<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>Paragraph 1 in "Effects", says "Calls
p->release()" where it clearly must be "Calls
p.release()". (As it is, it seems to require using
auto_ptr<>::operator-> to refer to X::release, assuming that
exists.)</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>Change 20.6.4.3 [meta.unary.prop] paragraph 1 Effects from
"Calls p->release()" to "Calls p.release()".</p>

<p>Not a defect: the proposed change is already found in the standard.

<p>In Morristown we changed the size_type and difference_type typedefs
for all the other containers to implementation defined with a
reference to 23.2 [container.requirements]. This should probably also have been
done for strings. </p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>Not a defect. [Originally classified as a defect, later
reclassified.] basic_string, unlike the other standard library
template containers, is severely constrained by its use of
char_traits. Those types are dictated by the traits class, and are far
from implementation defined.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>Table 88, in I/O, is too strict; it's unimplementable on systems
where a file position isn't just an offset. It also never says just
what fpos<> is really supposed to be. [Here's my summary, which
Jerry agrees is more or less accurate. "I think I now know what
the class really is, at this point: it's a magic cookie that
encapsulates an mbstate_t and a file position (possibly represented as
an fpos_t), it has syntactic support for pointer-like arithmetic, and
implementors are required to have real, not just syntactic, support
for arithmetic." This isn't standardese, of course.] </p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>Not a defect. The LWG believes that the Standard is already clear,
and that the above summary is what the Standard in effect says.</p>

<p>Section 22.2.1.5.2 says that codecvt<>::do_in and do_out
should return the value noconv if "no conversion was
needed". However, I don't see anything anywhere that defines what
it means for a conversion to be needed or not needed. I can think of
several circumstances where one might plausibly think that a
conversion is not "needed", but I don't know which one is
intended here. </p>

<p>I couldn't find a statement in the standard saying whether the allocator object held by
a container is held as a copy of the constructor argument or whether a pointer of
reference is maintained internal. There is an according statement for compare objects and
how they are maintained by the associative containers, but I couldn't find anything
regarding allocators. </p>
<p>Did I overlook it? Is it an open issue or known defect? Or is it deliberately left
unspecified? </p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>27.6.1.2.3 has member functions for extraction of signed char and
unsigned char, both singly and as strings. However, it doesn't say
what it means to extract a <tt>char</tt> from a
<tt>basic_streambuf<charT, Traits></tt>. </p>
<p>basic_streambuf, after all, has no members to extract a char, so
basic_istream must somehow convert from charT to signed char or
unsigned char. The standard doesn't say how it is to perform that
conversion. </p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>The Standard is correct as written. There is no such extractor and
this is the intent of the LWG.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>The standard says how this member function affects the current
stream position. (<tt>gptr</tt> or <tt>pptr</tt>) However, it does not
say how this member function affects the beginning and end of the
get/put area. </p>
<p>This is an issue when seekoff is used to position the get pointer
beyond the end of the current read area. (Which is legal. This is
implicit in the definition of <i>seekhigh</i> in D.7.1, paragraph 4.)
</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>The LWG agrees that seekoff() is underspecified, but does not wish
to invest effort in this deprecated feature.</p>

a typo, however, and that what is wanted is the maximum of the
two. (As written, setw is useless for strings. If that had been the

that "we don't want valarray to be a full STL container."
26.6.2.3 [valarray.access] specifies properties that indicate "an
absence of aliasing" for non-constant arrays; this allows
optimizations, including special hardware optimizations, that are not

<p>You can easily create subsets, but you can't easily combine them
with other subsets. Unfortunately, you almost always needs an
explicit type conversion to valarray. This is because the standard
does not specify that valarray subsets provide the same operations as
valarrays. </p>
<p>For example, to multiply two subsets and assign the result to a third subset, you can't
write the following:</p>
<pre>va[slice(0,4,3)] = va[slice(1,4,3)] * va[slice(2,4,3)];</pre>
<p>Instead, you have to code as follows:</p>
<pre>va[slice(0,4,3)] = static_cast<valarray<double> >(va[slice(1,4,3)]) *
static_cast<valarray<double> >(va[slice(2,4,3)]);</pre>
<p>This is tedious and error-prone. Even worse, it costs performance because each cast
creates a temporary objects, which could be avoided without the cast. </p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>Extend all valarray subset types so that they offer all valarray operations.</p>

<p>This is not a defect in the Standard; it is a request for an extension.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>Is it a permitted extension for library implementors to add template parameters to
standard library classes, provided that those extra parameters have defaults? For example,
instead of defining <tt>template <class T, class Alloc = allocator<T> > class
vector;</tt> defining it as <tt>template <class T, class Alloc = allocator<T>,
int N = 1> class vector;</tt> </p>
<p>The standard may well already allow this (I can't think of any way that this extension
could break a conforming program, considering that users are not permitted to
forward-declare standard library components), but it ought to be explicitly permitted or
forbidden. </p>
<p>comment from Steve Cleary via comp.std.c++:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I disagree [with the proposed resolution] for the following reason:
consider user library code with template template parameters. For
example, a user library object may be templated on the type of
underlying sequence storage to use (deque/list/vector), since these
classes all take the same number and type of template parameters; this
would allow the user to determine the performance tradeoffs of the
user library object. A similar example is a user library object
templated on the type of underlying set storage (set/multiset) or map
storage (map/multimap), which would allow users to change (within
reason) the semantic meanings of operations on that object.</p>
<p>I think that additional template parameters should be forbidden in
the Standard classes. Library writers don't lose any expressive power,
and can still offer extensions because additional template parameters
may be provided by a non-Standard implementation class:</p>
<pre>
template <class T, class Allocator = allocator<T>, int N = 1>
class __vector
{ ... };
template <class T, class Allocator = allocator<T> >
class vector: public __vector<T, Allocator>
{ ... };
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>Add a new subclause [presumably 17.4.4.9] following 17.6.4.11 [res.on.exception.handling]:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>17.4.4.9 Template Parameters</p> <p>A specialization of a
template class described in the C++ Standard Library behaves the
same as if the implementation declares no additional template
parameters.</p> <p>Footnote: Additional template parameters with
default values are thus permitted.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Add "template parameters" to the list of subclauses at
the end of 17.6.4 [conforming] paragraph 1.</p>
<p><i>[Kona: The LWG agreed the standard needs clarification. After
discussion with John Spicer, it seems added template parameters can be
detected by a program using template-template parameters. A straw vote
- "should implementors be allowed to add template
parameters?" found no consensus ; 5 - yes, 7 - no.]</i></p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>
There is no ambiguity; the standard is clear as written. Library
implementors are not permitted to add template parameters to standard
library classes. This does not fall under the "as if" rule,
so it would be permitted only if the standard gave explicit license
for implementors to do this. This would require a change in the
standard.
</p>
<p>
The LWG decided against making this change, because it would break
user code involving template template parameters or specializations
of standard library class templates.

<p>Discussed at Lillehammer. General agreement that we should
deprecate vector<bool> and introduce this functionality under
a different name, e.g. bit_vector. This might make it possible to
remove the vector<bool> specialization in the standard that comes
after C++0x. There was also a suggestion that
in C++0x we could additional say that it's implementation defined
whether vector<bool> refers to the specialization or to the
primary template, but there wasn't general agreement that this was a
good idea.</p>

There is still some sentiment that deprecation is the correct way to go,

available, and hopefully will support the necessary proxy functionality

I recommend we spawn a separate issue (<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-closed.html#1184">1184</a>) requesting a dynamic length bitset

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>The order of the arguments is (elem, size) instead of the normal
(size, elem) in the rest of the library. Since elem often has an
integral or floating point type, both types are convertible to each
other and reversing them leads to a well formed program.</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>Inverting the arguments could silently break programs. Introduce
the two signatures (const T&, size_t) and (size_t, const T&),
but make the one we do not want private so errors result in a
diagnosed access violation. This technique can also be applied to STL
containers.</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>The LWG believes that while the order of arguments is unfortunate,
it does not constitute a defect in the standard. The LWG believes that
the proposed solution will not work for valarray<size_t> and

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>The member istreambuf_iterator<>::equal is specified to be
unnecessarily inefficient. While this does not affect the efficiency
of conforming implementations of iostreams, because they can
"reach into" the iterators and bypass this function, it does
affect users who use istreambuf_iterators. </p>
<p>The inefficiency results from a too-scrupulous definition, which
requires a "true" result if neither iterator is at eof. In
practice these iterators can only usefully be compared with the
"eof" value, so the extra test implied provides no benefit,
but slows down users' code. </p>
<p>The solution is to weaken the requirement on the function to return
true only if both iterators are at eof. </p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>In 27.6.1.1, class basic_istream has a member function sync, described in 27.6.1.3,
paragraph 36. </p>
<p>Following the chain of definitions, I find that the various sync functions have defined
semantics for output streams, but no semantics for input streams. On the other hand,
basic_ostream has no sync function. </p>
<p>The sync function should at minimum be added to basic_ostream, for internal
consistency. </p>
<p>A larger question is whether sync should have assigned semantics for input streams. </p>
<p>Classic iostreams said streambuf::sync flushes pending output and attempts to return
unread input characters to the source. It is a protected member function. The filebuf
version (which is public) has that behavior (it backs up the read pointer). Class
strstreambuf does not override streambuf::sync, and so sync can't be called on a
strstream. </p>
<p>If we can add corresponding semantics to the various sync functions, we should. If not,
we should remove sync from basic_istream.</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>A sync function is not needed in basic_ostream because the flush function provides the
desired functionality.</p>

<p>The following code does not compile with the EDG compiler:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>#include <bitset>
using namespace std;
bitset<32> b("111111111");</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>If you cast the ctor argument to a string, i.e.:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>bitset<32> b(string("111111111"));</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>then it will compile. The reason is that bitset has the following templatized
constructor:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>template <class charT, class traits, class Allocator>
explicit bitset (const basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>& str, ...);</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>According to the compiler vendor, Steve Adamcyk at EDG, the user
cannot pass this template constructor a <tt>const char*</tt> and
expect a conversion to <tt>basic_string</tt>. The reason is
"When you have a template constructor, it can get used in
contexts where type deduction can be done. Type deduction basically
comes up with exact matches, not ones involving conversions."
</p>
<p>I don't think the intention when this constructor became
templatized was for construction from a <tt>const char*</tt> to no
longer work.</p>

<p>The following question came from Thorsten Herlemann:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You can set a mode when constructing or opening a file-stream or
filebuf, e.g. ios::in, ios::out, ios::binary, ... But how can I get
that mode later on, e.g. in my own operator << or operator
>> or when I want to check whether a file-stream or
file-buffer object passed as parameter is opened for input or output
or binary? Is there no possibility? Is this a design-error in the
standard C++ library? </p>
</blockquote>
<p>It is indeed impossible to find out what a stream's or stream
buffer's open mode is, and without that knowledge you don't know
how certain operations behave. Just think of the append mode. </p>
<p>Both streams and stream buffers should have a <tt>mode()</tt> function that returns the
current open mode setting. </p>

<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>For stream buffers, add a function to the base class as a non-virtual function

<p> <tt>openmode mode() const</tt>;</p>
<p><b> Returns</b> the current open mode.</p>
<p>With streams, I'm not sure what to suggest. In principle, the mode
could already be returned by <tt>ios_base</tt>, but the mode is only
initialized for file and string stream objects, unless I'm overlooking
anything. For this reason it should be added to the most derived
stream classes. Alternatively, it could be added to <tt>basic_ios</tt>
and would be default initialized in <tt>basic_ios<>::init()</tt>.</p>

<p>This might be an interesting extension for some future, but it is
not a defect in the current standard. The Proposed Resolution is

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>Section 22.4.1.4 [locale.codecvt] specifies that
ctype_byname<char> must be a specialization of the ctype_byname
template.</p>
<p>It is common practice in the standard that specializations of class templates are only
mentioned where the interface of the specialization deviates from the interface of the
template that it is a specialization of. Otherwise, the fact whether or not a required
instantiation is an actual instantiation or a specialization is left open as an
implementation detail. </p>
<p>Clause 22.2.1.4 deviates from that practice and for that reason is misleading. The
fact, that ctype_byname<char> is specified as a specialization suggests that there
must be something "special" about it, but it has the exact same interface as the
ctype_byname template. Clause 22.2.1.4 does not have any explanatory value, is at best
redundant, at worst misleading - unless I am missing anything. </p>
<p>Naturally, an implementation will most likely implement ctype_byname<char> as a
specialization, because the base class ctype<char> is a specialization with an
interface different from the ctype template, but that's an implementation detail and need
not be mentioned in the standard. </p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>[depr.c.headers] paragraph 2 reads:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Each C header, whose name has the form name.h, behaves as if each
name placed in the Standard library namespace by the corresponding
cname header is also placed within the namespace scope of the

</blockquote>
<p>I think it should mention the global name space somewhere...
Currently, it indicates that name placed in std is also placed in
std...</p>
<p>I don't know what is the correct wording. For instance, if struct
tm is defined in time.h, ctime declares std::tm. However, the current
wording seems ambiguous regarding which of the following would occur
for use of both ctime and time.h:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>// version 1:
namespace std {
struct tm { ... };
}
using std::tm;
// version 2:
struct tm { ... };
namespace std {
using ::tm;
}
// version 3:
struct tm { ... };
namespace std {
struct tm { ... };
}</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>I think version 1 is intended.</p>
<p><i>[Kona: The LWG agreed that the wording is not clear. It also
agreed that version 1 is intended, version 2 is not equivalent to

<li><i>The only cases that fail are structs, of which the C library

<p>Replace D.6 [depr.c.headers] paragraph 2 with:</p>
<blockquote>
<p> Each C header, whose name has the form name.h, behaves as if each

</blockquote>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p> The current wording in the standard is the result of a difficult
compromise that averted delay of the standard. Based on discussions
in Tokyo it is clear that there is no still no consensus on stricter
wording, so the issue has been closed. It is suggested that users not
write code that depends on Koenig lookup of C library functions.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>There is no initial value for the adjustfield defined, although
many people believe that the default adjustment were right. This is a
common misunderstanding. The standard only defines that, if no
adjustment is specified, all the predefined inserters must add fill
characters before the actual value, which is "as if" the
right flag were set. The flag itself need not be set.</p>
<p>When you implement a user-defined inserter you cannot rely on right
being the default setting for the adjustfield. Instead, you must be
prepared to find none of the flags set and must keep in mind that in
this case you should make your inserter behave "as if" the
right flag were set. This is surprising to many people and complicates
matters more than necessary.</p>
<p>Unless there is a good reason why the adjustfield should not be
initialized I would suggest to give it the default value that
everybody expects anyway.</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>This is not a defect. It is deliberate that the default is no bits
set. Consider Arabic or Hebrew, for example. See 22.4.2.2.2 [facet.num.put.virtuals] paragraph 19, Table 61 - Fill padding.</p>

<p>It is not clear which functions are to be considered unformatted
input functions. As written, it seems that all functions in 27.7.1.3
[istream.unformatted] are unformatted input functions. However, it does
not
really make much sense to construct a sentry object for
<tt>gcount()</tt>, <tt>sync()</tt>, ... Also it is unclear what
happens to the <tt>gcount()</tt> if eg. <tt>gcount()</tt>,
<tt>putback()</tt>, <tt>unget()</tt>, or <tt>sync()</tt> is called:
These functions don't extract characters, some of them even
"unextract" a character. Should this still be reflected in
<tt>gcount()</tt>? Of course, it could be read as if after a call to
<tt>gcount()</tt> <tt>gcount()</tt> return <tt>0</tt> (the last
unformatted input function, <tt>gcount()</tt>, didn't extract any
character) and after a call to <tt>putback()</tt> <tt>gcount()</tt>
returns <tt>-1</tt> (the last unformatted input function
<tt>putback()</tt> did "extract" back into the

<p>A user who tries to explicitly instantiate a complex non-member operator will
get compilation errors. Below is a simplified example of the reason why. The
problem is that iterator_traits cannot be instantiated on a non-pointer type
like float, yet when the compiler is trying to decide which operator+ needs to
be instantiated it must instantiate the declaration to figure out the first
argument type of a reverse_iterator operator.</p>
<pre>namespace std {
template <class Iterator>
struct iterator_traits
{
typedef typename Iterator::value_type value_type;
};
template <class T> class reverse_iterator;
// reverse_iterator operator+
template <class T>
reverse_iterator<T> operator+
(typename iterator_traits<T>::difference_type, const reverse_iterator<T>&);
template <class T> struct complex {};
// complex operator +
template <class T>
complex<T> operator+ (const T& lhs, const complex<T>& rhs)
{ return complex<T>();}
}
// request for explicit instantiation
template std::complex<float> std::operator+<float>(const float&,
const std::complex<float>&);</pre>

<p>Implementors can make minor changes and the example will

"std::operator+".</p>
<p>The proposed resolution of issue 120 is that users will not be able

<p>26.5.2.6 defines augmented assignment operators
valarray<T>::op=(const T&), but fails to provide
corresponding versions for the helper classes. Thus making the
following illegal:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>#include <valarray>
int main()
{
std::valarray<double> v(3.14, 1999);
v[99] *= 2.0; // Ok
std::slice s(0, 50, 2);
v[s] *= 2.0; // ERROR
}</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>I can't understand the intent of that omission. It makes the
valarray library less intuitive and less useful.</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>Although perhaps an unfortunate
design decision, the omission is not a defect in the current
standard. A future standard may wish to add the missing
operators.</p>

std::binary_function.<br>

This lack of inheritance leaves std::min and std::max somewhat useless in standard library algorithms which require

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>The complexity of binary_search() is stated as "At most
log(last-first) + 2 comparisons", which seems to say that the
algorithm has logarithmic complexity. However, this algorithms is
defined for forward iterators. And for forward iterators, the need to
step element-by-element results into linear complexity. But such a
statement is missing in the standard. The same applies to
lower_bound(), upper_bound(), and equal_range(). <br>
<br>
However, strictly speaking the standard contains no bug here. So this
might considered to be a clarification or improvement.
</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>The complexity is expressed in terms of comparisons, and that
complexity can be met even if the number of iterators accessed is
linear. Paragraph 1 already says exactly what happens to
iterators.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>As defined in 23.1.2, paragraph 7 (table 69), a.insert(p,t) suffers from
several problems:</p>
<table border="1" cellpadding="5">
<tbody><tr>
<td><b>expression</b></td>
<td><b>return type</b></td>
<td><b>pre/post-condition</b></td>
<td><b>complexity</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>a.insert(p,t)</tt></td>
<td><tt>iterator</tt></td>
<td>inserts t if and only if there is no element with key equivalent to the key of
t in containers with unique keys; always inserts t in containers with equivalent
keys. always returns the iterator pointing to the element with key equivalent to
the key of t . iterator p is a hint pointing to where the insert should start to search.</td>
<td>logarithmic in general, but amortized constant if t is inserted right after p .</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<p>1. For a container with unique keys, only logarithmic complexity is
guaranteed if no element is inserted, even though constant complexity is always
possible if p points to an element equivalent to t.</p>
<p>2. For a container with equivalent keys, the amortized constant complexity
guarantee is only useful if no key equivalent to t exists in the container.
Otherwise, the insertion could occur in one of multiple locations, at least one
of which would not be right after p.</p>
<p>3. By guaranteeing amortized constant complexity only when t is inserted
after p, it is impossible to guarantee constant complexity if t is inserted at
the beginning of the container. Such a problem would not exist if amortized
constant complexity was guaranteed if t is inserted before p, since there is
always some p immediately before which an insert can take place.</p>
<p>4. For a container with equivalent keys, p does not allow specification of
where to insert the element, but rather only acts as a hint for improving
performance. This negates the added functionality that p would provide if it
specified where within a sequence of equivalent keys the insertion should occur.
Specifying the insert location provides more control to the user, while
providing no disadvantage to the container implementation.</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>In 23.2.4 [associative.reqmts] paragraph 7, replace the row in table 69
for a.insert(p,t) with the following two rows:</p>
<table border="1" cellpadding="5">
<tbody><tr>
<td><b>expression</b></td>
<td><b>return type</b></td>
<td><b>pre/post-condition</b></td>
<td><b>complexity</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>a_uniq.insert(p,t)</tt></td>
<td><tt>iterator</tt></td>
<td>inserts t if and only if there is no element with key equivalent to the
key of t. returns the iterator pointing to the element with key equivalent
to the key of t.</td>
<td>logarithmic in general, but amortized constant if t is inserted right
before p or p points to an element with key equivalent to t.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>a_eq.insert(p,t)</tt></td>
<td><tt>iterator</tt></td>
<td>inserts t and returns the iterator pointing to the newly inserted
element. t is inserted right before p if doing so preserves the container
ordering.</td>
<td>logarithmic in general, but amortized constant if t is inserted right
before p.</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>Too big a change. Furthermore, implementors report checking
both before p and after p, and don't want to change this behavior.</p>

<h3><a name="194"></a>194. rdbuf() functions poorly specified</h3>
<p><b>Section:</b> 27.5.4 [ios] <b>Status:</b> <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-active.html#NAD">NAD</a>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>In classic iostreams, base class ios had an rdbuf function that returned a
pointer to the associated streambuf. Each derived class had its own rdbuf
function that returned a pointer of a type reflecting the actual type derived
from streambuf. Because in ARM C++, virtual function overrides had to have the
same return type, rdbuf could not be virtual.</p>
<p>In standard iostreams, we retain the non-virtual rdbuf function design, and
in addition have an overloaded rdbuf function that sets the buffer pointer.
There is no need for the second function to be virtual nor to be implemented in
derived classes.</p>
<p>Minor question: Was there a specific reason not to make the original rdbuf
function virtual?</p>
<p>Major problem: Friendly compilers warn about functions in derived classes
that hide base-class overloads. Any standard implementation of iostreams will
result in such a warning on each of the iostream classes, because of the
ill-considered decision to overload rdbuf only in a base class.</p>
<p>In addition, users of the second rdbuf function must use explicit
qualification or a cast to call it from derived classes. An explicit
qualification or cast to basic_ios would prevent access to any later overriding
version if there was one.</p>
<p>What I'd like to do in an implementation is add a using- declaration for the
second rdbuf function in each derived class. It would eliminate warnings about
hiding functions, and would enable access without using explicit qualification.
Such a change I don't think would change the behavior of any valid program, but
would allow invalid programs to compile:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre> filebuf mybuf;
fstream f;
f.rdbuf(mybuf); // should be an error, no visible rdbuf</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>I'd like to suggest this problem as a defect, with the proposed resolution to
require the equivalent of a using-declaration for the rdbuf function that is not
replaced in a later derived class. We could discuss whether replacing the
function should be allowed.</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>For historical reasons, the standard is correct as written. There is a subtle difference between the base
class <tt> rdbuf()</tt> and derived class <tt>rdbuf()</tt>. The derived
class <tt> rdbuf()</tt> always returns the original streambuf, whereas the base class
<tt> rdbuf()</tt> will return the "current streambuf" if that has been changed by the variant you mention.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>Must the value returned by max_size() be unchanged from call to call? </p>
<p>Must the value returned from max_size() be meaningful? </p>
<p>Possible meanings identified in lib-6827: </p>
<p>1) The largest container the implementation can support given "best
case" conditions - i.e. assume the run-time platform is "configured to
the max", and no overhead from the program itself. This may possibly
be determined at the point the library is written, but certainly no
later than compile time.<br>
<br>
2) The largest container the program could create, given "best case"
conditions - i.e. same platform assumptions as (1), but take into
account any overhead for executing the program itself. (or, roughly
"storage=storage-sizeof(program)"). This does NOT include any resource
allocated by the program. This may (or may not) be determinable at
compile time.<br>
<br>
3) The largest container the current execution of the program could
create, given knowledge of the actual run-time platform, but again,
not taking into account any currently allocated resource. This is
probably best determined at program start-up.<br>
<br>
4) The largest container the current execution program could create at
the point max_size() is called (or more correctly at the point
max_size() returns :-), given it's current environment (i.e. taking
into account the actual currently available resources). This,
obviously, has to be determined dynamically each time max_size() is
called. </p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>max_size() isn't useful for very many things, and the existing
wording is sufficiently clear for the few cases that max_size() can
be used for. None of the attempts to change the existing wording
were an improvement.</p>
<p>It is clear to the LWG that the value returned by max_size() can't
change from call to call.</p>

<p>27.6.1.1.2 Paragraph 4 states:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>To decide if the character c is a whitespace character, the constructor
performs ''as if'' it executes the following code fragment: </p>
<pre>const ctype<charT>& ctype = use_facet<ctype<charT> >(is.getloc());
if (ctype.is(ctype.space,c)!=0)
// c is a whitespace character.</pre>
</blockquote>
<p> But Table 51 in 22.1.1.1.1 only requires an implementation to
provide specializations for ctype<char> and
ctype<wchar_t>. If sentry's constructor is implemented using
ctype, it will be uninstantiable for a user-defined character type
charT, unless the implementation has provided non-working (since it
would be impossible to define a correct ctype<charT> specialization
for an arbitrary charT) definitions of ctype's virtual member
functions.</p>
<p>
It seems the intent the standard is that sentry should behave, in
every respect, not just during execution, as if it were implemented
using ctype, with the burden of providing a ctype specialization
falling on the user. But as it is written, nothing requires the
translation of sentry's constructor to behave as if it used the above
code, and it would seem therefore, that sentry's constructor should be
instantiable for all character types.
</p>
<p>
Note: If I have misinterpreted the intent of the standard with
respect to sentry's constructor's instantiability, then a note should
be added to the following effect:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
An implementation is forbidden from using the above code if it renders
the constructor uninstantiable for an otherwise valid character
type.
</p></blockquote>
<p>In any event, some clarification is needed.</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>It is possible but not easy to instantiate on types other than char
or wchar_t; many things have to be done first. That is by intention
and is not a defect.</p>

<p>Section 24.3.4 describes the function distance(first, last) (where first and
last are iterators) which calculates "the number of increments or
decrements needed to get from 'first' to 'last'".</p>
<p>The function should work for forward, bidirectional and random access
iterators, and there is a requirement 24.3.4.5 which states that "'last'
must be reachable from 'first'".</p>
<p>With random access iterators the function is easy to implement as "last
- first".</p>
<p>With forward iterators it's clear that 'first' must point to a place before
'last', because otherwise 'last' would not be reachable from 'first'.</p>
<p>But what about bidirectional iterators? There 'last' is reachable from
'first' with the -- operator even if 'last' points to an earlier position than
'first'. However, I cannot see how the distance() function could be implemented
if the implementation does not know which of the iterators points to an earlier
position (you cannot use ++ or -- on either iterator if you don't know which
direction is the "safe way to travel").</p>
<p>The paragraph 24.3.4.1 states that "for ... bidirectional iterators they
use ++ to provide linear time implementations". However, the ++ operator is
not mentioned in the reachability requirement. Furthermore 24.3.4.4 explicitly
mentions that distance() returns the number of increments _or decrements_,
suggesting that it could return a negative number also for bidirectional
iterators when 'last' points to a position before 'first'.</p>
<p>Is a further requirement is needed to state that for forward and
bidirectional iterators "'last' must be reachable from 'first' using the ++
operator". Maybe this requirement might also apply to random access
iterators so that distance() would work the same way for every iterator
category?</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>"Reachable" is defined in the standard in X [iterator.concepts] paragraph 6.
The definition is only in terms of operator++(). The LWG sees no defect in
the standard.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>Due to the additional overloaded versions of numeric functions for
float and long double according to Section 26.5, calls such as int x;
std::pow (x, 4) are ambiguous now in a standard conforming
implementation. Current implementations solve this problem very
different (overload for all types, don't overload for float and long
double, use preprocessor, follow the standard and get
ambiguities).</p> <p>This behavior should be standardized or at least
identified as implementation defined.</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>These math issues are an
understood and accepted consequence of the design. They have
been discussed several times in the past. Users must write casts
or write floating point expressions as arguments.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>A user noticed that this doesn't compile with the Rogue Wave library because
the rb_tree class declares a key_allocator, and allocator<const int> is
not legal, I think:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>map < const int, ... > // legal?</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>which made me wonder whether it is legal for a map's key_type to be const. In
email from Matt Austern he said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I'm not sure whether it's legal to declare a map with a const key type. I
hadn't thought about that question until a couple weeks ago. My intuitive
feeling is that it ought not to be allowed, and that the standard ought to say
so. It does turn out to work in SGI's library, though, and someone in the
compiler group even used it. Perhaps this deserves to be written up as an issue
too.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>The "key is assignable" requirement from table 69 in
23.2.4 [associative.reqmts] already implies the key cannot be const.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>27.7.3 [std.manip] paragraph 5 says:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>smanip setbase(int base);</pre>
<p> Returns: An object s of unspecified type such that if out is an
(instance of) basic_ostream then the expression out<<s behaves
as if f(s) were called, in is an (instance of) basic_istream then the
expression in>>s behaves as if f(s) were called. Where f can be
defined as:</p>
<pre>ios_base& f(ios_base& str, int base)
{
// set basefield
str.setf(n == 8 ? ios_base::oct :
n == 10 ? ios_base::dec :
n == 16 ? ios_base::hex :
ios_base::fmtflags(0), ios_base::basefield);
return str;
}</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>There are two problems here. First, f takes two parameters, so the
description needs to say that out<<s and in>>s behave as if f(s,base)
had been called. Second, f is has a parameter named base, but is written as if
the parameter was named n.</p>
<p>Actually, there's a third problem. The paragraph has grammatical errors.
There needs to be an "and" after the first comma, and the "Where
f" sentence fragment needs to be merged into its preceding sentence. You
may also want to format the function a little better. The formatting above is
more-or-less what the Standard contains.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>Many of the algorithms take an argument, pred, of template parameter type
BinaryPredicate or an argument comp of template parameter type Compare. These
algorithms usually have an overloaded version that does not take the predicate
argument. In these cases pred is usually replaced by the use of operator== and
comp is replaced by the use of operator<.</p>
<p>This use of hard-coded operators is inconsistent with other parts of the
library, particularly the containers library, where equality is established
using equal_to<> and ordering is established using less<>. Worse,
the use of operator<, would cause the following innocent-looking code to have
undefined behavior:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>vector<string*> vec;
sort(vec.begin(), vec.end());</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>The use of operator< is not defined for pointers to unrelated objects. If
std::sort used less<> to compare elements, then the above code would be
well-defined, since less<> is explicitly specialized to produce a total
ordering of pointers.</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>This use of operator== and operator< was a very deliberate, conscious, and
explicitly made design decision; these operators are often more efficient. The
predicate forms are available for users who don't want to rely on operator== and
operator<.</p>

<p>The find function always searches for a value using operator== to compare the
value argument to each element in the input iterator range. This is inconsistent
with other find-related functions such as find_end and find_first_of, which
allow the caller to specify a binary predicate object to be used for determining
equality. The fact that this can be accomplished using a combination of find_if
and bind_1st or bind_2nd does not negate the desirability of a consistent,
simple, alternative interface to find.</p>

int n = *i++;

<p>I do not think it is specified how many integers have been read

More?</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>The standard is clear as written: the stream is read every time
operator++ is called, and it is also read either when the iterator is
constructed or when operator* is called for the first time. In the
example above, exactly two integers are read from cin.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>Closed issue 192 raised several problems with the specification of
this function, but was rejected as Not A Defect because it was too big
a change with unacceptable impacts on existing implementations.
However, issues remain that could be addressed with a smaller change
and with little or no consequent impact.</p>
<ol>
<li><p> The specification is inconsistent with the original
proposal and with several implementations.</p>
<p>The initial implementation by Hewlett Packard only ever looked
immediately <i>before</i> p, and I do not believe there was any
intention to standardize anything other than this behavior.
Consequently, current implementations by several leading
implementors also look immediately before p, and will only insert
after p in logarithmic time. I am only aware of one implementation
that does actually look after p, and it looks before p as well. It
is therefore doubtful that existing code would be relying on the
behavior defined in the standard, and it would seem that fixing
this defect as proposed below would standardize existing
practice.</p></li>
<li><p>
The specification is inconsistent with insertion for sequence
containers.</p>
<p>This is difficult and confusing to teach to newcomers. All
insert operations that specify an iterator as an insertion location
should have a consistent meaning for the location represented by
that iterator.</p></li>
<li><p> As specified, there is no way to hint that the insertion
should occur at the beginning of the container, and the way to hint
that it should occur at the end is long winded and unnatural.</p>
<p>For a container containing n elements, there are n+1 possible
insertion locations and n+1 valid iterators. For there to be a
one-to-one mapping between iterators and insertion locations, the
iterator must represent an insertion location immediately before
the iterator.</p></li>
<li><p> When appending sorted ranges using insert_iterators,
insertions are guaranteed to be sub-optimal.</p>
<p>In such a situation, the optimum location for insertion is
always immediately after the element previously inserted. The
mechanics of the insert iterator guarantee that it will try and
insert after the element after that, which will never be correct.
However, if the container first tried to insert before the hint,
all insertions would be performed in amortized constant
time.</p></li>
</ol>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>In 23.1.2 [lib.associative.reqmts] paragraph 7, table 69, make

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The basic_streambuf members gbump() and pbump() are specified to take an
int argument. This requirement prevents the functions from effectively
manipulating buffers larger than std::numeric_limits<int>::max()
characters. It also makes the common use case for these functions
somewhat difficult as many compilers will issue a warning when an
argument of type larger than int (such as ptrdiff_t on LLP64
architectures) is passed to either of the function. Since it's often the
result of the subtraction of two pointers that is passed to the
functions, a cast is necessary to silence such warnings. Finally, the
usage of a native type in the functions signatures is inconsistent with
other member functions (such as sgetn() and sputn()) that manipulate the
underlying character buffer. Those functions take a streamsize argument.

