Remark on your article: did you benchmark your new design in terms of speed and size?
I did the size benchmark. Boost's istream_range<string>, which is a pair of std::istream_iterators, is 24 bytes, and the iterators are 12. My istream_range is 8 bytes, and the iterator is 4. That's with libstdc++ 4.7. The differences can be larger on a platform that uses the small-string optimization. I didn't measure performance, I admit. Non-locality is a valid concern. I have no doubt that it's possible to construct cases where one implementation is faster than the other. Lies, damn lies, and benchmarks, you know. -- Eric Niebler Boost.org http://www.boost.org
