
    +

    +For example, today it is not possible to write an efficient generic function that +requires any specific number of random bits. More specifically, consider a +cryptographic application that internally needs 256 bits of randomness per call: +

    +
    template< class Eng, class InIter, class OutIter >
    +void crypto( Eng& e, InIter in, OutIter out );
     
    -

    -Should this not be implementation defined? Given: +Without knowning the number of bits of randomness produced per call to a provided +engine, the algorithm has no means of determining how many times to call the engine.

    - -

    +

    +In a new section [tr.rand.eng.traits], we proposed to define the engine_traits +template as: +

    +class engine_traits
     {

    -     bool b2 = false;

    +  static  std::string  name()  { return "unknown_engine"; }
    +  // TODO: other traits here
    +};
     
    -

    -If this causes a trap, shouldn't numeric_limits<bool>::traps be -true? +Further, each engine described in [tr.rand.engine] would be accompanied by a +complete specialization of this new engine_traits template.

    Discussion:

    -In 25, p8 we allow BinaryPredicates to return a type that's convertible -to bool but need not actually be bool. That allows predicates to return -things like proxies and requires that implementations be careful about -what kinds of expressions they use the result of the predicate in (e.g., -the expression in if (!pred(a, b)) need not be well-formed since the -negation operator may be inaccessible or return a type that's not -convertible to bool). +The last two rows of Table 16 deal with the i/o requirements of an engine, +specifying that the textual representation of an engine's state, +appropriately formatted, constitute the engine's external representation.

    -Here's the text for reference: +This seems adequate when an engine's type is known. However, it seems +inadequate in the context of generic code, where it becomes useful and +perhaps even necessary to determine an engine's type via input.

    Discussion:

    -I'm seeing a problem with such overloads: when, _Longlong == intmax_t == -long long we end up, essentially, with the same arguments and different -return types (lldiv_t and imaxdiv_t, respectively). Similar issue with -abs(_Longlong) and abs(intmax_t), of course. +A problem with TR1 regex is currently being discussed on the Boost +developers list. It involves the handling of case-insensitive matching +of character ranges such as [Z-a]. The proper behavior (according to the +ECMAScript standard) is unimplementable given the current specification +of the TR1 regex_traits<> class template. John Maddock, the author of +the TR1 regex proposal, agrees there is a problem. The full discussion +can be found at http://lists.boost.org/boost/2005/06/28850.php (first +message copied below). We don't have any recommendations as yet.

    -Comparing sections 8.25 and 8.11, I see an important difference, -however: 8.25.3 and 8.25.4 carefully describe div and abs for _Longlong -types (rightfully, because not moved over directly from C99), whereas -there is no equivalent in 8.11: the abs and div overloads for intmax_t -types appear only in the synopsis and are not described anywhere, in -particular no mention in 8.11.2 (at variance with 8.25.2). +-- Begin original message --

    -I'm wondering whether we really, really, want div and abs for intmax_t... +The situation of interest is described in the ECMAScript specification +(ECMA-262), section 15.10.2.15: +

    +

    +"Even if the pattern ignores case, the case of the two ends of a range +is significant in determining which characters belong to the range. +Thus, for example, the pattern /[E-F]/i matches only the letters E, F, +e, and f, while the pattern /[E-f]/i matches all upper and lower-case +ASCII letters as well as the symbols [, \, ], ^, _, and `." +

    +

    +A more interesting case is what should happen when doing a +case-insentitive match on a range such as [Z-a]. It should match z, Z, +a, A and the symbols [, \, ], ^, _, and `. This is not what happens with +Boost.Regex (it throws an exception from the regex constructor). +

    +

    +The tough pill to swallow is that, given the specification in TR1, I +don't think there is any effective way to handle this situation. +According to the spec, case-insensitivity is handled with +regex_traits<>::translate_nocase(CharT) -- two characters are equivalent +if they compare equal after both are sent through the translate_nocase +function. But I don't see any way of using this translation function to +make character ranges case-insensitive. Consider the difficulty of +detecting whether "z" is in the range [Z-a]. Applying the transformation +to "z" has no effect (it is essentially std::tolower). And we're not +allowed to apply the transformation to the ends of the range, because as +ECMA-262 says, "the case of the two ends of a range is significant." +

    +

    +So AFAICT, TR1 regex is just broken, as is Boost.Regex. One possible fix +is to redefine translate_nocase to return a string_type containing all +the characters that should compare equal to the specified character. But +this function is hard to implement for Unicode, and it doesn't play nice +with the existing ctype facet. What a mess! +

    -

    -The header defines all functions, types, and macros the same as C99 -subclause 7.8. -

    +

    +One small correction, I have since found that ICU's regex package does +implement this correctly, using a similar mechanism to the current +TR1.Regex. +

    +

    +Given an expression [c1-c2] that is compiled as case insensitive it: +

    +

    +Enumerates every character in the range c1 to c2 and converts it to it's +case folded equivalent. That case folded character is then used a key to a +table of equivalence classes, and each member of the class is added to the +list of possible matches supported by the character-class. This second step +isn't possible with our current traits class design, but isn't necessary if +the input text is also converted to a case-folded equivalent on the fly. +

    +

    +ICU applies similar brute force mechanisms to character classes such as +[[:lower:]] and [[:word:]], however these are at least cached, so the impact +is less noticeable in this case. +

    +

    +Quick and dirty performance comparisons show that expressions such as +"[X-\\x{fff0}]+" are indeed very slow to compile with ICU (about 200 times +slower than a "normal" expression). For an application that uses a lot of +regexes this could have a noticeable performance impact. ICU also has an +advantage in that it knows the range of valid characters codes: code points +outside that range are assumed not to require enumeration, as they can not +be part of any equivalence class. I presume that if we want the TR1.Regex +to work with arbitrarily large character sets enumeration really does become +impractical. +

    +

    +Finally note that Unicode has: +

    +

    +Three cases (upper, lower and title). +One to many, and many to one case transformations. +Character that have context sensitive case translations - for example an +uppercase sigma has two different lowercase forms - the form chosen depends +on context(is it end of a word or not), a caseless match for an upper case +sigma should match either of the lower case forms, which is why case folding +is often approximated by tolower(toupper(c)). +

    +

    +Probably we need some way to enumerate character equivalence classes, +including digraphs (either as a result or an input), and some way to tell +whether the next character pair is a valid digraph in the current locale. +

    +

    +Hoping this doesn't make this even more complex that it was already, +

    [ -This is as much definition as we give for most other C99 functions, -so nothing need change. We might, however, choose to add the footnote: +Portland: Alisdair: Detect as invalid, throw an exception. +Pete: Possible general problem with case insensitive ranges. ]

    Discussion:

    -

    1. The essence of the problem.

    -User-defined allocators without default constructor are not explicitly -supported by the standard but they can be supported just like std::vector -supports elements without default constructor. +Problem: There are a number of places in the C++ standard library where +it is possible to write what appear to be sensible ways of calling +functions, but which can cause problems in some (or all) +implementations, as they cause the values given to the function to be +changed in a way not specified in standard (and therefore not coded to +correctly work). These fall into two similar categories.

    +

    -As a result, there exist implementations that work well with such allocators -and implementations that don't. +1) Parameters taken by const reference can be changed during execution +of the function

    -

    2. The cause of the problem.

    -1) The standard doesn't explicitly state this intent but it should. In -particular, 20.1.5p5 explicitly state the intent w.r.t. the allocator -instances that compare non-equal. So it can similarly state the intent w.r.t. -the user-defined allocators without default constructor. +Examples:

    +

    -2) Some container operations are obviously underspecified. In particular, -21.3.7.1p2 tells: +Given std::vector<int> v:

    -
    template<class charT, class traits, class Allocator>
    -  basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator> operator+(
    -    const charT* lhs,
    -    const basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator>& rhs
    -  );
    -

    -Returns: basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator>(lhs) + rhs. +v.insert(v.begin(), v[2]);

    -

    -That leads to the basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator>(lhs, Allocator()) call. -Obviously, the right requirement is: +v[2] can be changed by moving elements of vector

    -

    -Returns: basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator>(lhs, rhs.get_allocator()) + rhs. -

    + +

    -It seems like a lot of DRs can be submitted on this "Absent call to -get_allocator()" topic. +Given std::list<int> l:

    - -

    3. Proposed actions.

    -1) Explicitly state the intent to allow for user-defined allocators without -default constructor in 20.1.5 Allocator requirements. +l.remove(*l.begin());

    -2) Correct all the places, where a correct allocator object is available -through the get_allocator() call but default Allocator() gets passed instead. +Will delete the first element, and then continue trying to access it. +This is particularily vicious, as it will appear to work in almost all +cases.

    -

    4. Code sample.

    +

    -Let's suppose that the following memory pool is available: +2) A range is given which changes during the execution of the function: +Similarly,

    -
    class mem_pool {
    -      // ...
    -      void* allocate(size_t size);
    -      void deallocate(void* ptr, size_t size);
    -};
    -
    +

    -So the following allocator can be implemented via this pool: +v.insert(v.begin(), v.begin()+4, v.begin()+6);

    -
    class stl_allocator {
    -      mem_pool& pool;
     
    - public:
    -      explicit stl_allocator(mem_pool& mp) : pool(mp) {}
    -      stl_allocator(const stl_allocator& sa) : pool(sa.pool) {}
    -      template <class U>
    -      stl_allocator(const stl_allocator<U>& sa)  : pool(sa.get_pool()) {}
    -      ~stl_allocator() {}
    +

    +This kind of problem has been partly covered in some cases. For example +std::copy(first, last, result) states that result cannot be in the range +[first, last). However, does this cover the case where result is a +reverse_iterator built from some iterator in the range [first, last)? +Also, std::copy would still break if result was reverse_iterator(last + +1), yet this is not forbidden by the standard +

    - pointer allocate(size_type n, std::allocator<void>::const_pointer = 0) - { - return (n!=0) ? static_cast<pointer>(pool.allocate(n*sizeof(T))) : 0; - } +

    +Solution: +

    - void deallocate(pointer p, size_type n) - { - if (n!=0) pool.deallocate(p, n*sizeof(T)); - } +

    +One option would be to try to more carefully limit the requirements of +each function. There are many functions which would have to be checked. +However as has been shown in the std::copy case, this may be difficult. +A simpler, more global option would be to somewhere insert text similar to: +

    - // ... -}; -

    -Then the following code works well on some implementations and doesn't work on -another: -

    -
    typedef basic_string<char, char_traits<char>, stl_allocator<char> > 
    -  tl_string;
    -mem_pool mp;
    -tl_string s1("abc", stl_allocator<int>(mp));
    -printf("(%s)\n", ("def"+s1).c_str());
    -
    -

    -In particular, on some implementations the code can't be compiled without -default stl_allocator() constructor. -

    -

    -The obvious way to solve the compile-time problems is to intentionally define -a NULL pointer dereferencing default constructor -

    -
    stl_allocator() : pool(*static_cast<mem_pool*>(0)) {}
    -
    -

    -in a hope that it will not be called. The problem is that it really gets -called by operator+(const char*, const string&) under the current 21.3.7.1p2 -wording. +If the execution of any function would change either any values passed +by reference or any value in any range passed to a function in a way not +defined in the definition of that function, the result is undefined.

    - -

    Proposed resolution:

    +Such code would have to at least cover chapters 23 and 25 (the sections +I read through carefully). I can see no harm on applying it to much of +the rest of the standard.

    - -

    Rationale:

    -Recommend NAD. operator+() with string already requires the desired -semantics of copying the allocator from one of the strings (lhs when there is a choice). +Some existing parts of the standard could be improved to fit with this, +for example the requires for 25.2.1 (Copy) could be adjusted to:

    Discussion:

    -Currently, the Standard Library specifies only a declaration for template class -char_traits<> and requires the implementation provide two explicit -specializations: char_traits<char> and char_traits<wchar_t>. I feel the Standard -should require explicit specializations for all built-in character types, i.e. -char, wchar_t, unsigned char, and signed char. +while implementing the resolution of issue 6.19 I'm noticing the +following: according to 6.3.4.3/2 (and 6.3.4.5/2), for unordered_set and +unordered_multiset:

    + +

    + "The iterator and const_iterator types are both const types. It is +unspecified whether they are the same type" +

    +

    -I have put together a paper -(N1985) -that describes this in more detail and -includes all the necessary wording. +Now, according to the resolution of 6.19, we have overloads of insert +with hint and erase (single and range) both for iterator and +const_iterator, which, AFAICS, can be meaningful at the same time *only* +if iterator and const_iterator *are* in fact different types. +

    +

    +Then, iterator and const_iterator are *required* to be different types? +Or that is an unintended consequence? Maybe the overloads for plain +iterators should be added only to unordered_map and unordered_multimap? +Or, of course, I'm missing something?

    Discussion:

    -There is no pow() function for any integral type. +The TR sneaks in two new integer types, _Longlong and _Ulonglong, in [tr.c99]. +The rest of the TR should use that type. I believe this affects two places. +First, the random number requirements, 5.1.1/10-11, lists all of the types with +which template parameters named IntType and UIntType may be instantiated. +_Longlong (or "long long", assuming it is added to C++0x) should be added to the +IntType list, and UIntType (again, or "unsigned long long") should be added to +the UIntType list. Second, 6.3.2 lists the types for which hash<> is +required to be instantiable. _Longlong and _Ulonglong should be added to that +list, so that people may use long long as a hash key.

    - -The iststream(char*, streamsize) ctor is in the class -synopsis in D.7.2 but its signature is missing in the description -below (in D.7.2.1). - -

    +Paragraph 10 describes how a variate generator uses numbers produced by an +engine to pass to a generator. The sentence that concerns me is: "Otherwise, if +the value for engine_value_type::result_type is true and the value for +Distribution::input_type is false [i.e. if the engine produces integers and the +engine wants floating-point values], then the numbers in s_eng are divided by +engine().max() - engine().min() + 1 to obtain the numbers in s_e."

    Discussion:

    -20.4.9 [lib.meta.req], Implementation requirements, provides latitude for type -traits implementers that is not needed in C++0x. It includes the wording: +Class random_device "produces non-deterministic random numbers", using some +external source of entropy. In most real-world systems, the amount of available +entropy is limited. Suppose that entropy has been exhausted. What is an +implementation permitted to do? In particular, is it permitted to block +indefinitely until more random bits are available, or is the implementation +required to detect failure immediately? This is not an academic question. On +Linux a straightforward implementation would read from /dev/random, and "When +the entropy pool is empty, reads to /dev/random will block until additional +environmental noise is gathered." Programmers need to know whether random_device +is permitted to (or possibly even required to?) behave the same way.

    Discussion:

    -It seems undesirable to define the Swappable requirement in terms of -CopyConstructible and Assignable requirements. And likewise, once the -MoveConstructible and MoveAssignable requirements (N1860) have made it -into the Working Draft, it seems undesirable to define the Swappable -requirement in terms of those requirements. Instead, it appears -preferable to have the Swappable requirement defined exclusively in -terms of the existence of an appropriate swap function. -

    -

    -Section 20.1.4 [lib.swappable] of the current Working Draft (N2009) -says: -

    -

    -The Swappable requirement is met by satisfying one or more of the -following conditions:

    -
      -
    • -T is Swappable if T satisfies the CopyConstructible requirements -(20.1.3) and the Assignable requirements (23.1); -
    • -
    • -T is Swappable if a namespace scope function named swap exists in the -same namespace as the definition of T, such that the expression -swap(t,u) is valid and has the semantics described in Table 33. -
    • -
    -
    -I can think of three disadvantages of this definition: -
      -
    1. -If a client's type T satisfies the first condition (T is both -CopyConstructible and Assignable), the client cannot stop T from -satisfying the Swappable requirement without stopping T from -satisfying the first condition. -

      -A client might want to stop T from satisfying the Swappable -requirement, because swapping by means of copy construction and -assignment might throw an exception, and she might find a throwing -swap unacceptable for her type. On the other hand, she might not feel -the need to fully implement her own swap function for this type. In -this case she would want to be able to simply prevent algorithms that -would swap objects of type T from being used, e.g., by declaring a -swap function for T, and leaving this function purposely undefined. -This would trigger a link error, if an attempt would be made to use -such an algorithm for this type. For most standard library -implementations, this practice would indeed have the effect of -stopping T from satisfying the Swappable requirement. -

      -
    2. -
    3. -A client's type T that does not satisfy the first condition can not be -made Swappable by providing a specialization of std::swap for T. -

      -While I'm aware about the fact that people have mixed feelings about -providing a specialization of std::swap, it is well-defined to do so. -It sounds rather counter-intuitive to say that T is not Swappable, if -it has a valid and semantically correct specialization of std::swap. -Also in practice, providing such a specialization will have the same -effect as satisfying the Swappable requirement. -

      -
    4. -
    5. -For a client's type T that satisfies both conditions of the Swappable -requirement, it is not specified which of the two conditions prevails. -After reading section 20.1.4 [lib.swappable], one might wonder whether -objects of T will be swapped by doing copy construction and -assignments, or by calling the swap function of T. -

      -I'm aware that the intention of the Draft is to prefer calling the -swap function of T over doing copy construction and assignments. Still -in my opinion, it would be better to make this clear in the wording of -the definition of Swappable. +I believe we have a bug in the resolution of: +lwg 184 +(WP status).

      -
    6. -
    +

    -I would like to have the Swappable requirement defined in such a way -that the following code fragment will correctly swap two objects of a -type T, if and only if T is Swappable: +The resolution spells out each member of numeric_limits<bool>. +The part I'm having a little trouble with is:

    -
       using std::swap;
    -   swap(t, u);  // t and u are of type T.
    -
    +
    static const bool traps = false;
    +
    +

    -This is also the way Scott Meyers recommends calling a swap function, -in Effective C++, Third Edition, item 25. +Should this not be implementation defined? Given:

    + +
    int main()
    +{
    +     bool b1 = true;
    +     bool b2 = false;
    +     bool b3 = b1/b2;
    +}
    +
    +

    -Most aspects of this issue have been dealt with in a discussion on -comp.std.c++ about the Swappable requirement, from 13 September to 4 -October 2006, including valuable input by David Abrahams, Pete Becker, -Greg Herlihy, Howard Hinnant and others. +If this causes a trap, shouldn't numeric_limits<bool>::traps be +true?