</blockquote>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Change the signatures of these functions in the synopsis of template
class basic_streambuf (27.5.2) and in their descriptions (27.5.2.3.1, p4
and 27.5.2.3.2, p4) to take a streamsize argument.
</p>
<p>
Although this change has the potential of changing the ABI of the
library, the change will affect only platforms where int is different
than the definition of streamsize. However, since both functions are
typically inline (they are on all known implementations), even on such
platforms the change will not affect any user code unless it explicitly
relies on the existing type of the functions (e.g., by taking their
address). Such a possibility is IMO quite remote.
</p>
<p>
Alternate Suggestion from Howard Hinnant, c++std-lib-7780:
</p>
<p>
This is something of a nit, but I'm wondering if streamoff wouldn't be a
better choice than streamsize. The argument to pbump and gbump MUST be
signed. But the standard has this to say about streamsize
(27.4.1/2/Footnote):
</p>
<blockquote><p>
[Footnote: streamsize is used in most places where ISO C would use
size_t. Most of the uses of streamsize could use size_t, except for
the strstreambuf constructors, which require negative values. It
should probably be the signed type corresponding to size_t (which is
what Posix.2 calls ssize_t). --- end footnote]
</p></blockquote>
<p>
This seems a little weak for the argument to pbump and gbump. Should we
ever really get rid of strstream, this footnote might go with it, along
with the reason to make streamsize signed.
</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>The LWG believes this change is too big for now. We may wish to
reconsider this for a future revision of the standard. One

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
According to the November 1997 Draft Standard, the results of deleting an
object of a derived class through a pointer to an object of its base class are
undefined if the base class has a non-virtual destructor. Therefore, it is
potentially dangerous to publicly inherit from such base classes.
</p>
<p>Defect:
<br>
The STL design encourages users to publicly inherit from a number of classes
which do nothing but specify interfaces, and which contain non-virtual
destructors.
</p>
<p>Attribution:
<br>
Wil Evers and William E. Kempf suggested this modification for functional
objects.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
When a base class in the standard library is useful only as an interface
specifier, i.e., when an object of the class will never be directly
instantiated, specify that the class contains a protected destructor. This
will prevent deletion through a pointer to the base class without performance,
or space penalties (on any implementation I'm aware of).
</p>
<p>
As an example, replace...
</p>
<pre> template <class Arg, class Result>
struct unary_function {
typedef Arg argument_type;
typedef Result result_type;
};
</pre>
<p>
... with...
</p>
<pre> template <class Arg, class Result>
struct unary_function {
typedef Arg argument_type;
typedef Result result_type;
protected:
~unary_function() {}
};
</pre>
<p>
Affected definitions:
<br>
20.3.1 [lib.function.objects] -- unary_function, binary_function
<br>
24.3.2 [lib.iterator.basic] -- iterator
</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>
The standard is clear as written; this is a request for change, not a
defect in the strict sense. The LWG had several different objections
to the proposed change. One is that it would prevent users from
creating objects of type <tt>unary_function</tt> and
<tt>binary_function</tt>. Doing so can sometimes be legitimate, if users
want to pass temporaries as traits or tag types in generic code.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
It appears that the interaction of the strstreambuf members overflow()
and seekoff() can lead to undefined behavior in cases where defined
behavior could reasonably be expected. The following program
demonstrates this behavior:
</p>
<pre> #include <strstream>
int main ()
{
std::strstreambuf sb;
sb.sputc ('c');
sb.pubseekoff (-1, std::ios::end, std::ios::in);
return !('c' == sb.sgetc ());
}
</pre>
<p>
D.7.1.1, p1 initializes strstreambuf with a call to basic_streambuf<>(),
which in turn sets all pointers to 0 in 27.5.2.1, p1.
</p>
<p>
27.5.2.2.5, p1 says that basic_streambuf<>::sputc(c) calls
overflow(traits::to_int_type(c)) if a write position isn't available (it
isn't due to the above).
</p>
<p>
D.7.1.3, p3 says that strstreambuf::overflow(off, ..., ios::in) makes at
least one write position available (i.e., it allows the function to make
any positive number of write positions available).
</p>
<p>
D.7.1.3, p13 computes newoff = seekhigh - eback(). In D.7.1, p4 we see
seekhigh = epptr() ? epptr() : egptr(), or seekhigh = epptr() in this
case. newoff is then epptr() - eback().
</p>
<p>
D.7.1.4, p14 sets gptr() so that gptr() == eback() + newoff + off, or
gptr() == epptr() + off holds.
</p>
<p>
If strstreambuf::overflow() made exactly one write position available
then gptr() will be set to just before epptr(), and the program will
return 0. Buf if the function made more than one write position
available, epptr() and gptr() will both point past pptr() and the
behavior of the program is undefined.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>Change the last sentence of D.8.1 [depr.strstreambuf] paragraph 4 from</p>
<blockquote><p>
Otherwise, seeklow equals gbeg and seekhigh is either pend, if
pend is not a null pointer, or gend.
</p></blockquote>
<p>to become</p>
<blockquote><p>
Otherwise, seeklow equals gbeg and seekhigh is either gend if
0 == pptr(), or pbase() + max where max is the maximum value of
pptr() - pbase() ever reached for this stream.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
One of our customers asks whether this is valid C++:
</p>
<pre> #include <cstdarg>
void bar(const char *, va_list);
void
foo(const char *file, const char *, ...)
{
va_list ap;
va_start(ap, file);
bar(file, ap);
va_end(ap);
}
</pre>
<p>
The issue being whether it is valid to use cstdarg when the final
parameter before the "..." is unnamed. cstdarg is, as far
as I can tell, inherited verbatim from the C standard. and the
definition there (7.8.1.1 in the ISO C89 standard) refers to "the
identifier of the rightmost parameter". What happens when there
is no such identifier?
</p>
<p>
My personal opinion is that this should be allowed, but some tweak
might be required in the C++ standard.
</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>
Not a defect, the C and C++ standards are clear. It is impossible to
use varargs if the parameter immediately before "..." has no
name, because that is the parameter that must be passed to va_start.
The example given above is broken, because va_start is being passed
the wrong parameter.
</p>
<p>
There is no support for extending varargs to provide additional
functionality beyond what's currently there. For reasons of C/C++
compatibility, it is especially important not to make gratuitous
changes in this part of the C++ standard. The C committee has already
been requested not to touch this part of the C standard unless
necessary.

<p>
In 20.1.5, paragraph 5, the standard says that "Implementors are
encouraged to supply libraries that can accept allocators that
encapsulate more general memory models and that support non-equal
instances." This is intended as normative encouragement to
standard library implementors. However, it is possible to interpret
this sentence as applying to nonstandard third-party libraries.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
In 20.1.5, paragraph 5, change "Implementors" to
"Implementors of the library described in this International
Standard".
</p>

<p>The LWG believes the normative encouragement is already
sufficiently clear, and that there are no important consequences

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
This came from an email from Steve Cleary to Fergus in reference to
issue <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#179">179</a>. The library working group briefly discussed
this in Toronto and believes it should be a separate issue.
</p>
<p>
Steve said: "We may want to state that the const/non-const iterators must have
the same difference type, size_type, and category."
</p>
<p>
(Comment from Judy)
I'm not sure if the above sentence should be true for all
const and non-const iterators in a particular container, or if it means
the container's iterator can't be compared with the container's
const_iterator unless the above it true. I suspect the former.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
In <b>Section:</b> 23.2 [container.requirements],
table 65, in the assertion/note pre/post condition for X::const_iterator,
add the following:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
typeid(X::const_iterator::difference_type) == typeid(X::iterator::difference_type)
</p>
<p>
typeid(X::const_iterator::size_type) == typeid(X::iterator::size_type)
</p>
<p>
typeid(X::const_iterator::category) == typeid(X::iterator::category)
</p>
</blockquote>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>Going through the types one by one: Iterators don't have a
<tt>size_type</tt>. We already know that the difference types are
identical, because the container requirements already say that the
difference types of both X::iterator and X::const_iterator are both
X::difference_type. The standard does not require that X::iterator
and X::const_iterator have the same iterator category, but the LWG
does not see this as a defect: it's possible to imagine cases in which
it would be useful for the categories to be different.</p>
<p>It may be desirable to require X::iterator and X::const_iterator to
have the same value type, but that is a new issue. (Issue <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#322">322</a>.)</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The Effects clause for ios_base::setf(fmtflags fmtfl) says
"Sets fmtfl in flags()". What happens if the user first calls
ios_base::scientific and then calls ios_base::fixed or vice-versa?
This is an issue for all of the conflicting flags, i.e. ios_base::left
and ios_base::right or ios_base::dec, ios_base::hex and ios_base::oct.
</p>
<p>
I see three possible solutions:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Set ios_base::failbit whenever the user specifies a conflicting
flag with one previously explicitly set. If the constructor is
supposed to set ios_base::dec (see discussion below), then
the user setting hex or oct format after construction will not
set failbit. </li>
<li>The last call to setf "wins", i.e. it clears any conflicting
previous setting.</li>
<li>All the flags that the user specifies are set, but when actually
interpreting them, fixed always override scientific, right always
overrides left, dec overrides hex which overrides oct.</li>
</ol>
<p>
Most existing implementations that I tried seem to conform to resolution #3,
except that when using the iomanip manipulator hex or oct then that always
overrides dec, but calling setf(ios_base::hex) doesn't.
</p>
<p>
There is a sort of related issue, which is that although the ios_base
constructor says that each ios_base member has an indeterminate value
after construction, all the existing implementations I tried explicitly set
ios_base::dec.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>
<tt>adjustfield</tt>, <tt>basefield</tt>, and <tt>floatfield</tt>
are each multi-bit fields. It is possible to set multiple bits within
each of those fields. (For example, <tt>dec</tt> and
<tt>oct</tt>). These fields are used by locale facets. The LWG
reviewed the way in which each of those three fields is used, and
believes that in each case the behavior is well defined for any
possible combination of bits. See for example Table 58, in 22.4.2.2.2
[facet.num.put.virtuals], noting the requirement in paragraph 6 of that
section.
</p>
<p>
Users are advised to use manipulators, or else use the two-argument
version of <tt>setf</tt>, to avoid unexpected behavior.

<p>
In ISO/IEC 9899:1990 Programming Languages C we find the following

<blockquote><p>

<br>
The names of all existing functions declared in the <math.h>

<p>
For example, <tt>float sinf(float)</tt>
is reserved.
</p>
<p>
In the C99 standard, <math.h> must contain declarations
for these functions.
</p>
<p>
So, is it acceptable for an implementor to add these prototypes to the
C++ versions of the math headers? Are they required?
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Add these Functions to Table 80, section 26.5 and to Table 99,

There should probably be a note saying that these functions

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>The specification of the for_each algorithm does not have a
"Requires" section, which means that there are no
restrictions imposed on the function object whatsoever. In essence it
means that I can provide any function object with arbitrary side
effects and I can still expect a predictable result. In particular I
can expect that the function object is applied exactly last - first
times, which is promised in the "Complexity" section.
</p>
<p>I don't see how any implementation can give such a guarantee
without imposing requirements on the function object.
</p>
<p>Just as an example: consider a function object that removes
elements from the input sequence. In that case, what does the
complexity guarantee (applies f exactly last - first times) mean?
</p>
<p>One can argue that this is obviously a nonsensical application and
a theoretical case, which unfortunately it isn't. I have seen
programmers shooting themselves in the foot this way, and they did not
understand that there are restrictions even if the description of the
algorithm does not say so.
</p>
<p><i>[Lillehammer: This is more general than for_each. We don't want
the function object in transform invalidiating iterators

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>This issue is related to issue 242. In case that the resolution
proposed for issue 242 is accepted, we have have the following
situation: The 4 numeric algorithms (accumulate and consorts) as well
as transform would allow a certain category of side effects. The
numeric algorithms specify that they invoke the functor "for
every iterator i in the range [first, last) in order". transform,
in contrast, would not give any guarantee regarding order of
invocation of the functor, which means that the functor can be invoked
in any arbitrary order.
</p>
<p>Why would that be a problem? Consider an example: say the
transformator that is a simple enumerator ( or more generally
speaking, "is order-sensitive" ). Since a standard
compliant implementation of transform is free to invoke the enumerator
in no definite order, the result could be a garbled enumeration.
Strictly speaking this is not a problem, but it is certainly at odds
with the prevalent understanding of transform as an algorithms that
assigns "a new _corresponding_ value" to the output
elements.
</p>
<p>All implementations that I know of invoke the transformator in
definite order, namely starting from first and proceeding to last -
1. Unless there is an optimization conceivable that takes advantage of
the indefinite order I would suggest to specify the order, because it
eliminate the uncertainty that users would otherwise have regarding
the order of execution of their potentially order-sensitive function
objects.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>In section 25.2.3 - Transform [lib.alg.transform] change:</p>
<blockquote><p>
-1- Effects: Assigns through every iterator i in the range [result,
result + (last1 - first1)) a new corresponding
value equal to op(*(first1 + (i - result)) or binary_op(*(first1 +
(i - result), *(first2 + (i - result))).
</p></blockquote>
<p>to:</p>
<blockquote><p>
-1- Effects: Computes values by invoking the operation op or binary_op
for every iterator in the range [first1, last1) in order. Assigns through
every iterator i in the range [result, result + (last1 - first1)) a new
corresponding
value equal to op(*(first1 + (i - result)) or binary_op(*(first1 +
(i - result), *(first2 + (i - result))).
</p></blockquote>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>For Input Iterators an order is already guaranteed, because
only one order is possible. If a user who passes a Forward
Iterator to one of these algorithms really needs a specific
order of execution, it's possible to achieve that effect by
wrapping it in an Input Iterator adaptor.</p>

22.2.1.5.2, paragraph 10. As implied by that paragraph, and clarified
in issue <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#75">75</a>, <tt>codecvt<>::do_length()</tt> must
process the source data and update the <tt>stateT</tt> argument just
as if the data had been processed by <tt>codecvt<>::in()</tt>.
However, the standard does not specify how <tt>do_length()</tt> would
report a translation failure, should the source sequence contain
untranslatable or illegal character sequences.
</p>
<p>
The other conversion methods return an "error" result value
to indicate that an untranslatable character has been encountered, but
<tt>do_length()</tt> already has a return value (the number of source
characters that have been processed by the method).
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
This issue cannot be resolved without modifying the interface. An exception
cannot be used, as there would be no way to determine how many characters
have been processed and the state object would be left in an indeterminate
state.
</p>
<p>
A source compatible solution involves adding a fifth argument to length()
and do_length() that could be used to return position of the offending
character sequence. This argument would have a default value that would
allow it to be ignored:
</p>
<pre> int length(stateT& state,
const externT* from,
const externT* from_end,
size_t max,
const externT** from_next = 0);
virtual
int do_length(stateT& state,
const externT* from,
const externT* from_end,
size_t max,
const externT** from_next);
</pre>
<p>
Then an exception could be used to report any translation errors and
the from_next argument, if used, could then be used to retrieve the
location of the offending character sequence.
</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>The standard is already clear: the return value is the number of
"valid complete characters". If it encounters an invalid sequence of
external characters, it stops.</p>

<p>
We all "know" that input iterators are allowed to produce
values when dereferenced of which there is no other in-memory copy.
</p>
<p>
But: Table 72, with a careful reading, seems to imply that this can only be
the case if the value_type has no members (e.g. is a built-in type).
</p>
<p>The problem occurs in the following entry:</p>
<pre> a->m pre: (*a).m is well-defined
Equivalent to (*a).m
</pre>
<p>
<tt>*a.m</tt> can be well-defined if <tt>*a</tt> is not a reference
type, but since <tt>operator->()</tt> must return a pointer for
<tt>a->m</tt> to be well-formed, it needs something to return a
pointer <i>to</i>. This seems to indicate that <tt>*a</tt> must be
buffered somewhere to make a legal input iterator.
</p>
<p>I don't think this was intentional.</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>The current standard is clear and consistent. Input iterators that
return rvalues are in fact implementable. They may in some cases
require extra work, but it is still possible to define an operator->
in such cases: it doesn't have to return a T*, but may return a
proxy type. No change to the standard is justified.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The descriptions of the constructors of basic_istream<>::sentry
(27.7.1.1.3 [istream::sentry]) and basic_ostream<>::sentry
(27.7.2.4 [ostream::sentry]) do not explain what the functions do in
case an exception is thrown while they execute. Some current
implementations allow all exceptions to propagate, others catch them
and set ios_base::badbit instead, still others catch some but let
others propagate.
</p>
<p>
The text also mentions that the functions may call setstate(failbit)
(without actually saying on what object, but presumably the stream
argument is meant). That may have been fine for
basic_istream<>::sentry prior to issue <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#195">195</a>, since
the function performs an input operation which may fail. However,
issue <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#195">195</a> amends 27.7.1.1.3 [istream::sentry], p2 to
clarify that the function should actually call setstate(failbit |
eofbit), so the sentence in p3 is redundant or even somewhat
contradictory.
</p>
<p>
The same sentence that appears in 27.7.2.4 [ostream::sentry], p3
doesn't seem to be very meaningful for basic_istream<>::sentry
which performs no input. It is actually rather misleading since it
would appear to guide library implementers to calling
setstate(failbit) when os.tie()->flush(), the only called function,
throws an exception (typically, it's badbit that's set in response to
such an event).
</p>
<p><b>Additional comments from Martin, who isn't comfortable with the
current proposed resolution</b> (see c++std-lib-11530)</p>
<p>
The istream::sentry ctor says nothing about how the function
deals with exemptions (27.6.1.1.2, p1 says that the class is
responsible for doing "exception safe"(*) prefix and suffix
operations but it doesn't explain what level of exception
safety the class promises to provide). The mockup example
of a "typical implementation of the sentry ctor" given in
27.6.1.1.2, p6, removed in ISO/IEC 14882:2003, doesn't show
exception handling, either. Since the ctor is not classified
as a formatted or unformatted input function, the text in
27.6.1.1, p1 through p4 does not apply. All this would seem
to suggest that the sentry ctor should not catch or in any
way handle exceptions thrown from any functions it may call.
Thus, the typical implementation of an istream extractor may
look something like [1].
</p>
<p>
The problem with [1] is that while it correctly sets ios::badbit
if an exception is thrown from one of the functions called from
the sentry ctor, if the sentry ctor reaches EOF while extracting
whitespace from a stream that has eofbit or failbit set in
exceptions(), it will cause an ios::failure to be thrown, which
will in turn cause the extractor to set ios::badbit.
</p>
<p>
The only straightforward way to prevent this behavior is to
move the definition of the sentry object in the extractor
above the try block (as suggested by the example in 22.2.8,
p9 and also indirectly supported by 27.6.1.3, p1). See [2].
But such an implementation will allow exceptions thrown from
functions called from the ctor to freely propagate to the
caller regardless of the setting of ios::badbit in the stream
object's exceptions().
</p>
<p>
So since neither [1] nor [2] behaves as expected, the only
possible solution is to have the sentry ctor catch exceptions
thrown from called functions, set badbit, and propagate those
exceptions if badbit is also set in exceptions(). (Another
solution exists that deals with both kinds of sentries, but
the code is non-obvious and cumbersome -- see [3].)
</p>
<p>
Please note that, as the issue points out, current libraries
do not behave consistently, suggesting that implementors are
not quite clear on the exception handling in istream::sentry,
despite the fact that some LWG members might feel otherwise.
(As documented by the parenthetical comment here:
http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2003/n1480.html#309)
</p>
<p>
Also please note that those LWG members who in Copenhagen
felt that "a sentry's constructor should not catch exceptions,
because sentries should only be used within (un)formatted input
functions and that exception handling is the responsibility of
those functions, not of the sentries," as noted here
http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2001/n1310.html#309
would in effect be either arguing for the behavior described
in [1] or for extractors implemented along the lines of [3].
</p>
<p>
The original proposed resolution (Revision 25 of the issues
list) clarifies the role of the sentry ctor WRT exception
handling by making it clear that extractors (both library
or user-defined) should be implemented along the lines of
[2] (as opposed to [1]) and that no exception thrown from
the callees should propagate out of either function unless
badbit is also set in exceptions().

[Pre-Portland] A relevant newsgroup post:
</p>
<p>
The current proposed resolution of issue #309
(http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-active.html#309) is
unacceptable. I write commerical software and coding around this
makes my code ugly, non-intuitive, and requires comments referring
people to this very issue. Following is the full explanation of my
experience.
</p>
<p>
In the course of writing software for commercial use, I constructed
std::ifstream's based on user-supplied pathnames on typical POSIX
systems.
</p>
<p>
It was expected that some files that opened successfully might not read
successfully -- such as a pathname which actually refered to a
directory. Intuitively, I expected the streambuffer underflow() code
to throw an exception in this situation, and recent implementations of
libstdc++'s basic_filebuf do just that (as well as many of my own
custom streambufs).
</p>
<p>
I also intuitively expected that the istream code would convert these
exceptions to the "badbit' set on the stream object, because I had not
requested exceptions. I refer to 27.6.1.1. P4.
</p>
<p>
However, this was not the case on at least two implementations -- if
the first thing I did with an istream was call operator>>( T& ) for T
among the basic arithmetic types and std::string. Looking further I
found that the sentry's constructor was invoking the exception when it
pre-scanned for whitespace, and the extractor function (operator>>())
was not catching exceptions in this situation.
</p>
<p>
So, I was in a situation where setting 'noskipws' would change the
istream's behavior even though no characters (whitespace or not) could
ever be successfully read.
</p>
<p>
Also, calling .peek() on the istream before calling the extractor()
changed the behavior (.peek() had the effect of setting the badbit
ahead of time).
</p>
<p>
I found this all to be so inconsistent and inconvenient for me and my
code design, that I filed a bugzilla entry for libstdc++. I was then
told that the bug cannot be fixed until issue #309 is resolved by the
committee.

<p>
According to section 18.7.3.3 of the standard, std::terminate() is
supposed to call the terminate_handler in effect immediately after
evaluating the throw expression.
</p>
<p>
Question: what if the terminate_handler in effect is itself
std::terminate?
</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre> #include <exception>
int main () {
std::set_terminate(std::terminate);
throw 5;
return 0;
}
</pre>
<p>
Is the implementation allowed to go into an infinite loop?

<p>
I think the same issue applies to std::set_unexpected.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>Infinite recursion is to be expected: users who set the terminate

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The standard appears to contradict itself about whether the stack is
unwound when the implementation calls terminate().
</p>
<p>From 18.7.3.3p2:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Calls the terminate_handler function in effect immediately
after evaluating the throw-expression (lib.terminate.handler),
if called by the implementation [...]
</p></blockquote>
<p>So the stack is guaranteed not to be unwound.</p>
<p>But from 15.3p9:</p>
<blockquote><p>
[...]whether or not the stack is unwound before this call
to terminate() is implementation-defined (except.terminate).
</p></blockquote>
<p>
And 15.5.1 actually defines that in most cases the stack is unwound.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>There is definitely no contradiction between the core and library
clauses; nothing in the core clauses says that stack unwinding happens
after <tt>terminate</tt> is called. 18.7.3.3p2 does not say anything
about when terminate() is called; it merely specifies which
<tt>terminate_handler</tt> is used.</p>

<p>Currently the standard mandates the following overloads of
abs():</p>
<pre> abs(long), abs(int) in <cstdlib>
abs(float), abs(double), abs(long double) in <cmath>
template<class T> T abs(const complex<T>&) in <complex>
template<class T> valarray<T> abs(const valarray<T>&); in <valarray>
</pre>
<p>
The problem is that having only some overloads visible of a function
that works on "implicitly inter-convertible" types is dangerous in
practice. The headers that get included at any point in a translation
unit can change unpredictably during program
development/maintenance. The wrong overload might be unintentionally
selected.
</p>
<p>
Currently, there is nothing that mandates the simultaneous visibility
of these overloads. Indeed, some vendors have begun fastidiously
reducing dependencies among their (public) headers as a QOI issue: it
helps people to write portable code by refusing to compile unless all
the correct headers are #included.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The "exposition only" value of the std::locale::none constant shown in
the definition of class locale is misleading in that it on many
systems conflicts with the value assigned to one if the LC_XXX
constants (specifically, LC_COLLATE on AIX, LC_ALL on HP-UX, LC_CTYPE
on Linux and SunOS). This causes incorrect behavior when such a
constant is passed to one of the locale member functions that accept a
locale::category argument and interpret it as either the C LC_XXX
constant or a bitmap of locale::category values. At least three major
implementations adopt the suggested value without a change and
consequently suffer from this problem.
</p>
<p>
For instance, the following code will (presumably) incorrectly copy facets
belonging to the collate category from the German locale on AIX:
</p>
<pre> std::locale l (std::locale ("C"), "de_DE", std::locale::none);
</pre>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>The LWG agrees that it may be difficult to implement locale member
functions in such a way that they can take either <tt>category</tt>
arguments or the LC_ constants defined in <cctype>. In light of
this requirement (22.3.1.1.1 [locale.category], paragraph 2), and in light
of the requirement in the preceding paragraph that it is possible to
combine <tt>category</tt> bitmask elements with bitwise operations,
defining the <tt>category</tt> elements is delicate,
particularly if an implementor is constrained to work with a
preexisting C library. (Just using the existing LC_ constants would
not work in general.) There's no set of "exposition only" values that
could give library implementors proper guidance in such a delicate
matter. The non-normative example we're giving is no worse than
any other choice would be.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>I think we have a defect.</p>
<p>According to lwg issue <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#60">60</a> which is now a dr, the
description of seekg in 27.7.1.3 [istream.unformatted] paragraph 38 now looks
like:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in 27.6.1.3,
paragraph 1), except that it does not count the number of characters
extracted and does not affect the value returned by subsequent calls to
gcount(). After constructing a sentry object, if fail() != true,
executes rdbuf()->pubseekpos( pos).
</p></blockquote>
<p>And according to lwg issue <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#243">243</a> which is also now a dr,
27.6.1.3, paragraph 1 looks like:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Each unformatted input function begins execution by constructing an
object of class sentry with the default argument noskipws (second)
argument true. If the sentry object returns true, when converted to a
value of type bool, the function endeavors to obtain the requested
input. Otherwise, if the sentry constructor exits by throwing an
exception or if the sentry object returns false, when converted to a
value of type bool, the function returns without attempting to obtain
any input. In either case the number of extracted characters is set to
0; unformatted input functions taking a character array of non-zero
size as an argument shall also store a null character (using charT())
in the first location of the array. If an exception is thrown during
input then ios::badbit is turned on in *this'ss error state. If
(exception()&badbit)!= 0 then the exception is rethrown. It also counts
the number of characters extracted. If no exception has been thrown it
ends by storing the count in a member object and returning the value
specified. In any event the sentry object is destroyed before leaving
the unformatted input function.
</p></blockquote>
<p>And finally 27.6.1.1.2/5 says this about sentry:</p>
<blockquote><p>
If, after any preparation is completed, is.good() is true, ok_ != false
otherwise, ok_ == false.
</p></blockquote>
<p>
So although the seekg paragraph says that the operation proceeds if
!fail(), the behavior of unformatted functions says the operation
proceeds only if good(). The two statements are contradictory when only
eofbit is set. I don't think the current text is clear which condition
should be respected.
</p>
<p><b>Further discussion from Redmond:</b></p>
<p>PJP: It doesn't seem quite right to say that <tt>seekg</tt> is
"unformatted". That makes specific claims about sentry that
aren't quite appropriate for seeking, which has less fragile failure
modes than actual input. If we do really mean that it's unformatted
input, it should behave the same way as other unformatted input. On
the other hand, "principle of least surprise" is that seeking from EOF
ought to be OK.</p>
<p>
Pre-Berlin: Paolo points out several problems with the proposed resolution in
Ready state:
</p>
<ul>
<li>It should apply to both overloads of seekg.</li>
<li>tellg has similar issues, except that it should not call clear().</li>
<li>The point about clear() seems to apply to seekp().</li>
<li>Depending on the outcome of <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#419">419</a>
if the sentry
sets <tt>failbit</tt> when it finds <tt>eofbit</tt> already set, then
you can never seek away from the end of stream.</li>
</ul>

<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>Change 27.7.1.3 [istream.unformatted] to:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in 27.6.1.3,
paragraph 1), except that it does not count the number of characters
extracted, does not affect the value returned by subsequent calls to
gcount(), and does not examine the value returned by the sentry
object. After constructing a sentry object, if <tt>fail() !=
true</tt>, executes <tt>rdbuf()->pubseekpos(pos)</tt>. In
case of success, the function calls clear().
In case of failure, the function calls <tt>setstate(failbit)</tt>
(which may throw <tt>ios_base::failure</tt>).
</p></blockquote>
<p><i>[Lillehammer: Matt provided wording.]</i></p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>In C, fseek does clear EOF. This is probably what most users would
expect. We agree that having eofbit set should not deter a seek,
and that a successful seek should clear eofbit. Note
that <tt>fail()</tt> is true only if <tt>failbit</tt>
or <tt>badbit</tt> is set, so using <tt>!fail()</tt>, rather
than <tt>good()</tt>, satisfies this goal.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The synopses of the C++ library headers clearly show which names are
required to be defined in each header. Since in order to implement the
classes and templates defined in these headers declarations of other
templates (but not necessarily their definitions) are typically
necessary the standard in 17.4.4, p1 permits library implementers to
include any headers needed to implement the definitions in each header.
</p>
<p>
For instance, although it is not explicitly specified in the synopsis of
<string>, at the point of definition of the std::basic_string template
the declaration of the std::allocator template must be in scope. All
current implementations simply include <memory> from within <string>,
either directly or indirectly, to bring the declaration of
std::allocator into scope.
</p>
<p>
Additionally, however, some implementation also include <istream> and
<ostream> at the top of <string> to bring the declarations of
std::basic_istream and std::basic_ostream into scope (which are needed
in order to implement the string inserter and extractor operators
(21.3.7.9 [lib.string.io])). Other implementations only include
<iosfwd>, since strictly speaking, only the declarations and not the
full definitions are necessary.
</p>
<p>
Obviously, it is possible to implement <string> without actually
providing the full definitions of all the templates std::basic_string
uses (std::allocator, std::basic_istream, and std::basic_ostream).
Furthermore, not only is it possible, doing so is likely to have a
positive effect on compile-time efficiency.
</p>
<p>
But while it may seem perfectly reasonable to expect a program that uses
the std::basic_string insertion and extraction operators to also
explicitly include <istream> or <ostream>, respectively, it doesn't seem
reasonable to also expect it to explicitly include <memory>. Since
what's reasonable and what isn't is highly subjective one would expect
the standard to specify what can and what cannot be assumed.
Unfortunately, that isn't the case.
</p>
<p>The examples below demonstrate the issue.</p>
<p>Example 1:</p>
<p>It is not clear whether the following program is complete:</p>
<pre>#include <string>
extern std::basic_ostream<char> &strm;
int main () {
strm << std::string ("Hello, World!\n");
}
</pre>
<p>or whether one must explicitly include <memory> or
<ostream> (or both) in addition to <string> in order for
the program to compile.</p>
<p>Example 2:</p>
<p>Similarly, it is unclear whether the following program is complete:</p>
<pre>#include <istream>
extern std::basic_iostream<char> &strm;
int main () {
strm << "Hello, World!\n";
}
</pre>
<p>
or whether one needs to explicitly include <ostream>, and
perhaps even other headers containing the definitions of other
required templates:</p>
<pre>#include <ios>
#include <istream>
#include <ostream>
#include <streambuf>
extern std::basic_iostream<char> &strm;
int main () {
strm << "Hello, World!\n";
}
</pre>
<p>Example 3:</p>
<p>Likewise, it seems unclear whether the program below is complete:</p>
<pre>#include <iterator>
bool foo (std::istream_iterator<int> a, std::istream_iterator<int> b)
{
return a == b;
}
int main () { }
</pre>
<p>or whether one should be required to include <istream>.</p>
<p>There are many more examples that demonstrate this lack of a
requirement. I believe that in a good number of cases it would be
unreasonable to require that a program explicitly include all the
headers necessary for a particular template to be specialized, but I
think that there are cases such as some of those above where it would
be desirable to allow implementations to include only as much as
necessary and not more.</p>

<p>The portability problem is real. A program that works correctly on

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
When both grouping and showbase are active and the basefield is octal,
does the leading 0 participate in the grouping or not? For example,
should one format as: 0,123,456 or 0123,456?
</p>
<p>
An analogy can be drawn with hexadecimal. It appears that 0x123,456 is
preferred over 0x,123,456. However, this analogy is not universally
accepted to apply to the octal base. The standard is not clear on how
to format (or parse) in this manner.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Insert into 22.4.3.1.2 [facet.numpunct.virtuals] paragraph 3, just before the last
sentence:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
The leading hexadecimal base specifier "0x" does not participate in
grouping. The leading '0' octal base specifier may participate in
grouping. It is unspecified if the leading '0' participates in
formatting octal numbers. In parsing octal numbers, the implementation
is encouraged to accept both the leading '0' participating in the
grouping, and not participating (e.g. 0123,456 or 0,123,456).
</p></blockquote>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>
The current behavior may be unspecified, but it's not clear that it
matters. This is an obscure corner case, since grouping is usually
intended for the benefit of humans and oct/hex prefixes are usually
intended for the benefit of machines. There is not a strong enough
consensus in the LWG for action.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The current wording of 20.2.2 [lib.pairs] p6 precludes the use of
operator< on any pair type which contains a pointer.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>In 20.3.4 [pairs] paragraph 6, replace:</p>
<pre> Returns: x.first < y.first || (!(y.first < x.first) && x.second <
y.second).
</pre>
<p>With:</p>
<pre> Returns: std::less<T1>()( x.first, y.first ) ||
(!std::less<T1>()( y.first, x.first) &&
std::less<T2>()( x.second, y.second ) )
</pre>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>This is an instance of a much more general problem. If we want
operator< to translate to std::less for pairs of pointers, where
do we draw the line? The same issue applies to individual
pointers, smart pointer wrappers, std::vector<T*>, and so
on.</p>
<p>Andy Koenig suggests that the real issue here is that we aren't
distinguishing adequately between two different orderings, a
"useful ordering" and a "canonical ordering" that's used just
because we sometimes need <i>some</i> ordering without caring much
which ordering it is. Another example of the later is typeinfo's

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>See c++std-lib-9006 and c++std-lib-9007. This issue is taken
verbatim from -9007.</p>
<p>
The core language feature allowing definition of operator&() applied
to any non-builtin type makes that operator often unsafe to use in
implementing libraries, including the Standard Library. The result
is that many library facilities fail for legal user code, such as
the fragment</p>
<pre> class A { private: A* operator&(); };
std::vector<A> aa;
class B { };
B* operator&(B&) { return 0; }
std::vector<B> ba;
</pre>
<p>
In particular, the requirements table for Allocator (Table 32) specifies
no semantics at all for member address(), and allocator<>::address is
defined in terms of unadorned operator &.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
In 20.6.1.1, Change the definition of allocator<>::address from:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Returns: &x
</p></blockquote>
<p>to:</p>
<p>
Returns: The value that the built in operator&(x) would return if not
overloaded.
</p>
<p>
In 20.1.6, Table 32, add to the Notes column of the a.address(r) and
a.address(s) lines, respectively:
</p>
<pre> allocator<T>::address(r)
allocator<T>::address(s)
</pre>
<p>In addition, in clause 17.4.1.1, add a statement:</p>
<blockquote><p>
The Standard Library does not apply operator& to any type for which
operator& may be overloaded.
</p></blockquote>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>The LWG believes both examples are ill-formed. The contained type
is required to be CopyConstructible (20.2.1 [utility.arg.requirements]), and that
includes the requirement that &t return the usual types and
values. Since allocators are intended to be used in conjunction with
containers, and since the CopyConstructible requirements appear to
have been written to deal with the concerns of this issue, the LWG
feels it is NAD unless someone can come up with a well-formed example
exhibiting a problem.</p>
<p>It may well be that the CopyConstructible requirements are too
restrictive and that either the container requirements or the
CopyConstructive requirements should be relaxed, but that's a far
larger issue. Marking this issue as "future" as a pointer to that
larger issue.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The class template <tt>std::pair</tt> defines a template ctor (20.2.2, p4) but
no template assignment operator. This may lead to inefficient code since
assigning an object of <tt>pair<C, D></tt> to <tt>pair<A, B></tt>
where the types <tt>C</tt> and <tt>D</tt> are distinct from but convertible to
<tt>A</tt> and <tt>B</tt>, respectively, results in a call to the template copy
ctor to construct an unnamed temporary of type <tt>pair<A, B></tt>
followed by an ordinary (perhaps implicitly defined) assignment operator,
instead of just a straight assignment.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Add the following declaration to the definition of <tt>std::pair</tt>:
</p>
<pre> template<class U, class V>
pair& operator=(const pair<U, V> &p);

<p>
And also add a paragraph describing the effects of the function template to the

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>What should the following program print?</p>
<pre> #include <locale>
#include <iostream>
class my_ctype : public std::ctype<char>
{
typedef std::ctype<char> base;
public:
my_ctype(std::size_t refs = 0) : base(my_table, false, refs)
{
std::copy(base::classic_table(), base::classic_table() + base::table_size,
my_table);
my_table[(unsigned char) '_'] = (base::mask) (base::print | base::space);
}
private:
mask my_table[base::table_size];
};
int main()
{
my_ctype ct;
std::cout << "isspace: " << ct.is(std::ctype_base::space, '_') << " "
<< "isalpha: " << ct.is(std::ctype_base::alpha, '_') << std::endl;
}
</pre>
<p>The goal is to create a facet where '_' is treated as whitespace.</p>
<p>On gcc 3.0, this program prints "isspace: 1 isalpha: 0". On
Microsoft C++ it prints "isspace: 1 isalpha: 1".</p>
<p>
I believe that both implementations are legal, and the standard does not
give enough guidance for users to be able to use std::ctype's
protected interface portably.</p>
<p>
The above program assumes that ctype_base::mask enumerators like
<tt>space</tt> and <tt>print</tt> are disjoint, and that the way to
say that a character is both a space and a printing character is to or
those two enumerators together. This is suggested by the "exposition
only" values in 22.4.1 [category.ctype], but it is nowhere specified in
normative text. An alternative interpretation is that the more
specific categories subsume the less specific. The above program
gives the results it does on the Microsoft compiler because, on that
compiler, <tt>print</tt> has all the bits set for each specific
printing character class.
</p>
<p>From the point of view of std::ctype's public interface, there's no
important difference between these two techniques. From the point of
view of the protected interface, there is. If I'm defining a facet
that inherits from std::ctype<char>, I'm the one who defines the
value that table()['a'] returns. I need to know what combination of
mask values I should use. This isn't so very esoteric: it's exactly
why std::ctype has a protected interface. If we care about users
being able to write their own ctype facets, we have to give them a
portable way to do it.

