Hi,
I did briefly skim over the docs and compare between v1 and v2. The only point I have right now is that the docs for v2 are much less motivating compared to v1. The examples provided in v1 are clear and simple. In v2 I find the syntax less clear for describing the purpose of what is trying to be achieved. This could just be a documentation issue or an issue in the new library I have not had a chance to look through it thoroughly.
Noted, thanks. Perhaps I should have focused more on the core : * For filling a container: put( cont )( a, b )( c, d, e )( f, g, h ); // Variadic form csv_put<2>( cont, a1, b1, a2, b2, a3, b3 ); // Fixed arity Based on Simonson's comments I suggested an even simpler syntax, essentially renaming csv_put<I>() to put<I>(), but for now I'll stick to what already exists. * To initialize a container: // Variadic form: C cont = converter( deque<T>( a, b )( c, d, e )( f, g, h ) ); // Fixed arity: C cont = converter( csv_deque<T, 1>( a1, b1, a2, b2, a3, b3 ) ); A similar approach follows to construct a container in place (Called explicit conversion in the tutorial). Truth is, this covers a wide span of needs, perhaps most needs. Everything else that is talked about in the tutorial might have obfuscated it, I guess, as pertaining to filling & inserting. Thanks, therefore, for you feedback. Any more questions? Reference arrays and chaining can be seen as independent from the above and were the topic of a mini-review in June. Please consider looking at those as well. Thanks.
