C++ Technical Report 1 and BOOST

[Xenobiologist]

Hi,

first of all, move it to chat when you think it is misplaced here.

I recently read an article about c++ TR1 and BOOST. (German c't magazin)

Do you already use those functions in Autoit? While reading I thought that some of them could increase speed or just make things much easier to implement for you.

As example there is a new random function which offers some new possibilities to random numbers.

And there is a code example with tuple class in combination with the new buildin regex. That demonstrates a good examples how to rewrite the ini functionality. (This is still an open feature request for AutoIt) [i can post the code if you want to]

Another example is about type_traits and the decision on compile time how to copy things. (Iteration or memcopy)

And some stuff about unordered_map, functional and memory.

Did you already use or at least had a short look on C++ TR1 and BOOST?

Just curious.

Thanks!

Jon and I have both separately looked at boost. We do not use it but we do know about it. As for TR1, there's no point in using that yet because chances are we'd have to change later when C++0X support becomes official.

Thanks Valik for the quick response.

Yes, in the article there is also mentioned that TR1 is not very good at the moment. And if you think about using some functions then you should use boost in lieu of TR1.

Have a nice day!

We recently coded a couple of smart pointers similar to the boost/tr1 implementation as they looked useful. I don't think we've actually used them in anger yet though.

Oooh. I forgot about the smart pointers. I may use and/or extend them (if necessary) whenever I get around to what it is I need to get around to doing. Totally forgot you wrote those.

Saudi,

I would highly recommend that you stop these useless posts to get your post count up. Out of the 3 posts you have posted thus far, two of them I have seen be this exact wording and size. This is strictly a friendly warning.

Thanks,