<p>Issue <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#339">339</a> is related, but not identical. The
proposed resolution if issue <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#339">339</a> says that
ctype_base::mask must be a bitmask type. It does not say that the
ctype_base::mask elements are bitmask elements, so it doesn't
directly affect this issue.</p>
<p>More comments from Benjamin Kosnik, who believes that
that C99 compatibility essentially requires what we're
calling option 1 below.</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>I think the C99 standard is clear, that isspace -> !isalpha.

using namespace std;
my_ctype ct;
cout << "isspace: " << ct.is(ctype_base::space, '_') << endl;
cout << "isprint: " << ct.is(ctype_base::print, '_') << endl;
// ISO C99, isalpha iff upper | lower set, and !space.
// 7.5, p 193
// -> looks like g++ behavior is correct.
// 356 -> bitmask elements are required for ctype_base
// 339 -> bitmask type required for mask
cout << "isalpha: " << ct.is(ctype_base::alpha, '_') << endl;
}
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>Informally, we have three choices:</p>
<ol>
<li>Require that the enumerators are disjoint (except for alnum and
graph)</li>
<li>Require that the enumerators are not disjoint, and specify which
of them subsume which others. (e.g. mandate that lower includes alpha
and print)</li>
<li>Explicitly leave this unspecified, which the result that the above
program is not portable.</li>
</ol>
<p>Either of the first two options is just as good from the standpoint
of portability. Either one will require some implementations to
change.</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>The LWG agrees that this is a real ambiguity, and that both
interpretations are conforming under the existing standard. However,
there's no evidence that it's causing problems for real users. Users
who want to define ctype facets portably can test the ctype_base masks
to see which interpretation is being used.</p>

<h3><a name="357"></a>357. <cmath> float functions cannot return HUGE_VAL</h3>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The float versions of the math functions have no meaningful value to return
for a range error. The long double versions have a value they can return,
but it isn't necessarily the most reasonable value.
</p>
<p>
Section 26.5 [lib.c.math], paragraph 5, says that C++ "adds float and long
double overloaded versions of these functions, with the same semantics,"
referring to the math functions from the C90 standard.
</p>
<p>
The C90 standard, in section 7.5.1, paragraph 3, says that functions return
"the value of the macro HUGE_VAL" when they encounter a range error.
Section 7.5, paragraph 2, defines HUGE_VAL as a macro that "expands to a
positive double expression, not necessarily representable as a float."
</p>
<p>
Therefore, the float versions of the math functions have no way to
signal a range error. <i>[Curaçao: The LWG notes that this isn't
strictly correct, since errno is set.]</i> The semantics require that they
return HUGE_VAL, but they cannot because HUGE_VAL might not be
representable as a float.
</p>
<p>
The problem with long double functions is less severe because HUGE_VAL is
representable as a long double. On the other hand, it might not be a "huge"
long double value, and might fall well within the range of normal return
values for a long double function. Therefore, it does not make sense for a
long double function to return a double (HUGE_VAL) for a range error.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>Curaçao: C99 was faced with a similar problem, which they fixed by
adding HUGE_VALF and HUGE_VALL in addition to HUGE_VAL.</p>
<p>C++ must also fix, but it should be done in the context of the
general C99 based changes to C++, not via DR. Thus the LWG in Curaçao
felt the resolution should be NAD, FUTURE, but the issue is being held
open for one more meeting to ensure LWG members not present during the
discussion concur.</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>Will be fixed as part of more general work in the TR.</p>

22.2.2.2.2, p12 specifies that <tt>thousands_sep</tt> is to be inserted only
for integral types (issue 282 suggests that this should be done for
all arithmetic types).
</p>
<p>
22.2.2.1.2, p12 requires that grouping be checked for all extractors
including that for <tt>void*</tt>.
</p>
<p>
I don't think that's right. <tt>void*</tt> values should not be checked for
grouping, should they? (Although if they should, then <tt>num_put</tt> needs
to write them out, otherwise their extraction will fail.)
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Change the first sentence of 22.2.2.2.2, p12 from
</p>
<blockquote><p>
Digit grouping is checked. That is, the positions of discarded
separators is examined for consistency with
use_facet<numpunct<charT> >(loc).grouping().
If they are not consistent then ios_base::failbit is assigned

</p></blockquote>
<p>to</p>
<blockquote><p>
Except for conversions to void*, digit grouping is checked...
</p></blockquote>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>This would be a change: as it stands, the standard clearly
specifies that grouping applies to void*. A survey of existing
practice shows that most existing implementations do that, as they
should.</p>

The following member functions are declared const, yet return non-const
pointers. We believe they are should be changed, because they allow code
that may surprise the user. See document N1360 for details and
rationale.
</p>
<p><i>[Santa Cruz: the real issue is that we've got const member
functions that return pointers to non-const, and N1360 proposes
replacing them by overloaded pairs. There isn't a consensus about
whether this is a real issue, since we've never said what our
constness policy is for iostreams. N1360 relies on a distinction
between physical constness and logical constness; that distinction, or
those terms, does not appear in the standard.]</i></p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
remove_copy and remove_copy_if (25.3.8 [alg.remove]) permit their
input range to be marked with Input Iterators. However, since two
operations are required against the elements to copy (comparison and
assigment), when the input range uses Input Iterators, a temporary
copy must be taken to avoid dereferencing the iterator twice. This
therefore requires the value type of the InputIterator to be
CopyConstructible. If the iterators are at least Forward Iterators,
then the iterator can be dereferenced twice, or a reference to the
result maintained, so the temporary is not required.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Add "If InputIterator does not meet the requirements of forward
iterator, then the value type of InputIterator must be copy
constructible. Otherwise copy constructible is not required." to
25.3.8 [alg.remove] paragraph 6.
</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>The assumption is that an input iterator can't be dereferenced
twice. There's no basis for that assumption in the Standard.</p>

<p>Paragraph 3 under clause 17.6.4.11 [res.on.exception.handling], Restrictions on
Exception Handling, states that "Any other functions defined in the
C++ Standard Library that do not have an exception-specification may
throw implementation-defined exceptions unless otherwise specified."
This statement is followed by a reference to footnote 178 at the
bottom of that page which states, apparently in reference to the C++
Standard Library, that "Library implementations are encouraged (but
not required) to report errors by throwing exceptions from (or derived
from) the standard exceptions."</p>

<p>
In section 22.4.6.3.1 [locale.moneypunct.members], frac_digits() returns type
"int". This implies that frac_digits() might return a negative value,
but a negative value is nonsensical. It should return "unsigned".
</p>
<p>
Similarly, in section 22.4.6.3.2 [locale.moneypunct.virtuals], do_frac_digits()
should return "unsigned".

<p>Regardless of whether the return value is int or unsigned, it's
always conceivable that frac_digits might return a nonsensical

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
I think there is a problem with 22.1.1, p6 which says that
</p>
<pre> -6- An instance of locale is immutable; once a facet reference
is obtained from it, that reference remains usable as long
as the locale value itself exists.
</pre>
<p>
and 22.1.1.2, p4:
</p>
<pre> const locale& operator=(const locale& other) throw();
-4- Effects: Creates a copy of other, replacing the current value.
</pre>
<p>
How can a reference to a facet obtained from a locale object remain
valid after an assignment that clearly must replace all the facets
in the locale object? Imagine a program such as this

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
It seems that the descriptions of codecvt do_in() and do_out() leave
sufficient room for interpretation so that two implementations of
codecvt may not work correctly with the same filebuf. Specifically,
the following seems less than adequately specified:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
the conditions under which the functions terminate
</li>
<li>
precisely when the functions return ok
</li>
<li>
precisely when the functions return partial
</li>
<li>
the full set of conditions when the functions return error
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
22.4.1.4.2 [locale.codecvt.virtuals], p2 says this about the effects of the
function: ...Stops if it encounters a character it cannot
convert... This assumes that there *is* a character to
convert. What happens when there is a sequence that doesn't form a
valid source character, such as an unassigned or invalid UNICODE
character, or a sequence that cannot possibly form a character
(e.g., the sequence "\xc0\xff" in UTF-8)?
</li>
<li>
Table 53 says that the function returns codecvt_base::ok
to indicate that the function(s) "completed the conversion."
Suppose that the source sequence is "\xc0\x80" in UTF-8,
with from pointing to '\xc0' and (from_end==from + 1).
It is not clear whether the return value should be ok
or partial (see below).
</li>
<li>
Table 53 says that the function returns codecvt_base::partial
if "not all source characters converted." With the from pointers
set up the same way as above, it is not clear whether the return
value should be partial or ok (see above).
</li>
<li>
Table 53, in the row describing the meaning of error mistakenly
refers to a "from_type" character, without the symbol from_type
having been defined. Most likely, the word "source" character
is intended, although that is not sufficient. The functions
may also fail when they encounter an invalid source sequence
that cannot possibly form a valid source character (e.g., as
explained in bullet 1 above).
</li>
</ol>
<p>
Finally, the conditions described at the end of 22.4.1.4.2 [locale.codecvt.virtuals], p4 don't seem to be possible:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
"A return value of partial, if (from_next == from_end),
indicates that either the destination sequence has not
absorbed all the available destination elements, or that
additional source elements are needed before another
destination element can be produced."
</p></blockquote>
<p>
If the value is partial, it's not clear to me that (from_next
==from_end) could ever hold if there isn't enough room
in the destination buffer. In order for (from_next==from_end) to
hold, all characters in that range must have been successfully
converted (according to 22.4.1.4.2 [locale.codecvt.virtuals], p2) and since there are no
further source characters to convert, no more room in the
destination buffer can be needed.
</p>
<p>
It's also not clear to me that (from_next==from_end) could ever
hold if additional source elements are needed to produce another
destination character (not element as incorrectly stated in the
text). partial is returned if "not all source characters have
been converted" according to Table 53, which also implies that
(from_next==from) does NOT hold.
</p>
<p>
Could it be that the intended qualifying condition was actually
(from_next != from_end), i.e., that the sentence was supposed
to read
</p>
<blockquote><p>
"A return value of partial, if (from_next != from_end),..."
</p></blockquote>
<p>
which would make perfect sense, since, as far as I understand it,
partial can only occur if (from_next != from_end)?
</p>
<p><i>[Lillehammer: Defer for the moment, but this really needs to be
fixed. Right now, the description of codecvt is too vague for it to
be a useful contract between providers and clients of codecvt
facets. (Note that both vendors and users can be both providers and
clients of codecvt facets.) The major philosophical issue is whether
the standard should only describe mappings that take a single wide
character to multiple narrow characters (and vice versa), or whether
it should describe fully general N-to-M conversions. When the
original standard was written only the former was contemplated, but
today, in light of the popularity of utf8 and utf16, that doesn't
seem sufficient for C++0x. Bill supports general N-to-M conversions;
we need to make sure Martin and Howard agree.]</i></p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Many function templates have parameters that are passed by value;
a typical example is <tt>find_if</tt>'s <i>pred</i> parameter in
25.2.5 [alg.find]. Are the corresponding template parameters
(<tt>Predicate</tt> in this case) implicitly required to be
CopyConstructible, or does that need to be spelled out explicitly?
</p>
<p>
This isn't quite as silly a question as it might seem to be at first
sight. If you call <tt>find_if</tt> in such a way that template
argument deduction applies, then of course you'll get call by value
and you need to provide a copy constructor. If you explicitly provide
the template arguments, however, you can force call by reference by
writing something like <tt>find_if<my_iterator,
my_predicate&></tt>. The question is whether implementation
are required to accept this, or whether this is ill-formed because
my_predicate& is not CopyConstructible.
</p>
<p>
The scope of this problem, if it is a problem, is unknown. Function
object arguments to generic algorithms in clauses 25 [algorithms]
and 26 [numerics] are obvious examples. A review of the whole
library is necessary.
</p>
<p><i>[
This is really two issues. First, predicates are typically passed by
value but we don't say they must be Copy Constructible. They should
be. Second: is specialization allowed to transform value arguments
into references? References aren't copy constructible, so this should
not be allowed.
]</i></p>
<p><i>[
2007-01-12, Howard: First, despite the note above, references <b>are</b>
copy constructible. They just aren't assignable. Second, this is very
closely related to <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#92">92</a> and should be consistent with that.
That issue already says that implementations are allowed to copy
function objects. If one passes in a reference, it is copyable, but
susceptible to slicing if one passes in a reference to a base. Third,
with rvalue reference in the language one only needs to satisfy
MoveConstructible to pass an rvalue "by value". Though the function
might still copy the function object internally (requiring
CopyConstructible). Finally (and fwiw), if we wanted to, it is easy to
code all of the std::algorithms such that they do not copy function
objects internally. One merely passes them by reference internally if
desired (this has been fully implemented and shipped for several years).
If this were mandated, it would reverse <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#92">92</a>, allowing
function objects to reliably maintain state. E.g. the example in <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#92">92</a> would reliably remove only the third element.
]</i></p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Recommend NAD.
</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>
Generic algorithms will be marked with concepts and these will imply a requirement
of MoveConstructible (not CopyConstructible). The signature of the function will
then precisely describe and enforce the precise requirements.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Practice with std::complex<> and the associative containers
occasionally reveals artificial and distracting issues with constructs
resembling: std::set<std::complex<double> > s;
</p>
<p>
The main reason for the above to fail is the absence of an approriate
definition for std::less<std::complex<T> >. That in turn comes from
the definition of the primary template std::less<> in terms of
operator<.
</p>
<p>
The usual argument goes as follows: Since there is no ordering over
the complex field compatible with field operations it makes little
sense to define a function operator< operating on the datatype
std::complex<T>. That is fine. However, that reasoning does not carry
over to std::less<T> which is used, among other things, by associative
containers as an ordering useful to meet complexity requirements.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The CopyConstructible requirements in Table 30 state that for an
object t of type T (where T is CopyConstructible), the expression &t
returns the address of t (with type T*). This requirement is overly
strict, in that it disallows types that overload operator& to not
return a value of type T*. This occurs, for instance, in the <a href="http://www.boost.org/libs/lambda">Boost.Lambda</a> library, where
operator& is overloaded for a Boost.Lambda function object to return
another function object.
</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre> std::vector<int> u, v;
int x;
// ...
std::transform(u.begin(), u.end(), std::back_inserter(v), _1 * x);
</pre>
<p>
_1 * x returns an unnamed function object with operator& overloaded to
not return T* , therefore rendering the std::transform call ill-formed.
However, most standard library implementations will compile this code
properly, and the viability of such binder libraries is severely hindered
by the unnecessary restriction in the CopyConstructible requirements.
</p>
<p>
For reference, the address of an object can be retrieved without using
the address-of operator with the following function template:
</p>
<pre> template <typename T> T* addressof(T& v)
{
return reinterpret_cast<T*>(
&const_cast<char&>(reinterpret_cast<const volatile char &>(v)));
}
</pre>
<p>
Note: this relates directly to library issue <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-closed.html#350">350</a>, which
will need to be reexamined if the CopyConstructible requirements
change.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Remove the last two rows of Table 30, eliminating the requirements
that &t and &u return the address of t and u, respectively.

<p>This was a deliberate design decision. Perhaps it should be

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
In section 24.2.1 [input.iterators] table 72 -
'Input Iterator Requirements' we have as a postcondition of *a:
"If a==b and (a, b) is in the domain of == then *a is equivalent to *b".
</p>
<p>
In section 24.6.3.5 [istreambuf.iterator::equal] it states that
"istreambuf_iterator::equal returns true if and only if both iterators
are at end-of-stream, or neither is at end-of-stream, <i>regardless of
what streambuf object they use</i>." (My emphasis).
</p>
<p>
The defect is that either 'equivalent' needs to be more precisely
defined or the conditions for equality in 24.6.3.5 [istreambuf.iterator::equal]
are incorrect. (Or both).
</p>
<p>Consider the following example:</p>
<pre> #include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iterator>
using namespace std;
int main() {
ifstream file1("file1.txt"), file2("file2.txt");
istreambuf_iterator<char> f1(file1), f2(file2);
cout << "f1 == f2 : " << boolalpha << (f1 == f2) << endl;
cout << "f1 = " << *f1 << endl;
cout << "f2 = " << *f2 << endl;
return 0;
}
</pre>
<p>Now assuming that neither f1 or f2 are at the end-of-stream then
f1 == f2 by 24.6.3.5 [istreambuf.iterator::equal].</p>
<p>However, it is unlikely that *f1 will give the same value as *f2 except
by accident.</p>
<p>So what does *f1 'equivalent' to *f2 mean? I think the standard should
be clearer on this point, or at least be explicit that this does not
mean that *f1 and *f2 are required to have the same value in the case
of input iterators.</p>

<p>
this DR follows the discussion on the previous thread "codecvt::do_in
not consuming external characters". It's just a clarification issue
and not a request for a change.
</p>
<p>
Can do_in()/do_out() produce output characters without consuming input
characters as a result of operation on state?
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Add a note at the end of 22.4.1.4.2 [locale.codecvt.virtuals],

</p>
<p>
[Note: As a result of operations on state, it can return ok or partial
and set from_next == from and to_next != to. --end note]
</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>
The submitter believes that standard already provides an affirmative
answer to the question. However, the current wording has induced a few
library implementors to make the incorrect assumption that
do_in()/do_out() always consume at least one internal character when
they succeed.
</p>
<p>
The submitter also believes that the proposed resolution is not in
conflict with the related issue 76. Moreover, by explicitly allowing
operations on state to produce characters, a codecvt implementation
may effectively implement N-to-M translations without violating the
"one character at a time" principle described in such issue. On a side
note, the footnote in the proposed resolution of issue 76 that
informally rules out N-to-M translations for basic_filebuf should be
removed if this issue is accepted as valid.

<h3><a name="394"></a>394. behavior of formatted output on failure</h3>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
There is a contradiction in Formatted output about what bit is
supposed to be set if the formatting fails. On sentence says it's
badbit and another that it's failbit.
</p>
<p>
27.6.2.5.1, p1 says in the Common Requirements on Formatted output
functions:
</p>
<pre> ... If the generation fails, then the formatted output function
does setstate(ios::failbit), which might throw an exception.
</pre>
<p>
27.6.2.5.2, p1 goes on to say this about Arithmetic Inserters:
</p>
<p>
... The formatting conversion occurs as if it performed the
following code fragment:
</p>
<pre> bool failed =
use_facet<num_put<charT,ostreambuf_iterator<charT,traits>
> >
(getloc()).put(*this, *this, fill(), val). failed();
... If failed is true then does setstate(badbit) ...
</pre>
<p>
The original intent of the text, according to Jerry Schwarz (see
c++std-lib-10500), is captured in the following paragraph:
</p>
<p>
In general "badbit" should mean that the stream is unusable because
of some underlying failure, such as disk full or socket closure;
"failbit" should mean that the requested formatting wasn't possible
because of some inconsistency such as negative widths. So typically
if you clear badbit and try to output something else you'll fail
again, but if you clear failbit and try to output something else
you'll succeed.
</p>
<p>
In the case of the arithmetic inserters, since num_put cannot
report failure by any means other than exceptions (in response
to which the stream must set badbit, which prevents the kind of
recoverable error reporting mentioned above), the only other
detectable failure is if the iterator returned from num_put
returns true from failed().
</p>
<p>
Since that can only happen (at least with the required iostream
specializations) under such conditions as the underlying failure
referred to above (e.g., disk full), setting badbit would seem
to be the appropriate response (indeed, it is required in
27.6.2.5.2, p1). It follows that failbit can never be directly
set by the arithmetic (it can only be set by the sentry object
under some unspecified conditions).
</p>
<p>
The situation is different for other formatted output functions
which can fail as a result of the streambuf functions failing
(they may do so by means other than exceptions), and which are
then required to set failbit.
</p>
<p>
The contradiction, then, is that ostream::operator<<(int) will
set badbit if the disk is full, while operator<<(ostream&,
char) will set failbit under the same conditions. To make the behavior
consistent, the Common requirements sections for the Formatted output
functions should be changed as proposed below.
</p>
<p><i>[Kona: There's agreement that this is a real issue. What we
decided at Kona: 1. An error from the buffer (which can be detected
either directly from streambuf's member functions or by examining a
streambuf_iterator) should always result in badbit getting set.
2. There should never be a circumstance where failbit gets set.
That represents a formatting error, and there are no circumstances
under which the output facets are specified as signaling a
formatting error. (Even more so for string output that for numeric
because there's nothing to format.) If we ever decide to make it
possible for formatting errors to exist then the facets can signal
the error directly, and that should go in clause 22, not clause 27.
3. The phrase "if generation fails" is unclear and should be
eliminated. It's not clear whether it's intended to mean a buffer
error (e.g. a full disk), a formatting error, or something else.
Most people thought it was supposed to refer to buffer errors; if
so, we should say so. Martin will provide wording.]</i></p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
While reviewing unformatted input member functions of istream
for their behavior when they encounter end-of-file during input
I found that the requirements vary, sometimes unexpectedly, and
in more than one case even contradict established practice (GNU
libstdc++ 3.2, IBM VAC++ 6.0, STLPort 4.5, SunPro 5.3, HP aCC
5.38, Rogue Wave libstd 3.1, and Classic Iostreams).
</p>
<p>
The following unformatted input member functions set eofbit if they
encounter an end-of-file (this is the expected behavior, and also
the behavior of all major implementations):
</p>
<pre> basic_istream<charT, traits>&
get (char_type*, streamsize, char_type);
</pre>
<p>
Also sets failbit if it fails to extract any characters.
</p>
<pre> basic_istream<charT, traits>&
get (char_type*, streamsize);
</pre>
<p>
Also sets failbit if it fails to extract any characters.
</p>
<pre> basic_istream<charT, traits>&
getline (char_type*, streamsize, char_type);
</pre>
<p>
Also sets failbit if it fails to extract any characters.
</p>
<pre> basic_istream<charT, traits>&
getline (char_type*, streamsize);
</pre>
<p>
Also sets failbit if it fails to extract any characters.
</p>
<pre> basic_istream<charT, traits>&
ignore (int, int_type);
</pre>
<pre> basic_istream<charT, traits>&
read (char_type*, streamsize);
</pre>
<p>
Also sets failbit if it encounters end-of-file.
</p>
<pre> streamsize readsome (char_type*, streamsize);
</pre>
<p>
The following unformated input member functions set failbit but
not eofbit if they encounter an end-of-file (I find this odd
since the functions make it impossible to distinguish a general
failure from a failure due to end-of-file; the requirement is
also in conflict with all major implementation which set both
eofbit and failbit):
</p>
<pre> int_type get();
</pre>
<pre> basic_istream<charT, traits>&
get (char_type&);
</pre>
<p>
These functions only set failbit of they extract no characters,
otherwise they don't set any bits, even on failure (I find this
inconsistency quite unexpected; the requirement is also in
conflict with all major implementations which set eofbit
whenever they encounter end-of-file):
</p>
<pre> basic_istream<charT, traits>&
get (basic_streambuf<charT, traits>&, char_type);
</pre>
<pre> basic_istream<charT, traits>&
get (basic_streambuf<charT, traits>&);
</pre>
<p>
This function sets no bits (all implementations except for
STLport and Classic Iostreams set eofbit when they encounter
end-of-file):
</p>
<pre> int_type peek ();
</pre>
<p>Informally, what we want is a global statement of intent saying
that eofbit gets set if we trip across EOF, and then we can take
away the specific wording for individual functions. A full review
is necessary. The wording currently in the standard is a mishmash,
and changing it on an individual basis wouldn't make things better.
Dietmar will do this work.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The Effects clauses for the two functions below violate the
general requirements on unformatted input functions outlined
in 27.6.1.3: they do not begin by constructing a sentry object.
Instead, they begin by calling widen ('\n'), which may throw
an exception. The exception is then allowed to propagate from
the unformatted input function irrespective of the setting of
exceptions().
</p>
<p>
Note that in light of 27.6.1.1, p3 and p4, the fact that the
functions allow exceptions thrown from widen() to propagate
may not strictly speaking be a defect (but the fact that the
functions do not start by constructing a sentry object still
is). However, since an exception thrown from ctype<charT>
::widen() during any other input operation (say, from within
a call to num_get<charT>::get()) will be caught and cause
badbit to be set, these two functions should not be treated
differently for the sake of consistency.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>
Not a defect. The standard is consistent, and the behavior required
by the standard is unambiguous. Yes, it's theoretically possible for
widen to throw. (Not that this will happen for the default ctype
facet or for most real-world replacement ctype facets.) Users who
define ctype facets that can throw, and who care about this behavior,
can use alternative signatures that don't call widen.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The Effects and Returns clauses of the do_widen() member function of
the ctype facet fail to specify the behavior of the function on failure.
That the function may not be able to simply cast the narrow character
argument to the type of the result since doing so may yield the wrong value
for some wchar_t encodings. Popular implementations of ctype<wchar_t> that
use mbtowc() and UTF-8 as the native encoding (e.g., GNU glibc) will fail
when the argument's MSB is set. There is no way for the the rest of locale
and iostream to reliably detect this failure.
</p>
<p><i>[Kona: This is a real problem. Widening can fail. It's unclear
what the solution should be. Returning WEOF works for the wchar_t
specialization, but not in general. One option might be to add a
default, like <i>narrow</i>. But that's an incompatible change.
Using <i>traits::eof</i> might seem like a good idea, but facets
don't have access to traits (a recurring problem). We could
have <i>widen</i> throw an exception, but that's a scary option;
existing library components aren't written with the assumption
that <i>widen</i> can throw.]</i></p>

<p>
The dtor of the ios_base::Init object is supposed to call flush() on the
6 standard iostream objects cout, cerr, clog, wcout, wcerr, and wclog.
This call may cause an exception to be thrown.
</p>
<p>
17.4.4.8, p3 prohibits all library destructors from throwing exceptions.
</p>
<p>
The question is: What should this dtor do if one or more of these calls
to flush() ends up throwing an exception? This can happen quite easily
if one of the facets installed in the locale imbued in the iostream
object throws.
</p>
<p><i>[Kona: We probably can't do much better than what we've got, so
the LWG is leaning toward NAD. At the point where the standard
stream objects are being cleaned up, the usual error reporting
mechanism are all unavailable. And exception from flush at this
point will definitely cause problems. A quality implementation
might reasonably swallow the exception, or call abort, or do
something even more drastic.]</i></p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The reflector thread starting with c++std-lib-11346 notes that the class
template basic_streambuf, along with basic_stringbuf and basic_filebuf,
is copy-constructible but that the semantics of the copy constructors
are not defined anywhere. Further, different implementations behave
differently in this respect: some prevent copy construction of objects
of these types by declaring their copy ctors and assignment operators
private, others exhibit undefined behavior, while others still give
these operations well-defined semantics.
</p>
<p>
Note that this problem doesn't seem to be isolated to just the three
types mentioned above. A number of other types in the library section
of the standard provide a compiler-generated copy ctor and assignment
operator yet fail to specify their semantics. It's believed that the
only types for which this is actually a problem (i.e. types where the
compiler-generated default may be inappropriate and may not have been
intended) are locale facets. See issue <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-closed.html#439">439</a>.

<p><i>[Kona: this is an issue for basic_streambuf itself and for its

the streambuf derived classes should be copyable. Howard will
write up a proposal.]</i></p>
<p><i>[Sydney: Dietmar presented a new argument against basic_streambuf
being copyable: it can lead to an encapsulation violation. Filebuf
inherits from streambuf. Now suppose you inhert a my_hijacking_buf
from streambuf. You can copy the streambuf portion of a filebuf to a
my_hijacking_buf, giving you access to the pointers into the
filebuf's internal buffer. Perhaps not a very strong argument, but
it was strong enough to make people nervous. There was weak
preference for having streambuf not be copyable. There was weak
preference for having stringbuf not be copyable even if streambuf
is. Move this issue to open for now.

A protected copy constructor and copy assignment operator do not expose encapsulation more so than it is
today as each data member of a <tt>basic_streambuf</tt> is already both readable and writable by derived

<p>
27.5.2 [lib.streambuf]: The proposed basic_streambuf copy constructor

resolution is not a change but a clarification of the current
standard.

27.7.1 [lib.stringbuf]: There are two reasonable options: A) Make
basic_stringbuf not copyable. This is likely the status-quo of
current implementations. B) Reasonable copy semantics of
basic_stringbuf can be defined and implemented. A copyable
basic_streambuf is arguably more useful than a non-copyable one. This
should be considered as new functionality and not the fixing of a
defect. If option B is chosen, ramifications from issue 432 are taken
into account.

A third party test suite tries to exercise istream::ignore(N) with
a negative value of N and expects that the implementation will treat
N as if it were 0. Our implementation asserts that (N >= 0) holds and
aborts the test.
</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>Clause 20.2.2 [allocator.requirements] paragraph 4 says that implementations
are permitted to supply containers that are unable to cope with
allocator instances and that container implementations may assume
that all instances of an allocator type compare equal. We gave
implementers this latitude as a temporary hack, and eventually we
want to get rid of it. What happens when we're dealing with
allocators that <i>don't</i> compare equal?
</p>
<p>In particular: suppose that <tt>v1</tt> and <tt>v2</tt> are both
objects of type <tt>vector<int, my_alloc></tt> and that
<tt>v1.get_allocator() != v2.get_allocator()</tt>. What happens if
we write <tt>v1.swap(v2)</tt>? Informally, three possibilities:</p>
<p>1. This operation is illegal. Perhaps we could say that an
implementation is required to check and to throw an exception, or
perhaps we could say it's undefined behavior.</p>
<p>2. The operation performs a slow swap (i.e. using three
invocations of <tt>operator=</tt>, leaving each allocator with its
original container. This would be an O(N) operation.</p>
<p>3. The operation swaps both the vectors' contents and their
allocators. This would be an O(1) operation. That is:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre> my_alloc a1(...);
my_alloc a2(...);
assert(a1 != a2);
vector<int, my_alloc> v1(a1);
vector<int, my_alloc> v2(a2);
assert(a1 == v1.get_allocator());
assert(a2 == v2.get_allocator());
v1.swap(v2);
assert(a1 == v2.get_allocator());
assert(a2 == v1.get_allocator());
</pre>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Clause 15.5.2 [except.unexpected] paragraph 1 says that "void unexpected();
is called (18.7.2) immediately after completing the stack unwinding
for the former function", but 18.7.2.4 (Effects) says that "void
unexpected(); . . . Calls the unexpected_handler function in effect
immediately after evaluating the throwexpression (18.7.2.2),". Isn't
here a contradiction: 15.5.2 requires stack have been unwound when in
void unexpected() and therefore in unexpected_handler but 18.7.2.4
claims that unexpected_handler is called "in effect immediately" after
evaluation of throw expression is finished, so there is no space left
for stack to be unwound therefore? I think the phrase "in effect
immediately" should be removed from the standard because it brings
ambiguity in understanding.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>There is no contradiction. The phrase "in effect immediately" is
just to clarify which handler is to be called.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Operations like <tt>pow</tt> and <tt>exp</tt> on
<tt>complex<T></tt> are typically implemented in terms of
operations like <tt>sin</tt> and <tt>cos</tt> on <tt>T</tt>.
Should implementations write this as <tt>std::sin</tt>, or as plain
unqualified <tt>sin</tt>?
</p>
<p>The issue, of course, is whether we want to use
argument-dependent lookup in the case where <tt>T</tt> is a
user-defined type. This is similar to the issue of valarray
transcendentals, as discussed in issue <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#226">226</a>.</p>
<p>This issue differs from valarray transcendentals in two important
ways. First, "the effect of instantiating the template
<tt>complex</tt> for types other than float, double or long double is
unspecified." (26.4.1 [complex.syn]) Second, the standard does not
dictate implementation, so there is no guarantee that a particular
real math function is used in the implementation of a particular
complex function.</p>

Slightly controversial, but by a 7-1 straw poll the LWG agreed to move

the mapping between narrow files names and files is also
implemenation defined.</p>

(1) Why just basic_filebuf, instead of also basic_fstream (and

In 24.1.5 [lib.random.access.iterators], table 76 the operational
semantics for the expression "r -= n" are defined as "return r += -n".
This means, that the expression -n must be valid, which is not the case
for unsigned types.

