as an example, std::copy does not need to know the size of the output sequence nor need to know how to grow it (one can for example use back_inserter for automatic growth). Couldn't xint use a similar strategy?
std::copy doesn't need to know how to grow the output sequence, but it *does* need to be passed the back_inserter, which needs to know how to grow it.
You don't have to use back_inserter with std::copy. Copying into a pre-existing buffer also works.
We were discussing why he thought the XInt algorithms didn't need to know how to grow their buffers in order to change the sizes of them. - -- Chad Nelson Oak Circle Software, Inc. * * * -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkwRHUYACgkQp9x9jeZ9/wQsqACfXnvKE5klRKqVBtYm9BJY6HlG eRMAoN4H8kUGOkAuU9Ew8yFBlax27R+n =HIOg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