    +

    Proposed resolution:

    -Change section 20.1.4 [lib.swappable] as follows: +Change 18.2.1.5p3:

    -

    -The Swappable requirement is met by satisfying -one or more of the following conditions: -the following condition:

    • -
    • - -T is Swappable if a namespace scope function named swap exists in the -same namespace as the definition of T, such that the expression -swap(t,u) is valid and has the semantics described in Table 33. - -T is Swappable if an unqualified function call swap(t,u) is valid -within the namespace std, and has the semantics described in Table 33. -

    -The general requirements for BinaryPredicate (in 25 [algorithms]/8) contradict the implied specific requirements for -some functions. In particular, it says that: -

    -[...] if an algorithm takes BinaryPredicate binary_pred -as its argument and first1 and first2 as its -iterator arguments, it should work correctly in the construct if -(binary_pred (*first1 , *first2 )){...}. -BinaryPredicate always takes the first iterator type as its -first argument, that is, in those cases when T value is -part of the signature, it should work correctly in the context of if -(binary_pred (*first1 , value)){...}. +The header defines all functions, types, and macros the same as C99 +subclause 7.8.

    -The description in paragraph 1 still says that the operator returns by -value. +As a result, there exist implementations that work well with such allocators +and implementations that don't.

    -There already exist two active DR's for the wording of 27.7.1.2.3 [istream::extractors]/13 -from 14882:2003(E), namely 64 and 413. +That leads to the basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator>(lhs, Allocator()) call. +Obviously, the right requirement is:

    +

    +1) Explicitly state the intent to allow for user-defined allocators without +default constructor in 20.1.5 Allocator requirements.

    -[..] +2) Correct all the places, where a correct allocator object is available +through the get_allocator() call but default Allocator() gets passed instead.

    +

    4. Code sample.

    -- an exception occurs (in which case the exception is caught)." -

    - +Let's suppose that the following memory pool is available: +

    +
    class mem_pool {
    +      // ...
    +      void* allocate(size_t size);
    +      void deallocate(void* ptr, size_t size);
    +};
    +

    -and 15 +So the following allocator can be implemented via this pool:

    +
    class stl_allocator {
    +      mem_pool& pool;
     
    -

    -"If the function inserts no characters, it calls setstate(failbit), -which -may throw ios_base::failure (27.4.4.3). If it inserted no characters -because it caught an exception thrown while extracting characters -from *this and failbit is on in exceptions() (27.4.4.3), then the -caught -exception is rethrown." -

    + public: + explicit stl_allocator(mem_pool& mp) : pool(mp) {} + stl_allocator(const stl_allocator& sa) : pool(sa.pool) {} + template <class U> + stl_allocator(const stl_allocator<U>& sa) : pool(sa.get_pool()) {} + ~stl_allocator() {} + + pointer allocate(size_type n, std::allocator<void>::const_pointer = 0) + { + return (n!=0) ? static_cast<pointer>(pool.allocate(n*sizeof(T))) : 0; + } + + void deallocate(pointer p, size_type n) + { + if (n!=0) pool.deallocate(p, n*sizeof(T)); + } + // ... +}; +

    -both in N2134 seems to imply that any exception, which occurs -*after* at least one character has been inserted is caught and lost -for -ever. It seems that even if failbit is on in exceptions() rethrow is -not -allowed due to the wording "If it inserted no characters because it -caught an exception thrown while extracting". +Then the following code works well on some implementations and doesn't work on +another:

    - +
    typedef basic_string<char, char_traits<char>, stl_allocator<char> > 
    +  tl_string;
    +mem_pool mp;
    +tl_string s1("abc", stl_allocator<int>(mp));
    +printf("(%s)\n", ("def"+s1).c_str());
    +

    -Is this behaviour by design? +In particular, on some implementations the code can't be compiled without +default stl_allocator() constructor.

    -

    -I would like to add that its output counterpart in 27.7.2.6.3 [ostream.inserters]/7-9 -(also -N2134) does not demonstrate such an exception-loss-behaviour. -On the other side, I wonder concerning several subtle differences -compared to input:: +The obvious way to solve the compile-time problems is to intentionally define +a NULL pointer dereferencing default constructor

    +
    stl_allocator() : pool(*static_cast<mem_pool*>(0)) {}
    +

    -1) Paragraph 8 says at its end: +in a hope that it will not be called. The problem is that it really gets +called by operator+(const char*, const string&) under the current 21.3.7.1p2 +wording.

    -

    -"- an exception occurs while getting a character from sb." -

    +

    Proposed resolution:

    -Note that there is nothing mentioned which would imply that such -an exception will be caught compared to 27.7.1.2.3 [istream::extractors]/14.

    Rationale:

    -2) Paragraph 9 says: +Recommend NAD. operator+() with string already requires the desired +semantics of copying the allocator from one of the strings (lhs when there is a choice).

    -"If the function inserts no characters, it calls setstate(failbit) -(which -may throw ios_base::failure (27.4.4.3)). If an exception was thrown -while extracting a character, the function sets failbit in error -state, -and if failbit is on in exceptions() the caught exception is -rethrown." -

    Discussion:

    -In 28.13.2.1 [re.tokiter.cnstr]/1+2 both the constructor declaration -and the following text shows some obvious typos: +We don't deal with volatile in the library.

    -1) The third constructor form is written as +Jim: should we state that explicitly somewhere?

    -

    -where the dimensions of submatches are specified by an -unknown value R, which should be N. +Beman: you might argue that clause 17 should say something about +volatile. However, if you want to raise we argument, we should open it +as a separate issue and consult with experts on concurrency.

    -2) Paragraph 2 of the same section says in its last sentence: +Hinnant: actually, some library components do handle volatile, so we'd +need to be very careful about what we say in clause 17.

    - -

    -The third constructor initializes the member subs to hold a -copy of the sequence of integer values pointed to by the iterator range -[&submatches, &submatches + R). -

    -

    -Each constructor then sets N to 0, and -position to position_iterator(a, b, re, f). -

    -where a non-existing parameter "f" is mentioned, which must be -replaced -by the parameter "m". -

    +

    Proposed resolution:

    +In order to allow these algorithms to operate on volatile storage I +propose to change the expression so as to make it well-formed even for +pointers to volatile types. Specifically, I propose the following +changes to clauses 20 and 24. Change 20.6.4.1, p1 to read: -

    -

    -Each constructor then sets N to 0, and -position to position_iterator(a, b, re, f -m). If position is not an end-of-sequence -iterator the constructor sets result to the address of the -current match. Otherwise if any of the values stored in subs is -equal to -1 the constructor sets *this to a suffix -iterator that points to the range [a, b), otherwise the -constructor sets *this to an end-of-sequence iterator. -

    +change 20.6.4.2, p1 to read + +

    +
    +Effects:
    +

    +        value_type (*x);
    +
    +            
    +

    + +In addition, since there is no partial specialization for +iterator_traits<volatile T*> I propose to add one +to parallel such specialization for <const T*>. Specifically, I +propose to add the following text to the end of 24.3.1, p3: + +

    +

    + +and for pointers to volatile as + +

    +
    +namespace std {

    +typedef random_access_iterator_tag iterator_category;
    +};
    +}
     
    +            
    +

    +Note that the change to iterator_traits isn't necessary +in order to implement the specialized algorithms in a way that allows +them to operate on volatile strorage. It is only necesassary in order +to specify their effects in terms of iterator_traits as +is done here. Implementations can (and some do) achieve the same +effect by means of function template overloading. +

    +

    Discussion:

    +

    + +Section 22.2, paragraph 2 requires facet get() members +that take an ios_base::iostate& argument, +err, to ignore the (initial) value of the +argument, but to set it to ios_base::failbit in case of a +parse error. + +

    +

    + +We believe there are a few minor problems with this blanket +requirement in conjunction with the wording specific to each +get() member function. + +

    +

    + +First, besides get() there are other member functions +with a slightly different name (for example, +get_date()). It's not completely clear that the intent of +the paragraph is to include those as well, and at least one +implementation has interpreted the requirement literally. + +

    +

    + +Second, the requirement to "set the argument to +ios_base::failbit suggests that the functions are not +permitted to set it to any other value (such as +ios_base::eofbit, or even ios_base::eofbit | +ios_base::failbit). + +

    +

    + +However, 22.2.2.1.2, p5 (Stage 3 of num_get parsing) and +p6 (bool parsing) specifies that the do_get +functions perform err |= ios_base::eofbit, which +contradicts the earlier requirement to ignore err's initial +value. + +

    Discussion:

    -17.6.2.2 [using.headers] states: +20.4.9 [lib.meta.req], Implementation requirements, provides latitude for type +traits implementers that is not needed in C++0x. It includes the wording:

    -A translation unit shall include a header only outside of any -external declaration or definition, [...] +[Note: the latitude granted to implementers in this clause is temporary, +and is expected to be removed in future revisions of this document. -- end note]

    -I see three problems with this requirement: -

    - -
      -
    1. The C++ standard doesn't define what an "external declaration" or -an "external definition" are (incidentally the C99 standard does, and -has a sentence very similar to the above regarding header inclusion). -

      -I think the intent is that the #include directive shall lexically -appear outside *any* declaration; instead, when the issue was pointed -out on comp.std.c++ at least one poster interpreted "external -declaration" as "declaration of an identifier with external linkage". -If this were the correct interpretation, then the two inclusions below -would be legal: -

      -
        // at global scope
      -  static void f()
      -  {
      -# include <cstddef>
      -  }
      -
      -  static void g()
      -  {
      -# include <stddef.h>
      -  }
      -
      -

      -(note that while the first example is unlikely to compile correctly, -the second one may well do) -

    2. - -
    3. as the sentence stands, violations will require a diagnostic; is -this the intent? It was pointed out on comp.std.c++ (by several -posters) that at least one way to ensure a diagnostic exists: +Note: +N2157: Minor Modifications to the type traits Wording +also has the intent of removing this wording from the WP.

      -

      - [If there is an actual file for each header,] one simple way - to implement this would be to insert a reserved identifier - such as __begin_header at the start of each standard header. - This reserved identifier would be ignored for all other - purposes, except that, at the appropriate point in phase 7, if - it is found inside an external definition, a diagnostic is - generated. There's many other similar ways to achieve the same - effect. -

      - Those seeking to conveniently enable argument-dependent - lookups for all operators within an explicit namespace - could easily create a header file that does so: -

    Discussion:

    -From Section 22.4.2.1.2 [facet.num.get.virtuals], paragraphs 11 and 12, it is implied -that the value read from a stream must be stored -even if the placement of thousands separators does not conform to the -grouping() specification from the numpunct facet. -Since incorrectly-placed thousands separators are flagged as an extraction -failure (by the means of failbit), we believe it is better not -to store the value. A consistent strategy, in which any kind of extraction -failure leaves the input item intact, is conceptually cleaner, is able to avoid -corner-case traps, and is also more understandable from the programmer's point -of view. +I just spotted a minor problem in 27.8.1.7 +[lib.ifstream.members] para 4 and also 27.8.1.13 +[lib.fstream.members] para 4. In both places it says:

    +
    +
    void close();
    +

    -Here is a quote from "The C++ Programming Language (Special Edition)" -by B. Stroustrup (Section D.4.2.3, pg. 897): +Effects: Calls rdbuf()->close() and, if that function returns false, ...

    -

    -"If a value of the desired type could not be read, failbit is set in r. -[...] An input operator will use r to determine how to set the state of its -stream. If no error was encountered, the value read is assigned through v; -otherwise, v is left unchanged." -

    +

    -This statement implies that rdstate() alone is sufficient to -determine whether an extracted value is to be assigned to the input item -val passed to do_get. However, this is in disagreement -with the current C++ Standard. The above-mentioned assumption is true in all -cases, except when there are mismatches in digit grouping. In the latter case, -the parsed value is assigned to val, and, at the same time, err -is assigned to ios_base::failbit (essentially "lying" about the -success of the operation). Is this intentional? The current behavior raises -both consistency and usability concerns. +However, basic_filebuf::close() (27.8.1.2) returns a pointer to the +filebuf on success, null on failure, so I think it is meant to +say "if that function returns a null pointer". Oddly, it is +correct for basic_ofstream.

    + + +

    Proposed resolution:

    -Although digit grouping is outside the scope of scanf (on which -the virtual methods of num_get are based), handling of grouping -should be consistent with the overall behavior of scanf. The specification of -scanf makes a distinction between input failures and matching -failures, and yet both kinds of failures have no effect on the input items -passed to scanf. A mismatch in digit grouping logically falls in -the category of matching failures, and it would be more consistent, and less -surprising to the user, to leave the input item intact whenever a failure is -being signaled. +Change 27.9.1.9 [ifstream.members], p5:

    + +

    +Effects: Calls rdbuf()->close() and, if that function +fails (returns false a null pointer), +calls setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure +(27.4.4.3)). +

    +

    -The extraction of bool is another example outside the scope of -scanf, and yet consistent, even in the event of a successful -extraction of a long but a failed conversion from -long to bool. +Change 27.9.1.17 [fstream.members], p5:

    Discussion:

    -Inconsistency is further aggravated by the fact that, when failbit is set, -subsequent extraction operations are no-ops until failbit is -explicitly cleared. Assuming that there is no explicit handling of -rdstate() (as in cin>>i>>j) it is -counter-intuitive to be able to extract an integer with mismatched digit -grouping, but to be unable to extract another, properly-formatted integer -that immediately follows. +In a private email, Daveed writes:

    +

    -Moreover, setting failbit, and selectively assigning a value to -the input item, raises usability problems. Either the strategy of -scanf (when there is no extracted value in case of failure), or -the strategy of the strtol family (when there is always an -extracted value, and there are well-defined defaults in case of a failure) are -easy to understand and easy to use. On the other hand, if failbit -alone cannot consistently make a difference between a failed extraction, and a -successful but not-quite-correct extraction whose output happens to be the same -as the previous value, the programmer must resort to implementation tricks. -Consider the following example: +I am not familiar with the C TR, but my guess is that the +class type approach still won't match a built-in type +approach because the notion of "promotion" cannot be +emulated by user-defined types.

    -
        int i = old_i;
    -    cin >> i;
    -    if (cin.fail())
    -        // can the value of i be trusted?
    -        // what does it mean if i == old_i?
    -        // ...
    -

    -Last but not least, the current behvaior is not only confusing to the casual -reader, but it has also been confusing to some book authors. Besides -Stroustrup's book, other books (e.g. "Standard C++ IOStreams and Locales" by -Langer and Kreft) are describing the same mistaken assumption. Although books -are not to be used instead of the standard reference, the readers of these -books, as well as the people who are generally familiar to scanf, -are even more likely to misinterpret the standard, and expect the input items -to remain intact when a failure occurs. +Here is an example:

    +
    +
    +         struct S {
    +           S(_Decimal32 const&);  // Converting constructor
    +         };
    +         void f(S);
     
    +         void f(_Decimal64);
     
    -

    Proposed resolution:

    + void g(_Decimal32 d) { + f(d); + } +
    +

    -Change 22.4.2.1.2 [facet.num.get.virtuals]: +If _Decimal32 is a built-in type, the call f(d) will likely +resolve to f(_Decimal64) because that requires only a +promotion, whereas f(S) requires a user-defined conversion. +

    +

    +If _Decimal32 is a class type, I think the call f(d) will be +ambiguous because both the conversion to _Decimal64 and the +conversion to S will be user-defined conversions with neither +better than the other.

    +
    +

    +Robert comments: +

    +

    In general, a library of arithmetic types cannot exactly emulate the +behavior of the intrinsic numeric types. There are several ways to tell +whether an implementation of the decimal types uses compiler +intrinisics or a library. For example: +

    +
                     _Decimal32 d1;
    +                 d1.operator+=(5);  // If d1 is a builtin type, this won't compile.
    +
    +

    +In preparing the decimal TR, we have three options: +

    +
      +
    1. require that the decimal types be class types
    2. +
    3. require that the decimal types be builtin types, like float and double
    4. +
    5. specify a library of class types, but allow enough implementor +latitude that a conforming implementation could instead provide builtin +types
    6. +
    +

    +We decided as a group to pursue option #3, but that approach implies +that implementations may not agree on the semantics of certain use +cases (first example, above), or on whether certain other cases are +well-formed (second example). Another potentially important problem is +that, under the present definition of POD, the decimal classes are not +POD types, but builtins will be. +

    +

    Note that neither example above implies any problems with respect to +C-to-C++ compatibility, since neither example can be expressed in C. +

    -

    -The current proposed resolution simply lists the requirements for each function. -These might better be hoisted into the requirements table for unordered associative containers. -Futhermore a mild reorganization of the container requirements could well be in order. -This defect report is purposefully ignoring these larger issues and just focusing -on getting the unordered containers "moved". +"Tables 59,228) 60, 61, 62,and 63 229) 230) describe headers <cctype>, +<cwctype>, <cstring>, <cwchar>, and <cstdlib> (character conversions), +respectively." +

    +

    +Here footnote 229 applies to table 62, not table 63. +

    -Add to 23.5.1.1 [unord.map.cnstr]: +I recognize the need for nothrow guarantees in the exception reporting +mechanism, but I strongly believe that implementors also need an escape hatch +when memory gets really low.

    +A recent news group discussion: +

    -

    -Effects: If the unordered_map does not already contain an -element whose key is equivalent to k , inserts the value -std::pair<const key_type, mapped_type>(std::move(k), mapped_type()). -

    +

    +Anyone know if the Standard has anything to say about the time complexity +of size() for std::set? I need to access a set's size (/not/ to know if it is empty!) heavily +during an algorithm and was thus wondering whether I'd be better off +tracking the size "manually" or whether that'd be pointless. +

    +

    +That would be pointless. size() is O(1). +

    +

    +Nit: the standard says "should" have constant time. Implementations may take +license to do worse. I know that some do this for std::list<> as a part of +some trade-off with other operation. +

    +

    +I was aware of that, hence my reluctance to use size() for std::set. +

    +

    +However, this reason would not apply to std::set<> as far as I can see. +

    +

    +Ok, I guess the only option is to try it and see... +

    -Add new section [unord.map.modifiers]: +If I have any recommendation to the C++ Standards Committee it is that +implementations must (not "should"!) document clearly[1], where known, the +time complexity of *all* container access operations. +

    +

    +[1] In my case (gcc 4.1.1) I can't swear that the time complexity of size() +for std::set is not documented... but if it is it's certainly well hidden +away.