<h3><a name="459"></a>459. Requirement for widening in stage 2 is overspecification</h3>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>When parsing strings of wide-character digits, the standard
requires the library to widen narrow-character "atoms" and compare
the widened atoms against the characters that are being parsed.
Simply narrowing the wide characters would be far simpler, and
probably more efficient. The two choices are equivalent except in
convoluted test cases, and many implementations already ignore the
standard and use narrow instead of widen.</p>
<p>
First, I disagree that using narrow() instead of widen() would
necessarily have unfortunate performance implications. A possible
implementation of narrow() that allows num_get to be implemented
in a much simpler and arguably comparably efficient way as calling
widen() allows, i.e. without making a virtual call to do_narrow every
time, is as follows:
</p>
<pre> inline char ctype<wchar_t>::narrow (wchar_t wc, char dflt) const
{
const unsigned wi = unsigned (wc);
if (wi > UCHAR_MAX)
return typeid (*this) == typeid (ctype<wchar_t>) ?
dflt : do_narrow (wc, dflt);
if (narrow_ [wi] < 0) {
const char nc = do_narrow (wc, dflt);
if (nc == dflt)
return dflt;
narrow_ [wi] = nc;
}
return char (narrow_ [wi]);
}
</pre>
<p>
Second, I don't think the change proposed in the issue (i.e., to use
narrow() instead of widen() during Stage 2) would be at all
drastic. Existing implementations with the exception of libstdc++
currently already use narrow() so the impact of the change on programs
would presumably be isolated to just a single implementation. Further,
since narrow() is not required to translate alternate wide digit
representations such as those mentioned in issue <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#303">303</a>
to
their narrow equivalents (i.e., the portable source characters '0'
through '9'), the change does not necessarily imply that these
alternate digits would be treated as ordinary digits and accepted as
part of numbers during parsing. In fact, the requirement in 22.4.1.1.2
[locale.ctype.virtuals], p13 forbids narrow() to translate an alternate
digit character, wc, to an ordinary digit in the basic source
character set unless the expression
(ctype<charT>::is(ctype_base::digit, wc) == true) holds. This in
turn is prohibited by the C standard (7.25.2.1.5, 7.25.2.1.5, and
5.2.1, respectively) for charT of either char or wchar_t.
</p>
<p><i>[Sydney: To a large extent this is a nonproblem. As long as
you're only trafficking in char and wchar_t we're only dealing with a
stable character set, so you don't really need either 'widen' or
'narrow': can just use literals. Finally, it's not even clear whether
widen-vs-narrow is the right question; arguably we should be using
codecvt instead.]</i></p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
3.6.3 Termination spells out in detail the interleaving of static
destructor calls and calls to functions registered with atexit. To
match this behavior requires intimate cooperation between the code
that calls destructors and the exit/atexit machinery. The former
is tied tightly to the compiler; the latter is a primitive mechanism
inherited from C that traditionally has nothing to do with static
construction and destruction. The benefits of intermixing destructor
calls with atexit handler calls is questionable at best, and <i>very</i>
difficult to get right, particularly when mixing third-party C++
libraries with different third-party C++ compilers and C libraries
supplied by still other parties.
</p>
<p>
I believe the right thing to do is defer all static destruction
until after all atexit handlers are called. This is a change in
behavior, but one that is likely visible only to perverse test
suites. At the very least, we should <i>permit</i> deferred destruction
even if we don't require it.
</p>
<p><i>[If this is to be changed, it should probably be changed by CWG.
At this point, however, the LWG is leaning toward NAD. Implementing
what the standard says is hard work, but it's not impossible and
most vendors went through that pain years ago. Changing this
behavior would be a user-visible change, and would break at least
one real application.]</i></p>

destruction but not require it.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
TC1 CWG DR #84 effectively made the template<class Y> operator auto_ptr<Y>()
member of auto_ptr (20.4.5.3/4) obsolete.
</p>
<p>
The sole purpose of this obsolete conversion member is to enable copy
initialization base from r-value derived (or any convertible types like
cv-types) case:
</p>
<pre>#include <memory>
using std::auto_ptr;
struct B {};
struct D : B {};
auto_ptr<D> source();
int sink(auto_ptr<B>);
int x1 = sink( source() ); // #1 EDG - no suitable copy constructor
</pre>
<p>
The excellent analysis of conversion operations that was given in the final
auto_ptr proposal
(http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/1997/N1128.pdf)
explicitly specifies this case analysis (case 4). DR #84 makes the analysis
wrong and actually comes to forbid the loophole that was exploited by the
auto_ptr designers.
</p>
<p>
I didn't encounter any compliant compiler (e.g. EDG, GCC, BCC and VC) that
ever allowed this case. This is probably because it requires 3 user defined
conversions and in fact current compilers conform to DR #84.
</p>
<p>
I was surprised to discover that the obsolete conversion member actually has
negative impact of the copy initialization base from l-value derived
case:</p>
<pre>auto_ptr<D> dp;
int x2 = sink(dp); // #2 EDG - more than one user-defined conversion applies
</pre>
<p>
I'm sure that the original intention was allowing this initialization using
the template<class Y> auto_ptr(auto_ptr<Y>& a) constructor (20.4.5.1/4) but
since in this copy initialization it's merely user defined conversion (UDC)
and the obsolete conversion member is UDC with the same rank (for the early
overloading stage) there is an ambiguity between them.
</p>
<p>
Removing the obsolete member will have impact on code that explicitly
invokes it:
</p>
<pre>int y = sink(source().operator auto_ptr<B>());
</pre>
<p>
IMHO no one ever wrote such awkward code and the reasonable workaround for
#1 is:
</p>
<pre>int y = sink( auto_ptr<B>(source()) );
</pre>
<p>
I was even more surprised to find out that after removing the obsolete
conversion member the initialization was still ill-formed:
int x3 = sink(dp); // #3 EDG - no suitable copy constructor
</p>
<p>
This copy initialization semantically requires copy constructor which means
that both template conversion constructor and the auto_ptr_ref conversion
member (20.4.5.3/3) are required which is what was explicitly forbidden in
DR #84. This is a bit amusing case in which removing ambiguity results with
no candidates.
</p>
<p>
I also found exception safety issue with auto_ptr related to auto_ptr_ref:
</p>
<pre>int f(auto_ptr<B>, std::string);
auto_ptr<B> source2();
// string constructor throws while auto_ptr_ref
// "holds" the pointer
int x4 = f(source2(), "xyz"); // #4
</pre>
<p>
The theoretic execution sequence that will cause a leak:
</p>
<ol>
<li>call auto_ptr<B>::operator auto_ptr_ref<B>()</li>
<li>call string::string(char const*) and throw</li>
</ol>
<p>
According to 20.4.5.3/3 and 20.4.5/2 the auto_ptr_ref conversion member
returns auto_ptr_ref<Y> that holds *this and this is another defect since
the type of *this is auto_ptr<X> where X might be different from Y. Several
library vendors (e.g. SGI) implement auto_ptr_ref<Y> with Y* as member which
is much more reasonable. Other vendor implemented auto_ptr_ref as
defectively required and it results with awkward and catastrophic code:
int oops = sink(auto_ptr<B>(source())); // warning recursive on all control
paths
</p>
<p>
Dave Abrahams noticed that there is no specification saying that
auto_ptr_ref copy constructor can't throw.
</p>
<p>
My proposal comes to solve all the above issues and significantly simplify
auto_ptr implementation. One of the fundamental requirements from auto_ptr
is that it can be constructed in an intuitive manner (i.e. like ordinary
pointers) but with strict ownership semantics which yield that source
auto_ptr in initialization must be non-const. My idea is to add additional
constructor template with sole propose to generate ill-formed, diagnostic
required, instance for const auto_ptr arguments during instantiation of
declaration. This special constructor will not be instantiated for other
types which is achievable using 14.8.2/2 (SFINAE). Having this constructor
in hand makes the constructor template<class Y> auto_ptr(auto_ptr<Y> const&)
legitimate since the actual argument can't be const yet non const r-value
are acceptable.
</p>
<p>
This implementation technique makes the "private auxiliary class"
auto_ptr_ref obsolete and I found out that modern C++ compilers (e.g. EDG,
GCC and VC) consume the new implementation as expected and allow all
intuitive initialization and assignment cases while rejecting illegal cases
that involve const auto_ptr arguments.
</p>
<p>The proposed auto_ptr interface:</p>
<pre>namespace std {
template<class X> class auto_ptr {
public:
typedef X element_type;
// 20.4.5.1 construct/copy/destroy:
explicit auto_ptr(X* p=0) throw();
auto_ptr(auto_ptr&) throw();
template<class Y> auto_ptr(auto_ptr<Y> const&) throw();
auto_ptr& operator=(auto_ptr&) throw();
template<class Y> auto_ptr& operator=(auto_ptr<Y>) throw();
~auto_ptr() throw();
// 20.4.5.2 members:
X& operator*() const throw();
X* operator->() const throw();
X* get() const throw();
X* release() throw();
void reset(X* p=0) throw();
private:
template<class U>
auto_ptr(U& rhs, typename
unspecified_error_on_const_auto_ptr<U>::type = 0);
};
}
</pre>
<p>
One compliant technique to implement the unspecified_error_on_const_auto_ptr
helper class is using additional private auto_ptr member class template like
the following:
</p>
<pre>template<typename T> struct unspecified_error_on_const_auto_ptr;
template<typename T>
struct unspecified_error_on_const_auto_ptr<auto_ptr<T> const>
{ typedef typename auto_ptr<T>::const_auto_ptr_is_not_allowed type; };
</pre>
<p>
There are other techniques to implement this helper class that might work
better for different compliers (i.e. better diagnostics) and therefore I
suggest defining its semantic behavior without mandating any specific
implementation. IMO, and I didn't found any compiler that thinks otherwise,
14.7.1/5 doesn't theoretically defeat the suggested technique but I suggest
verifying this with core language experts.
</p>
<p><b>Further changes in standard text:</b></p>
<p>Remove section 20.4.5.3</p>
<p>Change 20.4.5/2 to read something like:
Initializing auto_ptr<X> from const auto_ptr<Y> will result with unspecified
ill-formed declaration that will require unspecified diagnostic.</p>
<p>Change 20.4.5.1/4,5,6 to read:</p>
<pre>template<class Y> auto_ptr(auto_ptr<Y> const& a) throw();</pre>
<p> 4 Requires: Y* can be implicitly converted to X*.</p>
<p> 5 Effects: Calls const_cast<auto_ptr<Y>&>(a).release().</p>
<p> 6 Postconditions: *this holds the pointer returned from a.release().</p>
<p>Change 20.4.5.1/10</p>
<pre>template<class Y> auto_ptr& operator=(auto_ptr<Y> a) throw();
</pre>
<p>
10 Requires: Y* can be implicitly converted to X*. The expression delete
get() is well formed.
</p>
<p>LWG TC DR #127 is obsolete.</p>
<p>
Notice that the copy constructor and copy assignment operator should remain
as before and accept non-const auto_ptr& since they have effect on the form
of the implicitly declared copy constructor and copy assignment operator of
class that contains auto_ptr as member per 12.8/5,10:
</p>
<pre>struct X {
// implicit X(X&)
// implicit X& operator=(X&)
auto_ptr<D> aptr_;
};
</pre>
<p>
In most cases this indicates about sloppy programming but preserves the
current auto_ptr behavior.
</p>
<p>
Dave Abrahams encouraged me to suggest fallback implementation in case that
my suggestion that involves removing of auto_ptr_ref will not be accepted.
In this case removing the obsolete conversion member to auto_ptr<Y> and
20.4.5.3/4,5 is still required in order to eliminate ambiguity in legal
cases. The two constructors that I suggested will co exist with the current
members but will make auto_ptr_ref obsolete in initialization contexts.
auto_ptr_ref will be effective in assignment contexts as suggested in DR
#127 and I can't see any serious exception safety issues in those cases
(although it's possible to synthesize such). auto_ptr_ref<X> semantics will
have to be revised to say that it strictly holds pointer of type X and not
reference to an auto_ptr for the favor of cases in which auto_ptr_ref<Y> is
constructed from auto_ptr<X> in which X is different from Y (i.e. assignment
from r-value derived to base).

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Today, my colleagues and me wasted a lot of time. After some time, I
found the problem. It could be reduced to the following short example:
</p>
<pre> #include <string>
int main() { std::string( 0 ); }
</pre>
<p>The problem is that the tested compilers (GCC 2.95.2, GCC 3.3.1 and
Comeau online) compile the above without errors or warnings! The
programs (at least for the GCC) resulted in a SEGV.</p>
<p>I know that the standard explicitly states that the ctor of string
requires a char* which is not zero. STLs could easily detect the above
case with a private ctor for basic_string which takes a single 'int'
argument. This would catch the above code at compile time and would not
ambiguate any other legal ctors.</p>
<p><i>[Redmond: No great enthusiasm for doing this. If we do,
however, we want to do it for all places that take <tt>charT*</tt>
pointers, not just the single-argument constructor. The other
question is whether we want to catch this at compile time (in which
case we catch the error of a literal 0, but not an expression whose
value is a null pointer), at run time, or both.
Recommend NAD. Relegate this functionality to debugging implementations.]</i></p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The standard doesn't prohibit the destructors (or any other special
functions) of containers' elements invoked from a member function
of the container from "recursively" calling the same (or any other)
member function on the same container object, potentially while the
container is in an intermediate state, or even changing the state
of the container object while it is being modified. This may result
in some surprising (i.e., undefined) behavior.
</p>
<p>Read email thread starting with c++std-lib-13637 for more.</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>Add to Container Requirements the following new paragraph:</p>
<pre> Unless otherwise specified, the behavior of a program that
invokes a container member function f from a member function
g of the container's value_type on a container object c that
called g from its mutating member function h, is undefined.
I.e., if v is an element of c, directly or indirectly calling
c.h() from v.g() called from c.f(), is undefined.
</pre>
<p><i>[Redmond: This is a real issue, but it's probably a clause 17
issue, not clause 23. We get the same issue, for example, if we
try to destroy a stream from one of the stream's callback functions.]</i></p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>
Recommend NAD. We agree this is an issue, but not a defect.
We believe that there is no wording we can put in the standard
that will cover all cases without introducing unfortunate
corner cases.

<p>24.1/3 says:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Forward iterators satisfy all the requirements of the input and
output iterators and can be used whenever either kind is specified
</p></blockquote>
<p>
The problem is that satisfying the requirements of output iterator
means that you can always assign *something* into the result of
dereferencing it. That makes almost all non-mutable forward
iterators non-conforming. I think we need to sever the refinement
relationship between forward iterator and output iterator.

<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>Yes, 24.1/3 does say that. But it's introductory material. The
precise specification is in 24.1.3, and the requrements table there is
right. We don't need to fine-tune introductory wording. (Especially
since this wording is likely to be changed as part of the iterator
overhaul.)</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The Forward Iterator requirements table contains the following:
</p>
<pre> expression return type operational precondition
semantics
========== ================== =========== ==========================
a->m U& if X is mutable, (*a).m pre: (*a).m is well-defined.
otherwise const U&
r->m U& (*r).m pre: (*r).m is well-defined.
</pre>
<p>
The first line is exactly right. The second line is wrong. Basically
it implies that the const-ness of the iterator affects the const-ness
of referenced members. But Paragraph 11 of [lib.iterator.requirements] says:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
In the following sections, a and b denote values of type const X, n
denotes a value of the difference type Distance, u, tmp, and m
denote identifiers, r denotes a value of X&, t denotes a value of
value type T, o denotes a value of some type that is writable to
the output iterator.
</p></blockquote>
<p>AFAICT if we need the second line at all, it should read the same
as the first line.</p>

<p>Nothing in the standard appears to make this program ill-formed:</p>

void* operator new( size_t s ) { return ::operator new( s ); }
// NOTE: this hides in-place and nothrow new
};
int main() {

v.push_back( C() );

to require containers to support types that define their own special

<p><i>[
Lillehammer: A container will definitely never use this overridden
operator new, but whether it will fail to compile is unclear from the
standard. Are containers supposed to use qualified or unqualified
placement new? 20.4.1.1 is somewhat relevant, but the standard
doesn't make it completely clear whether containers have to use
Allocator::construct(). If containers don't use it, the details of how
containers use placement new are unspecified. That is the real bug,
but it needs to be fixed as part of the allocator overhaul. Weak
support that the eventual solution should make this code well formed.

<p>The classes std::unary_function and std::binary_function are both
designed to be inherited from but contain no virtual functions. This
makes it too easy for a novice programmer to write code like
binary_function<int, int, int> *p = new plus<int>; delete p;</p>
<p>There are two common ways to prevent this source of undefined
behavior: give the base class a public virtual destructor, or give it
a protected nonvirtual destructor. Since unary_function and
binary_function have no other virtual functions, (note in particular
the absence of an operator()() ), it would cost too much to give them
public virtual destructors. Therefore, they should be given protected
nonvirtual destructors.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The standard says that unique(first, last) "eliminates all but the
first element from every consecutive group of equal elements" in
[first, last) and returns "the end of the resulting range". So a
postcondition is that [first, result) is the same as the old [first,
last) except that duplicates have been eliminated.
</p>
<p>What postconditions are there on the range [result, last)? One
might argue that the standard says nothing about those values, so
they can be anything. One might also argue that the standard
doesn't permit those values to be changed, so they must not be.
Should the standard say something explicit one way or the other?</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>We don't want to make many guarantees about what's in [result,
end). Maybe we aren't being quite explicit enough about not being
explicit, but it's hard to think that's a major problem.</p>

I note that given an input iterator a for type T,
then *a only has to be "convertable to T", not actually of type T.
</p>
<p>Firstly, I can't seem to find an exact definition of "convertable to T".
While I assume it is the obvious definition (an implicit conversion), I
can't find an exact definition. Is there one?</p>
<p>Slightly more worryingly, there doesn't seem to be any restriction on
the this type, other than it is "convertable to T". Consider two input
iterators a and b. I would personally assume that most people would
expect *a==*b would perform T(*a)==T(*b), however it doesn't seem that
the standard requires that, and that whatever type *a is (call it U)
could have == defined on it with totally different symantics and still
be a valid inputer iterator.</p>
<p>Is this a correct reading? When using input iterators should I write
T(*a) all over the place to be sure that the object i'm using is the
class I expect?</p>
<p>This is especially a nuisance for operations that are defined to be
"convertible to bool". (This is probably allowed so that
implementations could return say an int and avoid an unnessary
conversion. However all implementations I have seen simply return a
bool anyway. Typical implemtations of STL algorithms just write
things like <tt>while(a!=b && *a!=0)</tt>. But strictly
speaking, there are lots of types that are convertible to T but
that also overload the appropriate operators so this doesn't behave
as expected.</p>
<p>If we want to make code like this legal (which most people seem to
expect), then we'll need to tighten up what we mean by "convertible
to T".</p>
<p><i>[Lillehammer: The first part is NAD, since "convertible" is
well-defined in core. The second part is basically about pathological
overloads. It's a minor problem but a real one. So leave open for
now, hope we solve it as part of iterator redesign.]</i></p>

<p>
The standard's version of allocator::construct(pointer,
const_reference) severely limits what you can construct using this
function. Say you can construct a socket from a file descriptor. Now,
using this syntax, I first have to manually construct a socket from
the fd, and then pass the constructed socket to the construct()
function so it will just to an uninitialized copy of the socket I
manually constructed. Now it may not always be possible to copy
construct a socket eh! So, I feel that the changes should go in the
allocator::construct(), making it:
</p>
<pre> template<typename T>
struct allocator{
template<typename T1>
void construct(pointer T1 const& rt1);
};
</pre>
<p>
Now, the ctor of the class T which matches the one that takes a T1 can
be called! Doesn't that sound great?
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>NAD. STL uses copying all the time, and making it possible for
allocators to construct noncopyable objects is useless in the
absence of corresponding container changes. We might consider this
as part of a larger redesign of STL.</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>In Section 25.2.7 [lib.alg.remove], paragraphs 1 to 5 describe the
behavior of the mutating sequence operations std::remove and
std::remove_if. However, the wording does not reflect the intended
behavior [Note: See definition of intended behavior below] of these
algorithms, as it is known to the C++ community [1].
</p>
<p>1) Analysis of current wording:</p>
<p>25.2.7 [lib.alg.remove], paragraph 2:</p>
<p>Current wording says:
"Effects: Eliminates all the elements referred to by iterator i in the
range [first, last) for which the following corresponding conditions
hold: *i == value, pred(*i) != false."</p>
<p>
This sentences expresses specifically that all elements denoted by the
(original) range [first, last) for which the corresponding condition
hold will be eliminated. Since there is no formal definition of the term
"eliminate" provided, the meaning of "eliminate" in everyday language
implies that as postcondition, no element in the range denoted by
[first, last) will hold the corresponding condition on reiteration over
the range [first, last).
</p>
<p>
However, this is neither the intent [Note: See definition of intended
behavior below] nor a general possible approach. It can be easily proven
that if all elements of the original range[first, last) will hold the
condition, it is not possible to substitute them by an element for which
the condition will not hold.
</p>
<p>25.2.7 [lib.alg.remove], paragraph 3:</p>
<p>
Current wording says:
"Returns: The end of the resulting range."
</p>
<p>
The resulting range is not specified. In combination with 25.2.7
[lib.alg.remove], paragraph 2, the only reasonable interpretation of
this so-called resulting range is the range [first,last) - thus
returning always the ForwardIterator 'last' parameter.
</p>
<p>
25.2.7 [lib.alg.remove], paragraph 4:
</p>
<p>
Current wording says:
"Notes: Stable: the relative order of the elements that are not removed
is the same as their relative order in the original range"
</p>
<p>
This sentences makes use of the term "removed", which is neither
specified, nor used in a previous paragraph (which uses the term
"eliminate"), nor unamgiuously separated from the name of the algorithm.
</p>
<p>2) Description of intended behavior:</p>
<p>
For the rest of this Defect Report, it is assumed that the intended
behavior was that all elements of the range [first, last) which do not
hold the condition *i == value (std::remove) or pred(*i) != false
(std::remove_if)], call them s-elements [Note: s...stay], will be placed
into a contiguous subrange of [first, last), denoted by the iterators
[first, return value). The number of elements in the resulting range
[first, return value) shall be equal to the number of s-elements in the
original range [first, last). The relative order of the elements in the
resulting subrange[first, return value) shall be the same as the
relative order of the corresponding elements in the original range. It
is undefined whether any elements in the resulting subrange [return
value, last) will hold the corresponding condition, or not.
</p>
<p>
All implementations known to the author of this Defect Report comply
with this intent. Since the intent of the behavior (contrary to the
current wording) is also described in various utility references serving
the C++ community [1], it is not expected that fixing the paragraphs
will influence current code - unless the code relies on the behavior as
it is described by current wording and the implementation indeed
reflects the current wording, and not the intent.
</p>
<p>3) Proposed fixes:</p>
<p>Change 25.2.7 [lib.alg.remove], paragraph 2 to:</p>
<p>
"Effect: Places all the elements referred to by iterator i in the range
[first, last) for which the following corresponding conditions hold :
!(*i == value), pred(*i) == false into the subrange [first, k) of the
original range, where k shall denote a value of type ForwardIterator. It
is undefined whether any elements in the resulting subrange [k, last)
will hold the corresponding condition, or not."
</p>
<p>Comments to the new wording:</p>
<p>
a) "Places" has no special meaning, and the everyday language meaning
should fit.
b) The corresponding conditions were negated compared to the current
wording, becaue the new wording requires it.
c) The wording "of the original range" might be redundant, since any
subrange starting at 'first' and containing no more elements than the
original range is implicitly a subrange of the original range [first,
last).
d) The iterator k was introduced instead of "return value" in order to
avoid a cyclic dependency on 25.2.7/3. The wording ", where k shall
denote a value of type ForwardIterator" might be redundant, because it
follows implicitly by 25.2.7/3.
e) "Places" does, in the author's opinion, explicitly forbid duplicating
any element holding the corresponding condition in the original range
[first, last) within the resulting range [first, k). If there is doubt
this term might be not unambiguous regarding this, it is suggested that
k is specified more closely by the following wording: "k shall denote a
value of type ForwardIterator [Note: see d)] so that k - first is equal
to the number of elements in the original range [first, last) for which
the corresponding condition did hold". This could also be expressed as a
separate paragraph "Postcondition:"
f) The senctence "It is undefined whether any elements in the resulting
subrange [k, last) will hold the corresponding condition, or not." was
added consciously so the term "Places" does not imply if the original
range [first, last) contains n elements holding the corresponding
condition, the identical range[first, last) will also contain exactly n
elements holding the corresponding condition after application of the
algorithm.
</p>
<p>
Change 25.2.7 [lib.alg.remove], paragraph 3 to:
"Returns: The iterator k."
</p>
<p>
Change 25.2.7 [lib.alg.remove], paragraph 4 to:
"Notes: Stable: the relative order of the elements that are placed into
the subrange [first, return value) shall be the same as their relative
order was in the original range [first, last) prior to application of
the algorithm."
</p>
<p>
Comments to the new wording:
</p>
<p>
a) the wording "was ... prior to application of the algorithm" is used
to explicitly distinguish the original range not only by means of
iterators, but also by a 'chronological' factor from the resulting range
[first, return value). It might be redundant.
</p>
<p>

The wording of these references is not always unambiguous, and provided
examples partially contradict verbal description of the algorithms,
because the verbal description resembles the problematic wording of
ISO/IEC 14882:2003.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>In Section 25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraphs 1 to 3 describe the
behavior of the mutating sequence operation std::unique. However, the
wording does not reflect the intended behavior [Note: See definition of
intended behavior below] of these algorithms, as it is known to the C++
community [1].</p>
<p>1) Analysis of current wording:</p>
<p>25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 1:</p>
<p>
Current wording says:
"Effects: Eliminates all but the first element from every consecutive
group of equal elements referred to by the iterator i in the range
[first, last) for which the following corresponding conditions hold: *i
== *(i - 1) or pred(*i, *(i -1)) != false"
</p>
<p>
This sentences expresses specifically that all elements denoted by the
(original) range [first, last) which are not but the first element from
a consecutive group of equal elements (where equality is defined as *i
== *(i - 1) or pred(*i, *(i - 1)) ! = false) [Note: See DR 202], call
them r-elements [Note: r...remove], will be eliminated. Since there is
no formal definition of the term "eliminate" provided, it is undefined
how this "elimination" takes place. But the meaning of "eliminate" in
everyday language seems to disallow explicitly that after application of
the algorithm, any r-element will remain at any position of the range
[first, last) [2].
</p>
<p>
Another defect in the current wording concerns the iterators used to
compare two elements for equality: The current wording contains the
expression "(i - 1)", which is not covered by 25/9 [Note: See DR
submitted by Thomas Mang regarding invalid iterator arithmetic
expressions].
</p>
<p>
25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 2:
</p>
<p>Current wording says:
"Returns: The end of the resulting range."</p>
<p>
The resulting range is not specified. In combination with 25.2.8
[lib.alg.unique], paragraph 1, one reasonable interpretation (in the
author's opinion even the only possible interpretation) of this
so-called resulting range is the range [first, last) - thus returning
always the ForwardIterator 'last' parameter.
</p>
<p>2) Description of intended behavior:</p>
<p>
For the rest of this Defect Report, it is assumed that the intended
behavior was that all elements denoted by the original range [first,
last) which are the first element from a consecutive group of elements
for which the corresponding conditions: *(i-1) == *i (for the version of
unique without a predicate argument) or pred(*(i-1), *i) ! = false (for
the version of unique with a predicate argument) [Note: If such a group
of elements consists of only a single element, this is also considered
the first element] [Note: See resolutions of DR 202], call them
s-elements [Note: s...stay], will be placed into a contiguous subrange
of [first, last), denoted by the iterators [first, return value). The
number of elements in the resulting range [first, return value) shall be
equal to the number of s-elements in the original range [first, last).
Invalid iterator arithmetic expressions are expected to be resolved as
proposed in DR submitted by Thomas Mang regarding invalid iterator
arithmetic expressions. It is also assumed by the author that the
relative order of the elements in the resulting subrange [first, return
value) shall be the same as the relative order of the corresponding
elements (the s-elements) in the original range [Note: If this was not
intended behavior, the additional proposed paragraph about stable order
will certainly become obsolete].
Furthermore, the resolutions of DR 202 are partially considered.
</p>
<p>
All implementations known to the author of this Defect Report comply
with this intent [Note: Except possible effects of DR 202]. Since this
intent of the behavior (contrary to the current wording) is also
described in various utility references serving the C++ community [1],
it is not expected that fixing the paragraphs will influence current
code [Note: Except possible effects of DR 202] - unless the code relies
on the behavior as it is described by current wording and the
implementation indeed reflects the current wording, and not the intent.
</p>
<p>3) Proposed fixes:</p>
<p>
Change 25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 1 to:
</p>
<p>
"Effect: Places the first element from every consecutive group of
elements, referred to by the iterator i in the range [first, last), for
which the following conditions hold: *(i-1) == *i (for the version of
unique without a predicate argument) or pred(*(i -1), *i) != false (for
the version of unique with a predicate argument), into the subrange
[first, k) of the original range, where k shall denote a value of type
ForwardIterator."
</p>
<p>Comments to the new wording:</p>
<p>
a) The new wording was influenced by the resolutions of DR 202. If DR
202 is resolved in another way, the proposed wording need also
additional review.
b) "Places" has no special meaning, and the everyday language meaning
should fit.
c) The expression "(i - 1)" was left, but is expected that DR submitted
by Thomas Mang regarding invalid iterator arithmetic expressions will
take this into account.
d) The wording "(for the version of unique without a predicate
argument)" and "(for the version of unique with a predicate argument)"
was added consciously for clarity and is in resemblence with current
23.2.2.4 [lib.list.ops], paragraph 19. It might be considered redundant.
e) The wording "of the original range" might be redundant, since any
subrange starting at first and containing no more elements than the
original range is implicitly a subrange of the original range [first,
last).
f) The iterator k was introduced instead of "return value" in order to
avoid a cyclic dependency on 25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 2. The
wording ", where k shall denote a value of type ForwardIterator" might
be redundant, because it follows implicitly by 25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique],
paragraph 2.
g) "Places" does, in the author's opinion, explicitly forbid duplicating
any s-element in the original range [first, last) within the resulting
range [first, k). If there is doubt this term might be not unambiguous
regarding this, it is suggested that k is specified more closely by the
following wording: "k shall denote a value of type ForwardIterator
[Note: See f)] so that k - first is equal to the number of elements in
the original range [first, last) being the first element from every
consecutive group of elements for which the corresponding condition did
hold". This could also be expressed as a separate paragraph
"Postcondition:".
h) If it is considered that the wording is unclear whether it declares
the element of a group which consists of only a single element
implicitly to be the first element of this group [Note: Such an
interpretation could eventually arise especially in case last - first ==
1] , the following additional sentence is proposed: "If such a group of
elements consists of only a single element, this element is also
considered the first element."
</p>
<p>
Change 25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 2 to:
"Returns: The iterator k."
</p>
<p>
Add a separate paragraph "Notes:" as 25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph
2a or 3a, or a separate paragraph "Postcondition:" before 25.2.8
[lib.alg.unique], paragraph 2 (wording inside {} shall be eliminated if
the preceding expressions are used, or the preceding expressions shall
be eliminated if wording inside {} is used):
</p>
<p>
"Notes:{Postcondition:} Stable: the relative order of the elements that
are placed into the subrange [first, return value {k}) shall be the same
as their relative order was in the original range [first, last) prior to
application of the algorithm."
</p>
<p>Comments to the new wording:</p>
<p>
a) It is assumed by the author that the algorithm was intended to be
stable.
In case this was not the intent, this paragraph becomes certainly
obsolete.
b) The wording "was ... prior to application of the algorithm" is used
to explicitly distinguish the original range not only by means of
iterators, but also by a 'chronological' factor from the resulting range
[first, return value). It might be redundant.

non-r-element], since all r-elements are "eliminated".
</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>In Section 23.3.4.4 [list.ops], paragraphs 19 to 21 describe the
behavior of the std::list<T, Allocator>::unique operation. However, the
current wording is defective for various reasons.</p>
<p>
1) Analysis of current wording:
</p>
<p>23.3.4.4 [list.ops], paragraph 19:</p>
<p>
Current wording says:
"Effects: Eliminates all but the first element from every consecutive
group of equal elements referred to by the iterator i in the range
[first + 1, last) for which *i == *(i - 1) (for the version of unique
with no argument) or pred(*i, *(i -1)) (for the version of unique with a
predicate argument) holds."</p>
<p>
This sentences makes use of the undefined term "Eliminates". Although it
is, to a certain degree, reasonable to consider the term "eliminate"
synonymous with "erase", using "Erase" in the first place, as the
wording of 23.3.4.4 [list.ops], paragraph 15 does, would be clearer.</p>
<p>
The range of the elements referred to by iterator i is "[first + 1,
last)". However, neither "first" nor "last" is defined.</p>
<p>
The sentence makes three times use of iterator arithmetic expressions (
"first + 1", "*i == *(i - 1)", "pred(*i, *(i -1))" ) which is not
defined for bidirectional iterator [see DR submitted by Thomas Mang
regarding invalid iterator arithmetic expressions].</p>
<p>
The same problems as pointed out in DR 202 (equivalence relation / order
of arguments for pred()) apply to this paragraph.</p>
<p>
23.3.4.4 [list.ops], paragraph 20:
</p>
<p>
Current wording says:
"Throws: Nothing unless an exception in thrown by *i == *(i-1) or
pred(*i, *(i - 1))"</p>
<p>
The sentence makes two times use of invalid iterator arithmetic
expressions ( "*i == *(i - 1)", "pred(*i, *(i -1))" ).
</p>
<p>
[Note: Minor typos: "in" / missing dot at end of sentence.]
</p>
<p>
23.3.4.4 [list.ops], paragraph 21:</p>
<p>
Current wording says:
"Complexity: If the range (last - first) is not empty, exactly (last -
first) - 1 applications of the corresponding predicate, otherwise no
application of the predicate.</p>
<p>
See DR 315 regarding "(last - first)" not yielding a range.</p>
<p>
Invalid iterator arithmetic expression "(last - first) - 1" left .</p>
<p>2) Description of intended behavior:</p>
<p>
For the rest of this Defect Report, it is assumed that "eliminate" is
supposed to be synonymous to "erase", that "first" is equivalent to an
iterator obtained by a call to begin(), "last" is equivalent to an
iterator obtained by a call to end(), and that all invalid iterator
arithmetic expressions are resolved as described in DR submitted by
Thomas Mang regarding invalid iterator arithmetic expressions.</p>
<p>
Furthermore, the resolutions of DR 202 are considered regarding
equivalence relation and order of arguments for a call to pred.</p>
<p>
All implementations known to the author of this Defect Report comply
with these assumptions, apart from the impact of the alternative
resolution of DR 202. Except for the changes implied by the resolutions
of DR 202, no impact on current code is expected.</p>
<p>
3) Proposed fixes:</p>
<p>
Change 23.3.4.4 [list.ops], paragraph 19 to:</p>
<p>
"Effect: Erases all but the first element from every consecutive group
of elements, referred to by the iterator i in the range [begin(),
end()), for which the following conditions hold: *(i-1) == *i (for the
version of unique with no argument) or pred(*(i-1), *i) != false (for
the version of unique with a predicate argument)."</p>
<p>
Comments to the new wording:</p>
<p>
a) The new wording was influenced by DR 202 and the resolutions
presented there. If DR 202 is resolved in another way, the proposed
wording need also additional review.
b) "Erases" refers in the author's opinion unambiguously to the member
function "erase". In case there is doubt this might not be unamgibuous,
a direct reference to the member function "erase" is suggested [Note:
This would also imply a change of 23.3.4.4 [list.ops], paragraph
15.].
c) The expression "(i - 1)" was left, but is expected that DR submitted
by Thomas Mang regarding invalid iterator arithmetic expressions will
take this into account.
d) The wording "(for the version of unique with no argument)" and "(for
the version of unique with a predicate argument)" was kept consciously
for clarity.
e) "begin()" substitutes "first", and "end()" substitutes "last". The
range need adjustment from "[first + 1, last)" to "[begin(), end())" to
ensure a valid range in case of an empty list.
f) If it is considered that the wording is unclear whether it declares
the element of a group which consists of only a single element
implicitly to be the first element of this group [Note: Such an
interpretation could eventually arise especially in case size() == 1] ,
the following additional sentence is proposed: "If such a group of
elements consists of only a single element, this element is also
considered the first element."</p>
<p>
Change 23.3.4.4 [list.ops], paragraph 20 to:</p>
<p>
"Throws: Nothing unless an exception is thrown by *(i-1) == *i or
pred(*(i-1), *i)."</p>
<p>
Comments to the new wording:</p>
<p>
a) The wording regarding the conditions is identical to proposed
23.3.4.4 [list.ops], paragraph 19. If 23.3.4.4 [list.ops],
paragraph 19 is resolved in another way, the proposed wording need also
additional review.
b) The expression "(i - 1)" was left, but is expected that DR submitted
by Thomas Mang regarding invalid iterator arithmetic expressions will
take this into account.
c) Typos fixed.</p>
<p>
Change 23.3.4.4 [list.ops], paragraph 21 to:</p>
<p>
"Complexity: If empty() == false, exactly size() - 1 applications of the
corresponding predicate, otherwise no applications of the corresponding
predicate."</p>
<p>
Comments to the new wording:</p>
<p>
a) The new wording is supposed to also replace the proposed resolution
of DR 315, which suffers from the problem of undefined "first" / "last".

