=====================================
#include
#ifndef SIZE_MAX
#define SIZE_MAX ((size_t)-1)
#endif
/*It is the 'fast' size_t (unsigned integer type of the platform) */
typedef boost::uint_value_t::fast fsize_t;
=====================================
Would the above code make any difference cross-platform? Is size_t as
fast (cross-platform) as the above typedef?
I believe that the above code converts whatever size_t is defined as
into something that is 'fast'- the easiest for the processor to
manipulate. However, what I don't know is whether size_t is already that.
Also, I noticed that boost::hash returns 'size_t' so was just wondering
why. I will be using hashes in different collections so had tried
(above) to store them using the 'fast' boost::integer form.