    Discussion:

    -The most recent state of -N2241 -as well as the current draft -N2284 -(section 19.5 [syserr], p.2) proposes a -new -enumeration type posix_errno immediatly in the namespace std. One of -the enumerators has the name invalid_argument, or fully qualified: -std::invalid_argument. This name clashes with the exception type -std::invalid_argument, see 19.2 [std.exceptions]/p.3. This clash makes -e.g. the following snippet invalid: +According to the description given in 28.10 [re.results]/2 the class template +match_results "shall satisfy the requirements of a Sequence, [..], +except that only operations defined for const-qualified Sequences +are supported". +Comparing the provided operations from 28.10 [re.results]/3 with the +sequence/container tables 80 and 81 one recognizes the following +missing operations:

    -
    #include <system_error>
    -#include <stdexcept>
    +

    -void foo() { throw std::invalid_argument("Don't call us - we call you!"); } +
    const_iterator rbegin() const;
    +const_iterator rend() const;
     

    -I propose that this enumeration type (and probably the remaining parts -of -<system_error> as well) should be moved into one additional inner -namespace, e.g. sys or system to reduce foreseeable future clashes -due -to the great number of members that std::posix_errno already contains -(Btw.: Why has the already proposed std::sys sub-namespace from -N2066 -been rejected?). A further clash candidate seems to be -std::protocol_error -(a reasonable name for an exception related to a std network library, -I guess). -

    -Another possible resolution would rely on the proposed strongly typed -enums, -as described in N2213. -But maybe the forbidden implicit conversion to integral types would -make -these enumerators less attractive in this special case? +should exists because 23.1/10 demands these for containers +(all sequences are containers) which support bidirectional +iterators.

    Discussion:

    -The move-related changes inadvertently overwrote the intent of 276. -Issue 276 removed the requirement of CopyAssignable from -most of the member functions of node-based containers. But the move-related changes -unnecessarily introduced the MoveAssignable requirement for those members which used to -require CopyAssignable. +(b) The existence of const_reference operator[](size_type n) const +implies even random-access iteration. +I also suggest, that match_result should explicitly mention, +which minimum iterator category is supported and if this does +not include random-access the existence of operator[] is +somewhat questionable.

    -

    -We also discussed (c++std-lib-18722) the possibility of dropping MoveAssignable -from some of the sequence requirements. Additionally the in-place construction -work may further reduce requirements. For purposes of an easy reference, here are the -minimum sequence requirements as I currently understand them. Those items in requirements -table in the working draft which do not appear below have been purposefully omitted for -brevity as they do not have any requirements of this nature. Some items which do not -have any requirements of this nature are included below just to confirm that they were -not omitted by mistake. +2) The new "convenience" members

    -From the Toronto Core wiki: -

    -

    -What do you mean by "null pointer constant"? How do you guarantee that -exception_ptr() == 1 doesn't work? Do you even want to prevent that? -What's the semantics? What about void *p = 0; exception_ptr() == p? -Maybe disallow those in the interface, but how do you do that with -portable C++? Could specify just "make it work". +28.11.3 [re.alg.search]/5 declares

    +

    -null pointer constant as defined in 4.10 [conv.ptr]. Intent is "just make it -work", can be implemented as assignment operator taking a unique pointer -to member, as in the unspecified bool type idiom. +where it's not explained, which iterator category +the parameter iterator belongs to. This is inconsistent +to the preceding declaration in the synopsis section +28.4 [re.syn], which says:

    +
    -
    -

    -Original implementation was possible using the "unspecified-null-pointer" idiom, similar to unspecified-bool. -

    Proposed resolution:

    -Even simpler now with nullptr_t. +In 28.11.3 [re.alg.search]/5 replace all three occurences of param "iterator" with +"BidirectionalIterator"

    Discussion:

    -Since the return type of valarray's operator[] const overload has been -changed to const T& as described in 389 several paragraphs of -the section 26.6.2.3 [valarray.access] are now -incompletely -specified, because many requirements and guarantees should now also -apply to the const overload. Most notably, the address and reference -guarantees should be extended to the const overload case. -

    - - -

    Proposed resolution:

    -

    -Change 26.6.2.3 [valarray.access]: +In 28.12.1.1 [re.regiter.cnstr]/2 the effects paragraph starts with:

    --1- When applied to a constant array, the subscript operator returns a -reference to the corresponding element of the array. When applied to a -non-constant array, tThe subscript operator returns a -reference to the corresponding element of the array. -

    +Effects: Initializes begin and end to point to the beginning and the +end of the target sequence, sets pregex to &re, sets flags to f,[..] +

    --3- The expression &a[i+j] == &a[i] + j evaluates as true for all size_t i -and size_t j such that i+j is less -than the length of the non-constant array a. +There are two issues with this description:

    -

    --4- Likewise, the expression &a[i] != &b[j] evaluates -as true for any two non-constant arrays a and -b and for any size_t i and size_t j such that -i is less than the length of a and j is less -than the length of b. This property indicates an absence of -aliasing and may be used to advantage by optimizing -compilers.281) -

    +
      +
    1. +The meaning of very first part of this quote is unclear, because +there is no target sequence provided, instead there are given two +parameters a and b, both of type BidirectionalIterator. The mentioned +part does not explain what a and b represent. +
    2. +
    3. +There does not exist any parameter f, but instead a parameter +m in the constructor declaration, so this is actually an editorial +fix. +
    4. +
    + +

    Proposed resolution:

    --5- The reference returned by the subscript operator for an non-constant array is guaranteed to be valid until -the member function resize(size_t, T) (26.5.2.7) is called for that array or until the lifetime -of that array ends, whichever happens first. +In 28.12.1.1 [re.regiter.cnstr]/2 change the above quoted part by

If this call returns false the +constructor sets *this to the end-of-sequence iterator. +

    Discussion:

    -The 3rd table row in X [rand.req.eng]/3 requires random number engines to accept any -arithmetic type as a seed, which is then casted to the engine's result_type and subsequently -used for seeding the state of the engine. The requirement stated as "Creates an engine with -initial state determined by static_cast<X::result_type>(s)" forces random number engines -to either use a seeding method that completely depends on the result_type (see the discussion -of seeding for the mersenne_twister_engine in point T2 above) or at least to throw away "bits -of randomness" in the seed value if the result_type is smaller than the seed type. This seems -to be inappropriate for many modern random number generators, in particular F2-linear or -cryptographic ones, which operate on an internal bit array that in principle is independent of the -type of numbers returned.

Furthermore, it is not clear to -me what exactly the guarantee "with initial state determined by -static_cast<X::result_type>(s)" is useful for.

      -The proper way to seed random number engines seems to be the most frequently -discussed issue of the 26.5 [rand] proposal. While the new seed_seq approach is already rather -general and probably sufficient for most situations, it is unlikely to be optimal in every case (one -problem was pointed out in point T5 above).

      Discussion:

      -The requirement "P shall have a declaration of the form typedef X distribution_- -type" effectively makes the use of inheritance for implementing distributions very inconvenient, -because the child of a distribution class in general will not satisfy this requirement. In my opinion -the benefits of having a typedef in the parameter class pointing back to the distribution class are -not worth the hassle this requirement causes. [In my code base I never made use of the nested -typedef but on several occasions could have profited from being able to use simple inheritance for -the implementation of a distribution class.] +From Section 22.4.2.1.2 [facet.num.get.virtuals], paragraphs 11 and 12, it is implied +that the value read from a stream must be stored +even if the placement of thousands separators does not conform to the +grouping() specification from the numpunct facet. +Since incorrectly-placed thousands separators are flagged as an extraction +failure (by the means of failbit), we believe it is better not +to store the value. A consistent strategy, in which any kind of extraction +failure leaves the input item intact, is conceptually cleaner, is able to avoid +corner-case traps, and is also more understandable from the programmer's point +of view.

      -

      -Proposed resolution: I propose to drop this requirement. +Here is a quote from "The C++ Programming Language (Special Edition)" +by B. Stroustrup (Section D.4.2.3, pg. 897): +

      +

      +"If a value of the desired type could not be read, failbit is set in r. +[...] An input operator will use r to determine how to set the state of its +stream. If no error was encountered, the value read is assigned through v; +otherwise, v is left unchanged." +

      +

      +This statement implies that rdstate() alone is sufficient to +determine whether an extracted value is to be assigned to the input item +val passed to do_get. However, this is in disagreement +with the current C++ Standard. The above-mentioned assumption is true in all +cases, except when there are mismatches in digit grouping. In the latter case, +the parsed value is assigned to val, and, at the same time, err +is assigned to ios_base::failbit (essentially "lying" about the +success of the operation). Is this intentional? The current behavior raises +both consistency and usability concerns. +

      +

      +Although digit grouping is outside the scope of scanf (on which +the virtual methods of num_get are based), handling of grouping +should be consistent with the overall behavior of scanf. The specification of +scanf makes a distinction between input failures and matching +failures, and yet both kinds of failures have no effect on the input items +passed to scanf. A mismatch in digit grouping logically falls in +the category of matching failures, and it would be more consistent, and less +surprising to the user, to leave the input item intact whenever a failure is +being signaled. +

      +

      +The extraction of bool is another example outside the scope of +scanf, and yet consistent, even in the event of a successful +extraction of a long but a failed conversion from +long to bool. +

      +

      +Inconsistency is further aggravated by the fact that, when failbit is set, +subsequent extraction operations are no-ops until failbit is +explicitly cleared. Assuming that there is no explicit handling of +rdstate() (as in cin>>i>>j) it is +counter-intuitive to be able to extract an integer with mismatched digit +grouping, but to be unable to extract another, properly-formatted integer +that immediately follows. +

      +

      +Moreover, setting failbit, and selectively assigning a value to +the input item, raises usability problems. Either the strategy of +scanf (when there is no extracted value in case of failure), or +the strategy of the strtol family (when there is always an +extracted value, and there are well-defined defaults in case of a failure) are +easy to understand and easy to use. On the other hand, if failbit +alone cannot consistently make a difference between a failed extraction, and a +successful but not-quite-correct extraction whose output happens to be the same +as the previous value, the programmer must resort to implementation tricks. +Consider the following example: +

      +
          int i = old_i;
      +    cin >> i;
      +    if (cin.fail())
      +        // can the value of i be trusted?
      +        // what does it mean if i == old_i?
      +        // ...
      +
      +

      +Last but not least, the current behvaior is not only confusing to the casual +reader, but it has also been confusing to some book authors. Besides +Stroustrup's book, other books (e.g. "Standard C++ IOStreams and Locales" by +Langer and Kreft) are describing the same mistaken assumption. Although books +are not to be used instead of the standard reference, the readers of these +books, as well as the people who are generally familiar to scanf, +are even more likely to misinterpret the standard, and expect the input items +to remain intact when a failure occurs.

      Discussion:

      -In my opinion the choice of name for the t parameter of the binomial_distribution -is very unfortunate. In virtually every internet reference, book and software implementation -this parameter is called n instead, see for example Wikipedia, Mathworld, Evans et al. (1993) -Statistical Distributions, 2nd E., Wiley, p. 38, the R statistical computing language, p. 926, -Mathematica and Matlab. +22.4.6.1.2 [locale.money.get.virtuals], para 1 says:

      +

      +The result is returned as an integral value +stored in units or as a sequence of digits possibly preceded by a +minus sign (as produced by ct.widen(c) where c is '-' or in the range +from '0' through '9', inclusive) stored in digits. +

      +

      -Similarly, the choice of k for the parameter of the negative binomial distributions is rather unusual. -The most common choice for the negative binomial distribution seems to be r instead. +The following +objection has been raised:

      +

      +Some implementations interpret this to mean that a facet derived from +ctype<wchar_t> can provide its own member do_widen(char) +which produces e.g. L'@' for the "widened" minus sign, and that the +'@' symbol will appear in the resulting sequence of digits. Other +implementations have assumed that one or more places in the standard permit the +implementation to "hard-wire" L'-' as the "widened" minus sign. Are +both interpretations permissible, or only one? +

      +

      -Choosing unusual names for the parameters causes confusion among users and makes the -interface unnecessarily inconvenient to use. +[Plum ref _222612Y14]

      -Possible resolution: For these reasons, I propose to change the name of the respective parameters -to n and r. +Furthermore: if ct.widen('9') produces L'X' (a non-digit), does a +parse fail if a '9' appears in the subject string? [Plum ref _22263Y33]

      1. -The specification for discrete_distribution requires the member probabilities() -to return a vector of standardized probabilities, which forces the implementation every time to -divide each probability by the sum of all probabilities, as the sum will in practice almost never be -exactly 1.0. This is unnecessarily inef ficient as the implementation would otherwise not need to -compute the standardized probabilities at all and could instead work with the non-standardized -probabilities and the sum. If there was no standardization the user would just get back the -probabilities that were previously supplied to the distribution object, which to me seems to be the -more obvious solution. -

      3. -The behaviour of discrete_distribution is not specified in case the number of given -probabilities is larger than the maximum number representable by the IntType. -

      -Replace the declarations of get_deleter in the header <memory> -synopsis of 20.8 [memory] and in 20.8.13.2.11 [util.smartptr.getdeleter] by one of the -following alternatives (A) or (B): +The most recent state of +N2241 +as well as the current draft +N2284 +(section 19.5 [syserr], p.2) proposes a +new +enumeration type posix_errno immediatly in the namespace std. One of +the enumerators has the name invalid_argument, or fully qualified: +std::invalid_argument. This name clashes with the exception type +std::invalid_argument, see 19.2 [std.exceptions]/p.3. This clash makes +e.g. the following snippet invalid:

      -

      1. -Provide only the immutable variant. This would reflect the -current praxis of container::get_allocator(), map::key_comp(), or -map::value_comp. +

      -Alberto Ganesh Barbati adds: +I propose that this enumeration type (and probably the remaining parts +of +<system_error> as well) should be moved into one additional inner +namespace, e.g. sys or system to reduce foreseeable future clashes +due +to the great number of members that std::posix_errno already contains +(Btw.: Why has the already proposed std::sys sub-namespace from +N2066 +been rejected?).

      1. -Replace it with two functions: +Another possible resolution would rely on the proposed strongly typed +enums, +as described in N2213. +But maybe the forbidden implicit conversion to integral types would +make +these enumerators less attractive in this special case?

        Proposed resolution:

        -The first one would throw if D is the wrong type, while the latter would -never throw. This approach would reflect the current praxis of -use_facet/has_facet, with the twist of returning the deleter by value as -container::get_allocator() do. +Fixed by issue 7 of N2422.

      Discussion:

      -The associative containers provide 2 overloads of emplace(): +The 3rd table row in X [rand.req.eng]/3 requires random number engines to accept any +arithmetic type as a seed, which is then casted to the engine's result_type and subsequently +used for seeding the state of the engine. The requirement stated as "Creates an engine with +initial state determined by static_cast<X::result_type>(s)" forces random number engines +to either use a seeding method that completely depends on the result_type (see the discussion +of seeding for the mersenne_twister_engine in point T2 above) or at least to throw away "bits +of randomness" in the seed value if the result_type is smaller than the seed type. This seems +to be inappropriate for many modern random number generators, in particular F2-linear or +cryptographic ones, which operate on an internal bit array that in principle is independent of the +type of numbers returned.

      +

      +The descriptions of all engines and engine adaptors given in sections +26.5.3 [rand.eng] and 26.5.4 [rand.adapt] already specify the concrete +types of the integer arguments for seeding. Hence, relaxing the general +requirement in X [rand.req.eng] would not affect portability and +reproducibility of the standard library. Furthermore, it is not clear to +me what exactly the guarantee "with initial state determined by +static_cast<X::result_type>(s)" is useful for.

      Discussion:

      - A major attribute of the unordered containers is that iterating -though them inside a bucket is very fast while iterating between buckets -can be much slower. If an unordered container has a low load factor, -iterating between the last iterator in one bucket and the next iterator, -which is in another bucket, is O(bucket_count()) which may be much -larger than O(size()). -

      -

      - If b is an non-const unordered container of type B and k is an -object of it's key_type, then b.equal_range(k) currently returns -pair<B::iterator, B::iterator>. Consider the following code: +If an engine adaptor is invoked with an argument of type seed_seq, then all base +engines are specified to be seeded with this seed_seq. As seed_seq's randomization method is +qualified as constant, this procedure will ef fectively initialize all base engines with the same seed +(though the resulting state might still dif fer to a certain degree if the engines are of different types). +It is not clear whether this mode of operation is in general appropriate, hence -- as far as the +stated requirements are of general nature and not just specific to the engine adaptors provided by +the library -- it might be better to leave the behaviour unspecified, since the current definition of +seed_seq does not allow for a generally satisfying specification.

      -If b.equal_range(k) returns a non-empty range (i.e. b contains at least -on element whose key is equivalent to k), then every iterator in the -half-open range [lb, ub) will be in the same bucket, but ub will likely -either be in a different bucket or be equal to b.end(). In either case, -iterating between ub - 1 and ub could take a much longer time than -iterating through the rest of the range. +Posssible resolution: [As above]

      +

      -If instead of returning pair<iterator, iterator>, equal_range were to -return pair<local_iterator, local_iterator>, then ub (which, like lb, -would now be a local_iterator) could be guaranteed to always be in the -same bucket as lb. In the cases where currently ub is equal to b.end() -or is in a different bucket, ub would be equal to b.end(b.bucket(key)). - This would make iterating between lb and ub much faster, as every -iteration would be constant time. +See N2424 +for further discussion.

      -unique_lock::release will probably lead to many mistakes where people -call release instead of unlock. I just coded such a mistake using the -boost pre-1.35 threads library last week. -

      +
        +
      1. +The specification for discrete_distribution requires the member probabilities() +to return a vector of standardized probabilities, which forces the implementation every time to +divide each probability by the sum of all probabilities, as the sum will in practice almost never be +exactly 1.0. This is unnecessarily inef ficient as the implementation would otherwise not need to +compute the standardized probabilities at all and could instead work with the non-standardized +probabilities and the sum. If there was no standardization the user would just get back the +probabilities that were previously supplied to the distribution object, which to me seems to be the +more obvious solution. +
      2. +
      3. +The behaviour of discrete_distribution is not specified in case the number of given +probabilities is larger than the maximum number representable by the IntType. +

      -In many threading libraries, a call with release in it unlocks the -lock (e.g. ReleaseMutex in Win32, java.util.concurrent.Semaphore). +Possible resolution: I propose to change the specification such that the non-standardized +probabilities need to be returned and that an additional requirement is included for the number +of probabilities to be smaller than the maximum of IntType.

      -I don't call unique_lock::lock much at all, so I don't get to see the -symmetry between ::lock and ::unlock. I usually use the constructor to -lock the mutex.