<h3><a name="492"></a>492. Invalid iterator arithmetic expressions</h3>
<p><b>Section:</b> 17.5.1.4 [structure.specifications] <b>Status:</b> <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-active.html#NAD">NAD</a>
<b>Submitter:</b> Thomas Mang <b>Opened:</b> 2004-12-12 <b>Last modified:</b> 2009-07-15</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>Various clauses other than clause 25 make use of iterator arithmetic not
supported by the iterator category in question.
Algorithms in clause 25 are exceptional because of 25 [lib.algorithms],
paragraph 9, but this paragraph does not provide semantics to the
expression "iterator - n", where n denotes a value of a distance type
between iterators.</p>
<p>1) Examples of current wording:</p>
<p>Current wording outside clause 25:</p>
<p>
23.2.2.4 [lib.list.ops], paragraphs 19-21: "first + 1", "(i - 1)",
"(last - first)"
23.3.1.1 [lib.map.cons], paragraph 4: "last - first"
23.3.2.1 [lib.multimap.cons], paragraph 4: "last - first"
23.3.3.1 [lib.set.cons], paragraph 4: "last - first"
23.3.4.1 [lib.multiset.cons], paragraph 4: "last - first"
24.4.1 [lib.reverse.iterators], paragraph 1: "(i - 1)"
</p>
<p>
[Important note: The list is not complete, just an illustration. The
same issue might well apply to other paragraphs not listed here.]</p>
<p>None of these expressions is valid for the corresponding iterator
category.</p>
<p>Current wording in clause 25:</p>
<p>
25.1.1 [lib.alg.foreach], paragraph 1: "last - 1"
25.1.3 [lib.alg.find.end], paragraph 2: "[first1, last1 -
(last2-first2))"
25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 1: "(i - 1)"
25.2.8 [lib.alg.unique], paragraph 5: "(i - 1)"
</p>
<p>
However, current wording of 25 [lib.algorithms], paragraph 9 covers
neither of these four cases:</p>
<p>Current wording of 25 [lib.algorithms], paragraph 9:</p>
<p>
"In the description of the algorithms operator + and - are used for some
of the iterator categories for which they do not have to be defined. In
these cases the semantics of a+n is the same as that of</p>
<pre>{X tmp = a;
advance(tmp, n);
return tmp;
}
</pre>
<p>and that of b-a is the same as of return distance(a, b)"</p>
<p>
This paragrpah does not take the expression "iterator - n" into account,
where n denotes a value of a distance type between two iterators [Note:
According to current wording, the expression "iterator - n" would be
resolved as equivalent to "return distance(n, iterator)"]. Even if the
expression "iterator - n" were to be reinterpreted as equivalent to
"iterator + -n" [Note: This would imply that "a" and "b" were
interpreted implicitly as values of iterator types, and "n" as value of
a distance type], then 24.3.4/2 interfers because it says: "Requires: n
may be negative only for random access and bidirectional iterators.",
and none of the paragraphs quoted above requires the iterators on which
the algorithms operate to be of random access or bidirectional category.
</p>
<p>2) Description of intended behavior:</p>
<p>
For the rest of this Defect Report, it is assumed that the expression
"iterator1 + n" and "iterator1 - iterator2" has the semantics as
described in current 25 [lib.algorithms], paragraph 9, but applying to
all clauses. The expression "iterator1 - n" is equivalent to an
result-iterator for which the expression "result-iterator + n" yields an
iterator denoting the same position as iterator1 does. The terms
"iterator1", "iterator2" and "result-iterator" shall denote the value of
an iterator type, and the term "n" shall denote a value of a distance
type between two iterators.</p>
<p>
All implementations known to the author of this Defect Report comply
with these assumptions.
No impact on current code is expected.</p>
<p>3) Proposed fixes:</p>
<p>Change 25 [lib.algorithms], paragraph 9 to:</p>
<p>
"In the description of the algorithms operator + and - are used for some
of the iterator categories for which they do not have to be defined. In
this paragraph, a and b denote values of an iterator type, and n denotes
a value of a distance type between two iterators. In these cases the
semantics of a+n is the same as that of</p>
<pre>{X tmp = a;
advance(tmp, n);
return tmp;
}
</pre>
<p>,the semantics of a-n denotes the value of an iterator i for which the
following condition holds:
advance(i, n) == a,
and that of b-a is the same as of
return distance(a, b)".
</p>
<p>Comments to the new wording:</p>
<p>
a) The wording " In this paragraph, a and b denote values of an iterator
type, and n denotes a value of a distance type between two iterators."
was added so the expressions "b-a" and "a-n" are distinguished regarding
the types of the values on which they operate.
b) The wording ",the semantics of a-n denotes the value of an iterator i
for which the following condition holds: advance(i, n) == a" was added
to cover the expression 'iterator - n'. The wording "advance(i, n) == a"
was used to avoid a dependency on the semantics of a+n, as the wording
"i + n == a" would have implied. However, such a dependency might well
be deserved.
c) DR 225 is not considered in the new wording.
</p>
<p>
Proposed fixes regarding invalid iterator arithmetic expressions outside
clause 25:</p>
<p>
Either
a) Move modified 25 [lib.algorithms], paragraph 9 (as proposed above)
before any current invalid iterator arithmetic expression. In that case,
the first sentence of 25 [lib.algorithms], paragraph 9, need also to be
modified and could read: "For the rest of this International Standard,
...." / "In the description of the following clauses including this
...." / "In the description of the text below ..." etc. - anyways
substituting the wording "algorithms", which is a straight reference to
clause 25.
In that case, 25 [lib.algorithms] paragraph 9 will certainly become
obsolete.
Alternatively,
b) Add an appropiate paragraph similar to resolved 25 [lib.algorithms],
paragraph 9, to the beginning of each clause containing invalid iterator
arithmetic expressions.
Alternatively,
c) Fix each paragraph (both current wording and possible resolutions of
DRs) containing invalid iterator arithmetic expressions separately.
</p>

first".

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>According to [lib.associative.reqmts] table 69, the runtime comlexity
of insert(p, t) and erase(q) can be done in amortized constant time.</p>
<p>It was my understanding that an associative container could be
implemented as a balanced binary tree.</p>
<p>For inser(p, t), you 'll have to iterate to p's next node to see if t
can be placed next to p. Furthermore, the insertion usually takes
place at leaf nodes. An insert next to the root node will be done at
the left of the root next node</p>
<p>So when p is the root node you 'll have to iterate from the root to
its next node, which takes O(log(size)) time in a balanced tree.</p>
<p>If you insert all values with insert(root, t) (where root is the
root of the tree before insertion) then each insert takes O(log(size))
time. The amortized complexity per insertion will be O(log(size))
also.</p>
<p>For erase(q), the normal algorithm for deleting a node that has no
empty left or right subtree, is to iterate to the next (or previous),
which is a leaf node. Then exchange the node with the next and delete
the leaf node. Furthermore according to DR 130, erase should return
the next node of the node erased. Thus erasing the root node,
requires iterating to the next node.</p>
<p>Now if you empty a map by deleting the root node until the map is
empty, each operation will take O(log(size)), and the amortized
complexity is still O(log(size)).</p>
<p>The operations can be done in amortized constant time if iterating
to the next node can be done in (non amortized) constant time. This
can be done by putting all nodes in a double linked list. This
requires two extra links per node. To me this is a bit overkill since
you can already efficiently insert or erase ranges with erase(first,
last) and insert(first, last).</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>Only "amortized constant" in special circumstances, and we believe
that's implementable. That is: doing this N times will be O(N), not
O(log N).</p>

<blockquote><p>
"For templates greater, less, greater_equal, and less_equal,
the specializations for any pointer type yield a total order, even if
the built-in operators <, >, <=, >= do not."
</p></blockquote>
<p>
The standard should do much better than guarantee that these provide a
total order, it should guarantee that it can be used to test if memory
overlaps, i.e. write a portable memmove. You can imagine a platform
where the built-in operators use a uint32_t comparison (this tests for
overlap on this platform) but the less<T*> functor is allowed to be
defined to use a int32_t comparison. On this platform, if you use
std::less with the intent of making a portable memmove, comparison on
an array that straddles the 0x7FFFFFFF/0x8000000 boundary can give
incorrect results.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Add a footnote to 20.5.3/8 saying:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
Given a p1 and p2 such that p1 points to N objects of type T and p2
points to M objects of type T. If [p1,p1+N) does not overlap [p2,p2+M),
less returns the same value when comparing all pointers in [p1,p1+N) to
all pointers in [p2,p2+M). Otherwise, there is a value Q and a value R
such that less returns the same value when comparing all pointers in
[p1,p1+Q) to all pointers in [p2,p2+R) and an opposite value when
comparing all pointers in [p1+Q,p1+N) to all pointers in [p2+R,p2+M).
For the sake of completeness, the null pointer value (4.10) for T is
considered to be an array of 1 object that doesn't overlap with any
non-null pointer to T. less_equal, greater, greater_equal, equal_to,
and not_equal_to give the expected results based on the total ordering
semantics of less. For T of void, treat it as having similar semantics
as T of char i.e. less<cv T*>(a, b) gives the same results as less<cv
void*>(a, b) which gives the same results as less<cv char*>((cv
char*)(cv void*)a, (cv char*)(cv void*)b).
</p></blockquote>
<p>
I'm also thinking there should be a footnote to 20.5.3/1 saying that if
A and B are similar types (4.4/4), comp<A>(a,b) returns the same value
as comp<B>(a,b) (where comp is less, less_equal, etc.). But this might
be problematic if there is some really funky operator overloading going
on that does different things based on cv (that should be undefined
behavior if somebody does that though). This at least should be
guaranteed for all POD types (especially pointers) that use the
built-in comparison operators.
</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
<p>
less is already required to provide a strict weak ordering which is good enough
to detect overlapping memory situations.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
a) In 22.2.1.1 para. 2 we refer to "the instantiations required in Table
51" to refer to the facet *objects* associated with a locale. And we
almost certainly mean just those associated with the default or "C"
locale. Otherwise, you can't switch to a locale that enforces a different
mapping between narrow and wide characters, or that defines additional
uppercase characters.
</p>
<p>
b) 22.2.1.5 para. 3 (codecvt) has the same issues.
</p>
<p>
c) 22.2.1.5.2 (do_unshift) is even worse. It *forbids* the generation of
a homing sequence for the basic character set, which might very well need
one.
</p>
<p>
d) 22.2.1.5.2 (do_length) likewise dictates that the default mapping
between wide and narrow characters be taken as one-for-one.
</p>
<p>
e) 22.2.2 para. 2 (num_get/put) is both muddled and vacuous, as far as
I can tell. The muddle is, as before, calling Table 51 a list of
instantiations. But the constraint it applies seems to me to cover
*all* defined uses of num_get/put, so why bother to say so?
</p>
<p>
f) 22.2.3.1.2 para. 1(do_decimal_point) says "The required instantiations
return '.' or L'.'.) Presumably this means "as appropriate for the
character type. But given the vague definition of "required" earlier,
this overrules *any* change of decimal point for non "C" locales.
Surely we don't want to do that.
</p>
<p>
g) 22.2.3.1.2 para. 2 (do_thousands_sep) says "The required instantiations
return ',' or L','.) As above, this probably means "as appropriate for the
character type. But this overrules the "C" locale, which requires *no*
character ('\0') for the thousands separator. Even if we agree that we
don't mean to block changes in decimal point or thousands separator,
we should also eliminate this clear incompatibility with C.
</p>
<p>
h) 22.2.3.1.2 para. 2 (do_grouping) says "The required instantiations
return the empty string, indicating no grouping." Same considerations
as for do_decimal_point.
</p>
<p>
i) 22.2.4.1 para. 1 (collate) refers to "instantiations required in Table
51". Same bad jargon.
</p>
<p>
j) 22.2.4.1.2 para. 1 (do_compare) refers to "instantiations required
in Table 51". Same bad jargon.
</p>
<p>
k) 22.2.5 para. 1 (time_get/put) uses the same muddled and vacuous
as num_get/put.
</p>
<p>
l) 22.2.6 para. 2 (money_get/put) uses the same muddled and vacuous
as num_get/put.
</p>
<p>
m) 22.2.6.3.2 (do_pos/neg_format) says "The instantiations required
in Table 51 ... return an object of type pattern initialized to
{symbol, sign, none, value}." This once again *overrides* the "C"
locale, as well as any other locale."
</p>
<p>
3) We constrain the use_facet calls that can be made by num_get/put,
so why don't we do the same for money_get/put? Or for any of the
other facets, for that matter?
</p>
<p>
4) As an almost aside, we spell out when a facet needs to use the ctype
facet, but several also need to use a codecvt facet and we don't say so.

<p>
In [tr.rand.dist.iunif] the uniform_int distribution currently has a single
template parameter, IntType, used as the input_type and as the result_type
of the distribution. We believe there is no reason to conflate these types
in this way.
</p>

We recommend that there be a second template parameter to
reflect the distribution's input_type, and that the existing first template

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Unlike all other distributions in TR1, this binomial_distribution has an
implementation-defined input_type. We believe this is an unfortunate choice,
because it hinders users from writing portable code. It also hinders the
writing of compliance tests. We recommend instead:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>typedef RealType input_type;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
While this choice is somewhat arbitrary (as it was for some of the other
distributions), we make this particular choice because (unlike all other
distributions) otherwise this template would not publish its RealType
argument and so users could not write generic code that accessed this
second template parameter. In this respect, the choice is consistent with
the other distributions in TR1.
</p>
<p>
We have two reasons for recommending that a real type be specified instead.
One reason is based specifically on characteristics of binomial distribution
implementations, while the other is based on mathematical characteristics of
probability distribution functions in general.
</p>
<p>
Implementations of binomial distributions commonly use Stirling approximations
for values in certain ranges. It is far more natural to use real values to
represent these approximations than it would be to use integral values to do
so. In other ranges, implementations reply on the Bernoulli distribution to
obtain values. While TR1's bernoulli_distribution::input_type is specified as
int, we believe this would be better specified as double.
</p>
<p>
This brings us to our main point: The notion of a random distribution rests
on the notion of a cumulative distribution function, which in turn mathematically
depends on a continuous dependent variable. Indeed, such a distribution function
would be meaningless if it depended on discrete values such as integers - and this
remains true even if the distribution function were to take discrete steps.
</p>
<p>
Although this note is specifically about binomial_distribution::input_type,
we intend to recommend that all of the random distributions input_types be
specified as a real type (either a RealType template parameter, or double,
as appropriate).
</p>
<p>
Of the nine distributions in TR1, four already have this characteristic
(uniform_real, exponential_distribution, normal_distribution, and
gamma_distribution). We have already argued the case for the binomial the
remaining four distributions.
</p>
<p>
In the case of uniform_int, we believe that the calculations to produce an
integer result in a specified range from an integer in a different specified
range is best done using real arithmetic. This is because it involves a
product, one of whose terms is the ratio of the extents of the two ranges.
Without real arithmetic, the results become less uniform: some numbers become
more (or less) probable that they should be. This is, of course, undesireable
behavior in a uniform distribution.
</p>
<p>
Finally, we believe that in the case of the bernoulli_distribution (briefly
mentioned earlier), as well as the cases of the geometric_distribution and the
poisson_distribution, it would be far more natural to have a real input_type.
This is because the most natural computation involves the random number
delivered and the distribution's parameter p (in the case of bernoulli_distribution,
for example, the computation is a comparison against p), and p is already specified
in each case as having some real type.

<h3><a name="512"></a>512. Seeding subtract_with_carry_01 from a single unsigned long</h3>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Paragraph 8 specifies the algorithm by which a subtract_with_carry_01 engine
is to be seeded given a single unsigned long. This algorithm is seriously
flawed in the case where the engine parameter w (also known as word_size)
exceeds 31 [bits]. The key part of the paragraph reads:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
sets x(-r) ... x(-1) to (lcg(1)*2**(-w)) mod 1
</p></blockquote>
<p>
and so forth.
</p>
<p>
Since the specified linear congruential engine, lcg, delivers numbers with
a maximum of 2147483563 (just a shade under 31 bits), then when w is, for
example, 48, each of the x(i) will be less than 2**-17. The consequence
is that roughly the first 400 numbers delivered will be conspicuously
close to either zero or one.
</p>
<p>
Unfortunately, this is not an innocuous flaw: One of the predefined engines
in [tr.rand.predef], namely ranlux64_base_01, has w = 48 and would exhibit
this poor behavior, while the original N1378 proposal states that these
pre-defined engines are intended to be of "known good properties."

<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>

<blockquote><p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
To accompany the concept of a pseudo-random number engine as defined in Table 17,
we propose and recommend an adjunct template, engine_traits, to be declared in
[tr.rand.synopsis] as:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template< class PSRE >
class engine_traits;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
This template's primary purpose would be as an aid to generic programming involving
pseudo-random number engines. Given only the facilities described in tr1, it would
be very difficult to produce any algorithms involving the notion of a generic engine.
The intent of this proposal is to provide, via engine_traits<>, sufficient
descriptive information to allow an algorithm to employ a pseudo-random number engine
without regard to its exact type, i.e., as a template parameter.
</p>
<p>
For example, today it is not possible to write an efficient generic function that
requires any specific number of random bits. More specifically, consider a
cryptographic application that internally needs 256 bits of randomness per call:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template< class Eng, class InIter, class OutIter >
void crypto( Eng& e, InIter in, OutIter out );
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Without knowning the number of bits of randomness produced per call to a provided
engine, the algorithm has no means of determining how many times to call the engine.
</p>
<p>
In a new section [tr.rand.eng.traits], we proposed to define the engine_traits
template as:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template< class PSRE >
class engine_traits
{
static std::size_t bits_of_randomness = 0u;
static std::string name() { return "unknown_engine"; }
// TODO: other traits here
};
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Further, each engine described in [tr.rand.engine] would be accompanied by a
complete specialization of this new engine_traits template.

<p>
The last two rows of Table 16 deal with the i/o requirements of an engine,
specifying that the textual representation of an engine's state,
appropriately formatted, constitute the engine's external representation.
</p>
<p>
This seems adequate when an engine's type is known. However, it seems
inadequate in the context of generic code, where it becomes useful and
perhaps even necessary to determine an engine's type via input.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
We therefore recommend that, in each of these two rows of Table 16, the
text "textual representation" be expanded so as to read "engine name
followed by the textual representation."

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
A problem with TR1 regex is currently being discussed on the Boost
developers list. It involves the handling of case-insensitive matching
of character ranges such as [Z-a]. The proper behavior (according to the
ECMAScript standard) is unimplementable given the current specification
of the TR1 regex_traits<> class template. John Maddock, the author of
the TR1 regex proposal, agrees there is a problem. The full discussion
can be found at http://lists.boost.org/boost/2005/06/28850.php (first
message copied below). We don't have any recommendations as yet.
</p>
<p>
-- Begin original message --
</p>
<p>
The situation of interest is described in the ECMAScript specification
(ECMA-262), section 15.10.2.15:
</p>
<p>
"Even if the pattern ignores case, the case of the two ends of a range
is significant in determining which characters belong to the range.
Thus, for example, the pattern /[E-F]/i matches only the letters E, F,
e, and f, while the pattern /[E-f]/i matches all upper and lower-case
ASCII letters as well as the symbols [, \, ], ^, _, and `."
</p>
<p>
A more interesting case is what should happen when doing a
case-insentitive match on a range such as [Z-a]. It should match z, Z,
a, A and the symbols [, \, ], ^, _, and `. This is not what happens with
Boost.Regex (it throws an exception from the regex constructor).
</p>
<p>
The tough pill to swallow is that, given the specification in TR1, I
don't think there is any effective way to handle this situation.
According to the spec, case-insensitivity is handled with
regex_traits<>::translate_nocase(CharT) -- two characters are equivalent
if they compare equal after both are sent through the translate_nocase
function. But I don't see any way of using this translation function to
make character ranges case-insensitive. Consider the difficulty of
detecting whether "z" is in the range [Z-a]. Applying the transformation
to "z" has no effect (it is essentially std::tolower). And we're not
allowed to apply the transformation to the ends of the range, because as
ECMA-262 says, "the case of the two ends of a range is significant."
</p>
<p>
So AFAICT, TR1 regex is just broken, as is Boost.Regex. One possible fix
is to redefine translate_nocase to return a string_type containing all
the characters that should compare equal to the specified character. But
this function is hard to implement for Unicode, and it doesn't play nice
with the existing ctype facet. What a mess!
</p>
<p>
-- End original message --
</p>
<p><i>[
John Maddock adds:
]</i></p>
<p>
One small correction, I have since found that ICU's regex package does
implement this correctly, using a similar mechanism to the current
TR1.Regex.
</p>
<p>
Given an expression [c1-c2] that is compiled as case insensitive it:
</p>
<p>
Enumerates every character in the range c1 to c2 and converts it to it's
case folded equivalent. That case folded character is then used a key to a
table of equivalence classes, and each member of the class is added to the
list of possible matches supported by the character-class. This second step
isn't possible with our current traits class design, but isn't necessary if
the input text is also converted to a case-folded equivalent on the fly.
</p>
<p>
ICU applies similar brute force mechanisms to character classes such as
[[:lower:]] and [[:word:]], however these are at least cached, so the impact
is less noticeable in this case.
</p>
<p>
Quick and dirty performance comparisons show that expressions such as
"[X-\\x{fff0}]+" are indeed very slow to compile with ICU (about 200 times
slower than a "normal" expression). For an application that uses a lot of
regexes this could have a noticeable performance impact. ICU also has an
advantage in that it knows the range of valid characters codes: code points
outside that range are assumed not to require enumeration, as they can not
be part of any equivalence class. I presume that if we want the TR1.Regex
to work with arbitrarily large character sets enumeration really does become
impractical.
</p>
<p>
Finally note that Unicode has:
</p>
<p>
Three cases (upper, lower and title).
One to many, and many to one case transformations.
Character that have context sensitive case translations - for example an
uppercase sigma has two different lowercase forms - the form chosen depends
on context(is it end of a word or not), a caseless match for an upper case
sigma should match either of the lower case forms, which is why case folding
is often approximated by tolower(toupper(c)).
</p>
<p>
Probably we need some way to enumerate character equivalence classes,
including digraphs (either as a result or an input), and some way to tell
whether the next character pair is a valid digraph in the current locale.
</p>

Hoping this doesn't make this even more complex that it was already,

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Problem: There are a number of places in the C++ standard library where
it is possible to write what appear to be sensible ways of calling
functions, but which can cause problems in some (or all)
implementations, as they cause the values given to the function to be
changed in a way not specified in standard (and therefore not coded to
correctly work). These fall into two similar categories.
</p>
<p>
1) Parameters taken by const reference can be changed during execution
of the function
</p>
<p>
Examples:
</p>
<p>
Given std::vector<int> v:
</p>
<p>
v.insert(v.begin(), v[2]);
</p>
<p>
v[2] can be changed by moving elements of vector
</p>
<p>
Given std::list<int> l:
</p>
<p>
l.remove(*l.begin());
</p>
<p>
Will delete the first element, and then continue trying to access it.
This is particularily vicious, as it will appear to work in almost all
cases.
</p>
<p>
2) A range is given which changes during the execution of the function:
Similarly,
</p>
<p>
v.insert(v.begin(), v.begin()+4, v.begin()+6);
</p>
<p>
This kind of problem has been partly covered in some cases. For example
std::copy(first, last, result) states that result cannot be in the range
[first, last). However, does this cover the case where result is a
reverse_iterator built from some iterator in the range [first, last)?
Also, std::copy would still break if result was reverse_iterator(last +
1), yet this is not forbidden by the standard
</p>
<p>
Solution:
</p>
<p>
One option would be to try to more carefully limit the requirements of
each function. There are many functions which would have to be checked.
However as has been shown in the std::copy case, this may be difficult.
A simpler, more global option would be to somewhere insert text similar to:
</p>
<p>
If the execution of any function would change either any values passed
by reference or any value in any range passed to a function in a way not
defined in the definition of that function, the result is undefined.
</p>
<p>
Such code would have to at least cover chapters 23 and 25 (the sections
I read through carefully). I can see no harm on applying it to much of
the rest of the standard.
</p>
<p>
Some existing parts of the standard could be improved to fit with this,
for example the requires for 25.2.1 (Copy) could be adjusted to:
</p>
<p>
Requires: For each non-negative integer n < (last - first), assigning to
*(result + n) must not alter any value in the range [first + n, last).
</p>
<p>
However, this may add excessive complication.
</p>
<p>
One other benefit of clearly introducing this text is that it would
allow a number of small optimisations, such as caching values passed
by const reference.
</p>
<p>
Matt Austern adds that this issue also exists for the <tt>insert</tt> and
<tt>erase</tt> members of the ordered and unordered associative containers.

<p>
while implementing the resolution of issue 6.19 I'm noticing the
following: according to 6.3.4.3/2 (and 6.3.4.5/2), for unordered_set and
unordered_multiset:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
"The iterator and const_iterator types are both const types. It is
unspecified whether they are the same type"
</p></blockquote>
<p>
Now, according to the resolution of 6.19, we have overloads of insert
with hint and erase (single and range) both for iterator and
const_iterator, which, AFAICS, can be meaningful at the same time *only*
if iterator and const_iterator *are* in fact different types.
</p>
<p>
Then, iterator and const_iterator are *required* to be different types?
Or that is an unintended consequence? Maybe the overloads for plain
iterators should be added only to unordered_map and unordered_multimap?
Or, of course, I'm missing something?
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Add to 6.3.4.3p2 (and 6.3.4.5p2):
</p>
<p>
2 ... The iterator and const_iterator types are both <del>const</del>
<ins>constant</ins> iterator types.
It is unspecified whether they are the same type.

<blockquote>

17.4.3.8/1 says:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
Violation of the preconditions specified in a function's
Required behavior: paragraph results in undefined behavior unless the
function's Throws: paragraph specifies throwing an exception when the
precondition is violated.
</p></blockquote>
<p>
This implies that a precondition violation can lead to defined
behavior. That conflicts with the only reasonable definition of
precondition: that a violation leads to undefined behavior. Any other
definition muddies the waters when it comes to analyzing program
correctness, because precondition violations may be routinely done in
correct code (e.g. you can use std::vector::at with the full
expectation that you'll get an exception when your index is out of
range, catch the exception, and continue). Not only is it a bad
example to set, but it encourages needless complication and redundancy
in the standard. For example:
</p>
<blockquote><pre> 21 Strings library
21.3.3 basic_string capacity
void resize(size_type n, charT c);
5 Requires: n <= max_size()
6 Throws: length_error if n > max_size().

<p>
The Requires clause is entirely redundant and can be dropped. We
could make that simplifying change (and many others like it) even

<p>
The iterator constructor X(i,j) for containers as defined in 23.1.1 and
23.2.2 does only require that i and j be input iterators but
nothing is said about their associated value_type. There are three
sensible
options:
</p>
<ol>
<li>iterator's value_type is exactly X::value_type (modulo cv).</li>
<li>iterator's value_type is *implicitly* convertible to X::value_type.</li>
<li>iterator's value_type is *explicitly* convertible to X::value_type.</li>
</ol>
<p>
The issue has practical implications, and stdlib vendors have
taken divergent approaches to it: Dinkumware follows 2,
libstdc++ follows 3.
</p>
<p>
The same problem applies to the definition of insert(p,i,j) for
sequences and insert(i,j) for associative contianers, as well as
assign.

<p>
According to C.2.2.3, p1, "the macro NULL, defined in any of <clocale>,
<cstddef>, <cstdio>, <cstdlib>, <cstring>, <ctime>,
or <cwchar>." This is consistent with the C standard.
</p>
<p>
However, Table 95 in C.2 fails to mention <clocale> and <cstdlib>.
</p>
<p>
In addition, C.2, p2 claims that "The C++ Standard library provides
54 standard macros from the C library, as shown in Table 95." While
table 95 does have 54 entries, since a couple of them (including the
NULL macro) are listed more than once, the actual number of macros
defined by the C++ Standard Library may not be 54.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
I propose we add <clocale> and <cstdlib> to Table 96 and remove the
number of macros from C.2, p2 and reword the sentence as follows:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
The C++ Standard library <del>provides 54 standard macros from</del>
<ins>defines a number macros corresponding to those defined by</ins> the C
<ins>Standard</ins> library, as shown in Table 96.

<p>
The TR sneaks in two new integer types, _Longlong and _Ulonglong, in [tr.c99].
The rest of the TR should use that type. I believe this affects two places.
First, the random number requirements, 5.1.1/10-11, lists all of the types with
which template parameters named IntType and UIntType may be instantiated.
_Longlong (or "long long", assuming it is added to C++0x) should be added to the
IntType list, and UIntType (again, or "unsigned long long") should be added to
the UIntType list. Second, 6.3.2 lists the types for which hash<> is
required to be instantiable. _Longlong and _Ulonglong should be added to that
list, so that people may use long long as a hash key.

Paragraph 10 describes how a variate generator uses numbers produced by an
engine to pass to a generator. The sentence that concerns me is: "Otherwise, if
the value for engine_value_type::result_type is true and the value for
Distribution::input_type is false [i.e. if the engine produces integers and the
engine wants floating-point values], then the numbers in s_eng are divided by
engine().max() - engine().min() + 1 to obtain the numbers in s_e." Since the
engine is producing integers, both the numerator and the denominator are
integers and we'll be doing integer division, which I don't think is what we
want. Shouldn't we be performing a conversion to a floating-point type first?

<p>
Class random_device "produces non-deterministic random numbers", using some
external source of entropy. In most real-world systems, the amount of available
entropy is limited. Suppose that entropy has been exhausted. What is an
implementation permitted to do? In particular, is it permitted to block
indefinitely until more random bits are available, or is the implementation
required to detect failure immediately? This is not an academic question. On
Linux a straightforward implementation would read from /dev/random, and "When
the entropy pool is empty, reads to /dev/random will block until additional
environmental noise is gathered." Programmers need to know whether random_device
is permitted to (or possibly even required to?) behave the same way.

<p>
I'm seeing a problem with such overloads: when, _Longlong == intmax_t ==
long long we end up, essentially, with the same arguments and different
return types (lldiv_t and imaxdiv_t, respectively). Similar issue with
abs(_Longlong) and abs(intmax_t), of course.
</p>
<p>
Comparing sections 8.25 and 8.11, I see an important difference,
however: 8.25.3 and 8.25.4 carefully describe div and abs for _Longlong
types (rightfully, because not moved over directly from C99), whereas
there is no equivalent in 8.11: the abs and div overloads for intmax_t
types appear only in the synopsis and are not described anywhere, in
particular no mention in 8.11.2 (at variance with 8.25.2).

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<h4>1. The essence of the problem.</h4>
<p>
User-defined allocators without default constructor are not explicitly
supported by the standard but they can be supported just like std::vector
supports elements without default constructor.
</p>
<p>
As a result, there exist implementations that work well with such allocators
and implementations that don't.
</p>
<h4>2. The cause of the problem.</h4>
<p>
1) The standard doesn't explicitly state this intent but it should. In
particular, 20.1.5p5 explicitly state the intent w.r.t. the allocator
instances that compare non-equal. So it can similarly state the intent w.r.t.
the user-defined allocators without default constructor.
</p>
<p>
2) Some container operations are obviously underspecified. In particular,
21.3.7.1p2 tells:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template<class charT, class traits, class Allocator>
basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator> operator+(
const charT* lhs,
const basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator>& rhs
);
</pre>
<p>
Returns: <tt>basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator>(lhs) + rhs</tt>.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
That leads to the basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator>(lhs, Allocator()) call.
Obviously, the right requirement is:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
Returns: <tt>basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator>(lhs, rhs.get_allocator()) + rhs</tt>.
</p></blockquote>
<p>
It seems like a lot of DRs can be submitted on this "Absent call to
get_allocator()" topic.
</p>
<h4>3. Proposed actions.</h4>
<p>
1) Explicitly state the intent to allow for user-defined allocators without
default constructor in 20.1.5 Allocator requirements.
</p>
<p>
2) Correct all the places, where a correct allocator object is available
through the get_allocator() call but default Allocator() gets passed instead.
</p>
<h4>4. Code sample.</h4>
<p>
Let's suppose that the following memory pool is available:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>class mem_pool {
// ...
void* allocate(size_t size);
void deallocate(void* ptr, size_t size);
};
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
So the following allocator can be implemented via this pool:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>class stl_allocator {
mem_pool& pool;
public:
explicit stl_allocator(mem_pool& mp) : pool(mp) {}
stl_allocator(const stl_allocator& sa) : pool(sa.pool) {}
template <class U>
stl_allocator(const stl_allocator<U>& sa) : pool(sa.get_pool()) {}
~stl_allocator() {}
pointer allocate(size_type n, std::allocator<void>::const_pointer = 0)
{
return (n!=0) ? static_cast<pointer>(pool.allocate(n*sizeof(T))) : 0;
}
void deallocate(pointer p, size_type n)
{
if (n!=0) pool.deallocate(p, n*sizeof(T));
}
// ...
};
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Then the following code works well on some implementations and doesn't work on
another:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>typedef basic_string<char, char_traits<char>, stl_allocator<char> >
tl_string;
mem_pool mp;
tl_string s1("abc", stl_allocator<int>(mp));
printf("(%s)\n", ("def"+s1).c_str());
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
In particular, on some implementations the code can't be compiled without
default stl_allocator() constructor.
</p>
<p>
The obvious way to solve the compile-time problems is to intentionally define
a NULL pointer dereferencing default constructor
</p>
<blockquote><pre>stl_allocator() : pool(*static_cast<mem_pool*>(0)) {}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
in a hope that it will not be called. The problem is that it really gets
called by operator+(const char*, const string&) under the current 21.3.7.1p2
wording.

<p>
Currently, the Standard Library specifies only a declaration for template class
char_traits<> and requires the implementation provide two explicit
specializations: char_traits<char> and char_traits<wchar_t>. I feel the Standard
should require explicit specializations for all built-in character types, i.e.
char, wchar_t, unsigned char, and signed char.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
There are two deficiencies related to file sizes:
</p>
<ol>
<li>It doesn't appear that the Standard Library is specified in
a way that handles modern file sizes, which are often too
large to be represented by an unsigned long.</li>
<li>The std::fpos class does not currently have the ability to
set/get file positions.</li>
</ol>
<p>
The Dinkumware implementation of the Standard Library as shipped with the Microsoft compiler copes with these issues by:
</p>
<ol type="A">
<li>Defining fpos_t be long long, which is large enough to
represent any file position likely in the foreseeable future.</li>
<li>Adding member functions to class fpos. For example,
<blockquote><pre>fpos_t seekpos() const;
</pre></blockquote>
</li>
</ol>
<p>
Because there are so many types relating to file positions and offsets (fpos_t,
fpos, pos_type, off_type, streamoff, streamsize, streampos, wstreampos, and
perhaps more), it is difficult to know if the Dinkumware extensions are
sufficient. But they seem a useful starting place for discussions, and they do
represent existing practice.

See

for full discussion.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Option 1:
</p>
<p>
The problem can be eliminated by omitting the requirement that <tt>a.erase(q)</tt> return an
iterator. This is, however, in contrast with the equivalent requirements for other
standard containers.
</p>
<p>
Option 2:
</p>
<p>
<tt>a.erase(q)</tt> can be made to compute the next iterator only when explicitly requested:
the technique consists in returning a proxy object implicitly convertible to <tt>iterator</tt>, so
that
</p>
<blockquote><pre>iterator q1=a.erase(q);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
works as expected, while
</p>
<blockquote><pre>a.erase(q);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
does not ever invoke the conversion-to-iterator operator, thus avoiding the associated
computation. To allow this technique, some sections of TR1 along the line "return value
is an iterator..." should be changed to "return value is an unspecified object implicitly
convertible to an iterator..." Although this trick is expected to work transparently, it can
have some collateral effects when the expression <tt>a.erase(q)</tt> is used inside generic
code.

was discussed in Portland and the consensus was that there appears to be
no need for either change proposed in the paper. The consensus opinion
was that since the iterator could serve as its own proxy, there appears
to be no need for the change. In general, "converts to" is undesirable
because it interferes with template matching.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
C++ Standard Library templates that take an allocator as an argument
are required to call the <code>allocate()</code> and
<code>deallocate()</code> members of the allocator object to obtain
storage. However, they do not appear to be required to call any other
allocator members such as <code>construct()</code>,
<code>destroy()</code>, <code>address()</code>, and
<code>max_size()</code>. This makes these allocator members less than
useful in portable programs.
</p>
<p>
It's unclear to me whether the absence of the requirement to use these
allocator members is an unintentional omission or a deliberate
choice. However, since the functions exist in the standard allocator
and since they are required to be provided by any user-defined
allocator I believe the standard ought to be clarified to explictly
specify whether programs should or should not be able to rely on
standard containers calling the functions.
</p>
<p>
I propose that all containers be required to make use of these
functions.

