Hi Roland, Thanks for your review. | > - What is your evaluation of the documentation? | | From the docs: | | "It is worth noticing that some functionality requires partial template | specialization, in particular, full array support does" | | It would be nice if the doc states in more detail *which* functions require | partial template specialization. ok, its all functions and type-gerators for T[] when T is not char or wchar_t. I guess I should just remove "some" and type "all". | "(remark: this is a very small problem since one would use boost::array<> | anyway)" | | Well, if I knew the size of the array at compile-time; which brings me to well, you always know the size of T[sz] at compile time. | What I miss is support for scoped_array<> and shared_array<>; | I guess, however, that it is difficult or even impossible to obtain the | number of elements of a shared_array<> - correct? yes. Only strings are null-terminated. | Since other Boosters already gave more elaborate feedback on the design etc., | I further focused on a special aspect of collection_traits. | | My primary interest is the boost/view library (also in the sandbox). | Since views are meant to be lightweight wrappers with a collection-like | interface, they should work together with collection_traits - and, in | fact, all views submitted so far pass this test (see attached file). | | I further noticed that one view (range_view) became obsolete, and | that other views might be easier to implement now with the help of | collection_traits. great. If you are the man in charge of the view library, I think you should contact this Tom Houlder thoulder@houlder.net . He is working on something similar. You might also want to contact John Torjo (john@torjo.com). | template<class ContainerT> | void test_container_traits_functions( ContainerT c ) | { why are you passing by value? | boost::shared_array<int> sa( new int[7] ); | //test_array_functions( sa ); // Wishful thinking. not if the smart pointer would save its size and have a .size() function. br Thorsten