      -The draft C++0x thread library requires that the time points of type -system_time and returned by get_system_time() represent Coordinated -Universal Time (UTC) (section X [datetime.system]). This can lead to -surprising behavior when a library user performs a duration-based wait, -such as condition_variable::timed_wait(). A complete explanation of the -problem may be found in the -Rationale for the Monotonic Clock -section in POSIX, but in summary: +Changae in para. 2

      -
        -
      • -Operations such as condition_variable::timed_wait() (and its POSIX -equivalent, pthread_cond_timedwait()) are specified using absolute times -to address the problem of spurious wakeups. -
      • +
        +Constructs a discrete_distribution object with n=1 and p0 = w0 = 1 +
        -
      • -The typical use of the timed wait operations is to perform a relative -wait. This may be achieved by first calculating an absolute time as the -sum of the current time and the desired duration. In fact, the C++0x -thread library includes duration-based overloads of -condition_variable::timed_wait() that behave as if by calling the -corresponding absolute time overload with a time point value of -get_system_time() + rel_time. -
      • +

        +and change in para. 5 +

        -
      • -A UTC clock may be affected by changes to the system time, such as -synchronization with an external source, leap seconds, or manual changes -to the clock. -

        +Returns: A vector<double> whose size member returns n and whose +operator[] member returns pk +the weight wk as a double value +when invoked with argument k for k = 0, +..., n-1 +
        -
      • -Should the clock change during a timed wait operation, the actual -duration of the wait will not be the expected length. For example, a -user may intend a timed wait of one second duration but, due to an -adjustment of the system clock backwards by a minute, the wait instead -takes 61 seconds. -
      • -
      +

      -POSIX solves the problem by introducing a new monotonic clock, which is -unaffected by changes to the system time. When a condition variable is -initialized, the user may specify whether the monotonic clock is to be -used. (It is worth noting that on POSIX systems it is not possible to -use condition_variable::native_handle() to access this facility, since -the desired clock type must be specified during construction of the -condition variable object.) +Proposed wording b):

      +

      -In the context of the C++0x thread library, there are added dimensions -to the problem due to the need to support platforms other than POSIX: +Change in para. 3:

      -
        -
      • -Some environments (such as embedded systems) do not have a UTC clock, but do have a monotonic clock. -
      • +
        +If firstW == lastW, let the sequence w have length n = 1 and consist +of the single value w0 = 1. Otherwise, [firstW,lastW) shall form a +sequence w of length n > 0 +such that 0 < n <= numeric_limits<IntType>::max(), +and *firstW shall yield a value w0 +convertible to double. [Note: The values wk are commonly known +as the weights . -- end note] +

      • +
      -
    5. -The Microsoft Windows API's synchronization functions use relative -timeouts based on an implied monotonic clock. A program that switches -from the Windows API to the C++0x thread library will now find itself -susceptible to clock changes. -

      Discussion:

      -TR1 5.1.4.2 [tr.rand.eng.mers](10) requires that operator== for the mersenne_twister -returns true if and only if the states of two mersenne_twisters, -consisting each of n integers between 0 and 2w - 1, are completely -equal. This is a contradiction with TR1 5.1.1 [tr.rand.req](3) because the given -definition of the state also includes the lower r bits of x(i-n), which -will never be used to generate a random number. If two mersenne_twisters -only differ in the lower bits of x(i-n) they will not compare equal, -although they will produce an identical sequence of random numbers. +14882-2003, [lib.uninitialized.copy] is currently written as follows:

      +
      +
      template <class InputIterator, class ForwardIterator>
      +  ForwardIterator uninitialized_copy(InputIterator first, InputIterator last,
      +                                     ForwardIterator result);
      +
      +

      -26.5.3.2 [rand.eng.mers] in the latest C++ draft does not specify the behaviour -of operator== but uses a similar definition of the state and, just like -TR1 5.1.4.2 [tr.rand.eng.mers], requires the textual representation of a -mersenne_twister_engine to consist of Xi-n to Xi-1, including the -lower bits of Xi-n. This leads to two problems: First, the -unsuspecting implementer is likely to erroneously compare the lower r -bits of Xi-n in operator==. Second, if only the lower r bits differ, -two mersenne_twister_engines will compare equal (if correctly -implemented) but have different textual representations, which -conceptually is a bit ugly. +-1- Effects:

      - +
      for (; first != last; ++result, ++first)
      +  new (static_cast<void*>(&*result))
      +    typename iterator_traits<ForwardIterator>::value_type(*first);
      +

      -I propose that a paragraph or footnote is added to 26.5.3.2 [rand.eng.mers] which -clarifies that the lower r bits of Xi-n are not to be compared in -operator== and operator!=. It would only be consequent if furthermore -the specification for the textual respresentation was changed to -Xi-n bitand ((2w - 1) - (2r - 1)), Xi-(n-1), ..., Xi-1 or -something similar. +-2- Returns: result

      +

      -Bill feels that this is NAD, not enough practical importance to abandon -the simple definition of equality, and someone would have to do a lot -more study to ensure that all cases are covered for a very small -payback. The submitter admits that "These changes would likely have no -practical effect,", and according to Plum's razor this means that it is -not worth the effort! +It's not clear to me what the return clause is supposed to mean, I see +two +possible interpretations:

      + +
        +
      1. +The notion of result is supposed to mean the value given by the +function parameter result [Note to the issue editor: Please use italics for +result]. +This seems somewhat implied by recognizing that both the function +parameter +and the name used in the clause do have the same italic font. +
      2. +
      3. +The notion of "result" is supposed to mean the value of result +after the +preceding effects clause. This is in fact what all implementations I +checked +do (and which is probably it's intend, because it matches the +specification of std::copy). +
      4. +
      +

      -Revisted: Agree that the fact that there is no practical difference means that no change can be justified. +The problem is: I see nothing in the standard which grants that this +interpretation +is correct, specifically [lib.structure.specifications] or +17.5.1.4 [structure.specifications] +resp. do not clarify which "look-up" rules apply for names found in +the elements +of the detailed specifications - Do they relate to the corresponding +synopsis or +to the effects clause (or possibly other elements)? Fortunately most +detailed +descriptions are unambigious in this regard, e.g. this problem does +not apply +for std::copy.

        -

        -The results produced by seed_seq::generate with the two inputs are -different but nevertheless equivalently "mixed up" and this remains -true even if the seed string is long. -

      • -

        -With long strings (e.g., with bit-length comparable to the number of - bits in the state), v is longer (by a factor of 4) with the simplified - proposal and seed_seq::generate will be slower. -

        764. equal_range on unordered containers should return a pair of local_iterators

        Discussion:

        -A user can pass an array of 64-bit integers and all the bits will be - used. + A major attribute of the unordered containers is that iterating +though them inside a bucket is very fast while iterating between buckets +can be much slower. If an unordered container has a low load factor, +iterating between the last iterator in one bucket and the next iterator, +which is in another bucket, is O(bucket_count()) which may be much +larger than O(size()).

        - Response: Indeed. However, there are many instances in the - n2461 - where integers are silently coerced to a narrower width and this - should just be a case of the user needing to read the documentation. - The user can of course get equivalent behavior by repacking his seed - into 32-bit pieces. Furthermore, the unportability of the - n2461 - proposal with + If b is an non-const unordered container of type B and k is an +object of it's key_type, then b.equal_range(k) currently returns +pair<B::iterator, B::iterator>. Consider the following code:

        -
        unsigned long s[] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
        -seed_seq q(s, s+4);
        +
        +
        B::iterator lb, ub;
        +tie(lb, ub) = b.equal_range(k);
        +for (B::iterator it = lb; it != ub; ++it) {
        +        // Do something with *it
        +}
         
        +

        - which typically results in v = {1, 2, 3, 4} on 32-bit machines and in -v = {1, 0, 2, 0, 3, 0, 4, 0} on 64-bit machines is a major pitfall for - unsuspecting users. +If b.equal_range(k) returns a non-empty range (i.e. b contains at least +on element whose key is equivalent to k), then every iterator in the +half-open range [lb, ub) will be in the same bucket, but ub will likely +either be in a different bucket or be equal to b.end(). In either case, +iterating between ub - 1 and ub could take a much longer time than +iterating through the rest of the range.

        -

      -

      -Note: this proposal renders moot issues 782 and 800. +If instead of returning pair<iterator, iterator>, equal_range were to +return pair<local_iterator, local_iterator>, then ub (which, like lb, +would now be a local_iterator) could be guaranteed to always be in the +same bucket as lb. In the cases where currently ub is equal to b.end() +or is in a different bucket, ub would be equal to b.end(b.bucket(key)). + This would make iterating between lb and ub much faster, as every +iteration would be constant time.

      - This issue is close to being editorial. I suspect that the proposal - changing this section to include the specializations for char16_t - and char32_t accidentally used the wrong type. +In many threading libraries, a call with release in it unlocks the +lock (e.g. ReleaseMutex in Win32, java.util.concurrent.Semaphore).

      - -

      Proposed resolution:

      - In 21.2.3.1 [char.traits.specializations.char], - 21.2.3.2 [char.traits.specializations.char16_t], - 21.2.3.3 [char.traits.specializations.char32_t], and - [char.traits.specializations.wchar_t] correct the - argument type from char_type to int_type. +I don't call unique_lock::lock much at all, so I don't get to see the +symmetry between ::lock and ::unlock. I usually use the constructor to +lock the mutex. So I'm left to remember whether to call release or +unlock during the few times I need to release the mutex before the scope +ends. If I get it wrong, the compiler doesn't warn me.

      +

      +An alternative name for release may be disown. +

      -

      Rationale:

      -Already fixed in WP. - - +

      +This might be a rare case where usability is hurt by consistency with +the rest of the C++ standard (e.g. std::auto_ptr::release). +

      -

      -Initialization of objects of class error_code -(19.5.2 [syserr.errcode]) and class -error_condition (19.5.3 [syserr.errcondition]) can be made simpler and more reliable by use of -the new constexpr feature -[N2349] -of C++0x. Less code will need to be -generated for both library implementations and user programs when -manipulating constant objects of these types. -

      +Change a name from release to disown. However prior art uses the release +name. Compatibility with prior art is more important that any possible +benefit such a change might make. We do not see the benefit for +changing. NAD +
      -

      -This was not proposed originally because the constant expressions -proposal was moving into the standard at about the same time as the -Diagnostics Enhancements proposal -[N2241], -and it wasn't desirable to -make the later depend on the former. There were also technical concerns -as to how constexpr would apply to references. Those concerns are now -resolved; constexpr can't be used for references, and that fact is -reflected in the proposed resolution. -

      Proposed resolution:

      -LWG issue 804 is related in that it raises the question of whether the -exposition only member cat_ of class error_code (19.5.2 [syserr.errcode]) and class -error_condition (19.5.3 [syserr.errcondition]) should be presented as a reference or pointer. -While in the context of 804 that is arguably an editorial question, -presenting it as a pointer becomes more or less required with this -proposal, given constexpr does not play well with references.

      Discussion:

      -Returns: cat_. +The draft C++0x thread library requires that the time points of type +system_time and returned by get_system_time() represent Coordinated +Universal Time (UTC) (section [datetime.system]). This can lead to +surprising behavior when a library user performs a duration-based wait, +such as condition_variable::timed_wait(). A complete explanation of the +problem may be found in the +Rationale for the Monotonic Clock +section in POSIX, but in summary:

      + +
        +
      • +Operations such as condition_variable::timed_wait() (and its POSIX +equivalent, pthread_cond_timedwait()) are specified using absolute times +to address the problem of spurious wakeups. +
      • + +
      • +The typical use of the timed wait operations is to perform a relative +wait. This may be achieved by first calculating an absolute time as the +sum of the current time and the desired duration. In fact, the C++0x +thread library includes duration-based overloads of +condition_variable::timed_wait() that behave as if by calling the +corresponding absolute time overload with a time point value of +get_system_time() + rel_time. +
      • + +
      • +A UTC clock may be affected by changes to the system time, such as +synchronization with an external source, leap seconds, or manual changes +to the clock. +
      • + +
      • +Should the clock change during a timed wait operation, the actual +duration of the wait will not be the expected length. For example, a +user may intend a timed wait of one second duration but, due to an +adjustment of the system clock backwards by a minute, the wait instead +takes 61 seconds. +
      • +
      +

      -Throws: Nothing. +POSIX solves the problem by introducing a new monotonic clock, which is +unaffected by changes to the system time. When a condition variable is +initialized, the user may specify whether the monotonic clock is to be +used. (It is worth noting that on POSIX systems it is not possible to +use condition_variable::native_handle() to access this facility, since +the desired clock type must be specified during construction of the +condition variable object.)

      template<class _Fn>
      +   piecewise_constant_distribution(size_t _Count,

      [ +Sophia Antipolis: +]

      + + +
      +

      +Marc: uses variable width of bins and weight for each bin. This is not +giving enough flexibility to control both variables. +

If two mersenne_twisters +only differ in the lower bits of x(i-n) they will not compare equal, +although they will produce an identical sequence of random numbers. +

      + +

      +26.5.3.2 [rand.eng.mers] in the latest C++ draft does not specify the behaviour +of operator== but uses a similar definition of the state and, just like +TR1 5.1.4.2 [tr.rand.eng.mers], requires the textual representation of a +mersenne_twister_engine to consist of Xi-n to Xi-1, including the +lower bits of Xi-n. This leads to two problems: First, the +unsuspecting implementer is likely to erroneously compare the lower r +bits of Xi-n in operator==. Second, if only the lower r bits differ, +two mersenne_twister_engines will compare equal (if correctly +implemented) but have different textual representations, which +conceptually is a bit ugly. +

      + +

      +I propose that a paragraph or footnote is added to 26.5.3.2 [rand.eng.mers] which +clarifies that the lower r bits of Xi-n are not to be compared in +operator== and operator!=. It would only be consequent if furthermore +the specification for the textual respresentation was changed to +Xi-n bitand ((2w - 1) - (2r - 1)), Xi-(n-1), ..., Xi-1 or +something similar. +

      + +

      +These changes would likely have no practical effect, but would allow an +implementation that does the right thing to be standard-conformant. +

      +Fermi Lab has no objection to the proposed change. However it feels that +more time is needed to check the details, which would suggest a change +to REVIEW. +

      +Bill feels that this is NAD, not enough practical importance to abandon +the simple definition of equality, and someone would have to do a lot +more study to ensure that all cases are covered for a very small +payback. The submitter admits that "These changes would likely have no +practical effect,", and according to Plum's razor this means that it is +not worth the effort! +

      Discussion:

      +

      +The for-loop in the algorithm specification has n iterations, where n is +defined to be end - begin, i.e. the number of supplied w-bit quantities. +Previous versions of this algorithm and the general logic behind it +suggest that this is an oversight and that in the context of the +for-loop n should be the number of full 32-bit quantities in b (rounded +upwards). If w is 64, the current algorithm throws away half of all bits +in b. If w is 16, the current algorithm sets half of all elements in v +to 0. +

      + +

      +There are two more minor issues: +

      + +
        +
      • +Strictly speaking end - begin is not defined since +InputIterator is not required to be a random access iterator. +
      • +
      • +Currently all integral types are allowed as input to the seed_seq +constructor, including bool. IMHO allowing bools unnecessarily +complicates the implementation without any real benefit to the user. +I'd suggest to exclude bools as input. +

      803. Simplification of seed_seq::seq_seq

      +seed_seq(InputIterator begin, InputIterator end); constructs a seed_seq +object repacking the bits of supplied sequence [begin, end) into a +32-bit vector. +

      +

      +This repacking triggers several problems: +

      +
        +
      1. +Distinctness of the output of seed_seq::generate required the +introduction of the initial "if (w < 32) v.push_back(n);" (Otherwise +the unsigned short vectors [1, 0] and [1] generate the same sequence.) +
      2. +
      3. +Portability demanded the introduction of the template parameter u. +(Otherwise some sequences could not be obtained on computers where no +integer types are exactly 32-bits wide.) +
      4. +
      5. +The description and algorithm have become unduly complicated. +
      6. +
      +

      +I propose simplifying this seed_seq constructor to be "32-bit only". +Despite it's being simpler, there is NO loss of functionality (see +below). +

      +
      +
      +
      + +

      +Discussion: +

      +

      +The chief virtues here are simplicity, portability, and generality. +

      +
        +
      • +Simplicity -- compare the above specification with the +n2461 proposal. +
      • +
      • +Portability -- with iterator_traits<InputIterator>::value_type = +uint_least32_t the user is guaranteed to get the same behavior across +platforms. +
      • +
      • +Generality -- any behavior that the +n2461 +proposal can achieve can be +obtained with this simpler proposal (albeit with a shuffling of bits +in the input sequence). +
      • +
      +

      +Arguments (and counter-arguments) against making this change (and +retaining the +n2461 +behavior) are: +

      +
        +
      • +

        +The user can pass an array of unsigned char and seed_seq will nicely + repack it. +

        +

        + Response: So what? Consider the seed string "ABC". The + n2461 + proposal results in +

        +
        v = { 0x3, 0x434241 };
        +
        +

        +while the simplified proposal yields +

        +
        v = { 0x41, 0x42, 0x43 };
        +
        +

        +The results produced by seed_seq::generate with the two inputs are +different but nevertheless equivalently "mixed up" and this remains +true even if the seed string is long. +

        +
      • +
      • +

        +With long strings (e.g., with bit-length comparable to the number of + bits in the state), v is longer (by a factor of 4) with the simplified + proposal and seed_seq::generate will be slower. +

        +

        +Response: It's unlikely that the efficiency of seed_seq::generate will + be a big issue. If it is, the user is free to repack the seed vector + before constructing seed_seq. +

        +
      • +
      • +

        +A user can pass an array of 64-bit integers and all the bits will be + used. +

        +

        + Response: Indeed. However, there are many instances in the + n2461 + where integers are silently coerced to a narrower width and this + should just be a case of the user needing to read the documentation. + The user can of course get equivalent behavior by repacking his seed + into 32-bit pieces. Furthermore, the unportability of the + n2461 + proposal with +

        +
        unsigned long s[] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
        +seed_seq q(s, s+4);
        +
        +

        + which typically results in v = {1, 2, 3, 4} on 32-bit machines and in +v = {1, 0, 2, 0, 3, 0, 4, 0} on 64-bit machines is a major pitfall for + unsuspecting users. +

        +

      +Multi-threading is a good thing, but unsolicited multi-threading can +potentially be harmful. For example, sort() performance might be +greatly increased via a multithreaded implementation. However, such +a multithreaded implementation could result in concurrent invocations +of the user-supplied comparator.