<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Specifically, I propose to change 23.2 [container.requirements],
p9 as follows:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
-9- Copy constructors for all container types defined in this clause
<ins>that are parametrized on <code>Allocator</code></ins> copy
<del>an</del><ins>the</ins> allocator argument from their respective
first parameters.
All other constructors for these container types take a<del>n</del>
<ins>const</ins> <code>Allocator&</code> argument (20.1.6), an
allocator whose <code>value_type</code> is the same as the container's
<code>value_type</code>.
A copy of this argument <del>is</del><ins>shall be</ins> used for any
memory allocation <ins> and deallocation</ins> performed<del>,</del>
by these constructors and by all member functions<del>,</del> during
the lifetime of each container object. <ins>Allocation shall be
performed "as if" by calling the <code>allocate()</code> member
function on a copy of the allocator object of the appropriate type
<sup>New Footnote)</sup>, and deallocation "as if" by calling
<code>deallocate()</code> on a copy of the same allocator object of
the corresponding type.</ins>
<ins>A copy of this argument shall also be used to construct and
destroy objects whose lifetime is managed by the container, including
but not limited to those of the container's <code>value_type</code>,
and to obtain their address. All objects residing in storage
allocated by a container's allocator shall be constructed "as if" by
calling the <code>construct()</code> member function on a copy of the
allocator object of the appropriate type. The same objects shall be
destroyed "as if" by calling <code>destroy()</code> on a copy of the
same allocator object of the same type. The address of such objects
shall be obtained "as if" by calling the <code>address()</code> member
function on a copy of the allocator object of the appropriate
type.</ins>
<ins>Finally, a copy of this argument shall be used by its container
object to determine the maximum number of objects of the container's
<code>value_type</code> the container may store at the same time. The
container member function <code>max_size()</code> obtains this number
from the value returned by a call to
<code>get_allocator().max_size()</code>.</ins>
In all container types defined in this clause <ins>that are
parametrized on <code>Allocator</code></ins>, the member
<code>get_allocator()</code> returns a copy of the
<code>Allocator</code> object used to construct the
container.<sup>258)</sup>
</p>
<p>
New Footnote: This type may be different from <code>Allocator</code>:
it may be derived from <code>Allocator</code> via
<code>Allocator::rebind<U>::other</code> for the appropriate
type <code>U</code>.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
The proposed wording seems cumbersome but I couldn't think of a better
way to describe the requirement that containers use their
<code>Allocator</code> to manage only objects (regardless of their
type) that persist over their lifetimes and not, for example,
temporaries created on the stack. That is, containers shouldn't be
required to call <code>Allocator::construct(Allocator::allocate(1),
elem)</code> just to construct a temporary copy of an element, or
<code>Allocator::destroy(Allocator::address(temp), 1)</code> to
destroy temporaries.

legal to call <tt>uninitialized_copy</tt> on volatile storage is not useful. A
possible editorial change would be to put my previous sentence into a
non-normative note.
</p>
<p>
Note that the three sections starting with 20.8.13.2 [uninitialized.copy] do not
yet have concepts. Here's a first crack at the first one:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template <InputIterator InIter, OutputIterator OutIter>
requires ExplicitConvertible<HasDereference<OutIter::reference>::result,
OutIter::value_type&>
&& Convertible<OutIter::value_type*, void*>
&& ExplicitConvertible<OutIter::value_type, InIter::reference>
OutIter uninitialized_copy(InIter first, InIter last, OutIter result);
</pre>
<blockquote>
<p>
Effects:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>while (first != last) {
typedef OutIter::value_type value_type;
value_type& outRef = static_cast<value_type&>(*result++);
::new (static_cast<void*>(addressof(outRef))) value_type(*first++);
}
</pre></blockquote>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>
Notes:
</p>
<ol>
<li>This definition is actually LESS constrained than in C++03 because
there is no requirement that the result be a forward iterator.
</li>
<li>
If
OutIter returns a proxy type with an overloaded operator&, this
definition probably won't compile. Lifting this limitation while
allowing value_type to have an overloaded operator& would be hard, but
is probably possible with careful overloading. I'm not sure it's worth
it.
</li>
<li>
This definition retains the prohibition on the use of volatile types for the result.

<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
In order to allow these algorithms to operate on volatile storage I
propose to change the expression so as to make it well-formed even for
pointers to volatile types. Specifically, I propose the following
changes to clauses 20 and 24. Change 20.6.4.1, p1 to read:
</p>
<pre>
<i>Effects</i>:
typedef typename iterator_traits<ForwardIterator>::pointer pointer;
typedef typename iterator_traits<ForwardIterator>::value_type value_type;
for (; first != last; ++result, ++first)
new (static_cast<void*>(const_cast<pointer>(&*result))
value_type (*first);
</pre>
<p>
change 20.6.4.2, p1 to read
</p>
<pre>
<i>Effects</i>:
typedef typename iterator_traits<ForwardIterator>::pointer pointer;
typedef typename iterator_traits<ForwardIterator>::value_type value_type;
for (; first != last; ++result, ++first)
new (static_cast<void*>(const_cast<pointer>(&*first))
value_type (*x);
</pre>
<p>
and change 20.6.4.3, p1 to read
</p>
<pre>
<i>Effects</i>:
typedef typename iterator_traits<ForwardIterator>::pointer pointer;
typedef typename iterator_traits<ForwardIterator>::value_type value_type;
for (; n--; ++first)
new (static_cast<void*>(const_cast<pointer>(&*first))
value_type (*x);
</pre>
<p>
In addition, since there is no partial specialization for
<code>iterator_traits<volatile T*></code> I propose to add one
to parallel such specialization for <const T*>. Specifically, I
propose to add the following text to the end of 24.3.1, p3:
</p>
<p>
and for pointers to volatile as
</p>
<pre>
namespace std {
template<class T> struct iterator_traits<volatile T*> {
typedef ptrdiff_t difference_type;
typedef T value_type;
typedef volatile T* pointer;
typedef volatile T& reference;
typedef random_access_iterator_tag iterator_category;
};
}
</pre>
<p>
Note that the change to <code>iterator_traits</code> isn't necessary
in order to implement the specialized algorithms in a way that allows
them to operate on volatile strorage. It is only necesassary in order
to specify their effects in terms of <code>iterator_traits</code> as
is done here. Implementations can (and some do) achieve the same
effect by means of function template overloading.

There is no div() function for unsigned integer types.
</p>
<p>
There are several possible resolutions. The simplest one is noted below. Other
possibilities include a templated solution.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Add to 26.7 [lib.c.math] paragraph 8:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>struct udiv_t div(unsigned, unsigned);
struct uldiv_t div(unsigned long, unsigned long);
struct ulldiv_t div(unsigned long long, unsigned long long);

<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
Toronto: C99 does not have these unsigned versions because
the signed version exist just to define the implementation-defined behavior
of signed integer division. Unsigned integer division has no implementation-defined
behavior and thus does not need this treatment.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Section 22.2, paragraph 2 requires facet <code>get()</code> members
that take an <code>ios_base::iostate&</code> argument,
<code><i>err</i></code>, to ignore the (initial) value of the
argument, but to set it to <code>ios_base::failbit</code> in case of a
parse error.
</p>
<p>
We believe there are a few minor problems with this blanket
requirement in conjunction with the wording specific to each
<code>get()</code> member function.
</p>
<p>
First, besides <code>get()</code> there are other member functions
with a slightly different name (for example,
<code>get_date()</code>). It's not completely clear that the intent of
the paragraph is to include those as well, and at least one
implementation has interpreted the requirement literally.
</p>
<p>
Second, the requirement to "set the argument to
<code>ios_base::failbit</code> suggests that the functions are not
permitted to set it to any other value (such as
<code>ios_base::eofbit</code>, or even <code>ios_base::eofbit |
ios_base::failbit</code>).
</p>
<p>
However, 22.2.2.1.2, p5 (Stage 3 of <code>num_get</code> parsing) and
p6 (<code>bool</code> parsing) specifies that the <code>do_get</code>
functions perform <code><i>err</i> |= ios_base::eofbit</code>, which
contradicts the earlier requirement to ignore <i>err</i>'s initial
value.
</p>
<p>
22.2.6.1.2, p1 (the Effects clause of the <code>money_get</code>
facet's <code>do_get</code> member functions) also specifies that
<code><i>err</i></code>'s initial value be used to compute the final
value by ORing it with either <code>ios_base::failbit</code> or
with<code>ios_base::eofbit | ios_base::failbit</code>.
</p>
<p><i>[

]</i></p>
<blockquote>
Move to NAD.
</blockquote>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
We believe the intent is for all facet member functions that take an
<code>ios_base::iostate&</code> argument to:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
ignore the initial value of the <code><i>err</i></code> argument,
</li>
<li>
reset <code><i>err</i></code> to <code>ios_base::goodbit</code> prior
to any further processing,
</li>
<li>
and set either <code>ios_base::eofbit</code>, or
<code>ios_base::failbit</code>, or both in <code><i>err</i></code>, as
appropriate, in response to reaching the end-of-file or on parse
error, or both.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
To that effect we propose to change 22.2, p2 as follows:
</p>
<p>
The <i>put</i><del>()</del> members make no provision for error
reporting. (Any failures of the OutputIterator argument must be
extracted from the returned iterator.) <ins>Unless otherwise
specified, </ins>the <i>get</i><del>()</del> members <ins>that</ins>
take an <code>ios_base::iostate&</code> argument <del>whose value
they ignore, but set to ios_base::failbit in case of a parse

<code>err = ios_base::goodbit</code>, and may subsequently set
<i>err</i> to either <code>ios_base::eofbit</code>, or
<code>ios_base::failbit</code>, or <code>ios_base::eofbit |

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The wording used for section 23.2.1 [lib.array] seems to be subtly
ambiguous about zero sized arrays (N==0). Specifically:
</p>
<p>
* "An instance of array<T, N> stores N elements of type T, so that
[...]"
</p>
<p>
Does this imply that a zero sized array object stores 0 elements, i.e.
that it cannot store any element of type T? The next point clarifies
the rationale behind this question, basically how to implement begin()
and end():
</p>
<p>
* 23.2.1.5 [lib.array.zero], p2: "In the case that N == 0, begin() ==
end() == unique value."
</p>
<p>
What does "unique" mean in this context? Let's consider the following
possible implementations, all relying on a partial specialization:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>a)
template< typename T >
class array< T, 0 > {
....
iterator begin()
{ return iterator( reinterpret_cast< T * >( this ) ); }
....
};
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
This has been used in boost, probably intending that the return value
had to be unique to the specific array object and that array couldn't
store any T. Note that, besides relying on a reinterpret_cast, has
(more than potential) alignment problems.
</p>
<blockquote><pre>b)
template< typename T >
class array< T, 0 > {
T t;
iterator begin()
{ return iterator( &t ); }
....
};
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
This provides a value which is unique to the object and to the type of
the array, but requires storing a T. Also, it would allow the user to
mistakenly provide an initializer list with one element.
</p>
<p>
A slight variant could be returning *the* null pointer of type T
</p>
<blockquote><pre> return static_cast<T*>(0);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
In this case the value would be unique to the type array<T, 0> but not
to the objects (all objects of type array<T, 0> with the same value
for T would yield the same pointer value).
</p>
<p>
Furthermore this is inconsistent with what the standard requires from
allocation functions (see library issue 9).
</p>
<p>
c) same as above but with t being a static data member; again, the
value would be unique to the type, not to the object.
</p>
<p>
d) to avoid storing a T *directly* while disallowing the possibility
to use a one-element initializer list a non-aggregate nested class
could be defined
</p>
<blockquote><pre> struct holder { holder() {} T t; } h;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
and then begin be defined as
</p>
<blockquote><pre> iterator begin() { return &h.t; }
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
But then, it's arguable whether the array stores a T or not.
Indirectly it does.
</p>
<p>
-----------------------------------------------------
</p>
<p>
Now, on different issues:
</p>
<p>
* what's the effect of calling assign(T&) on a zero-sized array? There
seems to be only mention of front() and back(), in 23.2.1 [lib.array]
p4 (I would also suggest to move that bullet to section 23.2.1.5
[lib.array.zero], for locality of reference)
</p>
<p>
* (minor) the opening paragraph of 23.2.1 [lib.array] wording is a bit
inconsistent with that of other sequences: that's not a problem in
itself, but compare it for instance with "A vector is a kind of
sequence that supports random access iterators"; though the intent is
obvious one might argue that the wording used for arrays doesn't tell
what an array is, and relies on the reader to infer that it is what
the <array> header defines.
</p>
<p>
* it would be desiderable to have a static const data member of type
std::size_t, with value N, for usage as integral constant expression
</p>
<p>
* section 23.1 [lib.container.requirements] seem not to consider
fixed-size containers at all, as it says: "[containers] control
allocation and deallocation of these objects [the contained objects]
through constructors, destructors, *insert and erase* operations"
</p>
<p>
* max_size() isn't specified: the result is obvious but, technically,
it relies on table 80: "size() of the largest possible container"
which, again, doesn't seem to consider fixed size containers

<p>
However, basic_filebuf::close() (27.8.1.2) returns a pointer to the

<p>
I am not familiar with the C TR, but my guess is that the
class type approach still won't match a built-in type
approach because the notion of "promotion" cannot be
emulated by user-defined types.
</p>
<p>
Here is an example:
</p>
</blockquote>
<pre>
struct S {
S(_Decimal32 const&); // Converting constructor
};
void f(S);
void f(_Decimal64);
void g(_Decimal32 d) {
f(d);
}
</pre>
<blockquote>
<p>
If _Decimal32 is a built-in type, the call f(d) will likely
resolve to f(_Decimal64) because that requires only a
promotion, whereas f(S) requires a user-defined conversion.
</p>
<p>
If _Decimal32 is a class type, I think the call f(d) will be
ambiguous because both the conversion to _Decimal64 and the
conversion to S will be user-defined conversions with neither
better than the other.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Robert comments:
</p>
<p>In general, a library of arithmetic types cannot exactly emulate the
behavior of the intrinsic numeric types. There are several ways to tell
whether an implementation of the decimal types uses compiler
intrinisics or a library. For example:
</p>
<pre> _Decimal32 d1;
d1.operator+=(5); // If d1 is a builtin type, this won't compile.
</pre>
<p>
In preparing the decimal TR, we have three options:
</p>
<ol>
<li>require that the decimal types be class types</li>
<li>require that the decimal types be builtin types, like float and double</li>
<li>specify a library of class types, but allow enough implementor
latitude that a conforming implementation could instead provide builtin
types</li>
</ol>
<p>
We decided as a group to pursue option #3, but that approach implies
that implementations may not agree on the semantics of certain use
cases (first example, above), or on whether certain other cases are
well-formed (second example). Another potentially important problem is
that, under the present definition of POD, the decimal classes are not
POD types, but builtins will be.
</p>
<p>Note that neither example above implies any problems with respect to
C-to-C++ compatibility, since neither example can be expressed in C.

<blockquote>
<p>
Decimal numeric types may either be builtin types or library types. We
only intend to specify the common subset of behaviors of the two
implementation approaches. The front matter of the Decimal TR says this
explicitly.

I recognize the need for nothrow guarantees in the exception reporting
mechanism, but I strongly believe that implementors also need an escape hatch
when memory gets really low. (Like, there's not enough heap to construct and
copy exception objects, or not enough stack to process the throw.) I'd like to
think we can put this escape hatch in 18.6.1.1 [new.delete.single],
<tt>operator new</tt>, but I'm not sure how to do it. We need more than a
footnote, but the wording has to be a bit vague. The idea is that if

<p>
A recent news group discussion:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Anyone know if the Standard has anything to say about the time complexity
of size() for std::set? I need to access a set's size (/not/ to know if it is empty!) heavily
during an algorithm and was thus wondering whether I'd be better off
tracking the size "manually" or whether that'd be pointless.
</p>
<p>
That would be pointless. size() is O(1).
</p>
<p>
Nit: the standard says "should" have constant time. Implementations may take
license to do worse. I know that some do this for <tt>std::list<></tt> as a part of
some trade-off with other operation.
</p>
<p>
I was aware of that, hence my reluctance to use size() for std::set.
</p>
<p>
However, this reason would not apply to <tt>std::set<></tt> as far as I can see.
</p>
<p>
Ok, I guess the only option is to try it and see...
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
If I have any recommendation to the C++ Standards Committee it is that
implementations must (not "should"!) document clearly[1], where known, the
time complexity of *all* container access operations.
</p>
<p>
[1] In my case (gcc 4.1.1) I can't swear that the time complexity of size()
for std::set is not documented... but if it is it's certainly well hidden
away.

However sometimes container code needs to compare the address of an external value of
type <tt>T</tt> with an internal value. For example <tt>list::remove(const T& t)</tt>
may want to compare the address of the external value <tt>t</tt> with that of a value
stored within the list. Similarly <tt>vector</tt> or <tt>deque insert</tt> may
want to make similar comparisons (to check for self-referencing calls).
</p>
<p>
Mandating that <tt>allocator::address</tt> can only be called for values which the
allocator allocated seems overly restrictive.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
There already exist two active DR's for the wording of 27.7.1.2.3 [istream::extractors]/13
from 14882:2003(E), namely <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#64">64</a> and <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#413">413</a>.
</p>
<p>
Even with these proposed corrections, already maintained in N2134,
I have the feeling, that the current wording does still not properly
handle the "exceptional" situation. The combination of para 14
</p>
<blockquote><p>
"[..] Characters are extracted and inserted until
any of the following occurs:
</p>
<p>
[..]
</p>
<p>
- an exception occurs (in which case the exception is caught)."
</p></blockquote>
<p>
and 15
</p>
<blockquote><p>
"If the function inserts no characters, it calls setstate(failbit),
which
may throw ios_base::failure (27.4.4.3). If it inserted no characters
because it caught an exception thrown while extracting characters
from *this and failbit is on in exceptions() (27.4.4.3), then the
caught
exception is rethrown."
</p></blockquote>
<p>
both in N2134 seems to imply that any exception, which occurs
*after* at least one character has been inserted is caught and lost
for
ever. It seems that even if failbit is on in exceptions() rethrow is
not
allowed due to the wording "If it inserted no characters because it
caught an exception thrown while extracting".
</p>
<p>
Is this behaviour by design?
</p>
<p>
I would like to add that its output counterpart in 27.7.2.6.3 [ostream.inserters]/7-9
(also
N2134) does not demonstrate such an exception-loss-behaviour.
On the other side, I wonder concerning several subtle differences
compared to input::
</p>
<p>
1) Paragraph 8 says at its end:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
"- an exception occurs while getting a character from sb."
</p></blockquote>
<p>
Note that there is nothing mentioned which would imply that such
an exception will be caught compared to 27.7.1.2.3 [istream::extractors]/14.
</p>
<p>
2) Paragraph 9 says:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
"If the function inserts no characters, it calls setstate(failbit)
(which
may throw ios_base::failure (27.4.4.3)). If an exception was thrown
while extracting a character, the function sets failbit in error
state,
and if failbit is on in exceptions() the caught exception is
rethrown."
</p></blockquote>
<p>
The sentence starting with "If an exception was thrown" seems to
imply that such an exception *should* be caught before.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
(a) In 27.7.1.2.3 [istream::extractors]/15 (N2134) change the sentence
</p>
<blockquote><p>
If the function inserts no characters, it calls
<tt>setstate(failbit)</tt>, which may throw <tt>ios_base::failure</tt>
(27.4.4.3). If <del>it inserted no characters because it caught an
exception thrown while extracting characters from <tt>*this</tt></del>
<ins>an exception was thrown while extracting a character from
<tt>*this</tt>, the function sets <tt>failbit</tt> in error state,</ins>
and <tt>failbit</tt> is on in <tt>exceptions()</tt> (27.4.4.3), then the
caught exception is rethrown.
</p></blockquote>
<p>
(b) In 27.7.2.6.3 [ostream.inserters]/8 (N2134) change the sentence:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Gets characters from <tt>sb</tt> and inserts them in <tt>*this</tt>.
Characters are read from <tt>sb</tt> and inserted until any of the
following occurs:
</p>
<ul>
<li>end-of-file occurs on the input sequence;</li>
<li>inserting in the output sequence fails (in which case the character to be inserted is not extracted);</li>
<li>an exception occurs while getting a character from <tt>sb</tt> <ins>(in which
case the exception is caught)</ins>.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
This extractor is described as a formatted input function so the
exception behavior is already specified. There is additional behavior
described in this section that applies to the case in which failbit is
set. This doesn't contradict the usual exception behavior for formatted
input functions because that applies to the case in which badbit is set.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The standard wording of N2134 has extended the 14882:2003(E)
wording for the ifstream/ofstream/fstream open function to fix
a long standing problem, see <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#409">409</a>.
</p>
<p>
Now it's properly written as
</p>
<blockquote><p>
"If that function does not return a null pointer calls clear(),
otherwise
calls setstate(failbit)[..]"
</p></blockquote>
<p>
instead of the previous
</p>
<blockquote><p>
"If that function returns a null pointer, calls setstate(failbit)[..]
</p></blockquote>
<p>
While the old footnotes saying
</p>
<blockquote><p>
"A successful open does not change the error state."
</p></blockquote>
<p>
where correct and important, they are invalid now for ifstream and
ofstream (because clear *does* indeed modify the error state) and
should be removed (Interestingly fstream itself never had these,
although
they where needed for that time).
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
In 27.9.1.9 [ifstream.members], remove footnote:

<blockquote><p>

<p>
According to the description given in 28.10 [re.results]/2 the class template
match_results "shall satisfy the requirements of a Sequence, [..],
except that only operations defined for const-qualified Sequences
are supported".
Comparing the provided operations from 28.10 [re.results]/3 with the
sequence/container tables 80 and 81 one recognizes the following
missing operations:
</p>
<p>
1) The members
</p>
<blockquote><pre>const_iterator rbegin() const;
const_iterator rend() const;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
should exists because 23.1/10 demands these for containers
(all sequences are containers) which support bidirectional
iterators. Aren't these supported by match_result? This is not
explicitely expressed, but it's somewhat implied by two arguments:
</p>
<p>
(a) Several typedefs delegate to
<tt>iterator_traits<BidirectionalIterator></tt>.
</p>
<p>
(b) The existence of <tt>const_reference operator[](size_type n) const</tt>
implies even random-access iteration.
I also suggest, that <tt>match_result</tt> should explicitly mention,
which minimum iterator category is supported and if this does
not include random-access the existence of <tt>operator[]</tt> is
somewhat questionable.
</p>
<p>
2) The new "convenience" members
</p>
<blockquote><pre>const_iterator cbegin() const;
const_iterator cend() const;
const_iterator crbegin() const;
const_iterator crend() const;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
should be added according to tables 80/81.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Add the following members to the <tt>match_results</tt> synopsis after <tt>end()</tt> in 28.10 [re.results]
para 3:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>const_iterator cbegin() const;

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
In 28.12.2.1 [re.tokiter.cnstr]/1+2 both the constructor declaration
and the following text shows some obvious typos:
</p>
<p>
1) The third constructor form is written as
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template <std::size_t N>
regex_token_iterator(BidirectionalIterator a, BidirectionalIterator b,
const regex_type& re,
const int (&submatches)[R],
regex_constants::match_flag_type m =
regex_constants::match_default);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
where the dimensions of submatches are specified by an
unknown value R, which should be N.
</p>
<p>
2) Paragraph 2 of the same section says in its last sentence:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
The third constructor initializes the member <tt>subs</tt> to hold a
copy of the sequence of integer values pointed to by the iterator range
<tt>[&submatches, &submatches + R)</tt>.
</p></blockquote>
<p>
where again R must be replaced by N.
</p>
<p>
3) Paragraph 3 of the same section says in its first sentence:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
Each constructor then sets <tt>N</tt> to <tt>0</tt>, and
<tt>position</tt> to <tt>position_iterator(a, b, re, f)</tt>.
</p></blockquote>
<p>
where a non-existing parameter "f" is mentioned, which must be
replaced
by the parameter "m".
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Change 28.12.2.1 [re.tokiter.cnstr]/1:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template <std::size_t N>
regex_token_iterator(BidirectionalIterator a, BidirectionalIterator b,
const regex_type& re,
const int (&submatches)[<del>R</del> <ins>N</ins>],
regex_constants::match_flag_type m =
regex_constants::match_default);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Change 28.12.2.1 [re.tokiter.cnstr]/2:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
<i>Effects:</i> The first constructor initializes the member
<tt>subs</tt> to hold the single value <tt>submatch</tt>. The second

<p>
Change 28.12.2.1 [re.tokiter.cnstr]/3:

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
17.6.2.2 [using.headers] states:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
A translation unit shall include a header only outside of any
external declaration or definition, [...]
</p></blockquote>
<p>
I see three problems with this requirement:
</p>
<ol type="a">
<li><p>The C++ standard doesn't define what an "external declaration" or
an "external definition" are (incidentally the C99 standard does, and
has a sentence very similar to the above regarding header inclusion).
</p><p>
I think the intent is that the #include directive shall lexically
appear outside *any* declaration; instead, when the issue was pointed
out on comp.std.c++ at least one poster interpreted "external
declaration" as "declaration of an identifier with external linkage".
If this were the correct interpretation, then the two inclusions below
would be legal:
</p>
<blockquote><pre> // at global scope
static void f()
{
# include <cstddef>
}
static void g()
{
# include <stddef.h>
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
(note that while the first example is unlikely to compile correctly,
the second one may well do)
</p></li>
<li><p>as the sentence stands, violations will require a diagnostic; is
this the intent? It was pointed out on comp.std.c++ (by several
posters) that at least one way to ensure a diagnostic exists:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
[If there is an actual file for each header,] one simple way
to implement this would be to insert a reserved identifier
such as __begin_header at the start of each standard header.
This reserved identifier would be ignored for all other
purposes, except that, at the appropriate point in phase 7, if
it is found inside an external definition, a diagnostic is
generated. There's many other similar ways to achieve the same
effect.
</p>
<p> --James Kuyper, on comp.std.c++
</p></blockquote></li>
<li><p>is the term "header" meant to be limited to standard headers?
Clause 17 is all about the library, but still the general question is
interesting and affects one of the points in the explicit namespaces
proposal (<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2004/n1691.html">n1691</a>):
</p>
<blockquote><p>
Those seeking to conveniently enable argument-dependent
lookups for all operators within an explicit namespace
could easily create a header file that does so:
</p><pre> namespace mymath::
{
#include "using_ops.hpp"
}
</pre></blockquote>

</ol>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
We believe that the existing language does not cause any real confusion
and any new formulation of the rules that we could come up with are

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
From Section 22.4.2.1.2 [facet.num.get.virtuals], paragraphs 11 and 12, it is implied
that the value read from a stream must be stored
even if the placement of thousands separators does not conform to the
<code>grouping()</code> specification from the <code>numpunct</code> facet.
Since incorrectly-placed thousands separators are flagged as an extraction
failure (by the means of <code>failbit</code>), we believe it is better not
to store the value. A consistent strategy, in which any kind of extraction
failure leaves the input item intact, is conceptually cleaner, is able to avoid
corner-case traps, and is also more understandable from the programmer's point
of view.
</p>
<p>
Here is a quote from <i>"The C++ Programming Language (Special Edition)"</i>
by B. Stroustrup (Section D.4.2.3, pg. 897):
</p>
<blockquote><p>
<i>"If a value of the desired type could not be read, failbit is set in r.
[...] An input operator will use r to determine how to set the state of its
stream. If no error was encountered, the value read is assigned through v;
otherwise, v is left unchanged."</i>
</p></blockquote>
<p>
This statement implies that <code>rdstate()</code> alone is sufficient to
determine whether an extracted value is to be assigned to the input item
<i>val</i> passed to <code>do_get</code>. However, this is in disagreement
with the current C++ Standard. The above-mentioned assumption is true in all
cases, except when there are mismatches in digit grouping. In the latter case,
the parsed value is assigned to <i>val</i>, and, at the same time, <i>err</i>
is assigned to <code>ios_base::failbit</code> (essentially "lying" about the
success of the operation). Is this intentional? The current behavior raises
both consistency and usability concerns.
</p>
<p>
Although digit grouping is outside the scope of <code>scanf</code> (on which
the virtual methods of <code>num_get</code> are based), handling of grouping
should be consistent with the overall behavior of scanf. The specification of
<code>scanf</code> makes a distinction between input failures and matching
failures, and yet both kinds of failures have no effect on the input items
passed to <code>scanf</code>. A mismatch in digit grouping logically falls in
the category of matching failures, and it would be more consistent, and less
surprising to the user, to leave the input item intact whenever a failure is
being signaled.
</p>
<p>
The extraction of <code>bool</code> is another example outside the scope of
<code>scanf</code>, and yet consistent, even in the event of a successful
extraction of a <code>long</code> but a failed conversion from
<code>long</code> to <code>bool</code>.
</p>
<p>
Inconsistency is further aggravated by the fact that, when failbit is set,
subsequent extraction operations are no-ops until <code>failbit</code> is
explicitly cleared. Assuming that there is no explicit handling of
<code>rdstate()</code> (as in <code>cin>>i>>j</code>) it is
counter-intuitive to be able to extract an integer with mismatched digit
grouping, but to be unable to extract another, properly-formatted integer
that immediately follows.
</p>
<p>
Moreover, setting <code>failbit</code>, and selectively assigning a value to
the input item, raises usability problems. Either the strategy of
<code>scanf</code> (when there is no extracted value in case of failure), or
the strategy of the <code>strtol</code> family (when there is always an
extracted value, and there are well-defined defaults in case of a failure) are
easy to understand and easy to use. On the other hand, if <code>failbit</code>
alone cannot consistently make a difference between a failed extraction, and a
successful but not-quite-correct extraction whose output happens to be the same
as the previous value, the programmer must resort to implementation tricks.
Consider the following example:
</p>
<pre> int i = old_i;
cin >> i;
if (cin.fail())
// can the value of i be trusted?
// what does it mean if i == old_i?
// ...
</pre>
<p>
Last but not least, the current behvaior is not only confusing to the casual
reader, but it has also been confusing to some book authors. Besides
Stroustrup's book, other books (e.g. "Standard C++ IOStreams and Locales" by
Langer and Kreft) are describing the same mistaken assumption. Although books
are not to be used instead of the standard reference, the readers of these
books, as well as the people who are generally familiar to <code>scanf</code>,
are even more likely to misinterpret the standard, and expect the input items
to remain intact when a failure occurs.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Change 22.4.2.1.2 [facet.num.get.virtuals]:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
<b>Stage 3:</b> The result of stage 2 processing can be one of
</p>
<ul>
<li>A sequence of <code>chars</code> has been accumulated in stage 2 that is converted (according to the rules of <code>scanf</code>) to a value of the type of <code><i>val</i></code>. <del>This value is stored in <code><i>val</i></code> and <code>ios_base::goodbit</code> is stored in <code><i>err</i></code>.</del></li>
<li>The sequence of <code>chars</code> accumulated in stage 2 would have caused <code>scanf</code> to report an input failure. <code>ios_base::failbit</code> is assigned to <code><i>err</i></code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>
<ins>In the first case,</ins> <del>D</del><ins>d</ins>igit grouping is checked. That is, the positions of discarded separators is examined for consistency with <code>use_facet<numpunct<charT> >(<i>loc</i>).grouping()</code>. If they are not consistent then <code>ios_base::failbit</code> is assigned to <code><i>err</i></code>. <ins>Otherwise, the value that was converted in stage 2 is stored in <code><i>val</i></code> and <code>ios_base::goodbit</code> is stored in <code><i>err</i></code>.</ins>

</p>
<blockquote><p>
If <tt>pos</tt> or <tt>neg</tt> is empty, the sign component is

The following objection has been raised:

<blockquote>
<p>
I disagree that a <tt>negative_sign</tt> of "" means "there is no
way to
write a negative sign". The meaning requires the sentences of
22.4.6.1.2 [locale.money.get.virtuals] p3 following that quoted above
to be
taken into account:
</p>
<blockquote>
-3- ... If <tt>pos</tt> or <tt>neg</tt> is empty, the sign component is
optional, and if no sign is detected, the result is given the sign that
corresponds to the source of the empty string. Otherwise, the character
in the indicated position must match the first character of <tt>pos</tt>
or <tt>neg</tt>, and the result is given the corresponding sign. If the
first character of <tt>pos</tt> is equal to the first character of
<tt>neg</tt>, or if both strings are empty, the result is given a
positive sign.
</blockquote>
<p>
So a <tt>negative_sign</tt> of "" means "there is no way to write a
negative sign" only when <tt>positive_sign</tt> is also "". However
when <tt>negative_sign</tt> is "" and <tt>postive_sign.size() >
0</tt>, then one writes a negative value by not writing the
<tt>postive_sign</tt> in the position indicated by
<tt>money_base::sign</tt>.
For example:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>pattern = {symbol, sign, value, none}
positive_sign = "+"
negative_sign = ""
$123 // a negative value, using optional sign
$+123 // a positive value
$-123 // a parse error
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
And:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>pattern = {symbol, sign, value, none}
positive_sign = ""
negative_sign = ""
$123 // a positive value, no sign possible
$+123 // a parse error
$-123 // a parse error
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
And (regarding <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-closed.html#669">669</a>):
</p>
<blockquote><pre>pattern = {symbol, sign, value, none}
positive_sign = "-"
negative_sign = "-"
$123 // a parse error, sign is mandatory
$+123 // a parse error
$-123 // a positive value
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
The text seems both unambiguous and clear to me. I recommend NAD for
both this issue and <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-closed.html#669">669</a>. However I would have no

<p>
The most recent state of
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2241.html">N2241</a>
as well as the current draft
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2284.pdf">N2284</a>
(section 19.5 [syserr], p.2) proposes a
new
enumeration type <tt>posix_errno</tt> immediatly in the namespace <tt>std</tt>. One of
the enumerators has the name <tt>invalid_argument</tt>, or fully qualified:
<tt>std::invalid_argument</tt>. This name clashes with the exception type
<tt>std::invalid_argument</tt>, see 19.2 [std.exceptions]/p.3. This clash makes
e.g. the following snippet invalid:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>#include <system_error>
#include <stdexcept>
void foo() { throw std::invalid_argument("Don't call us - we call you!"); }
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
I propose that this enumeration type (and probably the remaining parts
of
<tt><system_error></tt> as well) should be moved into one additional inner
namespace, e.g. <tt>sys</tt> or <tt>system</tt> to reduce foreseeable future clashes
due
to the great number of members that <tt>std::posix_errno</tt> already contains
(Btw.: Why has the already proposed <tt>std::sys</tt> sub-namespace from
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2006/n2066.html">N2066</a>
been rejected?). A further clash <em>candidate</em> seems to be
<tt>std::protocol_error</tt>
(a reasonable name for an exception related to a std network library,
I guess).
</p>
<p>
Another possible resolution would rely on the proposed strongly typed
enums,
as described in <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2213.pdf">N2213</a>.
But maybe the forbidden implicit conversion to integral types would
make
these enumerators less attractive in this special case?

<p>
I see that the definition the associated Laguerre
polynomials TR1 5.2.1.1 [tr.num.sf.Lnm] has been corrected since
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2004/n1687.pdf">N1687</a>.
However, the draft standard only specifies ranks of integer value <tt>m</tt>,
while the associated Laguerre polynomials are actually valid for real
values of <tt>m > -1</tt>. In the case of non-integer values of <tt>m</tt>, the
definition <tt><i>L</i><sub>n</sub><sup>(m)</sup> = (1/n!)e<sup>x</sup>x<sup>-m</sup> (d/dx)<sup>n</sup> (e<sup>-x</sup>x<sup>m+n</sup>)</tt>
must be used, which also holds for integer values of <tt>m</tt>. See
Abramowitz & Stegun, 22.11.6 for the general case, and 22.5.16-17 for
the integer case. In fact fractional values are most commonly used in
physics, for example to <tt>m = +/- 1/2</tt> to describe the harmonic
oscillator in 1 dimension, and <tt>1/2, 3/2, 5/2, ...</tt> in 3
dimensions.
</p>
<p>
If I am correct, the calculation of the more general case is no
more difficult, and is in fact the function implemented in the GNU
Scientific Library. I would urge you to consider upgrading the
standard, either adding extra functions for real <tt>m</tt> or switching the
current ones to <tt>double</tt>.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
From the Toronto Core wiki:
</p>
<p>
What do you mean by "null pointer constant"? How do you guarantee that
<tt>exception_ptr() == 1</tt> doesn't work? Do you even want to prevent that?
What's the semantics? What about <tt>void *p = 0; exception_ptr() == p</tt>?
Maybe disallow those in the interface, but how do you do that with
portable C++? Could specify just "make it work".
</p>
<p>
Peter's response:
</p>
<p>
null pointer constant as defined in 4.10 [conv.ptr]. Intent is "just make it
work", can be implemented as assignment operator taking a unique pointer
to member, as in the unspecified bool type idiom.
</p>
<p><i>[

<blockquote>
<p>
Original implementation was possible using the "unspecified-null-pointer" idiom, similar to unspecified-bool.
</p>
<p>
Even simpler now with nullptr_t.
</p>
<p>
NAD Rationale : null pointer constant is a perfectly defined term, and
while API is clearly implementable there is no need to spell out
implementation details.

<blockquote>
<p>
The class template <tt>basic_string</tt> conforms to the requirements for a
Sequence (23.1.1) and for a Reversible Container (23.1).

