I'm talking about reading the actual code and having that code being self-documenting wrt. the size of the segment.
Current practice is, that one is agnostic about what's actually happening (the segment size is an implementation detail). The policy should be defaulted to the current practice. If one wants more control, one *does* need to read the docs and understand what things mean, yes, that's true. No free lunch and such. There are thougher nuts to crack learning (modern) C++, I would think. de::batch_deque<int, de::bytes_per_segment<512>> does (due to possible alignment issues) still not give you the number of elements and the other way around de::batch_deque<int, de::elements_per_segment<512>> does not give you the segment size, for the same reason. It could be easily integrated in boost::container::deque without breaking anything. degski -- "*Ihre sogenannte Religion wirkt bloß wie ein Opiat reizend, betäubend, Schmerzen aus Schwäche stillend.*" - Novalis 1798