      Discussion:

      +

      + In Table 56 (Traits requirements) the not_eof() member function + is using an argument of type e which denotes an object of + type X::int_type. However, the specializations in + 21.2.3 [char.traits.specializations] all use char_type. + This would effectively mean that the argument type actually can't + represent EOF in the first place. I'm pretty sure that the type used + to be int_type which is quite obviously the only sensible + argument. +

      +

      + This issue is close to being editorial. I suspect that the proposal + changing this section to include the specializations for char16_t + and char32_t accidentally used the wrong type. +

      + + +

      Proposed resolution:

      +

      + In 21.2.3.1 [char.traits.specializations.char], + 21.2.3.2 [char.traits.specializations.char16_t], + 21.2.3.3 [char.traits.specializations.char32_t], and + [char.traits.specializations.wchar_t] correct the + argument type from char_type to int_type. +

      832. Applying constexpr to System error support

      Discussion:

      +

      +Initialization of objects of class error_code +(19.5.2 [syserr.errcode]) and class +error_condition (19.5.3 [syserr.errcondition]) can be made simpler and more reliable by use of +the new constexpr feature +[N2349] +of C++0x. Less code will need to be +generated for both library implementations and user programs when +manipulating constant objects of these types. +

      + +

      +This was not proposed originally because the constant expressions +proposal was moving into the standard at about the same time as the +Diagnostics Enhancements proposal +[N2241], +and it wasn't desirable to +make the later depend on the former. There were also technical concerns +as to how constexpr would apply to references. Those concerns are now +resolved; constexpr can't be used for references, and that fact is +reflected in the proposed resolution. +

      + +

      +Thanks to Jens Maurer, Gabriel Dos Reis, and Bjarne Stroustrup for clarification of constexpr requirements. +

      + +

      +LWG issue 804 is related in that it raises the question of whether the +exposition only member cat_ of class error_code (19.5.2 [syserr.errcode]) and class +error_condition (19.5.3 [syserr.errcondition]) should be presented as a reference or pointer. +While in the context of 804 that is arguably an editorial question, +presenting it as a pointer becomes more or less required with this +proposal, given constexpr does not play well with references. The +proposed resolution thus changes the private member to a pointer, which +also brings it in sync with real implementations. +

      [ +Pre-San Francisco: +]

      + + +
      +

      +Beman Dawes reports that this proposal is unimplementable, and thus NAD. +

      +

      +Implementation would require constexpr objects of classes derived +from class error_category, which has virtual functions, and that is +not allowed by the core language. This was determined when trying to +implement the proposal using a constexpr enabled compiler provided +by Gabriel Dos Reis, and subsequently verified in discussions with +Gabriel and Jens Maurer. +

      + +
      + + +

      Proposed resolution:

      +

      +The proposed wording assumes the LWG 805 proposed wording has been +applied to the WP, resulting in the former posix_category being renamed +generic_category. If 805 has not been applied, the names in this +proposal must be adjusted accordingly. +

      + +
      +
      extern const error_category&* const get_generic_category();

      + +

      +Remarks: The object's default_error_condition and equivalent virtual +functions shall behave as specified for the class error_category. The +object's name virtual function shall return a pointer to the string +"GENERIC". +

      + +
      extern const error_category&* const get_system_category();
      +
      + +

      +Returns: A reference system_category shall point +to an a statically +initialized object of a type derived from class error_category. +

      + +

      +Remarks: The object's equivalent virtual functions shall behave as +specified for class error_category. The object's name virtual function +shall return a pointer to the string "system". The object's +default_error_condition virtual function shall behave as follows: +

      + +

      +If the argument ev corresponds to a POSIX errno value posv, the function +shall return error_condition(posv, generic_category). Otherwise, the +function shall return error_condition(ev, system_category). What +constitutes correspondence for any given operating system is +unspecified. [Note: The number of potential system error codes is large +and unbounded, and some may not correspond to any POSIX errno value. +Thus implementations are given latitude in determining correspondence. +-- end note] +

      Discussion:

      +

      +Splice is a very useful feature of list. This functionality is also very +useful for any other node based container, and I frequently wish it were +available for maps and sets. It seems like an omission that these +containers lack this capability. Although the complexity for a splice is +the same as for an insert, the actual time can be much less since the +objects need not be reallocated and copied. When the element objects are +heavy and the compare operations are fast (say a map<int, huge_thingy>) +this can be a big win. +

      + +

      +Suggested resolution: +

      + +

      +Add the following signatures to map, set, multimap, multiset, and the unordered associative containers: +

      +void splice(list<T,Allocator>&& x);
      +void splice(list<T,Allocator>&& x, const_iterator i);
      +void splice(list<T,Allocator>&& x, const_iterator first, const_iterator last);
      +
      + +

      +Hint versions of these are also useful to the extent hint is useful. +(I'm looking for guidance about whether hints are in fact useful.) +

      + +
       
      +void splice(const_iterator position, list<T,Allocator>&& x);

      + +In cstdint.syn Header <cstdint> synopsis, C++ on the other hand, fixes the value of N to 8, 16, 32, and 64, and specifies only types with these exact widths. -

      -

      -

      +

      +

      +

      + +In addition, paragraph 1 of the same section makes use of a rather +informal shorthand notation to specify sets of macros. When +interpreted strictly, the notation specifies macros such +as INT_8_MIN that are not intended to be specified. + +

      + +Finally, the section is missing the usual table of symbols defined +in that header, making it inconsistent with the rest of the +specification. + +

      + +

      Proposed resolution:

      +

      + +I propose to use the same approach in the C++ spec as C99 uses, that +is, to specify the header synopsis in terms of "exposition only" types +that make use of the symbol N to denote one or +more of a theoretically unbounded set of widths. + +

      +

      + +Further, I propose to add a new table to section listing the symbols +defined in the header using a more formal notation that avoids +introducing inconsistencies. + +

      +

      + +To this effect, in cstdint.syn +Header <cstdint> synopsis, replace both the +synopsis and paragraph 1 with the following text: + +

      +
      +

      +

        +
      1. + +In the names defined in the <cstdint> header, the +symbol N represents a positive decimal integer +with no leading zeros (e.g., 8 or 24, but not 0, 04, or 048). With the +exception of exact-width types, macros and types for values +of N in the set of 8, 16, 32, and 64 are +required. Exact-width types, and any macros and types for values +of N other than 8, 16, 32, and 64 are +optional. However, if an implementation provides integer types with +widths of 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits, the corresponding exact-width types +and macros are required. + +

      849. missing type traits to compute root class and derived class of types in a class hierachy

      Discussion:

      +

      +The type traits library contains various traits to dealt with +polymorphic types, e.g. std::has_virtual_destructor, std::is_polymorphic +and std::is_base_of. However, there is no way to compute the unique +public base class of a type if such one exists. Such a trait could be +very useful if one needs to instantiate a specialization made for the +root class whenever a derived class is passed as parameter. For example, +imagine that you wanted to specialize std::hash for a class +hierarchy---instead of specializing each class, you could specialize the +std::hash<root_class> and provide a partial specialization that worked +for all derived classes. +

      + +

      +This ability---to specify operations in terms of their equivalent in the +root class---can be done with e.g. normal functions, but there is, +AFAIK, no way to do it for class templates. Being able to access +compile-time information about the type-hierachy can be very powerful, +and I therefore also suggest traits that computes the directly derived +class whenever that is possible. +

      + +

      +If the computation can not be done, the traits should fall back on an +identity transformation. I expect this gives the best overall usability. +

      + + +

      Proposed resolution:

      +

      +Add the following to the synopsis in 20.6.2 [meta.type.synop] under "other transformations": +

      + +
      template< class T > struct direct_base_class;
      +template< class T > struct direct_derived_class;
      +template< class T > struct root_base_class;
      +

      855. capacity() and reserve() for deque?

      +

      Section: 23.3.2.2 [deque.capacity] Status: NAD + Submitter: Hervé Brönnimann Opened: 2008-06-11 Last modified: 2008-09-22

      +

      View all other issues in [deque.capacity].

      +

      View all issues with NAD status.

      +

      Discussion:

      +

      +The main point is that capacity can be viewed as a mechanism to +guarantee the validity of iterators when only push_back/pop_back +operations are used. For vector, this goes with reallocation. For +deque, this is a bit more subtle: capacity() of a deque may shrink, +whereas that of vector doesn't. In a circular buffer impl. of the +map, as Howard did, there is very similar notion of capacity: as long +as size() is less than B * (total size of the map - 2), it is +guaranteed that no iterator is invalidated after any number of +push_front/back and pop_front/back operations. But this does not +hold for other implementations. +

      +

      +Still, I believe, capacity() can be defined by size() + how many +push_front/back minus pop_front/back that can be performed before +terators are invalidated. In a classical impl., capacity() = size() ++ the min distance to either "physical" end of the deque (i.e., +counting the empty space in the last block plus all the blocks until +the end of the map of block pointers). In Howard's circular buffer +impl., capacity() = B * (total size of the map - 2) still works with +this definition, even though the guarantee could be made stronger. +

      +

      +A simple picture of a deque: +

      +
      A-----|----|-----|---F+|++++|++B--|-----|-----Z
      +
      +

      +(A,Z mark the beginning/end, | the block boundaries, F=front, B=back, +and - are uninitialized, + are initialized) +In that picture: capacity = size() + min(dist(A,F),dist(B,Z)) = min +(dist(A,B),dist(F,Z)). +

      +

      +Reserve(n) can grow the map of pointers and add possibly a number of +empty blocks to it, in order to guarantee that the next n-size() +push_back/push_front operations will not invalidate iterators, and +also will not allocate (i.e. cannot throw). The second guarantee is +not essential and can be left as a QoI. I know well enough existing +implementations of deque (sgi/stl, roguewave, stlport, and +dinkumware) to know that either can be implemented with no change to +the existing class layout and code, and only a few modifications if +blocks are pre-allocated (instead of always allocating a new block, +check if the next entry in the map of block pointers is not zero). +

      +

      +Due to the difference with vector, wording is crucial. Here's a +proposed wording to make things concrete; I tried to be reasonably +careful but please double-check me: +

      + +

      [ +San Francisco: +]

      + + +
      +

      +Hans: should the Returns clause for capacity read "1 Returns: A lower +bound..." rather than "1 Returns: An upper bound..." +

      +

      +Howard: maybe what's needed is capacity_front and capacity_back. In +fact, I think I implemented a deque that had these members as +implementation details. +

      +
      + + + +

      Proposed resolution:

      + +

      +Add new signatures to synopsis in 23.3.2 [deque]: +

      + +
      size_type capacity() const;
      +bool reserve(size_type n);
      +
      + +

      +Add new signatures to 23.3.2.2 [deque.capacity]: +

      + +
      +
      size_type capacity() const;
      +
      +
      +

      +1 Returns: An upper bound on n + max(n_f - m_f, n_b - m_b) such +that, for any sequence of n_f push_front, m_f pop_front, n_b +push_back, and m_b pop_back operations, interleaved in any order, +starting with the current deque of size n, the deque does not +invalidate any of its iterators except to the erased elements. +

      +

      +2 Remarks: Unlike a vector's capacity, the capacity of a deque can +decrease after a sequence of insertions at both ends, even if none of +the operations caused the deque to invalidate any of its iterators +except to the erased elements. +

      +
      +
      + +
      +
      bool reserve(size_type n);
      +
      +
      +

      +2 Effects: A directive that informs a deque of a planned sequence of +push_front, pop_front, push_back, and pop_back operations, so that it +can manage iterator invalidation accordingly. After reserve(), +capacity() is greater or equal to the argument of reserve if this +operation returns true; and equal to the previous value of capacity() +otherwise. If an exception is thrown, there are no effects. +

      +

      +3 Returns: true if iterators are invalidated as a result of this +operation, and false otherwise. +

      +

      +4 Complexity: It does not change the size of the sequence and takes +at most linear time in n. +

      +

      +5 Throws: length_error if n > max_size(). +

      +

      +6 Remarks: It is guaranteed that no invalidation takes place during a +sequence of insert or erase operations at either end that happens +after a call to reserve() except to the erased elements, until the +time when an insertion would make max(n_f-m_f, n_b-m_b) larger than +capacity(), where n_f is the number of push_front, m_f of pop_front, +n_b of push_back, and m_b of pop_back operations since the call to +reserve(). +

      +

      +7 An implementation is free to pre-allocate buffers so as to +offer the additional guarantee that no exception will be thrown +during such a sequence other than by the element constructors. +

      +
      +
      + +

      +And 23.3.2.3 [deque.modifiers] para 1, can be enhanced: +

      + +
      +1 Effects: An insertion in the middle of the deque invalidates all the iterators and references to elements of the +deque. An insertion at either end of the deque invalidates all the iterators to the deque, +unless provisions have been made with reserve, +but has no effect on the validity of references to elements of the deque. +
      + + +

      Rationale:

      +Complication outweighs the benefit. + + + + + +

      + + +
      +Suggest NAD. The complexity of empty ranges is -1 in other places in the +standard. See 25.5.4 [alg.merge] merge and +inplace_merge, and forward_list merge, for example. +The time and effort to find and fix all places in the standard where +empty range[s] result in negative complexity isn't worth the very +limited benefit. +

      Discussion:

      +

      + Neither the term "signed integral type" nor the term "unsigned + integral type" is defined in the core language section of the + standard, therefore the library section should avoid its use. The + terms signed integer type and unsigned integer type are + indeed defined (in 3.9.1 [basic.fundamental]), thus the usages should be + replaced accordingly. +

      + +

      + Note that the key issue here is that "signed" + "integral type" != + "signed integral type". + + The types bool, char, char16_t, + char32_t and wchar_t are all listed as + integral types, but are neither of signed integer type or + unsigned integer type. According to 3.9 [basic.types] p7, a synonym for + integral type is integer type. + + Given this, one may choose to assume that an integral type that + can represent values less than zero is a signed integral type. + Unfortunately this can cause ambiguities. + + As an example, if T is unsigned char, the + expression make_signed<T>::type, is supposed to + name a signed integral type. There are potentially two types that + satisfy this requirement, namely signed char and + char (assuming CHAR_MIN < 0). +

      [ +Post Summit Daniel adds: +]

      + + +
      +The proposed resolution needs to be "conceptualized". Currently we have +in 14.10.4 [concept.support] only concept IntegralType +for all "integral types", thus indeed the current Container +concept and Iterator concepts are sufficiently satisfied with "integral +types". If the changes are applied, we might ask core for concept +BilateralIntegerType and add proper restrictions to the library +concepts. +
      + + + +

      Proposed resolution:

      +

      + I propose to use the terms "signed integer type" and "unsigned integer + type" in place of "signed integral type" and "unsigned integral type" + to eliminate such ambiguities. +

      + +

      + The proposed change makes it absolutely clear that the difference + between two pointers cannot be char or wchar_t, + but could be any of the signed integer types. + 5.7 [expr.add] paragraph 6... +

      +
      +

      +

        +
      1. + When two pointers to elements of the same array object are + subtracted, the result is the difference of the subscripts of + the two array elements. The type of the result is an + implementation-defined signed integral + typesigned integer type; this type shall be the + same type that is defined as std::ptrdiff_t in the + <cstdint> header (18.1)... +
      2. +
      + +
      + +

      + The proposed change makes it clear that X::size_type and + X::difference_type cannot be char or + wchar_t, but could be one of the signed or unsigned integer + types as appropriate. + X [allocator.requirements] table 40... +

      X::difference_type + signed integral type + signed integer type + a type that can represent the difference between any two + pointers in the allocation model.
      +
      + +

      + The proposed change makes it clear that make_signed<T>::type + must be one of the signed integer types as defined in 3.9.1. Ditto for + make_unsigned<T>type and unsigned integer types. + 20.6.6.3 [meta.trans.sign] table 48... +

      + 24.2 [iterator.concepts] paragraph 1... +

      +
      + Iterators are a generalization of pointers that allow a C++ program to + work with different data structures (containers) in a uniform manner. + To be able to construct template algorithms that work correctly and + efficiently on different types of data structures, the library + formalizes not just the interfaces but also the semantics and + complexity assumptions of iterators. All input iterators + i support the expression *i, resulting in a + value of some class, enumeration, or built-in type T, + called the value type of the iterator. All output iterators + support the expression *i = o where o is a + value of some type that is in the set of types that are + writable to the particular iterator type of i. All + iterators i for which the expression (*i).m + is well-defined, support the expression i->m with the + same semantics as (*i).m. For every iterator type + X for which equality is defined, there is a corresponding + signed integral type signed integer type called + the difference type of the iterator. +
      + +

      + I'm a little unsure of this change. Previously this paragraph would + allow instantiations of linear_congruential_engine on + char, wchar_t, bool, and other types. The + new wording prohibits this. + 26.5.3.1 [rand.eng.lcong] paragraph 2... +

      +
      + The template parameter UIntType shall denote an + unsigned integral typeunsigned integer type + large enough to store values as large as m - 1. If the + template parameter m is 0, the modulus m + used throughout this section 26.4.3.1 is + numeric_limits<result_type>::max() plus 1. [Note: + The result need not be representable as a value of type + result_type. --end note] Otherwise, the following + relations shall hold: a < m and c < + m. +
      + +

      + Same rationale as the previous change. + X [rand.adapt.xor] paragraph 6... +

      +
      + Both Engine1::result_type and + Engine2::result_type shall denote (possibly different) + unsigned integral typesunsigned integer types. + The member result_type shall denote either the type + Engine1::result_type or the type Engine2::result_type, + whichever provides the most storage according to clause 3.9.1. +
      + +

      + 26.5.7.1 [rand.util.seedseq] paragraph 7... +

      +
      + Requires:RandomAccessIterator shall meet the + requirements of a random access iterator (24.1.5) such that + iterator_traits<RandomAccessIterator>::value_type + shall denote an unsigned integral typeunsigned integer + type capable of accomodating 32-bit quantities. +
      + +

      + By making this change, integral types that happen to have a signed + representation, but are not signed integer types, would no longer be + required to use a two's complement representation. This may go against + the original intent, and should be reviewed. + 29.6 [atomics.types.operations] paragraph 24... +

      +
      + Remark: For signed integral typessigned integer + types, arithmetic is defined using two's complement + representation. There are no undefined results. For address types, the + result may be an undefined address, but the operations otherwise have + no undefined behavior. +

      Discussion:

      +

      + +Recent changes to +the working +draft have introduced a gratuitous inconsistency with the C++ 2003 +version of the specification with respect to exception guarantees +provided by standard functions. While the C++ 2003 standard +consistenly uses the empty exception specification, throw(), +to declare functions that are guaranteed not to throw exceptions, the +current working draft contains a number of "Throws: Nothing." +clause to specify essentially the same requirement. The difference +between the two approaches is that the former specifies the behavior +of programs that violate the requirement (std::unexpected() +is called) while the latter leaves the behavior undefined. + +

      +

      + +A survey of the working draft reveals that there are a total of 209 +occurrences of throw() in the library portion of the spec, +the majority in clause 18, a couple (literally) in 19, a handful in +20, a bunch in 22, four in 24, one in 27, and about a dozen in D.9. + +

      +

      + +There are also 203 occurrences of "Throws: Nothing." scattered +throughout the spec. + +

      +

      + +While sometimes there are good reasons to use the "Throws: +Nothing." approach rather than making use of throw(), these +reasons do not apply in most of the cases where this new clause has +been introduced and the empty exception specification would be a +better approach. + +

      +

      + +First, functions declared with the empty exception specification +permit compilers to generate better code for calls to such +functions. In some cases, the compiler might even be able to eliminate +whole chunks of user-written code when instantiating a generic +template on a type whose operations invoked from the template +specialization are known not to throw. The prototypical example are +the std::uninitialized_copy() +and std::uninitialized_fill() algorithms where the +entire catch(...) block can be optimized away. + +

      +

      + +For example, given the following definition of +the std::uninitialized_copy function template and a +user-defined type SomeType: + +

      +
      +

      +
      +struct SomeType {
      +   SomeType (const SomeType&) throw ();
      +}
      +
      +

      + +compilers are able to emit the following efficient specialization +of std::uninitialized_copy<const SomeType*, SomeType*> +(note that the catch block has been optimized away): + +

      +
      +
      template <> SomeType*
      +uninitialized_copy (const SomeType *first, const SomeType *last, SomeType *res)
      +{
      +   for (; first != last; ++first, ++res)
      +       ::new (res) SomeType (*first);
      +
      +   return res;
      +}
      +
      +

      + +Another general example is default constructors which, when decorated +with throw(), allow the compiler to eliminate the +implicit try and catch blocks that it otherwise must +emit around each the invocation of the constructor +in new-expressions. + +

      +

      + +For example, given the following definitions of +class MayThrow and WontThrow and the two +statements below: + +

      +
      +
      struct MayThrow {
      +   MayThrow ();
      +};
      +
      +struct WontThrow {
      +   WontThrow () throw ();
      +};
      +
      +MayThrow  *a = new MayThrow [N];
      +WontThrow *b = new WontThrow [N];
      + +
      +

      + +the compiler generates the following code for the first statement: + +

      +
      +
      MayThrow *a;
      +{
      +   MayThrow *first = operator new[] (N * sizeof (*a));
      +   MayThrow *last  = first + N;
      +   MayThrow *next  = first;
      +   try {
      +       for ( ; next != last; ++next)
      +           new (next) MayThrow;
      +   }
      +   catch (...) {
      +       for ( ; first != first; --next)
      +           next->~MayThrow ();
      +       operator delete[] (first);
      +       throw;
      +   }
      +   a = first;
      +}
      +
      +

      + +but it is can generate much more compact code for the second statement: + +

      +
      +
      WontThrow *b    = operator new[] (N * sizeof (*b));
      +WontThrow *last = b + N;
      +for (WontThrow *next = b; next != last; ++next)
      +   new (next) WontThrow;
      +
      +
      +

      + +Second, in order for users to get the maximum benefit out of the new +std::has_nothrow_xxx traits when using standard library types +it will be important for implementations to decorate all non throwing +copy constructors and assignment operators with throw(). Note +that while an optimizer may be able to tell whether a function without +an explicit exception specification can throw or not based on its +definition, it can only do so when it can see the source code of the +definition. When it can't it must assume that the function may +throw. To prevent violating the One Definition Rule, +the std::has_nothrow_xxx trait must return the most +pessimistic guess across all translation units in the program, meaning +that std::has_nothrow_xxx<T>::value must evaluate to +false for any T whose xxx +(where xxx is default or copy ctor, or assignment operator) +is defined out-of-line. + +

      +

      + +Counterarguments: + +

      +

      + +During the discussion of this issue +on c++std-lib@accu.org +(starting with post c++std-lib-21950) the following arguments +in favor of the "Throws: Nothing." style have been made. + +

      +

      +

        +
      1. + +Decorating functions that cannot throw with the empty exception +specification can cause the compiler to generate suboptimal code for +the implementation of the function when it calls other functions that +aren't known to the compiler not to throw (i.e., that aren't decorated +with throw() even if they don't actually throw). This is a +common situation when the called function is a C or POSIX function. + +
      2. +
      3. + +Alternate, proprietary mechanisms exist (such as +GCC __attribute__((nothrow)) +or Visual +C++ __declspec(nothrow)) +that let implementers mark up non-throwing functions, often without +the penalty mentioned in (1) above. The C++ standard shouldn't +preclude the use of these potentially more efficient mechanisms. + +
      4. +
      5. + +There are functions, especially function templates, that invoke +user-defined functions that may or may not be +declared throw(). Declaring such functions with the empty +exception specification will cause compilers to generate suboptimal +code when the user-defined function isn't also declared not to throw. + +
      6. +
      + +

      + +The answer to point (1) above is that implementers can (and some have) +declare functions with throw() to indicate to the compiler +that calls to the function can safely be assumed not to throw in order +to allow it to generate efficient code at the call site without also +having to define the functions the same way and causing the compiler +to generate suboptimal code for the function definition. That is, the +function is declared with throw() in a header but it's +defined without it in the source file. The throw() +declaration is suppressed when compiling the definition to avoid +compiler errors. This technique, while strictly speaking no permitted +by the language, is safe and has been employed in practice. For +example, the GNU C library takes this approach. Microsoft Visual C++ +takes a similar approach by simply assuming that no function with C +language linkage can throw an exception unless it's explicitly +declared to do so using the language extension throw(...). + +

      +

      + +Our answer to point (2) above is that there is no existing practice +where C++ Standard Library implementers have opted to make use of the +proprietary mechanisms to declare functions that don't throw. The +language provides a mechanism specifically designed for this +purpose. Avoiding its use in the specification itself in favor of +proprietary mechanisms defeats the purpose of the feature. In +addition, making use of the empty exception specification +inconsistently, in some areas of the standard, while conspicuously +avoiding it and making use of the "Throws: Nothing." form in +others is confusing to users. + +

      +

      + +The answer to point (3) is simply to exercise caution when declaring +functions and especially function templates with the empty exception +specification. Functions that required not to throw but that may call +back into user code are poor candidates for the empty exception +specification and should instead be specified using "Throws: +Nothing." clause. + +

      Proposed resolution:

      +

      + +We propose two possible solutions. Our recommendation is to adopt +Option 1 below. + +

      +

      + +Option 1: + +

      +

      + +Except for functions or function templates that make calls back to +user-defined functions that may not be declared throw() +replace all occurrences of the "Throws: Nothing." clause with +the empty exception specification. Functions that are required not to +throw but that make calls back to user code should be specified to +"Throw: Nothing." + +

      +

      + +Option 2: + +

      +

      + +For consistency, replace all occurrences of the empty exception +specification with a "Throws: Nothing." clause. + +

      +
      + +

      +Is this behaviour correct (I believe it is) and if so, is it +unavoidable, or not worth worrying about? +

      + +

      +This calls the lvalue/rvalue swap overload for shared_ptr: +

      + +
      template<class T> void swap( shared_ptr<T> & a, shared_ptr<T> && b );
      +
      + +

      +silently converting the second argument from shared_ptr<B> to +shared_ptr<A> and binding the rvalue ref to the produced temporary. +

      + +

      +This is not, in my opinion, a shared_ptr problem; it is a general issue +with the rvalue swap overloads. Do we want to prevent this code from +compiling? If so, how? +

      + +

      +Perhaps we should limit rvalue args to swap to those types that would +benefit from the "swap trick". Or, since we now have shrink_to_fit(), just +eliminate the rvalue swap overloads altogether. The original motivation +was: +

      + +
      vector<A> v = ...;

      Discussion:

      +

      +I was looking at the latest draft on forward_list. Especially the splice methods. +

      +

      +The first one splices a whole list after a given iterator in this. The name is splice_after. +I think in 23.3.3.5 [forwardlist.ops] paragraph 40 +change: +

      +
      +Effect: Insert the contents of x before after position, ... +
      + +

      +A deeper issue involves the complexity. forward_list has no size and we +don't know when we've reached the end except to walk up to it. To +splice we would need to hook the end of the source list to the item +after position in this list. This would involve walking length of the +source list until we got to the last dereference-able element in source. +There's no way we could do this in O(1) unless we stored a bogus end in +forward_list. +

      +

      +OTOH, the last version of splice_after with iterator ranges we could do +in O(1) because we know how to hook the end of the source range to ... +

      +

      +Unless I'm misconceiving the whole thing. Which is possible. I'll look at it again. +

      +The requires clause on the const T & overloads in +back_insert_iterator/front_insert_iterator/insert_iterator mean that the +assignment operator will implicitly move from lvalues of a move-only type. +

      1. +Add another overload with a negative constraint on copy-constructible +and flag it "= delete". +

      + +

      +numeric_limits has functions specifically designed to return NaNs, which +break the model of Regular (via its axioms.) While floating point types +will be acceptible in many algorithms taking Regular values, it is not +appopriate for this specific API and we need a less refined constraint. +

      + +

      FR 32:

      + +
      +The definition of numeric_limits<> as requiring a regular +type is both conceptually wrong and operationally illogical. As we +pointed before, this mistake needs to be corrected. For example, the +template can be left unconstrained. In fact this reflects a much more +general problem with concept_maps/axioms and their interpretations. It +appears that the current text heavily leans toward experimental academic +type theory. +
      + +

      DE 16:

      + +
      +The class template numeric_limits should not specify the Regular concept +requirement for its template parameter, because it contains functions +returning NaN values for floating-point types; these values violate the +semantics of EqualityComparable. +

      +A few questions on the current WP, +N2723: +

      +

      +30.4.1 [thread.mutex.requirements]/24 says an expression +mut.unlock() "Throws: Nothing." I'm assuming that, per 17.6.3.11 [res.on.required], errors that violate the precondition "The +calling thread shall own the mutex" opens the door for throwing an +exception anyway, such as to report unbalanced unlock operations and +unlocking from a thread that does not have ownership. Right? +

      +

      +30.4.1.1 [thread.mutex.class]/3 (actually numbered paragraph "27" +in the WP; this is just a typo I think) says +

      +

      +The behavior of a program is undefined if: +

      +
        +
      • it destroys a mutex object owned by any thread,

      +

      + +
      +An object of type initializer_list<E> provides access to an array of +objects of type const E.[..] +
      + +

      +Therefore, E needs to fulfill concept ValueType (thus excluding +abstract class types). This stricter requirement should be added +to prevent deep instantiation errors known from the bad old times, +as shown in the following example: +

      + +
      // Header A: (Should concept-check even in stand-alone modus)
      +
      +template <DefaultConstructible T>
      +requires MoveConstructible<T>
      +void generate_and_do_3(T a) {
      +  std::initializer_list<T> list{T(), std::move(a), T()};
      +  ...
      +}
      +
      +void do_more();
      +void do_more_or_less();
      +
      +template <DefaultConstructible T>
      +requires MoveConstructible<T>
      +void more_generate_3() {
      +  do_more();
      +  generate_and_do_3(T());
      +}
      +
      +template <DefaultConstructible T>
      +requires MoveConstructible<T>
      +void something_and_generate_3() {
      +  do_more_or_less();
      +  more_generate_3();
      +}
      +
      +// Test.cpp
      +
      +#include "A.h"
      +
      +class Abstract {
      +public:
      +  virtual ~Abstract();
      +  virtual void foo() = 0; // abstract type
      +  Abstract(Abstract&&){} // MoveConstructible
      +  Abstract(){} // DefaultConstructible
      +};
      +
      +int main() {
      +  // The restricted template *accepts* the argument, but
      +  // causes a deep instantiation error in the internal function
      +  // generate_and_do_3:
      +  something_and_generate_3<Abstract>();
      +}
      +
      + +

      +The proposed stricter constraint does not minimize the aim to +support more general containers for which ObjectType would be +sufficient. If such an extended container (lets assume it's still a +class template) provides a constructor that accepts an initializer_list +only this constructor would need to be restricted on ValueType: +

      + +
      template<ObjectType T>
      +class ExtContainer {
      +public:
      +  requires ValueType<T>
      +  ExtContainer(std::initializer_list<T>);

      + +
      +

      +The types in the table "Atomics for standard typedef types" should be +typedefs, not classes. These semantics are necessary for compatibility +with C. +

      + +

      +Change the classes to typedefs. +

      +
      + +

      +N2427 +specified different requirements for atomic analogs of fundamental +integer types (such as atomic_int) and for atomic analogs of <cstdint> +typedefs (such as atomic_size_t). Specifically, atomic_int et al. were +specified to be distinct classes, whereas atomic_size_t et al. were +specified to be typedefs. Unfortunately, in applying +N2427 +to the WD, that distinction was erased, and the atomic analog of every <cstdint> +typedef is required to be a distinct class. +

      + +

      +It shouldn't be required that the atomic analog of every <cstdint> +typedef be a typedef for some fundamental integer type. After all, +<cstdint> is supposed to provide standard names for extended integer +types. So there was a problem in +N2427, +which certainly could have been +interpreted to require that. But the status quo in the WD is even worse, +because it's unambiguously wrong. +

      + +

      +What is needed are words to require the existence of a bunch of type +names, without specifying whether they are class names or typedef names. +

      Discussion:

      +

      +The assignment and equality operators = and == are easily confused, just +because of their visual similarity, and in this case a simple typo can cause +a serious bug. When the left side of an operator= is an rvalue, it's +highly unlikely that the assignment was intended by the programmer: +

      +
      if ( func() = value )  // Typical typo: == intended!
      +
      +

      +Built-in types don't support assignment to an rvalue, but unfortunately, +a lot of types provided by the Standard Library do. +

      +

      +Fortunately the language now offers a syntax to prevent a certain member +function from having an rvalue as *this: by adding a ref-qualifier (&) +to the member function declaration. Assignment operators are explicitly +mentioned as a use case of ref-qualifiers, in "Extending Move Semantics +To *this (Revision 1)", +N1821 by Daveed +Vandevoorde and Bronek Kozicki +

      +

      +Hereby I would like to propose adding ref-qualifiers to all appropriate +assignment operators in the library. +

      Discussion:

      + + + +

      +I'm looking at 29 [atomics] and can't really make sense of a couple of things. +

      +

      +Firstly, there appears to be a typo in the <cstdatomic> synopsis: +

      + +
      +

      +The atomic_exchange overload taking an atomic_address +is missing the second parameter: +

      + +
      void* atomic_exchange(volatile atomic_address*);
      +
      + +

      +should be +

      + +
      void* atomic_exchange(volatile atomic_address*, void*);
      +
      + +

      +Note, that this is not covered by 880 "Missing atomic exchange parameter", +which only talks about the atomic_bool. +

      +
      + + + +

      Proposed resolution:

      +

      +Change the synopsis in 29 [atomics]/2: +

      + +
      void* atomic_exchange(volatile atomic_address*, void*);

      +Previous versions of the Draft had a table, defining the Assignable +requirement. For example +N2134 +Table 79, "Assignable requirements".

[Note: +The uses of auto_ptr include providing temporary +exception-safety for dynamically allocated memory, passing ownership of +dynamically allocated memory to a function, and returning dynamically +allocated memory from a function. +auto_ptr does not meet the +CopyConstructible and Assignable requirements for +standard library container elements and thus instantiating a standard +library container with an auto_ptr results in undefined +behavior. + +Instances of auto_ptr shall +meet the MoveConstructible and MoveAssignable +requirements, but do not meet the CopyConstructible and +CopyAssignable requirements. +-- end note] +

      +POSIX 2008 adds two return values for pthread_mutex_xxxlock(): +EOWNERDEAD (owner_dead) and ENOTRECOVERABLE +(state_not_recoverable). In the first case the mutex is locked, +in the second case the mutex is not locked. +

      + +

      +Throwing an exception in the first case can be incompatible with the use +of Locks, since the Lock::owns_lock() will be false when the lock is +being destroyed. +

      + +

      +Consider: +

      + +
      //Suppose mutex.lock() throws "owner_dead"

      +//mutex left locked if "owner_dead" is thrown
      +
      + +

      +Throwing an exception with owner_dead might be also undesirable if +robust-mutex support is added to C++ and the user has the equivalent of +pthread_mutex_consistent() to notify the user has fixed the corrupted +data and the mutex state should be marked consistent. +

      +adjacent_find in C++03 allows an arbitrary predicate, but in C++0x +EqualityComparable/EquivalenceRelation is required. This forbids a +number of use cases, including: +

      +
      + + + + + + + + + +
      +adjacent_find(begin, end, less<double>) + +Find the first +place where a range is not ordered in decreasing order - in use to check +for sorted ranges. +
      +adjacent_find(begin, end, DistanceBiggerThan(6) ) ) + +Find the first +place in a range where values differ by more than a given value - in use +to check an algorithm which produces points in space does not generate +points too far apart. +
      +
      + +

      +A number of books use predicate which are not equivalence relations in +examples, including "Thinking in C++" and "C++ Primer". +

      + +

      +Adding the requirement that the predicate is an EquivalenceRelation +does not appear to open up any possibility for a more optimised algorithm. +

      + + + +

      Proposed resolution:

      +

      +Change the definition of adjacent_find in the synopsis of 25 [algorithms] +and 25.3.8 [alg.adjacent.find] to: +

      + +
      template<ForwardIterator Iter> 
      +  requires EqualityComparableHasEqualTo<Iter::value_type, Iter::value_type>
      +  Iter adjacent_find(Iter first, Iter last);

      + +

      +Related to 1063. +

      + +

      +This is effectively an extension of LWG issue 343. +

      +

      +We know there is an increasing trend (encouraged by conformance testers and +some users) that each library header should supply no more than required to +satisfy the synopsis in the standard. This is typically achieved by +breaking larger headers into smaller subsets, and judicious use of forward +declarations. +

      +

      +If we apply this policy to C++0x (per +N2800) +it will be very surprising for +people using library algorithms over ranges defined by pointers that they +must #include <iterator_concepts> for their code to compile again. That is +because pointers do not satisfy any of the iterator concepts without the +concept_map supplied in this header. +

      +

      +Therefore, I suggest we should require all library headers that make use of +iterator concepts are specifically required to #include <iterator_concepts>. +

      +

      +At a minimum, the list of headers would be: (assuming all are constrained by +concepts) +

      +
      algorithm
      +array
      +deque
      +forward_list
      +initializer_list
      +iterator
      +locale
      +list
      +map
      +memory          // if 1029 is adopted
      +memory_concepts
      +numeric
      +random
      +regex
      +set
      +string
      +tuple
      +unordered_map
      +unordered_set
      +utility
      +vector
      +
      + +

      [ +Ganesh adds: +]

      + + +
      +

      +The same problems exists for <memory_concepts> and +<container_concepts>. +

      +

      +In order to compile <vector> you just need the +definitions of the concepts in <memory_concepts>, the +concept maps defined there are not necessary. Yet, from the user point +of view, if the concept map template for AllocatableElement are +not in scope, <vector> is pretty useless. Same for +<tuple> and ConstructibleWithAllocator. +

      +

      +Similarly, <queue> is not very useful if the concept map +template for QueueLikeContainer is not in scope, although the +definition of concept alone is theoretically sufficient. +

      +

      +There's a pattern here: if a concept has concept maps "attached", they +should never be separated. +

      + + +
      + +

      Initially I tried to specify exactly what header should include what other +headers. This was verbose, error prone, hard to maintain, and appeared to add +little value compared to just stating the general rule.