<p>
First of all, 23.2.3 [sequence.reqmts] is no longer "Sequence" but "Sequence container".
Secondly, after the resent changes to containers (<tt>emplace</tt>, <tt>push_back</tt>,
<tt>const_iterator</tt> parameters to <tt>insert</tt> and <tt>erase</tt>), <tt>basic_string</tt> is not

<p>
Since the inclusion of <tt>constexpr</tt> in the standard draft N2369 we have
a new type category "literal", which is defined in 3.9 [basic.types]/p.11:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
-11- A type is a <i>literal</i> type if it is:
</p>
<ul>
<li>a scalar type; or</li>
<li><p>a class type (clause 9) with</p>
<ul>
<li>a trivial copy constructor,</li>
<li>a trivial destructor,</li>
<li>at least one constexpr constructor other than the copy constructor,</li>
<li>no virtual base classes, and</li>
<li>all non-static data members and base classes of literal types; or</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>an array of literal type.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>
I strongly suggest that the standard provides a type traits for
literal types in 20.6.4.3 [meta.unary.prop] for several reasons:
</p>
<ol type="a">
<li>To keep the traits in sync with existing types.</li>
<li>I see many reasons for programmers to use this trait in template
code to provide optimized template definitions for these types,
see below.</li>
<li>A user-provided definition of this trait is practically impossible
to write portably.</li>
</ol>
<p>
The special problem of reason (c) is that I don't see currently a
way to portably test the condition for literal class types:

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The 3rd table row in X [rand.req.eng]/3 requires random number engines to accept any
arithmetic type as a seed, which is then casted to the engine's <tt>result_type</tt> and subsequently
used for seeding the state of the engine. The requirement stated as "Creates an engine with
initial state determined by <tt>static_cast<X::result_type>(s)</tt>" forces random number engines
to either use a seeding method that completely depends on the <tt>result_type</tt> (see the discussion
of seeding for the <tt>mersenne_twister_engine</tt> in point T2 above) or at least to throw away "bits
of randomness" in the seed value if the <tt>result_type</tt> is smaller than the seed type. This seems
to be inappropriate for many modern random number generators, in particular F2-linear or
cryptographic ones, which operate on an internal bit array that in principle is independent of the
type of numbers returned.
</p>
<p>
<b>Posible resolution:</b> I propose to change the wording to a version similar to "Creates an
engine with initial state determined by <tt>static_cast<UintType>(s)</tt>, where <tt>UintType</tt> is an
implementation specific unsigned integer type."
</p>
<p>
Additionally, the definition of s in X [rand.req.eng]/1 c) could be restricted to unsigned integer types.
</p>
<p>
Similarly, the type of the seed in X [rand.req.adapt]/3 e) could be left unspecified.
</p>

<p>
The descriptions of all engines and engine adaptors given in sections
26.5.3 [rand.eng] and 26.5.4 [rand.adapt] already specify the concrete
types of the integer arguments for seeding. Hence, relaxing the general
requirement in X [rand.req.eng] would not affect portability and
reproducibility of the standard library. Furthermore, it is not clear to
me what exactly the guarantee "with initial state determined by
<tt>static_cast<X::result_type>(s)</tt>" is useful for. On the other hand,
relaxing the requirement would allow developers to implement other
random number engines that do not have to cast all arithmetic seed
arguments to their result_types.

<p>
If an engine adaptor is invoked with an argument of type <tt>seed_seq</tt>, then all base
engines are specified to be seeded with this <tt>seed_seq</tt>. As <tt>seed_seq</tt>'s randomization method is
qualified as constant, this procedure will ef fectively initialize all base engines with the same seed
(though the resulting state might still dif fer to a certain degree if the engines are of different types).
It is not clear whether this mode of operation is in general appropriate, hence -- as far as the
stated requirements are of general nature and not just specific to the engine adaptors provided by
the library -- it might be better to leave the behaviour unspecified, since the current definition of
<tt>seed_seq</tt> does not allow for a generally satisfying specification.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The proper way to seed random number engines seems to be the most frequently
discussed issue of the 26.5 [rand] proposal. While the new <tt>seed_seq</tt> approach is already rather
general and probably sufficient for most situations, it is unlikely to be optimal in every case (one
problem was pointed out in point T5 above). In some situations it might, for instance, be better to
seed the state with a cryptographic generator.
</p>
<p>
In my opinion this is a pretty strong argument for extending the standard with a simple facility to
customize the seeding procedure. This could, for example, be done with the following minimal
changes:
</p>
<p>
<b>Possible resolution:</b>
</p>
<ol type="a">
<li>
Turn the interface specification of 26.5.7.1 [rand.util.seedseq]/2 into a "SeedSeq" requirement, where the
exact behaviour of the constructors and the randomize method are left unspecified and where the
const qualification for randomize is removed. Classes implementing this interface are additionally
required to specialize the traits class in c).
</li>
<li>
Provide the class <tt>seed_seq</tt> as a default implementation of the SeedSeq interface.
</li>
<li>
<p>
Supplement the <tt>seed_seq</tt> with a traits class
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template <typename T>
struct is_seed_seq { static const bool value = false; }
</pre></blockquote>
<p>and the specialization</p>
<blockquote><pre>template <>
struct is_seed_seq<seed_seq> { static const bool value = true; }
</pre></blockquote>
<p>which users can supplement with further specializations.</p>
</li>
<li>
Change X [rand.req.eng]/1 d) to "q is an lvalue of a type that fulfils the SeedSeq requirements", and
modify the constructors and seed methods in 26.5.3 [rand.eng] appropriately (the actual implementation
could be done using the SFINAE technique).

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
X [rand.dist.samp.genpdf] describes the interface for a distribution template that is
meant to simulate random numbers from any general distribution given only the density and the
support of the distribution. I'm not aware of any general purpose algorithm that would be capable
of correctly and efficiently implementing the described functionality. From what I know, this is
essentially an unsolved research problem. Existing algorithms either require more knowledge
about the distribution and the problem domain or work only under very limited circumstances.
Even the state of the art special purpose library UNU.RAN does not solve the problem in full
generality, and in any case, testing and customer support for such a library feature would be a
nightmare.
</p>
<p>
<b>Possible resolution:</b> For these reasons, I propose to delete section X [rand.dist.samp.genpdf].

<p>
Objection to this issue is that this function takes a general functor.
The general approach would be to normalize this function, integrate it,
and take the inverse of the integral, which is not possible in general.
An example function is sin(1+n*x) -- for any spatial frequency that the
implementor chooses, there is a value of n that renders that choice
arbitrarily erroneous.
</p>
<p>
Correction: The formula above should instead read 1+sin(n*x).

rand.dist.samp.genpdf takes an number of points so that implementor need not guess.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The requirement "P shall have a declaration of the form <tt>typedef X distribution_-
type</tt>" effectively makes the use of inheritance for implementing distributions very inconvenient,
because the child of a distribution class in general will not satisfy this requirement. In my opinion
the benefits of having a typedef in the parameter class pointing back to the distribution class are
not worth the hassle this requirement causes. [In my code base I never made use of the nested
typedef but on several occasions could have profited from being able to use simple inheritance for
the implementation of a distribution class.]

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
In my opinion the choice of name for the <tt>t</tt> parameter of the <tt>binomial_distribution</tt>
is very unfortunate. In virtually every internet reference, book and software implementation
this parameter is called <tt>n</tt> instead, see for example Wikipedia, Mathworld, Evans et al. (1993)
Statistical Distributions, 2nd E., Wiley, p. 38, the R statistical computing language, p. 926,
Mathematica and Matlab.
</p>
<p>
Similarly, the choice of <tt>k</tt> for the parameter of the negative binomial distributions is rather unusual.
The most common choice for the negative binomial distribution seems to be <tt>r</tt> instead.
</p>
<p>
Choosing unusual names for the parameters causes confusion among users and makes the
interface unnecessarily inconvenient to use.
</p>
<p>
<b>Possible resolution:</b> For these reasons, I propose to change the name of the respective parameters
to <tt>n</tt> and <tt>r</tt>.

<ol type="a">
<li>
The specification for <tt>discrete_distribution</tt> requires the member <tt>probabilities()</tt>
to return a vector of <i>standardized</i> probabilities, which forces the implementation every time to
divide each probability by the sum of all probabilities, as the sum will in practice almost never be
exactly 1.0. This is unnecessarily inef ficient as the implementation would otherwise not need to
compute the standardized probabilities at all and could instead work with the non-standardized
probabilities and the sum. If there was no standardization the user would just get back the
probabilities that were previously supplied to the distribution object, which to me seems to be the
more obvious solution.
</li>
<li>
The behaviour of <tt>discrete_distribution</tt> is not specified in case the number of given
probabilities is larger than the maximum number representable by the IntType.

</ol>
<p>
<b>Possible resolution:</b> I propose to change the specification such that the non-standardized

of this issue:
</p>
<p>
Rescaled floating-point parameter vectors can not be expected to compare
equal because of the limited precision of floating-point numbers.
My proposal would at least guarantee that a parameter
vector (of type double) passed into the distribution would compare equal
with the one returned by the <tt>probabilities()</tt> method. Furthermore, I do
not understand why "the changed requirement would lead to a significant
increase in the amount of state in the distribution object". A typical
implementation's state would increase by exactly one number: the sum of
all probabilities. The textual representation for serialization would
not need to grow at all. Finally, the proposed replacement "<tt>0 < n <=
numeric_limits<IntType>::max() + 1</tt>" makes the implementation
unnecessarily complicated, "<tt>0 < n <= numeric_limits<IntType>::max()</tt>"
would be better.

<h3><a name="741"></a>741. Const-incorrect <tt>get_deleter</tt> function for <tt>shared_ptr</tt></h3>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The following issue was raised by Alf P. Steinbach in c.l.c++.mod:
</p>
<p>
According to the recent draft N2369, both the header memory synopsis
of 20.8 [memory] and 20.8.15.2.11 [util.smartptr.getdeleter] declare:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template<class D, class T> D* get_deleter(shared_ptr<T> const& p);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
This allows to retrieve the pointer to a mutable deleter of a <tt>const
shared_ptr</tt> (if that owns one) and therefore contradicts the usual
philosophy that associated functors are either read-only (e.g.
<tt>key_comp</tt> or <tt>value_comp</tt> of <tt>std::map</tt>) or do at least reflect
the mutability of the owner (as seen for the both overloads of
<tt>unique_ptr::get_deleter</tt>).
Even the next similar counter-part of <tt>get_deleter</tt> - the two
overloads of <tt>function::target</tt> in the class template function
synopsis 20.7.15.2 [func.wrap.func] or in 20.7.15.2.5 [func.wrap.func.targ] - do
properly mirror the const-state of the owner.
</p>
<b>Possible proposed resolutions:</b>
<p>
Replace the declarations of <tt>get_deleter</tt> in the header <tt><memory></tt>
synopsis of 20.8 [memory] and in 20.8.15.2.11 [util.smartptr.getdeleter] by one of the
following alternatives (A) or (B):
</p>
<ol type="A">
<li>
Provide <b>only</b> the immutable variant. This would reflect the
current praxis of <tt>container::get_allocator()</tt>, <tt>map::key_comp()</tt>, or
<tt>map::value_comp</tt>.
<blockquote><pre>template<class D, class T> const D* get_deleter(shared_ptr<T> const& p);
</pre></blockquote>
</li>
<li>
Just remove the function.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
Alberto Ganesh Barbati adds:
</p>
<ol start="3" type="A">
<li>
<p>
Replace it with two functions:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template <class D, class T> D get_deleter(shared_ptr<T> const&);
template <class D, class T> bool has_deleter(shared_ptr<T> const&);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
The first one would throw if <tt>D</tt> is the wrong type, while the latter would
never throw. This approach would reflect the current praxis of
<tt>use_facet/has_facet</tt>, with the twist of returning the deleter by value as
<tt>container::get_allocator()</tt> do.
</p>
</li>
</ol>

<p>
It could be I did not understand the design rationale, but I thought
copy_exception would produce an exception_ptr to the most-derived (dynamic)
type of the passed exception. Instead it slices, which appears to be less
useful, and a likely source of FAQ questions in the future.
</p>
<p>
(Peter Dimov suggests NAD)
</p>
<p><i>[

<blockquote>
<p>
How could this be implemented in a way that the dynamic type is cloned?
</p>
<p>
The feature is designed to create an exception_ptr from an object whose
static type is identical to the dynamic type and thus there is no
slicing involved.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
We have 3 separate type traits to identify classes supporting no-throw
operations, which are very useful when trying to provide exception safety
guarantees. However, I'm not entirely clear on what the current wording
requires of a conforming implementation. To quote from
<tt>has_nothrow_default_constructor</tt>:
</p>
<blockquote><p>
or <tt>T</tt> is a class type with a default constructor that is known not to throw
any exceptions
</p></blockquote>
<p>
What level of magic do we expect to deduce if this is known?
</p>
<p>
E.g.
</p>
<blockquote><pre>struct test{
int x;
test() : x() {}
};
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Should I expect a conforming compiler to
<tt>assert( has_nothrow_constructor<test>::value )</tt>
</p>
<p>
Is this a QoI issue?
</p>
<p>
Should I expect to 'know' only if-and-only-if there is an inline definition
available?
</p>
<p>
Should I never expect that to be true, and insist that the user supplies an
empty throw spec if they want to assert the no-throw guarantee?
</p>
<p>
It would be helpful to maybe have a footnote explaining what is required,
but right now I don't know what to suggest putting in the footnote.
</p>
<p>
(agreement since is that trivial ops and explicit no-throws are required.
Open if QoI should be allowed to detect further)

I am trying to decide is a pure virtual function is a <i>necessary</i> as well as
sufficient requirement to be classified as abstract?
</p>

For instance, is the following (non-polymorphic) type considered abstract?

<blockquote><pre>struct abstract {

As we understand it, the original requester (Martin Sebor) would like
for implementations to be permitted to pass-by-value. Alisdair suggests

</p>
<p>
We note that this would break ABI. However, we also suspect that this
might be covered under the "as-if" rule in section 1.9.

Many in the group feel that for vector<bool>, this is a "don't care",

<p>
similarily for N2369, and its corresponding section
20.8.13.2 [uninitialized.copy].
</p>
<p>
It's not clear to me what the return clause is supposed to mean, I see
two
possible interpretations:
</p>
<ol type="a">
<li>
The notion of <tt><i>result</i></tt> is supposed to mean the value given by the
function parameter <tt><i>result</i></tt> [Note to the issue editor: Please use italics for
<tt><i>result</i></tt>].
This seems somewhat implied by recognizing that both the function
parameter
and the name used in the clause do have the same italic font.
</li>
<li>
The notion of "result" is supposed to mean the value of <tt><i>result</i></tt>
after the
preceding effects clause. This is in fact what all implementations I
checked
do (and which is probably it's intend, because it matches the
specification of <tt>std::copy</tt>).
</li>
</ol>
<p>
The problem is: I see nothing in the standard which grants that this
interpretation
is correct, specifically [lib.structure.specifications] or
17.5.1.4 [structure.specifications]
resp. do not clarify which "look-up" rules apply for names found in
the elements
of the detailed specifications - Do they relate to the corresponding
synopsis or
to the effects clause (or possibly other elements)? Fortunately most
detailed
descriptions are unambigious in this regard, e.g. this problem does
not apply
for <tt>std::copy</tt>.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Change the wording of the return clause to say (20.8.13.2 [uninitialized.copy]):
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
-2- <i>Returns:</i> <ins>The value of</ins> <tt><i>result</i></tt> <ins>after effects have taken place.</ins>

After n2369 we have a single <tt>push_back</tt> overload in the sequence containers,
of the "emplace" type. At variance with that, still in n2461, we have
two separate overloads, the C++03 one + one taking an rvalue reference
in the container adaptors. Therefore, simply from a consistency point of
view, I was wondering whether the container adaptors should be aligned
with the specifications of the sequence container themselves: thus have
a single <tt>push</tt> along the lines:

<p>
In an emplace member function the function parameter pack may be bound
to a priori unlimited number of objects: some or all of them can be
elements of the container itself. Apparently, in order to conform to the
blanket statement 23.2 [container.requirements]/11, the
implementation must check all of them for that possibility. A possible
solution can involve extending the exception in 23.2 [container.requirements]/12 also to the emplace member. As a
side note, the <tt>push_back</tt> and <tt>push_front</tt> member
functions are luckily not affected by this problem, can be efficiently
implemented anyway

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
A major attribute of the unordered containers is that iterating
though them inside a bucket is very fast while iterating between buckets
can be much slower. If an unordered container has a low load factor,
iterating between the last iterator in one bucket and the next iterator,
which is in another bucket, is <tt>O(bucket_count())</tt> which may be much
larger than <tt>O(size())</tt>.
</p>
<p>
If <tt>b</tt> is an non-const unordered container of type <tt>B</tt> and <tt>k</tt> is an
object of it's <tt>key_type</tt>, then <tt>b.equal_range(k)</tt> currently returns
<tt>pair<B::iterator, B::iterator></tt>. Consider the following code:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>B::iterator lb, ub;
tie(lb, ub) = b.equal_range(k);
for (B::iterator it = lb; it != ub; ++it) {
// Do something with *it
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
If <tt>b.equal_range(k)</tt> returns a non-empty range (i.e. <tt>b</tt> contains at least
on element whose key is equivalent to <tt>k</tt>), then every iterator in the
half-open range <tt>[lb, ub)</tt> will be in the same bucket, but <tt>ub</tt> will likely
either be in a different bucket or be equal to <tt>b.end()</tt>. In either case,
iterating between <tt>ub - 1</tt> and <tt>ub</tt> could take a much longer time than
iterating through the rest of the range.
</p>
<p>
If instead of returning <tt>pair<iterator, iterator></tt>, <tt>equal_range</tt> were to
return <tt>pair<local_iterator, local_iterator></tt>, then <tt>ub</tt> (which, like <tt>lb</tt>,
would now be a <tt>local_iterator</tt>) could be guaranteed to always be in the
same bucket as <tt>lb</tt>. In the cases where currently <tt>ub</tt> is equal to <tt>b.end()</tt>
or is in a different bucket, <tt>ub</tt> would be equal to <tt>b.end(b.bucket(key))</tt>.
This would make iterating between <tt>lb</tt> and <tt>ub</tt> much faster, as every
iteration would be constant time.
</p>
<p><i>[
Bellevue:

<blockquote>
The proposed resolution breaks consistency with other container types
for dubious benefit, and iterators are already constant time.
</blockquote>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>

</p>
<p>
Discussion of "perfect world" solutions, the only such solution put
forward being to retroactively prohibit use of the integer zero for a
NULL pointer. This approach was deemed unacceptable given the large
bodies of pre-existing code that do use integer zero for a NULL pointer.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
<tt>unique_lock::release</tt> will probably lead to many mistakes where people
call <tt>release</tt> instead of <tt>unlock</tt>. I just coded such a mistake using the
boost pre-1.35 threads library last week.
</p>
<p>
In many threading libraries, a call with <tt>release</tt> in it unlocks the
lock (e.g. ReleaseMutex in Win32, java.util.concurrent.Semaphore).
</p>
<p>
I don't call <tt>unique_lock::lock</tt> much at all, so I don't get to see the
symmetry between <tt>::lock</tt> and <tt>::unlock</tt>. I usually use the constructor to
lock the mutex. So I'm left to remember whether to call <tt>release</tt> or
<tt>unlock</tt> during the few times I need to release the mutex before the scope
ends. If I get it wrong, the compiler doesn't warn me.
</p>
<p>
An alternative name for release may be <tt>disown</tt>.
</p>
<p>
This might be a rare case where usability is hurt by consistency with
the rest of the C++ standard (e.g. <tt>std::auto_ptr::release</tt>).

<p>
Table 16 of TR1 requires that all Pseudo Random Number generators have a
</p>
<blockquote><pre>seed(integer-type s)
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
member function that is equivalent to:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>mygen = Generator(s)
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
But the generators <tt>xor_combine</tt> and <tt>discard_block</tt> have no such seed member, only the
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template <class Gen>
seed(Gen&);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
member, which will not accept an integer literal as an argument: something that appears to violate the intent of Table 16.
</p>
<p>
So... is this a bug in TR1?
</p>
<p>This is a real issue BTW, since the Boost implementation does adhere
to the requirements of Table 16, while at least one commercial
implementation does not and follows a strict adherence to sections
5.1.4.5 and 5.1.4.6 instead.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The draft C++0x thread library requires that the time points of type
<tt>system_time</tt> and returned by <tt>get_system_time()</tt> represent Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC) (section [datetime.system]). This can lead to
surprising behavior when a library user performs a duration-based wait,
such as <tt>condition_variable::timed_wait()</tt>. A complete explanation of the
problem may be found in the
<a href="http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/xrat/xsh_chap02.html#tag_03_02_08_19">Rationale for the Monotonic Clock</a>
section in POSIX, but in summary:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Operations such as <tt>condition_variable::timed_wait()</tt> (and its POSIX
equivalent, <tt>pthread_cond_timedwait()</tt>) are specified using absolute times
to address the problem of spurious wakeups.
</li>
<li>
The typical use of the timed wait operations is to perform a relative
wait. This may be achieved by first calculating an absolute time as the
sum of the current time and the desired duration. In fact, the C++0x
thread library includes duration-based overloads of
<tt>condition_variable::timed_wait()</tt> that behave as if by calling the
corresponding absolute time overload with a time point value of
<tt>get_system_time() + rel_time</tt>.
</li>
<li>
A UTC clock may be affected by changes to the system time, such as
synchronization with an external source, leap seconds, or manual changes
to the clock.
</li>
<li>
Should the clock change during a timed wait operation, the actual
duration of the wait will not be the expected length. For example, a
user may intend a timed wait of one second duration but, due to an
adjustment of the system clock backwards by a minute, the wait instead
takes 61 seconds.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
POSIX solves the problem by introducing a new monotonic clock, which is
unaffected by changes to the system time. When a condition variable is
initialized, the user may specify whether the monotonic clock is to be
used. (It is worth noting that on POSIX systems it is not possible to
use <tt>condition_variable::native_handle()</tt> to access this facility, since
the desired clock type must be specified during construction of the
condition variable object.)
</p>
<p>
In the context of the C++0x thread library, there are added dimensions
to the problem due to the need to support platforms other than POSIX:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Some environments (such as embedded systems) do not have a UTC clock, but do have a monotonic clock.
</li>
<li>
Some environments do not have a monotonic clock, but do have a UTC clock.
</li>
<li>
The Microsoft Windows API's synchronization functions use relative
timeouts based on an implied monotonic clock. A program that switches
from the Windows API to the C++0x thread library will now find itself
susceptible to clock changes.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
One possible minimal solution:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Strike normative references to UTC and an epoch based on 1970-01-01.
</li>
<li>
Make the semantics of <tt>system_time</tt> and <tt>get_system_time()</tt>
implementation-defined (i.e standard library implementors may choose the
appropriate underlying clock based on the capabilities of the target
platform).
</li>
<li>
Add a non-normative note encouraging use of a monotonic clock.
</li>
<li>
Remove <tt>system_time::seconds_since_epoch()</tt>.
</li>
<li>
Change the constructor <tt>explicit system_time(time_t secs, nanoseconds ns
= 0)</tt> to <tt>explicit system_time(nanoseconds ns)</tt>.
</li>
</ul>

<p>
<tt>piecewise_constant_distribution::densities()</tt> should be <tt>probabilities()</tt>,
just like <tt>discrete_distribution</tt>. (There's no real use for weights divided
by areas.)
</p>
<p><i>[

<blockquote>
<p>
Fermilab does not agree with this summary. As defined in the equation in
26.4.8.5.2/4, the quantities are indeed probability densities not
probabilities. Because we view this distribution as a parameterization
of a *probability density function*, we prefer to work in terms of
probability densities.
</p>
<p>
We don't think this should be changed.
</p>
<p>
If there is a technical argument about why the implementation dealing
with these values can't be as efficient as one dealing with
probabilities, we might reconsider. We don't care about this one member
function being somewhat more or less efficient; we care about the size
of the distribution object and the speed of the calls to generate
variates.

For consistence with existing conventions (state-free algorithms and the

function argument that is provided by value. If severe concerns exists that
stateful functions would be of dominant relevance, it should be possible to

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
TR1 5.1.4.2 [tr.rand.eng.mers](10) requires that <tt>operator==</tt> for the <tt>mersenne_twister</tt>
returns <tt>true</tt> if and only if the states of two <tt>mersenne_twisters</tt>,
consisting each of <tt>n</tt> integers between <tt>0</tt> and <tt>2<sup>w</sup> - 1</tt>, are completely
equal. This is a contradiction with TR1 5.1.1 [tr.rand.req](3) because the given
definition of the state also includes the lower <tt>r</tt> bits of <tt>x(i-n)</tt>, which
will never be used to generate a random number. If two <tt>mersenne_twister</tt>s
only differ in the lower bits of <tt>x(i-n)</tt> they will not compare equal,
although they will produce an identical sequence of random numbers.
</p>
<p>
26.5.3.2 [rand.eng.mers] in the latest C++ draft does not specify the behaviour
of <tt>operator==</tt> but uses a similar definition of the state and, just like
TR1 5.1.4.2 [tr.rand.eng.mers], requires the textual representation of a
<tt>mersenne_twister_engine</tt> to consist of <tt>X<sub>i-n</sub></tt> to <tt>X<sub>i-1</sub></tt>, including the
lower bits of <tt>X<sub>i-n</sub></tt>. This leads to two problems: First, the
unsuspecting implementer is likely to erroneously compare the lower <tt>r</tt>
bits of <tt>X<sub>i-n</sub></tt> in <tt>operator==</tt>. Second, if only the lower <tt>r</tt> bits differ,
two <tt>mersenne_twister_engine</tt>s will compare equal (if correctly
implemented) but have different textual representations, which
conceptually is a bit ugly.
</p>
<p>
I propose that a paragraph or footnote is added to 26.5.3.2 [rand.eng.mers] which
clarifies that the lower <tt>r</tt> bits of <tt>X<sub>i-n</sub></tt> are not to be compared in
<tt>operator==</tt> and <tt>operator!=</tt>. It would only be consequent if furthermore
the specification for the textual respresentation was changed to
<tt>X<sub>i-n</sub> bitand ((2<sup>w</sup> - 1) - (2<sup>r</sup> - 1)), X<sub>i-(n-1)</sub>, ..., X<sub>i-1</sub></tt> or
something similar.
</p>
<p>
These changes would likely have no practical effect, but would allow an
implementation that does the right thing to be standard-conformant.

the simple definition of equality, and someone would have to do a lot

practical effect,", and according to Plum's razor this means that it is
not worth the effort!

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The for-loop in the algorithm specification has <tt>n</tt> iterations, where <tt>n</tt> is
defined to be <tt>end - begin</tt>, i.e. the number of supplied w-bit quantities.
Previous versions of this algorithm and the general logic behind it
suggest that this is an oversight and that in the context of the
for-loop <tt>n</tt> should be the number of full 32-bit quantities in <tt>b</tt> (rounded
upwards). If <tt>w</tt> is 64, the current algorithm throws away half of all bits
in <tt>b</tt>. If <tt>w</tt> is 16, the current algorithm sets half of all elements in <tt>v</tt>
to 0.
</p>
<p>
There are two more minor issues:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Strictly speaking <tt>end - begin</tt> is not defined since
<tt>InputIterator</tt> is not required to be a random access iterator.
</li>
<li>
Currently all integral types are allowed as input to the <tt>seed_seq</tt>
constructor, including <tt>bool</tt>. IMHO allowing <tt>bool</tt>s unnecessarily
complicates the implementation without any real benefit to the user.
I'd suggest to exclude <tt>bool</tt>s as input.

<tt>seed_seq(InputIterator begin, InputIterator end);</tt> constructs a <tt>seed_seq</tt>
object repacking the bits of supplied sequence <tt>[begin, end)</tt> into a
32-bit vector.
</p>
<p>
This repacking triggers several problems:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
Distinctness of the output of <tt>seed_seq::generate</tt> required the
introduction of the initial "<tt>if (w < 32) v.push_back(n);</tt>" (Otherwise
the unsigned short vectors [1, 0] and [1] generate the same sequence.)
</li>
<li>
Portability demanded the introduction of the template parameter <tt>u</tt>.
(Otherwise some sequences could not be obtained on computers where no
integer types are exactly 32-bits wide.)
</li>
<li>
The description and algorithm have become unduly complicated.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
I propose simplifying this <tt>seed_seq</tt> constructor to be "32-bit only".
Despite it's being simpler, there is NO loss of functionality (see
below).
</p>
<p>
Here's how the description would read
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
26.5.7.1 [rand.util.seedseq] Class <tt>seed_seq</tt>
</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>template<class InputIterator>
seed_seq(InputIterator begin, InputIterator end);

6 <i>Effects:</i> Constructs a <tt>seed_seq</tt> object by
</p>
<blockquote>

</pre>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>
Discussion:
</p>
<p>
The chief virtues here are simplicity, portability, and generality.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Simplicity -- compare the above specification with the
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2461.pdf">n2461</a> proposal.
</li>
<li>
Portability -- with <tt>iterator_traits<InputIterator>::value_type =
uint_least32_t</tt> the user is guaranteed to get the same behavior across
platforms.
</li>
<li>
Generality -- any behavior that the
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2461.pdf">n2461</a>
proposal can achieve can be
obtained with this simpler proposal (albeit with a shuffling of bits
in the input sequence).
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Arguments (and counter-arguments) against making this change (and
retaining the
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2461.pdf">n2461</a>
behavior) are:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
The user can pass an array of <tt>unsigned char</tt> and <tt>seed_seq</tt> will nicely
repack it.
</p>
<p>
Response: So what? Consider the seed string "ABC". The
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2461.pdf">n2461</a>
proposal results in
</p>
<blockquote><pre>v = { 0x3, 0x434241 };
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
while the simplified proposal yields
</p>
<blockquote><pre>v = { 0x41, 0x42, 0x43 };
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
The results produced by <tt>seed_seq::generate</tt> with the two inputs are
different but nevertheless equivalently "mixed up" and this remains
true even if the seed string is long.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
With long strings (e.g., with bit-length comparable to the number of
bits in the state), <tt>v</tt> is longer (by a factor of 4) with the simplified
proposal and <tt>seed_seq::generate</tt> will be slower.
</p>
<p>
Response: It's unlikely that the efficiency of <tt>seed_seq::generate</tt> will
be a big issue. If it is, the user is free to repack the seed vector
before constructing <tt>seed_seq</tt>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
A user can pass an array of 64-bit integers and all the bits will be
used.
</p>
<p>
Response: Indeed. However, there are many instances in the
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2461.pdf">n2461</a>
where integers are silently coerced to a narrower width and this
should just be a case of the user needing to read the documentation.
The user can of course get equivalent behavior by repacking his seed
into 32-bit pieces. Furthermore, the unportability of the
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2461.pdf">n2461</a>
proposal with
</p>
<blockquote><pre>unsigned long s[] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
seed_seq q(s, s+4);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
which typically results in <tt>v = {1, 2, 3, 4}</tt> on 32-bit machines and in
<tt>v = {1, 0, 2, 0, 3, 0, 4, 0}</tt> on 64-bit machines is a major pitfall for
unsuspecting users.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Note: this proposal renders moot issues <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#782">782</a> and <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-closed.html#800">800</a>.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Multi-threading is a good thing, but unsolicited multi-threading can
potentially be harmful. For example, <tt>sort()</tt> performance might be
greatly increased via a multithreaded implementation. However, such
a multithreaded implementation could result in concurrent invocations
of the user-supplied comparator. This would in turn result in problems
given a caching comparator that might be written for complex sort keys.
Please note that this is not a theoretical issue, as multithreaded
implementations of <tt>sort()</tt> already exist.
</p>
<p>
Having a multithreaded <tt>sort()</tt> available is good, but it should not
be the default for programs that are not explicitly multithreaded.
Users should not be forced to deal with concurrency unless they have
asked for it.

N2588 seems to have added an <tt>operator()</tt> member function to the
<tt>identity<></tt> helper in 20.3.3 [forward]. I believe this change makes it no
longer possible to instantiate <tt>identity<void></tt>, as it would require
forming a reference-to-<tt>void</tt> type as this <tt>operator()</tt>'s parameter type.

the member function's presence.

This issue became closed, because the <tt>ReferentType</tt> requirement

is that it was standardized as something very different (an unconditional

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
In Table 56 (Traits requirements) the <tt>not_eof()</tt> member function
is using an argument of type <i>e</i> which denotes an object of
type <code>X::int_type</code>. However, the specializations in
21.2.3 [char.traits.specializations] all use <code>char_type</code>.
This would effectively mean that the argument type actually can't
represent EOF in the first place. I'm pretty sure that the type used
to be <code>int_type</code> which is quite obviously the only sensible
argument.
</p>
<p>
This issue is close to being editorial. I suspect that the proposal
changing this section to include the specializations for <code>char16_t</code>
and <code>char32_t</code> accidentally used the wrong type.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
In 21.2.3.1 [char.traits.specializations.char],
21.2.3.2 [char.traits.specializations.char16_t],
21.2.3.3 [char.traits.specializations.char32_t], and
[char.traits.specializations.wchar_t] correct the
argument type from <code>char_type</code> to <code>int_type</code>.
</p>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
Already fixed in WP.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Initialization of objects of class <tt>error_code</tt>
(19.5.2 [syserr.errcode]) and class
<tt>error_condition</tt> (19.5.3 [syserr.errcondition]) can be made simpler and more reliable by use of
the new <tt>constexpr</tt> feature
[<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2349.pdf">N2349</a>]
of C++0x. Less code will need to be
generated for both library implementations and user programs when
manipulating constant objects of these types.
</p>
<p>
This was not proposed originally because the constant expressions
proposal was moving into the standard at about the same time as the
Diagnostics Enhancements proposal
[<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2241.html">N2241</a>],
and it wasn't desirable to
make the later depend on the former. There were also technical concerns
as to how <tt>constexpr</tt> would apply to references. Those concerns are now
resolved; <tt>constexpr</tt> can't be used for references, and that fact is
reflected in the proposed resolution.
</p>
<p>
Thanks to Jens Maurer, Gabriel Dos Reis, and Bjarne Stroustrup for clarification of <tt>constexpr</tt> requirements.
</p>
<p>
LWG issue <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#804">804</a> is related in that it raises the question of whether the
exposition only member <tt>cat_</tt> of class <tt>error_code</tt> (19.5.2 [syserr.errcode]) and class
<tt>error_condition</tt> (19.5.3 [syserr.errcondition]) should be presented as a reference or pointer.
While in the context of <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#804">804</a> that is arguably an editorial question,
presenting it as a pointer becomes more or less required with this
proposal, given <tt>constexpr</tt> does not play well with references. The
proposed resolution thus changes the private member to a pointer, which
also brings it in sync with real implementations.

