[Serialization] base_object.hpp fix
by Douglas Gregor 04 Jul '05

04 Jul '05

I've checked in the following patch, which fixes several multi_index tests on the OSL machines.

There's no need to apply rules for [writing about] Boost library names to the term "build system". Bjorn

in http://boost-consulting.com/boost/more/separate_compilation.html (wow, I didn't know we had this file!) there are many mentions of the "common names" rule in the comments (which I assume should be "common-names") but no usages of it -- instead there are many instances of common-variant. That doesn't seem quite right. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

> Tag Types: > ---------- > > The Function Type library uses tag types to represent one > more attributive > properties of a type, such as its variadicness or its calling > convention. "one more"? Did you mean "one or more"? "a type"? It might be one type per tag, but tagging can be applied to more than one type, so this should be rephrased. "variadicness"? I think you meant "variadicity". I'm not thrilled by "attributive properties" either. My discomforture with this phrase is due to its perceived redundancy. Is it common for properties to exist that attribute nothing? I propose: The Function Type library uses tag types to denote properties of types. For example, the tag tag<fastcall, variadic> may be used to denote use of the fast calling convention in combination with variadicity. > When several tags for the same property appear in the > argument list, only the last > one is used; others are ignored. > > tag<nonvariadic,variadic> // same as 'variadic' The semantics of tag<nonvariadic, variadic> should be identical to the semantics of tag<variadic, nonvariadic>. It strikes me as erroneous that this combination of denotations would not yield a compilation error. Have you a well-founded argument for this choice? I'm new to this thread; apologies if I'm rehashing something that was settled earlier. Dave Gomboc

[function_type] Tag types documentation
by Tobias Schwinger 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

Tag Types: ---------- The Function Type library uses tag types to represent one more attributive properties of a type, such as its variadicness or its calling convention. Tags that represent the values of a single property are called property tags. These tags can be used to determine whether one property of a type has a particular value. is_function< T, variadic > is_function< T, default_call > A compound property tag describes a combination of possible values of different properties. The tag class template can be used to create a specific compound property tag. tag<default_call,variadic> When several tags for the same property appear in the argument list, only the last one is used; others are ignored. tag<nonvariadic,variadic> // same as 'variadic' The following code creates the type int __fastcall (int...). function_type<mpl::vector<int,int>, tag<variadic,fastcall> >::type All properties not described by the tag acquire a default. The next example creates the type of a (variadic) function of the default calling convention int(int...). function_type<mpl::vector<int,int>, variadic >::type A compound property tag matches a type only when all of its component properties match: is_function< void __fastcall (...),tag<variadic,fastcall> >::value // is true is_function< void __stdcall (...),tag<variadic,fastcall> >::value // is false [ version with markup: http://tinyurl.com/bxvke ]