      [ +Batavia (2009-05): +]

      +Pete believes the proposed wording overconstrains implementers. +Instead of specifying the mechanism, +he prefers a solution that spells out what needs to be declared, +rather than how those declarations are to be provided, +e.g., +

      +
      +A C++ header shall provide the names +that are required to be defined in that header. +
      +

      +Bill suggests approaching the wording from a programmer's perspective. +We may want to consider promising that certain widely-used headers +(e.g., the concept headers) are included when needed by other headers. +He feels, however, there is nothing broken now, +although we may want to consider "something nicer." +

      1. +The initial iterator passed by value is expected to remain valid, +pointing to the initialized region of memory. +
      2. +

      +The RandomNumberEngineAdaptor concept breaks precedent in the +way the library has been specified by grouping requirements into a +concept that is never actually used in the library. +

      +

      +This is undoubtedly a very helpful device for documentation, but we are not +comfortable with the precedent - especially as we have rejected national +body comments on the same grounds. +

      +

      +Suggest either removing the concept, or providing an algorithm/type that +requires this concept in their definition (such as a factory function to +create new engines). +

      +The preference is to create a single new algorithm and retain the value of +the existing documentation. +

      1059. Usage of no longer existing FunctionType concept

      +

      Discussion:

      +

      +Due to a deliberate core language decision, the earlier called +"foundation" concept std::FunctionType had been removed in +N2773 +shortly +before the first "conceptualized" version of the WP +(N2798) +had been +prepared. This caused a break of the library, which already used this +concept in the adapted definition of std::function +(20.7 [function.objects]/2, header <functional> synopsis and +20.7.16.2 [func.wrap.func]). +

      +

      +A simple fix would be to either (a) make std::function's primary template +unconstrained or to (b) add constraints based on existing (support) concepts. +A more advanced fix would (c) introduce a new library concept. +

      +

      +The big disadvantage of (a) is, that users can define templates which +cause compiler errors during instantiation time because of under-constrainedness +and would thus violate the basic advantage of constrained +code. +

      +

      +For (b), the ideal constraints for std::function's template parameter would +be one which excludes everything else but the single provided partial +specialization that matches every "free function" type (i.e. any function +type w/o cv-qualifier-seq and w/o ref-qualifier). +Expressing such a type as as single requirement would be written as +

      +
      template<typename T>
      +requires ReferentType<T> // Eliminate cv void and function types with cv-qual-seq
      +                         //   or ref-qual (depending on core issue #749)
      +      && PointeeType<T>  // Eliminate reference types
      +      && !ObjectType<T>  // Eliminate object types
      +
      +

      +Just for completeness approach (c), which would make sense, if the +library has more reasons to constrain for free function types: +

      +
      auto concept FreeFunctionType<typename T>
      +  : ReferentType<T>, PointeeType<T>, MemberPointeeType<T>
      +{
      +  requires !ObjectType<T>;
      +}
      +
      +

      +I mention that approach because I expect that free function types belong +to the most natural type categories for every days coders. Potential +candidates in the library are addressof and class template packaged_task. +

      + +

      [ +Batavia (2009-05): +]

      + +
      +

      +Alisdair would prefer to have a core-supported FunctionType concept +in order that any future changes be automatically correct +without need for a library solution to catch up; +he points to type traits as a precedent. +Further, he believes that a published concept can't in the future +be changed. +

      +

      +Bill feels this category of entity would change sufficiently slowly +that he would be willing to take the risk. +

      +

      +Of the discussed solutions, we tend toward option (c). +We like the idea of having a complete taxonomy of native types, +and perhaps erred in trimming the set. +

      +

      +We would like to have this issue reviewed by Core and would like +their feedback. Move to Open. +

      Discussion:

      + +

      +One of the motivating examples for introducing requirements-aliases was to +simplify the wording of the inner_product requirements. As the paper +adopting the feature and constrained wording for the library went through in +the same meeting, it was not possible to make the change at the time. The +simpler form should be adopted now though. Similarly, most the other +numerical algorithms can benefit from a minor cleanup. +

      +

      +Note that in each case, the second more generalised form of the algorithm +does not benefit, as there are already named constraints supplied by the +template type parameters. +

      + +

      [ +2009-05-02 Daniel adds: +]

      + + +
      +

      +one part of the suggested resolution suggests the removal of the +MoveConstructible<T> requirement from +inner_product. According to 26.7.2 [inner.product] +

      + +
      +Computes its result by initializing the accumulator acc with the +initial value init +
      + +

      +this step requires at least MoveConstructible. +

      + +

      +Therefore I strongly suggest to take this removal back (Note also +that the corresponding overload with a functor argument still has +the same MoveConstructible<T> requirement). +

      -

      -The type traits library contains various traits to dealt with -polymorphic types, e.g. std::has_virtual_destructor, std::is_polymorphic -and std::is_base_of. However, there is no way to compute the unique -public base class of a type if such one exists. Such a trait could be -very useful if one needs to instantiate a specialization made for the -root class whenever a derived class is passed as parameter. For example, -imagine that you wanted to specialize std::hash for a class -hierarchy---instead of specializing each class, you could specialize the -std::hash<root_class> and provide a partial specialization that worked -for all derived classes. -

      -This ability---to specify operations in terms of their equivalent in the -root class---can be done with e.g. normal functions, but there is, -AFAIK, no way to do it for class templates. Being able to access -compile-time information about the type-hierachy can be very powerful, -and I therefore also suggest traits that computes the directly derived -class whenever that is possible. +p7 Allocator-related element concepts 20.8.3 [allocator.element.concepts]

      -If the computation can not be done, the traits should fall back on an -identity transformation. I expect this gives the best overall usability. +The changes to the AllocatableElement concept mean this concept_map +specialization no longer matches the original concept:

      +
      template <Allocator Alloc, class T, class ... Args>
      +  requires HasConstructor<T, Args...>
      +    concept_map AllocatableElement<Alloc, T, Args&&...> {
      +      void construct_element(Alloc& a, T* t, Args&&... args) {
      +        Alloc::rebind<T>(a).construct(t, forward(args)...);
      +      }
      +    }

      +Actually, this is incorrect, +N2840 +says.

      Discussion:

      -The main point is that capacity can be viewed as a mechanism to -guarantee the validity of iterators when only push_back/pop_back -operations are used. For vector, this goes with reallocation. For -deque, this is a bit more subtle: capacity() of a deque may shrink, -whereas that of vector doesn't. In a circular buffer impl. of the -map, as Howard did, there is very similar notion of capacity: as long -as size() is less than B * (total size of the map - 2), it is -guaranteed that no iterator is invalidated after any number of -push_front/back and pop_front/back operations. But this does not -hold for other implementations. +Class template tuple 20.5.2 [tuple.tuple]:

      + +
      template <class... UTypes>
      +  requires Constructible<Types, const UTypes&>...
      +template <class... UTypes>
      +  requires Constructible<Types, RvalueOf<UTypes>::type>...
      +
      +

      -Still, I believe, capacity() can be defined by size() + how many -push_front/back minus pop_front/back that can be performed before -terators are invalidated. In a classical impl., capacity() = size() -+ the min distance to either "physical" end of the deque (i.e., -counting the empty space in the last block plus all the blocks until -the end of the map of block pointers). In Howard's circular buffer -impl., capacity() = B * (total size of the map - 2) still works with -this definition, even though the guarantee could be made stronger. +Somebody needs to look at this and say what it should be.

      +

      -Reserve(n) can grow the map of pointers and add possibly a number of -empty blocks to it, in order to guarantee that the next n-size() -push_back/push_front operations will not invalidate iterators, and -also will not allocate (i.e. cannot throw). The second guarantee is -not essential and can be left as a QoI. I know well enough existing -implementations of deque (sgi/stl, roguewave, stlport, and -dinkumware) to know that either can be implemented with no change to -the existing class layout and code, and only a few modifications if -blocks are pre-allocated (instead of always allocating a new block, -check if the next entry in the map of block pointers is not zero). +DE-17:

      -Due to the difference with vector, wording is crucial. Here's a -proposed wording to make things concrete; I tried to be reasonably -careful but please double-check me: +The class type_index should be removed; it provides no additional +functionality beyond providing appropriate concept maps.

      [ -San Francisco: +2009-03-31 Peter adds: ]

      -Hans: should the Returns clause for capacity read "1 Returns: A lower -bound..." rather than "1 Returns: An upper bound..." +It is not true, in principle, that std::type_index provides no utility +compared to bare std::type_info*.

      -Howard: maybe what's needed is capacity_front and capacity_back. In -fact, I think I implemented a deque that had these members as -implementation details. +std::type_index can avoid the lifetime issues with type_info when the +DLL that has produced the type_info object is unloaded. A raw +type_info* does not, and cannot, provide any protection in this case. +A type_index can (if the implementor so chooses) because it can wrap a +smart (counted or even cloning) pointer to the type_info data that is +needed for name() and before() to work.

      Discussion:

      -1 Returns: An upper bound on n + max(n_f - m_f, n_b - m_b) such -that, for any sequence of n_f push_front, m_f pop_front, n_b -push_back, and m_b pop_back operations, interleaved in any order, -starting with the current deque of size n, the deque does not -invalidate any of its iterators except to the erased elements. +Astonishingly, the current concept ArithmeticLike as specified in +20.2.13 [concept.arithmetic] does not provide explicit conversion +to bool although this is a common property of arithmetic types +(4.12 [conv.bool]). Recent proposals that introduced such types +(integers of arbitrary precision, +n2143, +decimals +n2732 +indirectly +via conversion to long long) also took care of such a feature.

      -2 Remarks: Unlike a vector's capacity, the capacity of a deque can -decrease after a sequence of insertions at both ends, even if none of -the operations caused the deque to invalidate any of its iterators -except to the erased elements. +Adding such an explicit conversion associated function would also +partly solve a currently invalid effects clause in library, which bases +on this property, 24.2.6 [random.access.iterators]/2:

      -
      -
      +
      { difference_type m = n;
      + if (m >= 0) while (m--) ++r;
      + else while (m++) --r;
      + return r; }
      +
      -
      -
      bool reserve(size_type n);
      -
      -

      -2 Effects: A directive that informs a deque of a planned sequence of -push_front, pop_front, push_back, and pop_back operations, so that it -can manage iterator invalidation accordingly. After reserve(), -capacity() is greater or equal to the argument of reserve if this -operation returns true; and equal to the previous value of capacity() -otherwise. If an exception is thrown, there are no effects. +Both while-loops take advantage of a contextual conversion to bool +(Another problem is that the >= comparison uses the no +longer supported existing implicit conversion from int to IntegralLike).

      + +Original proposed resolution: +
        +
      1. -3 Returns: true if iterators are invalidated as a result of this -operation, and false otherwise. +In 20.2.13 [concept.arithmetic], add to the list of less refined +concepts one further concept:

        concept ArithmeticLike<typename T>
        +  : Regular<T>, LessThanComparable<T>, HasUnaryPlus<T>, HasNegate<T>,

The user upgrades to a +range-enabled version of a library, and now lib_algo( xyz.begin(), xyz.end()); +no longer works -- compiler error.

        +

        +Even though XYZCorpContainer matches the pre-conceptized version of the +algorithm, and has been working for years, it appears the user has to write +at least this: +

        +concept_map Range<XYZCorpContainer<T>> {
        +   typedef T* iterator;

    Discussion:

    -A few questions on the current WP, -N2723: +A recent news group +article +points to several defects in the +specification of reference-related concepts.

    -30.4.1 [thread.mutex.requirements]/24 says an expression -mut.unlock() "Throws: Nothing." I'm assuming that, per 17.6.3.11 [res.on.required], errors that violate the precondition "The -calling thread shall own the mutex" opens the door for throwing an -exception anyway, such as to report unbalanced unlock operations and -unlocking from a thread that does not have ownership. Right? +One problem of the concept RvalueOf as currently defined in +20.2.1 [concept.transform]:

    + +
    concept RvalueOf<typename T> {
    + typename type = T&&;
    + requires ExplicitlyConvertible<T&,type> && Convertible<T&&,type>;
    +}
    +
    +template<typename T> concept_map RvalueOf<T&> {
    + typedef T&& type;
    +}
    +
    +

    -30.4.1.1 [thread.mutex.class]/3 (actually numbered paragraph "27" -in the WP; this is just a typo I think) says +is that if T is an lvalue-reference, the requirement +Convertible<T&&,type> isn't satisfied for +lvalue-references, because after reference-collapsing in the concept +definition we have Convertible<T&,type> in this case, +which isn't satisfied in the concept map template and also is not the +right constraint either. I think that the reporter is right that +SameType requirements should do the job and that we also should +use the new RvalueReference concept to specify a best matching +type requirement.

    -Two resolutions: "not a defect" and "duplicate", as follows: +The <iterator> header synopsis declares a partial specialization of +iterator_traits to support pointers, 24.3 [iterator.syn].

      +However, this is not as bad as it first seems! +There are partial specializations of iterator_traits for types that satisfy +the various Iterator concepts, and there are concept_maps for pointers to +explicitly support the RandomAccessIterator concept, so the required +template will be present - just not in the manner advertised. +

      +

      +I can see two obvious solutions: +

      + +
      1. -30.4.1.1 [thread.mutex.class]/3 bullet 2: Already addressed by issue 893. +Restore the iterator_traits<T*> partial specialization in D.10
      2. -30.4.1.1 [thread.mutex.class]/3 proposed addition: NAD. This is -already covered by the mutex requirements, which have ownership as a -Precondition. +Remove the declaration of iterator_traits<T*> from 24.3 synopsis
      3. -
    -
    + +

    +I recommend option (ii) in the wording below +

    +

    +Option (ii) could be extended to strike all the declarations of deprecated +material from the synopsis, as it is effectively duplicating D.10 anyway. +This is the approach taken for deprecated library components in the 98/03 +standards.

    -N2427 -specified different requirements for atomic analogs of fundamental -integer types (such as atomic_int) and for atomic analogs of <cstdint> -typedefs (such as atomic_size_t). Specifically, atomic_int et al. were -specified to be distinct classes, whereas atomic_size_t et al. were -specified to be typedefs. Unfortunately, in applying -N2427 -to the WD, that distinction was erased, and the atomic analog of every <cstdint> -typedef is required to be a distinct class. -

    -

    -It shouldn't be required that the atomic analog of every <cstdint> -typedef be a typedef for some fundamental integer type. After all, -<cstdint> is supposed to provide standard names for extended integer -types. So there was a problem in -N2427, -which certainly could have been -interpreted to require that. But the status quo in the WD is even worse, -because it's unambiguously wrong. -

    -Firstly, there appears to be a typo in the <cstdatomic> synopsis: +In 26.5.2.2 [rand.concept.urng], we have the following:

    axiom NonemptyRange()  {

    Discussion:

    -

    -POSIX 2008 adds two return values for pthread_mutex_xxxlock(): -EOWNERDEAD (owner_dead) and ENOTRECOVERABLE -(state_not_recoverable). In the first case the mutex is locked, -in the second case the mutex is not locked. -

    - -

    -Throwing an exception in the first case can be incompatible with the use -of Locks, since the Lock::owns_lock() will be false when the lock is -being destroyed. -

    -

    -Consider: -

    +

    Addresses UK 341

    -
    //Suppose mutex.lock() throws "owner_dead"
    -unique_lock ul(&mutex);
    -//mutex left locked if "owner_dead" is thrown
    -
    +

    Description

    +

    promise::swap accepts its parameter by lvalue reference. This is +inconsistent with other types that provide a swap member function, +where those swap functions accept an rvalue reference

    -

    -Throwing an exception with owner_dead might be also undesirable if -robust-mutex support is added to C++ and the user has the equivalent of -pthread_mutex_consistent() to notify the user has fixed the corrupted -data and the mutex state should be marked consistent. -

    +

    Suggestion

    +

    Change promise::swap to take an rvalue reference.

    -Add to 30.4.1 [thread.mutex.requirements], p12: +LessThanComparable requires (and provides default + implementations for) <=,>, and >=. However, the defaults + don't take effect in unconstrained code.

    - -

    --12- Error conditions: +Still, it's a problem to have types acting one way in +constrained code and another in unconstrained code, except in cases of +syntax adaptation. It's also inconsistent with the containers, which +supply all those operators. +

    +

    +Totally Unbiased +Suggested Resolution: +

    +

    +accept the exported concept maps proposal and + change the way this stuff is handled to use an + explicit exported concept map rather than nested + function templates +

    +

    +e.g., remove from the body of std::list +

    +
    template <LessThanComparable T, class Allocator> 
    +bool operator< (const list<T,Allocator>& x, const list<T,Allocator>& y); 
    +template <LessThanComparable T, class Allocator> 
    +bool operator> (const list<T,Allocator>& x, const list<T,Allocator>& y); 
    +template <LessThanComparable T, class Allocator> 
    +bool operator>=(const list<T,Allocator>& x, const list<T,Allocator>& y); 
    +template <LessThanComparable T, class Allocator> 
    +bool operator<=(const list<T,Allocator>& x, const list<T,Allocator>& y); 
    +
    +

    +and add this concept_map afterwards: +

    +
    template <LessThanComparable T, class Allocator> 
    +export concept_map LessThanComparable<list<T,Allocator> >
    +{
    +    bool operator<(const list<T,Allocator>& x, const list<T,Allocator>& y);
    +}
    +
    +

    +do similarly for std::pair. While you're at it, do the same for +operator== and != everywhere, and seek out other such opportunities. +

    +

    +Alternative Resolution: keep the ugly, complex specification and add the + missing operators to std::pair.

    Discussion:

    +

    +A reference_wrapper can be constructed from an rvalue, either by using +the constructor, or via cref (and ref in some corner cases). This leads +to a dangling reference being stored into the reference_wrapper object. +Now that we have a mechanism to detect an rvalue, we can fix them to +disallow this source of undefined behavior. +

    + +

    +Also please see the thread starting at c++std-lib-17398 for some good discussion on this subject. +

    + + +
    +

    +Now that ref/cref are constained that T must be an ObjectType, I do not +believe there is any risk of binding ref to a temporary (which would rely on +deducing T to be an rvalue reference type) +

    +

    +However, the problem for cref remains, so I recommend retaining that deleted +overload. +

    +

    +Without: +

    + +
    template <class T> void ref(const T&& t) = delete;

    +I believe this program will compile: +

    + +
    #include <functional>
    +
    +struct A {};
    +
    +const A source() {return A();}
    +
    +int main()
    +{
    +   std::reference_wrapper<const A> r = std::ref(source());
    +}
    +
    +

    +I.e. in: +

    +
    template <ObjectType T> reference_wrapper<T> ref(T& t);
    +
    + +

    +this: +

    +deduces T as const A, and so: +

    + +
    ref(const A& t)
    +
    + +

    +will bind to a temporary (tested with a pre-concepts rvalue-ref enabled compiler). +

    +

    +Therefore I think we still need the ref-protection. I respectfully disagree with Alisdair's +comment and am in favor of the proposed wording as it stands. Also, CWG 606 +(noted below) has now been "favorably" resolved. +

      Discussion:

      +

      + +Issue 278 +defines the meaning of the term "invalid iterator" as one that may be +singular. + +

      +

      + +Consider the following code: + +

      +
         std::deque<int> x, y;
      +   std::deque<int>::iterator i = x.end(), j = y.end();
      +   x.swap(y);
      +       
      +

      + +Given that swap() is required not to invalidate iterators +and using the definition above, what should be the expected result of +comparing i and j to x.end() +and y.end(), respectively, after the swap()? + +

      +

      + +I.e., is the expression below required to evaluate +to true? + +

      +
         i == y.end() && j == x.end()
      +       
      +

      + +(There are at least two implementations where the expression +returns false.) + +

      +

      + +More generally, is the definition introduced in issue 278 meant to +make any guarantees about whether iterators actually point to the same +elements or be associated with the same containers after a +non-invalidating operation as they did before? + +

      +

      + +Here's a motivating example intended to demonstrate the importance of +the question: + +

      +
         Container x, y ({ 1, 2});   // pseudocode to initialize y with { 1, 2 }
      +   Container::iterator i = y.begin() + 1;
      +   Container::iterator j = y.end();
      +   std::swap(x, y);
      +   std::find(i, j, 3);
      +       
      +

      + +swap() guarantees that i and j +continue to be valid. Unless the spec says that even though they are +valid they may no longer denote a valid range the code above must be +well-defined. Expert opinions on this differ as does the behavior of +popular implementations for some standard Containers. + +

      -N2588 seems to have added an operator() member function to the -identity<> helper in 20.3.2 [forward]. I believe this change makes it no -longer possible to instantiate identity<void>, as it would require -forming a reference-to-void type as this operator()'s parameter type. -

      Discussion:

      +

      +The static const error_category objects generic_category and +system_category in header <system_error> are currently declared: +

      + +
      const error_category& get_generic_category();
      +const error_category& get_system_category();
      +
      +static const error_category& generic_category = get_generic_category();
      +static const error_category& system_category = get_system_category();
      +
      + +

      +This formulation has several problems: +

      + +
        +
      • +Implementation details are exposed, since initialization is specified in +the interface. This over-constrains implementations without offsetting +user benefits. The form of initialization specified may be less than +maximally efficient on some platforms. +
      • +
      • +Use of the objects is more expensive in terms of number of machine level +instructions. See Implementation experience below. +
      • +
      • +Depending on the compiler, some cost may be incurred by each translation unit +that includes the header, even if the objects are not used. This is a +common scenario in user code, since the header is included by other +standard library headers. It should be mentioned that at least one +compilers is able to optimize this cost away, however. +
      • +
      + +

      +IO streams uses a somewhat different formulation for iostream_category, but +still suffer much the same problems. +

      + +

      +The original plan was to eliminate these problems by applying the C++0x +constexpr feature. See LWG issue 832. However, that approach turned out +to be unimplementable, since it would require a constexpr object of a +class with virtual functions, and that is not allowed by the core +language. +

      + +

      +The proposed resolution was developed as an alternative. It mitigates the above +problems by removing initialization from the visible interface, allowing +implementations flexibility. +

      + +

      +Implementation experience: +

      + +

      +Prototype implementations of the current WP interface and proposed +resolution interface were tested with recent Codegear, GCC, Intel, and Microsoft +compilers on Windows. The code generated by the Microsoft compiler was studied +at length; the WP and proposal versions generated very similar code. For both versions +the compiler did make use of static +initialization; apparently the compiler applied an implicit constexpr +where useful, even in cases where constexpr would not be permitted by +the language! +

      Discussion:

      +The WP and TR1 have the same text regarding the argument types of a +result_of expression: +

      +
      +The values ti are lvalues when the corresponding type Ti is a +reference type, and rvalues otherwise. +
      +

      +I read this to mean that this compiles: +

      typedef int (*func)(int&);
      +result_of<func(int&&)>::type i = 0;

      +
      int f(int&);
      +f( std::move(0) );
      +
      +

      +Should the text be updated to say "when Ti is an lvalue-reference +type" or am I missing something? +

      +

      +I later came up with this self-contained example which won't compile, +but I think it should: +

      struct X {

      +

      +The current standard 14882::2003(E) as well as the current draft +N2723 +have in common a contradiction of the operational semantics +of member function test 20.3.6.2 [bitset.members]/56-58 and the immutable +member operator[] overload 20.3.6.2 [bitset.members]/64-66 (all references +are defined in terms of +N2723): +

      + +
        +
      1. bool test(size_t pos) const;
        +
        +
        +

        +Requires: pos is valid +

        +

        +Throws: out_of_range if pos does not correspond +to a valid bit position. +

        +

        +Returns: true if the bit at position pos in *this +has the value one. +

        +
        +
      2. +
      3. constexpr bool operator[](size_t pos) const;
        +
        +
        +

        +Requires: pos shall be valid. +

        +

        +Throws: nothing. +

        +

        +Returns: test(pos). +

        +
        +
      4. +
      + +

      +Three interpretations: +

      + +
        +
      1. +The operator[] overload is indeed allowed to throw an exception +(via test(), if pos corresponds to an invalid bit position) which does +not leave the call frame. In this case this function cannot be a +constexpr function, because test() is not, due to +5.19 [expr.const]/2, last bullet. +
      2. +
      3. +The intend was not to throw an exception in test in case of an +invalid bit position. There is only little evidence for this interpretation. +
      4. +
      5. +The intend was that operator[] should not throw any exception, +but that test has the contract to do so, if the provided bit position +is invalid. +
      6. +
      + +

      +The problem became worse, because issue 720 +recently voted into WP argued that member test logically must be +a constexpr function, because it was used to define the semantics +of another constexpr function (the operator[] overload). +

      + +

      +Three alternatives are proposed, corresponding to the three bullets +(A), (B), and (C), the author suggests to follow proposal (C). +

      + + +Proposed alternatives: + + +
        +
      1. +

        +Remove the constexpr specifier in front of operator[] overload and +undo that of member test (assuming 720 is accepted) in both the +class declaration 20.3.6 [template.bitset]/1 and in the member description +before 20.3.6.2 [bitset.members]/56 and before /64 to read: +

        +

        +..
        +constexpr bool operator[](size_t pos) const;
        +
        + +

        +Change the throws clause of p. 65 to read: +

        + +
        +Throws: nothing +out_of_range if pos does not correspond to a valid bit +position. +
        +
      2. +
      3. +

        +Replace the throws clause p. 57 to read: +

        + +
        +Throws: out_of_range if pos does not correspond to a valid bit +position nothing. +
        +
      4. +
      5. +

        +Undo the addition of the constexpr specifier to the test member +function in both class declaration 20.3.6 [template.bitset]/1 and in the +member description before 20.3.6.2 [bitset.members]/56, assuming that 720 +was applied. +

        + +
        constexpr bool test(size_t pos) const;

      +

      +Construction of a regex_token_iterator (28.12.2 [re.tokiter]/6+) usually +requires the provision of a sequence of integer values, which +can currently be done via a std::vector<int> or +a C array of int. Since the introduction of initializer_list in the +standard it seems much more reasonable to provide a +corresponding constructor that accepts an initializer_list<int> +instead. This could be done as a pure addition or one could +even consider replacement. The author suggests the +replacement strategy (A), but provides an alternative additive +proposal (B) as a fall-back, because of the handiness of this +range type: +

      925. shared_ptr's explicit conversion from unique_ptr

      Discussion:

      +

      +The current working draft +(N2798), +section 20.8.10.2.1 [util.smartptr.shared.const] declares +shared_ptr's constructor that takes a rvalue reference to unique_ptr and +auto_ptr as being explicit, affecting several valid smart pointer use +cases that would take advantage of this conversion being implicit, for +example: +

      + +
      class A;
      +std::unique_ptr<A> create();
      +void process(std::shared_ptr<A> obj);
      +
      +int main()
      +{
      +   process(create());                  // use case #1
      +   std::unique_ptr<A> uobj = create();
      +   process(std::move(uobj));           // use case #2
      +   return 0;
      +}
      +
      + +

      +If unique_ptr to shared_ptr conversions are explicit, the above lines +should be written: +

      + +
      process(std::shared_ptr<A>(create()));        // use case #1
      +process(std::shared_ptr<A>(std::move(uobj))); // use case #2
      +
      + +

      +The extra cast required doesn't seems to give any benefits to the user, +nor protects him of any unintended conversions, this being the raison +d'etre of explicit constructors. +

      + +

      +It seems that this constructor was made explicit to mimic the conversion +from auto_ptr in pre-rvalue reference days, which accepts both lvalue and +rvalue references. Although this decision was valid back then, C++0x +allows the user to express in a clear and non verbose manner when he wants +move semantics to be employed, be it implicitly (use case 1) or explicitly +(use case 2). +

      +Firstly it isn't clear from the wording if I is 0-based or 1-based +("the I'th dimension" sort of implies 1-based). From the following +example it is clear that the intent is 0-based, in which case it +should say "or if it has rank less than or equal to I". +

      Discussion:

      +

      +N2800, +20.4.2 [ratio.arithmetic] lacks a paragraph from the proposal +N2661: +

      + +
      +

      ratio arithmetic [ratio.arithmetic]

      + +

      +... If the implementation is unable to form the indicated ratio due to +overflow, a diagnostic shall be issued. +

      +
      + +

      +The lack of a diagnostic on compile-time overflow is a significant lack of +functionality. This paragraph could be put back into the WP simply editorially. +However in forming this issue I realized that we can do better than that. This +paragraph should also allow alternative formulations which go to extra lengths +to avoid overflow when possible. I.e. we should not mandate overflow when the +implementation can avoid it. +

      + +

      +For example: +

      + +
      +
      template <class R1, class R2> struct ratio_multiply {
      +  typedef see below} type; 
      +
      + +
      +The nested typedef type shall be a synonym for ratio<T1, T2> where +T1 has the value R1::num * R2::num and T2 has the +value R1::den * R2::den. +
      + +
      + +

      +Consider the case where intmax_t is a 64 bit 2's complement signed integer, +and we have: +

      + +
      typedef std::ratio<0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFF0> R1;
      +typedef std::ratio<8, 7> R2;
      +typedef std::ratio_multiply<R1, R2>::type RT;
      +
      + +

      +According to the present formulation the implementaiton will multiply +0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF * 8 which will result in an overflow and subsequently +require a diagnostic. +

      + +

      +However if the implementation is first allowed to divde 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF +by 7 obtaining 0x1249249249249249 / 1 and divide +8 by 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFF0 obtaining 1 / 0x0FFFFFFFFFFFFFFE, +then the exact result can then be computed without overflow: +

      + +
      [0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF/0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFF0] * [8/7] = [0x1249249249249249/0x0FFFFFFFFFFFFFFE]
      +
      + +

      +Example implmentation which accomplishes this: +

      + +
      template <class R1, class R2>
      +struct ratio_multiply
      +{
      +private:
      +    typedef ratio<R1::num, R2::den> _R3;
      +    typedef ratio<R2::num, R1::den> _R4;
      +public:
      +    typedef ratio<__ll_mul<_R3::num, _R4::num>::value,
      +                  __ll_mul<_R3::den, _R4::den>::value> type;
      +};
      +
      + +

      + + + + +

      Proposed resolution:

      +

      +Add a paragraph prior to p1 in 20.4.2 [ratio.arithmetic]: +

      + +
      +Implementations may use other algorithms to compute the indicated ratios to avoid overflow. +If overflow occurs, a diagnostic shall be issued. +

      986. Generic try_lock contradiction

      +

      Section: 30.4.4 [thread.lock.algorithm] Status: WP + Submitter: Chris Fairles Opened: 2009-02-14 Last modified: 2009-07-18

      +

      Discussion:

      +

      +In 30.4.4 [thread.lock.algorithm], the generic try_lock effects (p2) say that a failed +try_lock is when it either returns false or throws an exception. In +the event a call to try_lock does fail, by either returning false or +throwing an exception, it states that unlock shall be called for all +prior arguments. Then the returns clause (p3) goes on to state +in a note that after returning, either all locks are locked or none +will be. So what happens if multiple locks fail on try_lock? +

      + +

      +Example: +

      + +
      #include <mutex>
      +
      +int main() {
      + std::mutex m0, m1, m2;
      + std::unique_lock<std::mutex> l0(m0, std::defer_lock);
      + std::unique_lock<std::mutex> l1(m1); //throws on try_lock
      + std::unique_lock<std::mutex> l2(m2); //throws on try_lock
      +
      + int result = std::try_lock(l0, l1, l2);
      +
      + assert( !l0.owns_lock() );
      + assert( l1.owns_lock() ); //??
      + assert( l2.owns_lock() ); //??
      +}
      +
      + +

      +The first lock's try_lock succeeded but, being a prior argument to a +lock whose try_lock failed, it gets unlocked as per the effects clause +of 30.4.4 [thread.lock.algorithm]. However, 2 locks remain locked in this case but the return +clause states that either all arguments shall be locked or none will +be. This seems to be a contradiction unless the intent is for +implementations to make an effort to unlock not only prior arguments, +but the one that failed and those that come after as well. Shouldn't +the note only apply to the arguments that were successfully locked? +

      + +

      + +
      void reset(T* newptr = 0) {

Otherwise get_deleter()(get()). +Assigns p to the stored pointer, and then if the old value of the pointer is not +equal to nullptr, calls get_deleter()(the old value of the pointer). +[Note: The order of these operations is significant because the call to get_deleter() +may destroy *this. -- end note] +

      +

      +The synopsis in 20.7.16.2 [func.wrap.func] says: +

      + +
      template<Returnable R, CopyConstructible... ArgTypes> 
      +class function<R(ArgTypes...)>
      +{
      +    ...

      +            && Convertible<Callable<F, ArgTypes...>::result_type, R> 
      +      function(F); 
      +    template<class F> 
      +      requires CopyConstructible<F> && Callable<F, ArgTypes...> 
      +            && Convertible<Callable<F, ArgTypes...>::result_type, R> 
      +      function(F&&);
      +    ...
      +    template<class F, Allocator Alloc> function(allocator_arg_t, const Alloc&, F); 
      +    template<class F, Allocator Alloc> function(allocator_arg_t, const Alloc&, F&&);
      +    ...
      +    template<class F> 
      +      requires CopyConstructible<F> && Callable<F, ArgTypes..> 
      +            && Convertible<Callable<F, ArgTypes...>::result_type 
      +      function& operator=(F); 
      +    template<class F> 
      +      requires CopyConstructible<F> && Callable<F, ArgTypes...> 
      +            && Convertible<Callable<F, ArgTypes...>::result_type, R> 
      +      function& operator=(F&&);
      +    ...
      +};
      +
      + +

      +Each of the 3 pairs above are ambiguous. We need only one of each pair, and we +could do it with either one. If we choose the F&& version we +need to bring decay into the definition to get the pass-by-value behavior. +In the proposed wording I've gotten lazy and just used the pass-by-value signature. +

      1103. system_error constructor postcondition overly strict

      Discussion:

      +

      +19.5.5.2 [syserr.syserr.members] says: +

      + +
      system_error(error_code ec, const string& what_arg);
      +
      +
      +

      +Effects: Constructs an object of class system_error. +

      +

      +Postconditions: code() == ec and strcmp(runtime_error::what(), what_arg.c_str()) == 0. +

      +
      +
      + +

      +However the intent is for: +

      + +
      std::system_error se(std::errc::not_a_directory, "In FooBar");
      +...
      +se.what();  // returns something along the lines of:
      +            //   "In FooBar: Not a directory"
      +
      + +

      +The way the constructor postconditions are set up now, to achieve both +conformance, and the desired intent in the what() string, the +system_error constructor must store "In FooBar" in the base class, +and then form the desired output each time what() is called. Or +alternatively, store "In FooBar" in the base class, and store the desired +what() string in the derived system_error, and override +what() to return the string in the derived part. +

      + +

      +Both of the above implementations seem suboptimal to me. In one I'm computing +a new string every time what() is called. And since what() +can't propagate exceptions, the client may get a different string on different +calls. +

      + +

      +The second solution requires storing two strings instead of one. +

      + +

      +What I would like to be able to do is form the desired what() string +once in the system_error constructor, and store that in the +base class. Now I'm: +

      + +
        +
      1. Computing the desired what() only once.
      2. +
      3. The base class what() definition is sufficient and nothrow.
      4. +
      5. I'm not storing multiple strings.
      6. +
      + +

      +This is smaller code, smaller data, and faster. +

      + +

      +ios_base::failure has the same issue. +