<p>
The <code>basic_ios::copyfmt()</code> member function is specified in 27.5.4.2 [basic.ios.members] to have the following effects:
</p>
<blockquote>
<i>Effects</i>: If <code>(this == &rhs)</code> does
nothing. Otherwise assigns to the member objects of <code>*this</code>
the corresponding member objects of <code>rhs</code>, except that
<ul>
<li>

</li>
<li>
<code>exceptions()</code> is altered last by
calling <code>exceptions(rhs.except)</code>
</li>
<li>
the contents of arrays pointed at by <code>pword</code>
and <code>iword</code> are copied not the pointers themselves
</li>

<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>

<th colspan="2"><code>copyfmt()</code> postconditions</th>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Splice is a very useful feature of <tt>list</tt>. This functionality is also very
useful for any other node based container, and I frequently wish it were
available for maps and sets. It seems like an omission that these
containers lack this capability. Although the complexity for a splice is
the same as for an insert, the actual time can be much less since the
objects need not be reallocated and copied. When the element objects are
heavy and the compare operations are fast (say a <tt>map<int, huge_thingy></tt>)
this can be a big win.
</p>
<p>
<b>Suggested resolution:</b>
</p>
<p>
Add the following signatures to map, set, multimap, multiset, and the unordered associative containers:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>
void splice(list<T,Allocator>&& x);
void splice(list<T,Allocator>&& x, const_iterator i);
void splice(list<T,Allocator>&& x, const_iterator first, const_iterator last);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Hint versions of these are also useful to the extent hint is useful.
(I'm looking for guidance about whether hints are in fact useful.)
</p>
<blockquote><pre>
void splice(const_iterator position, list<T,Allocator>&& x);
void splice(const_iterator position, list<T,Allocator>&& x, const_iterator i);
void splice(const_iterator position, list<T,Allocator>&& x, const_iterator first, const_iterator last);

It owns a node obtained from the container it was removed from. It maintains a
reference to the allocator in the container so that it can properly deallocate
the node if asked to, even if the allocator is stateful. This being said, the
<tt>node_ptr</tt> can not outlive the container for this reason.
</p>
<p>
The <tt>node_ptr</tt> offers "<tt>const</tt>-free" access to the node's
<tt>value_type</tt>.
</p>
<p>
With this interface, clients have a great deal of flexibility:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
A client can remove a node from one container, and insert it into another
(without any heap allocation). This is the splice functionality this issue
asks for.
</li>
<li>
A client can remove a node from a container, change its key or value, and insert
it back into the same container, or another container, all without the cost of
allocating a node.
</li>
<li>
If the Compare function is nothrow (which is very common), then this functionality
is nothrow unless modifying the value throws. And if this does throw, it does
so outside of the containers involved.
</li>
<li>
If the Compare function does throw, the <tt>insert</tt> function will have the
argument <tt>nd</tt> retain ownership of the node.
</li>
<li>
The <tt>node_ptr</tt> should be independent of the <tt>Compare</tt> parameter
so that a node can be transferred from <tt>set<T, C1, A></tt>
to <tt>set<T, C2, A></tt> (for example).
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Here is how the customer might use this functionality:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Splice a node from one container to another:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>m2.insert(m1.remove(i));
</pre></blockquote>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Change the "key" in a <tt>std::map</tt> without the cost of node reallocation:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>auto p = m.remove(i);
p->first = new_key;
m.insert(std::move(p));
</pre></blockquote>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Change the "value" in a <tt>std::set</tt> without the cost of node reallocation:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>auto p = s.remove(i);
*p = new_value;
s.insert(std::move(p));
</pre></blockquote>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Move a move-only or heavy object out of an associative container (as opposed to
the proposal in <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-closed.html#1041">1041</a>):
</p>
<blockquote><pre>MoveOnly x = std::move(*s.remove(i));
</pre></blockquote>
<ol>
<li>
<tt>remove(i)</tt> transfers ownership of the node from the set to a temporary
<tt>node_ptr</tt>.
</li>
<li>
The <tt>node_ptr</tt> is dereferenced, and that non-const reference is sent to
<tt>move</tt> to cast it to an rvalue.
</li>
<li>
The rvalue <tt>MoveOnly</tt> is move constructed into <tt>x</tt> from
the <tt>node_ptr</tt>.
</li>
<li>
<tt>~node_ptr()</tt> destructs the moved-from <tt>MoveOnly</tt> and deallocates
the node.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
Contrast this with the <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-closed.html#1041">1041</a> solution:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>MoveOnly x = std::move(s.extract(i).first);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
The former requires one move construction for <tt>x</tt> while the latter
requires two (one into the <tt>pair</tt> and then one into <tt>x</tt>). Either
of these constructions can throw (say if there is only a copy constructor for
<tt>x</tt>). With the former, the point of throw is outside of the container
<tt>s</tt>, after the element has been removed from the container. With the latter,
one throwing construction takes place prior to the removal of the element, and
the second takes place after the element is removed.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
The "node insertion" API maintains the API associated with inserting <tt>value_type</tt>s
so the customer can use familiar techniques for getting an iterator to the
inserted node, or finding out whether it was inserted or not for the "unique"
containers.
</p>
<p>
Lightly prototyped. No implementation problems. Appears to work great
for the client.

<p>
I have one issue with <tt>std::pair</tt>. Well, it might just be a very annoying
historical accident, but why is there no default template argument for
the second template argument? This is so annoying when the type in
question is looong and hard to write (type deduction with <tt>auto</tt> won't
help those cases where we use it as a return or argument type).

<b>Submitter:</b> Martin Sebor <b>Opened:</b> 2008-05-17 <b>Last modified:</b> 2008-09-17</p>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
In specifying the names of macros and types defined in
header <code><stdint.h></code>, C99 makes use of the
symbol <code><i>N</i></code> to accommodate unusual platforms with
word sizes that aren't powers of two. C99
permits <code><i>N</i></code> to take on any positive integer value
(including, for example, 24).
</p>
<p>
In cstdint.syn Header <code><cstdint></code>
synopsis, C++ on the other hand, fixes the value
of <code><i>N</i></code> to 8, 16, 32, and 64, and specifies only
types with these exact widths.
</p>
<p>
</p>
In addition, paragraph 1 of the same section makes use of a rather
informal shorthand notation to specify sets of macros. When
interpreted strictly, the notation specifies macros such
as <code>INT_8_MIN</code> that are not intended to be specified.
<p>
Finally, the section is missing the usual table of symbols defined
in that header, making it inconsistent with the rest of the
specification.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
I propose to use the same approach in the C++ spec as C99 uses, that
is, to specify the header synopsis in terms of "exposition only" types
that make use of the symbol <code><i>N</i></code> to denote one or
more of a theoretically unbounded set of widths.
</p>
<p>
Further, I propose to add a new table to section listing the symbols
defined in the header using a more formal notation that avoids
introducing inconsistencies.
</p>
<p>
To this effect, in cstdint.syn
Header <code><cstdint></code> synopsis, replace both the
synopsis and paragraph 1 with the following text:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
</p><ol>
<li>
In the names defined in the <code><cstdint></code> header, the
symbol <code><i>N</i></code> represents a positive decimal integer
with no leading zeros (e.g., 8 or 24, but not 0, 04, or 048). With the
exception of exact-width types, macros and types for values
of <code><i>N</i></code> in the set of 8, 16, 32, and 64 are
required. Exact-width types, and any macros and types for values
of <code><i>N</i></code> other than 8, 16, 32, and 64 are
optional. However, if an implementation provides integer types with
widths of 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits, the corresponding exact-width types
and macros are required.
</li>
</ol>
<pre>namespace std {

<h3><a name="849"></a>849. missing type traits to compute root class and derived class of types in a class hierachy</h3>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The type traits library contains various traits to dealt with
polymorphic types, e.g. <tt>std::has_virtual_destructor</tt>, <tt>std::is_polymorphic</tt>
and <tt>std::is_base_of</tt>. However, there is no way to compute the unique
public base class of a type if such one exists. Such a trait could be
very useful if one needs to instantiate a specialization made for the
root class whenever a derived class is passed as parameter. For example,
imagine that you wanted to specialize <tt>std::hash</tt> for a class
hierarchy---instead of specializing each class, you could specialize the
<tt>std::hash<root_class></tt> and provide a partial specialization that worked
for all derived classes.
</p>
<p>
This ability---to specify operations in terms of their equivalent in the
root class---can be done with e.g. normal functions, but there is,
AFAIK, no way to do it for class templates. Being able to access
compile-time information about the type-hierachy can be very powerful,
and I therefore also suggest traits that computes the directly derived
class whenever that is possible.
</p>
<p>
If the computation can not be done, the traits should fall back on an
identity transformation. I expect this gives the best overall usability.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Add the following to the synopsis in 20.6.2 [meta.type.synop] under "other transformations":
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template< class T > struct direct_base_class;
template< class T > struct direct_derived_class;
template< class T > struct root_base_class;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Add three new entries to table 51 (20.6.7 [meta.trans.other]) with the following content
</p>
<blockquote>
<table border="1">
<tbody><tr>
<th>Template</th><th>Condition</th><th>Comments</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>template< class T > struct direct_base_class;</tt></td>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
This is an issue that came up on the libstdc++ list, where a
discrepancy between "C" arrays and C++0x's <tt>std::array</tt> was pointed
out.
</p>
<p>
In "C," this array usage is possible:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>int ar[] = {1, 4, 6};
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
But for C++,
</p>
<blockquote><pre>std::array<int> a = { 1, 4, 6 }; // error
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Instead, the second parameter of the <tt>array</tt> template must be
explicit, like so:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>std::array<int, 3> a = { 1, 4, 6 };
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Doug Gregor proposes the following solution, that assumes
generalized initializer lists.
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template<typename T, typename... Args>
inline array<T, sizeof...(Args)>
make_array(Args&&... args)
{ return { std::forward<Args>(args)... }; }
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Then, the way to build an <tt>array</tt> from a list of unknown size is:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>auto a = make_array<T>(1, 4, 6);
</pre></blockquote>

<p><i>[
2009-06-07 Daniel adds:
]</i></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
I suggest a fix and a simplification of the current proposal: Recent
prototyping by
Howard showed, that a fix is required because narrowing conversion
8.5.4 [dcl.init.list]/6 b.3
would severely limit the possible distribution of argument types, e.g.
the expression
<tt>make_array<double>(1, 2.0)</tt> is ill-formed, because the narrowing
happens <em>inside</em> the
function body where no constant expressions exist anymore. Furthermore
given e.g.
</p>
<blockquote><pre>int f();
double g();
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
we probably want to support
</p>
<blockquote><pre>make_array<double>(f(), g());
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
as well. To make this feasible, the currently suggested expansion
</p>
<blockquote><pre>{ std::forward<Args>(args)... }
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
needs to be replaced by
</p>
<blockquote><pre>{ static_cast<T>(std::forward<Args>(args))... }
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
which is safe, because we already ensure convertibility via the
element-wise <tt>Convertible<Args, T></tt> requirement. Some other fixes are
necessary: The <tt>ValueType</tt> requirement for the function <em>parameters</em>
is invalid, because all lvalue arguments will deduce to an lvalue-reference,
thereby no longer satisfying this requirement.
</p>
<p>
The suggested simplification is to provide a default-computed effective
type for the result array based on common_type and decay, in
unconstrained form:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template<typename... Args>
array<typename decay<typename common_type<Args...>::type>::type,
sizeof...(Args)>
make_array(Args&&... args);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
The approach used below is similar to that of <tt>make_pair</tt> and <tt>make_tuple</tt>
using a symbol <tt>C</tt> to represent the decayed common type [Note: Special
handling of <tt>reference_wrapper</tt> types is intentionally <em>not</em> provided, because
our target has so satisfy <tt>ValueType</tt>, thus under the revised proposal only
an all-<tt>reference_wrapper</tt>-arguments would be well-formed and an array of
<tt>reference_wrapper</tt> will be constructed]. I do currently not suggest to
add new concepts reflecting <tt>decay</tt> and <tt>common_type</tt>, but an implementor will
need something like this to succeed. Note that we use a similar fuzziness for
<tt>make_pair</tt> and <tt>make_tuple</tt> currently. This fuzziness is not related to
the currently
missing <tt>Constructible<Vi, Ti&&></tt> requirement for those functions. The following
proposal fixes that miss for <tt>make_array</tt>. If the corresponding <tt>C</tt> type
deduction is
explicitly wanted for standardization, here the implementation
</p>
<blockquote><pre>auto concept DC<typename... T> {
typename type = typename decay<typename common_type<T...>::type>::type;
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
where <tt>C</tt> is identical to <tt>DC<Args...>::type</tt> in the proposed resolution below.
</p>
<p>
I intentionally added no further type relation between type and the concept
template parameters, but instead added this requirement below to make
the specification as transparent as possible. As written this concept is
satisfied, if the corresponding associated type exists.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The main point is that <tt>capacity</tt> can be viewed as a mechanism to
guarantee the validity of <tt>iterators</tt> when only <tt>push_back/pop_back</tt>
operations are used. For <tt>vector</tt>, this goes with reallocation. For
<tt>deque</tt>, this is a bit more subtle: <tt>capacity()</tt> of a <tt>deque</tt> may shrink,
whereas that of <tt>vector</tt> doesn't. In a circular buffer impl. of the
map, as Howard did, there is very similar notion of capacity: as long
as <tt>size()</tt> is less than <tt>B * (</tt>total size of the map <tt>- 2)</tt>, it is
guaranteed that no <tt>iterator</tt> is invalidated after any number of
<tt>push_front/back</tt> and <tt>pop_front/back</tt> operations. But this does not
hold for other implementations.
</p>
<p>
Still, I believe, <tt>capacity()</tt> can be defined by <tt>size() +</tt> how many
<tt>push_front/back</tt> minus <tt>pop_front/back</tt> that can be performed before
terators are invalidated. In a classical impl., <tt>capacity() = size()
+ </tt> the min distance to either "physical" end of the deque (i.e.,
counting the empty space in the last block plus all the blocks until
the end of the map of block pointers). In Howard's circular buffer
impl., <tt>capacity() = B * (</tt>total size of the map <tt>- 2)</tt> still works with
this definition, even though the guarantee could be made stronger.
</p>
<p>
A simple picture of a deque:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>A-----|----|-----|---F+|++++|++B--|-----|-----Z
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
(A,Z mark the beginning/end, | the block boundaries, F=front, B=back,
and - are uninitialized, + are initialized)
In that picture: <tt>capacity = size() + min(dist(A,F),dist(B,Z)) = min
(dist(A,B),dist(F,Z))</tt>.
</p>
<p>
<tt>Reserve(n)</tt> can grow the map of pointers and add possibly a number of
empty blocks to it, in order to guarantee that the next <tt>n-size()
push_back/push_front</tt> operations will not invalidate iterators, and
also will not allocate (i.e. cannot throw). The second guarantee is
not essential and can be left as a QoI. I know well enough existing
implementations of <tt>deque</tt> (sgi/stl, roguewave, stlport, and
dinkumware) to know that either can be implemented with no change to
the existing class layout and code, and only a few modifications if
blocks are pre-allocated (instead of always allocating a new block,
check if the next entry in the map of block pointers is not zero).
</p>
<p>
Due to the difference with <tt>vector</tt>, wording is crucial. Here's a
proposed wording to make things concrete; I tried to be reasonably
careful but please double-check me:
</p>
<p><i>[
San Francisco:
]</i></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Hans: should the Returns clause for capacity read "1 Returns: A lower
bound..." rather than "1 Returns: An upper bound..."
</p>
<p>
Howard: maybe what's needed is capacity_front and capacity_back. In
fact, I think I implemented a deque that had these members as
implementation details.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Add new signatures to synopsis in 23.3.2 [deque]:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>size_type capacity() const;
bool reserve(size_type n);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Add new signatures to 23.3.2.2 [deque.capacity]:
</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>size_type capacity() const;
</pre>
<blockquote>
<p>
1 <i>Returns:</i> An upper bound on <tt>n + max(n_f - m_f, n_b - m_b)</tt> such
that, for any sequence of <tt>n_f push_front</tt>, <tt>m_f pop_front</tt>, <tt>n_b
push_back</tt>, and <tt>m_b pop_back</tt> operations, interleaved in any order,
starting with the current <tt>deque</tt> of size <tt>n</tt>, the <tt>deque</tt> does not
invalidate any of its iterators except to the erased elements.
</p>
<p>
2 <i>Remarks:</i> Unlike a <tt>vector</tt>'s capacity, the capacity of a <tt>deque</tt> can
decrease after a sequence of insertions at both ends, even if none of
the operations caused the <tt>deque</tt> to invalidate any of its iterators
except to the erased elements.
</p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<pre>bool reserve(size_type n);
</pre>
<blockquote>
<p>
2 <i>Effects:</i> A directive that informs a <tt>deque</tt> of a planned sequence of
<tt>push_front</tt>, <tt>pop_front</tt>, <tt>push_back</tt>, and <tt>pop_back</tt> operations, so that it
can manage iterator invalidation accordingly. After <tt>reserve()</tt>,
<tt>capacity()</tt> is greater or equal to the argument of <tt>reserve</tt> if this
operation returns <tt>true</tt>; and equal to the previous value of <tt>capacity()</tt>
otherwise. If an exception is thrown, there are no effects.
</p>
<p>
3 <i>Returns:</i> <tt>true</tt> if iterators are invalidated as a result of this
operation, and false otherwise.
</p>
<p>
4 <i>Complexity:</i> It does not change the size of the sequence and takes
at most linear time in <tt>n</tt>.
</p>
<p>
5 <i>Throws:</i> <tt>length_error</tt> if <tt>n > max_size()</tt>.
</p>
<p>
6 <i>Remarks:</i> It is guaranteed that no invalidation takes place during a
sequence of <tt>insert</tt> or <tt>erase</tt> operations at either end that happens
after a call to <tt>reserve()</tt> except to the erased elements, until the
time when an insertion would make <tt>max(n_f-m_f, n_b-m_b)</tt> larger than
<tt>capacity()</tt>, where <tt>n_f</tt> is the number of <tt>push_front</tt>, <tt>m_f</tt> of <tt>pop_front</tt>,
<tt>n_b</tt> of <tt>push_back</tt>, and <tt>m_b</tt> of <tt>pop_back</tt> operations since the call to
<tt>reserve()</tt>.
</p>
<p>
7 An implementation is free to pre-allocate buffers so as to
offer the additional guarantee that no exception will be thrown
during such a sequence other than by the element constructors.
</p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>
And 23.3.2.3 [deque.modifiers] para 1, can be enhanced:
</p>
<blockquote>
1 <i>Effects:</i> An insertion in the middle of the deque invalidates all the iterators and references to elements of the
deque. An insertion at either end of the deque invalidates all the iterators to the deque,
<ins>unless provisions have been made with reserve,</ins>
but has no effect on the validity of references to elements of the deque.
</blockquote>
<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
Complication outweighs the benefit.

<p>
In 25.4.5.1 [includes] the complexity is "at most -1 comparisons" if passed
two empty ranges. I don't know how to perform a negative number of
comparisions!
</p>
<p>
This same issue also applies to:

<li><tt>set_intersection</tt></li>
<li><tt>set_difference</tt></li>

</ul>
<p><i>[

Suggest NAD. The complexity of empty ranges is -1 in other places in the
standard. See 25.4.4 [alg.merge] <tt>merge</tt> and
<tt>inplace_merge</tt>, and <tt>forward_list</tt> merge, for example.
The time and effort to find and fix all places in the standard where
empty range[s] result in negative complexity isn't worth the very
limited benefit.

<p>
I'm not happy with NAD if we can find a simple solution.

How about adding a rider somewhere in clause 17 suggesting that complexities
that specify a negative number of operations are treated as specifying zero
operations? That should generically solve the issue without looking for
further cases.

<p>
Suppose writing to an <tt>[o]fstream</tt> fails and you later close the <tt>stream</tt>.
The <tt>overflow()</tt> function is called to flush the buffer (if it exists).
Then the file is unconditionally closed, as if by calling <tt>flcose</tt>.
</p>
<p>
If either <tt>overflow</tt> or <tt>fclose</tt> fails, <tt>close()</tt> reports failure, and clearly
the <tt>stream</tt> should be in a failed or bad state.
</p>
<p>
Suppose the buffer is empty or non-existent (so that <tt>overflow()</tt> does not
fail), and <tt>fclose</tt> succeeds. The <tt>close()</tt> function reports success, but
what is the state of the <tt>stream</tt>?
</p>

There is another reference to the default constructor of <tt>T</tt> in the non-normative note in paragraph 9.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Neither the term "signed integral type" nor the term "unsigned
integral type" is defined in the core language section of the
standard, therefore the library section should avoid its use. The
terms <i>signed integer type</i> and <i>unsigned integer type</i> are
indeed defined (in 3.9.1 [basic.fundamental]), thus the usages should be
replaced accordingly.
</p>
<p>
Note that the key issue here is that "signed" + "integral type" !=
"signed integral type".
The types <code>bool</code>, <code>char</code>, <code>char16_t</code>,
<code>char32_t</code> and <code>wchar_t</code> are all listed as
integral types, but are neither of <i>signed integer type</i> or
<i>unsigned integer type</i>. According to 3.9 [basic.types] p7, a synonym for
integral type is <i>integer type</i>.
Given this, one may choose to assume that an <i>integral type</i> that
can represent values less than zero is a <i>signed integral type</i>.
Unfortunately this can cause ambiguities.
As an example, if <code>T</code> is <code>unsigned char</code>, the
expression <code>make_signed<T>::type</code>, is supposed to
name a signed integral type. There are potentially two types that
satisfy this requirement, namely <code>signed char</code> and
<code>char</code> (assuming <code>CHAR_MIN < 0</code>).

<tt>BilateralIntegerType</tt> and add proper restrictions to the library

I propose to use the terms "signed integer type" and "unsigned integer

Note: I believe that the basefield values should probably be
prefixed with <tt>ios_base::</tt> as they are in 22.4.2.2.2 [facet.num.put.virtuals]
The listed virtuals are all overloaded on signed and unsigned integer
types, the new wording just maintains consistency.

X [iterator.concepts] paragraph 1...
</p>
<blockquote>
Iterators are a generalization of pointers that allow a C++ program to
work with different data structures (containers) in a uniform manner.
To be able to construct template algorithms that work correctly and
efficiently on different types of data structures, the library
formalizes not just the interfaces but also the semantics and
complexity assumptions of iterators. All input iterators
<code>i</code> support the expression <code>*i</code>, resulting in a
value of some class, enumeration, or built-in type <code>T</code>,
called the <i>value type</i> of the iterator. All output iterators
support the expression <code>*i = o</code> where <code>o</code> is a
value of some type that is in the set of types that are
<i>writable</i> to the particular iterator type of <code>i</code>. All
iterators <code>i</code> for which the expression <code>(*i).m</code>
is well-defined, support the expression <code>i->m</code> with the
same semantics as <code>(*i).m</code>. For every iterator type
<code>X</code> for which equality is defined, there is a corresponding
<del>signed integral type</del> <ins>signed integer type</ins> called
the <i>difference type</i> of the iterator.
</blockquote>
<p>
I'm a little unsure of this change. Previously this paragraph would
allow instantiations of <tt>linear_congruential_engine</tt> on
<tt>char</tt>, <tt>wchar_t</tt>, <tt>bool</tt>, and other types. The
new wording prohibits this.
26.5.3.1 [rand.eng.lcong] paragraph 2...
</p>
<blockquote>
The template parameter <code>UIntType</code> shall denote an
<del>unsigned integral type</del><ins>unsigned integer type</ins>
large enough to store values as large as <code>m - 1</code>. If the
template parameter <code>m</code> is 0, the modulus <code>m</code>
used throughout this section 26.4.3.1 is
<code>numeric_limits<result_type>::max()</code> plus 1. [Note:
The result need not be representable as a value of type
<code>result_type</code>. --end note] Otherwise, the following
relations shall hold: <code>a < m</code> and <code>c <
m</code>.
</blockquote>
<p>
Same rationale as the previous change.
X [rand.adapt.xor] paragraph 6...
</p>
<blockquote>
Both <code>Engine1::result_type</code> and
<code>Engine2::result_type</code> shall denote (possibly different)
<del>unsigned integral types</del><ins>unsigned integer types</ins>.
The member <i>result_type</i> shall denote either the type
<i>Engine1::result_type</i> or the type <i>Engine2::result_type</i>,
whichever provides the most storage according to clause 3.9.1.
</blockquote>
<p>
26.5.7.1 [rand.util.seedseq] paragraph 7...
</p>
<blockquote>
<i>Requires:</i><code>RandomAccessIterator</code> shall meet the
requirements of a random access iterator (24.1.5) such that
<code>iterator_traits<RandomAccessIterator>::value_type</code>
shall denote an <del>unsigned integral type</del><ins>unsigned integer
type</ins> capable of accomodating 32-bit quantities.
</blockquote>
<p>
By making this change, integral types that happen to have a signed
representation, but are not signed integer types, would no longer be
required to use a two's complement representation. This may go against
the original intent, and should be reviewed.
29.6 [atomics.types.operations] paragraph 24...
</p>
<blockquote>
<i>Remark:</i> For <del>signed integral types</del><ins>signed integer
types</ins>, arithmetic is defined using two's complement
representation. There are no undefined results. For address types, the
result may be an undefined address, but the operations otherwise have
no undefined behavior.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Recent changes to
the <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2691.pdf">working
draft</a> have introduced a gratuitous inconsistency with the C++ 2003
version of the specification with respect to exception guarantees
provided by standard functions. While the C++ 2003 standard
consistenly uses the empty exception specification, <tt>throw()</tt>,
to declare functions that are guaranteed not to throw exceptions, the
current working draft contains a number of "<i>Throws:</i> Nothing."
clause to specify essentially the same requirement. The difference
between the two approaches is that the former specifies the behavior
of programs that violate the requirement (<tt>std::unexpected()</tt>
is called) while the latter leaves the behavior undefined.
</p>
<p>
A survey of the working draft reveals that there are a total of 209
occurrences of <tt>throw()</tt> in the library portion of the spec,
the majority in clause 18, a couple (literally) in 19, a handful in
20, a bunch in 22, four in 24, one in 27, and about a dozen in D.9.
</p>
<p>
There are also 203 occurrences of "<i>Throws:</i> Nothing." scattered
throughout the spec.
</p>
<p>
While sometimes there are good reasons to use the "<i>Throws:</i>
Nothing." approach rather than making use of <tt>throw()</tt>, these
reasons do not apply in most of the cases where this new clause has
been introduced and the empty exception specification would be a
better approach.
</p>
<p>
First, functions declared with the empty exception specification
permit compilers to generate better code for calls to such
functions. In some cases, the compiler might even be able to eliminate
whole chunks of user-written code when instantiating a generic
template on a type whose operations invoked from the template
specialization are known not to throw. The prototypical example are
the <tt>std::uninitialized_copy()</tt>
and <tt>std::uninitialized_fill()</tt> algorithms where the
entire <tt>catch(...)</tt> block can be optimized away.
</p>
<p>
For example, given the following definition of
the <tt>std::uninitialized_copy</tt> function template and a
user-defined type <tt>SomeType</tt>:
</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>template <class InputIterator, class ForwardIterator>
ForwardIterator
uninitialized_copy (InputIterator first, InputIterator last, ForwardIterator res)
{
typedef iterator_traits<ForwardIterator>::value_type ValueType;
ForwardIterator start = res;
try {
for (; first != last; ++first, ++res)
::new (&*res) ValueType (*first);
}
catch (...) {
for (; start != res; --start)
(&*start)->~ValueType ();
throw;
}
return res;
}
struct SomeType {
SomeType (const SomeType&) <ins>throw ()</ins>;
}</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>
compilers are able to emit the following efficient specialization
of <tt>std::uninitialized_copy<const SomeType*, SomeType*></tt>
(note that the <tt>catch</tt> block has been optimized away):
</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>template <> SomeType*
uninitialized_copy (const SomeType *first, const SomeType *last, SomeType *res)
{
for (; first != last; ++first, ++res)
::new (res) SomeType (*first);
return res;
}</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>
Another general example is default constructors which, when decorated
with <tt>throw()</tt>, allow the compiler to eliminate the
implicit <tt>try</tt> and <tt>catch</tt> blocks that it otherwise must
emit around each the invocation of the constructor
in <i>new-expressions</i>.
</p>
<p>
For example, given the following definitions of
class <tt>MayThrow</tt> and <tt>WontThrow</tt> and the two
statements below:
</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>struct MayThrow {
MayThrow ();
};
struct WontThrow {
WontThrow () <ins>throw ()</ins>;
};
MayThrow *a = new MayThrow [N];
WontThrow *b = new WontThrow [N];</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>
the compiler generates the following code for the first statement:
</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>MayThrow *a;
{
MayThrow *first = operator new[] (N * sizeof (*a));
MayThrow *last = first + N;
MayThrow *next = first;
try {
for ( ; next != last; ++next)
new (next) MayThrow;
}
catch (...) {
for ( ; first != first; --next)
next->~MayThrow ();
operator delete[] (first);
throw;
}
a = first;
}</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>
but it is can generate much more compact code for the second statement:
</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>WontThrow *b = operator new[] (N * sizeof (*b));
WontThrow *last = b + N;
for (WontThrow *next = b; next != last; ++next)
new (next) WontThrow;
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>
Second, in order for users to get the maximum benefit out of the new
<tt>std::has_nothrow_xxx</tt> traits when using standard library types
it will be important for implementations to decorate all non throwing
copy constructors and assignment operators with <tt>throw()</tt>. Note
that while an optimizer may be able to tell whether a function without
an explicit exception specification can throw or not based on its
definition, it can only do so when it can see the source code of the
definition. When it can't it must assume that the function may
throw. To prevent violating the One Definition Rule,
the <tt>std::has_nothrow_xxx</tt> trait must return the most
pessimistic guess across all translation units in the program, meaning
that <tt>std::has_nothrow_xxx<T>::value</tt> must evaluate to
<tt>false</tt> for any <tt>T</tt> whose <tt>xxx</tt>
(where <tt>xxx</tt> is default or copy ctor, or assignment operator)
is defined out-of-line.
</p>
<p>
<b>Counterarguments:</b>
</p>
<p>
During the discussion of this issue
on <a href="mailto:c++std-lib@accu.org">c++std-lib@accu.org</a>
(starting with post <tt>c++std-lib-21950</tt>) the following arguments
in favor of the "<i>Throws:</i> Nothing." style have been made.
</p>
<p>
</p><ol>
<li>
Decorating functions that cannot throw with the empty exception
specification can cause the compiler to generate suboptimal code for
the implementation of the function when it calls other functions that
aren't known to the compiler not to throw (i.e., that aren't decorated
with <tt>throw()</tt> even if they don't actually throw). This is a
common situation when the called function is a C or POSIX function.
</li>
<li>
Alternate, proprietary mechanisms exist (such as
GCC <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.3.0/gcc/Function-Attributes.html#index-g_t_0040code_007bnothrow_007d-function-attribute-2160"><tt>__attribute__((nothrow))</tt></a>
or Visual
C++ <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/49147z04%28VS.80%29.aspx"><tt>__declspec(nothrow)</tt></a>)
that let implementers mark up non-throwing functions, often without
the penalty mentioned in (1) above. The C++ standard shouldn't
preclude the use of these potentially more efficient mechanisms.
</li>
<li>
There are functions, especially function templates, that invoke
user-defined functions that may or may not be
declared <tt>throw()</tt>. Declaring such functions with the empty
exception specification will cause compilers to generate suboptimal
code when the user-defined function isn't also declared not to throw.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
The answer to point (1) above is that implementers can (and some have)
declare functions with <tt>throw()</tt> to indicate to the compiler
that calls to the function can safely be assumed not to throw in order
to allow it to generate efficient code at the call site without also
having to define the functions the same way and causing the compiler
to generate suboptimal code for the function definition. That is, the
function is declared with <tt>throw()</tt> in a header but it's
defined without it in the source file. The <tt>throw()</tt>
declaration is suppressed when compiling the definition to avoid
compiler errors. This technique, while strictly speaking no permitted
by the language, is safe and has been employed in practice. For
example, the GNU C library takes this approach. Microsoft Visual C++
takes a similar approach by simply assuming that no function with C
language linkage can throw an exception unless it's explicitly
declared to do so using the language extension <tt>throw(...)</tt>.
</p>
<p>
Our answer to point (2) above is that there is no existing practice
where C++ Standard Library implementers have opted to make use of the
proprietary mechanisms to declare functions that don't throw. The
language provides a mechanism specifically designed for this
purpose. Avoiding its use in the specification itself in favor of
proprietary mechanisms defeats the purpose of the feature. In
addition, making use of the empty exception specification
inconsistently, in some areas of the standard, while conspicuously
avoiding it and making use of the "<i>Throws:</i> Nothing." form in
others is confusing to users.
</p>
<p>
The answer to point (3) is simply to exercise caution when declaring
functions and especially function templates with the empty exception
specification. Functions that required not to throw but that may call
back into user code are poor candidates for the empty exception
specification and should instead be specified using "<i>Throws:</i>
Nothing." clause.

Perhaps we should limit rvalue args to swap to those types that would

eliminate the rvalue swap overloads altogether. The original motivation

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
I was looking at the latest draft on <tt>forward_list</tt>. Especially the splice methods.
</p>
<p>
The first one splices a whole list after a given iterator in <tt>this</tt>. The name is <tt>splice_after</tt>.
I think in 23.3.3.5 [forwardlist.ops] paragraph 40
change:
</p>
<blockquote>
<i>Effect:</i> Insert the contents of <tt>x</tt> <del>before</del> <ins>after</ins> <tt>position</tt>, ...
</blockquote>
<p>
A deeper issue involves the complexity. <tt>forward_list</tt> has no <tt>size</tt> and we
don't know when we've reached the end except to walk up to it. To
splice we would need to hook the end of the source list to the item
after <tt>position</tt> in this list. This would involve walking length of the
source list until we got to the last dereference-able element in source.
There's no way we could do this in O(1) unless we stored a bogus end in
<tt>forward_list</tt>.
</p>
<p>
OTOH, the last version of <tt>splice_after</tt> with iterator ranges we could do
in O(1) because we know how to hook the end of the source range to ...
</p>
<p>
Unless I'm misconceiving the whole thing. Which is possible. I'll look at it again.
</p>
<p>
I'm pretty sure about the first part though.

</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
There are actually 3 issues here:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>
What value should <tt>erase_after</tt> return? With <tt>list</tt>, code often
looks like:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>for (auto i = l.begin(); i != l.end();)
{
// inspect *i and decide if you want to erase it
// ...
if (I want to erase *i)
i = l.erase(i);
else
++i;
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
I.e. the iterator returned from <tt>erase</tt> is useful for setting up the
logic for operating on the next element. For <tt>forward_list</tt> this might
look something like:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>auto i = fl.before_begin();
auto ip1 = i;
for (++ip1; ip1 != fl.end(); ++ip1)
{
// inspect *(i+1) and decide if you want to erase it
// ...
if (I want to erase *(i+1))
i = fl.erase_after(i);
else
++i;
ip1 = i;
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
In the above example code, it is convenient if <tt>erase_after</tt> returns
the element <i>prior</i> to the erased element (range) instead of the element
<i>after</i> the erase element (range).
</p>
<p>
Existing practice:
</p>
<ul>
<li>SGI slist returns an iterator referencing the element <i>after</i> the erased range.</li>
<li>CodeWarrior slist returns an iterator referencing the element <i>before</i> the erased range.</li>
</ul>
<p>
There is not a strong technical argument for either solution over the other.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
With all other containers, operations always work on the range
<tt>[first, last)</tt> and/or <i>prior to</i> the given <tt>position</tt>.
</p>
<p>
With <tt>forward_list</tt>, operations sometimes work on the range
<tt>(first, last]</tt> and/or <i>after</i> the given <tt>position</tt>.
</p>
<p>
This is simply due to the fact that in order to operate on
<tt>*first</tt> (with <tt>forward_list</tt>) one needs access to
<tt>*(first-1)</tt>. And that's not practical with
<tt>forward_list</tt>. So the operating range needs to start with <tt>(first</tt>,
not <tt>[first</tt> (as the current working paper says).
</p>
<p>
Additionally, if one is interested in splicing the range <tt>(first, last)</tt>,
then (with <tt>forward_list</tt>), one needs practical (constant time) access to
<tt>*(last-1)</tt> so that one can set the <i>next</i> field in this node to
the proper value. As this is not possible with <tt>forward_list</tt>, one must
specify the last element of interest instead of one past the last element of
interest. The syntax for doing this is to pass <tt>(first, last]</tt> instead
of <tt>(first, last)</tt>.
</p>
<p>
With <tt>erase_after</tt> we have a choice of either erasing the range
<tt>(first, last]</tt> <em>or</em> <tt>(first, last)</tt>. Choosing the latter
enables:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>x.erase_after(pos, x.end());
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
With the former, the above statement is inconvenient or expensive due to the lack
of constant time access to <tt>x.end()-1</tt>. However we could introduce:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>iterator erase_to_end(const_iterator position);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
to compensate.
</p>
<p>
The advantage of the former (<tt>(first, last]</tt>) for <tt>erase_after</tt>
is a consistency with <tt>splice_after</tt> which uses <tt>(first, last]</tt>
as the specified range. But this either requires the addition of <tt>erase_to_end</tt>
or giving up such functionality.
</p>
</li>
<li>
As stated in the discussion of <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-closed.html#892">892</a>, and reienforced by point 2 above,
a <tt>splice_after</tt> should work on the source range <tt>(first, last]</tt>
if the operation is to be <i>Ο</i>(1). When splicing an entire list <tt>x</tt> the
algorithm needs <tt>(x.before_begin(), x.end()-1]</tt>. Unfortunately <tt>x.end()-1</tt>
is not available in constant time unless we specify that it must be. In order to
make <tt>x.end()-1</tt> available in constant time, the implementation would have
to dedicate a pointer to it. I believe the design of
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2543.htm">N2543</a>
intended a nominal overhead of <tt>foward_list</tt> of 1 pointer. Thus splicing
one <i>entire</i> <tt>forward_list</tt> into another can not be <i>Ο</i>(1).

<p>
The requires clause on the <tt>const T &</tt> overloads in
<tt>back_insert_iterator/front_insert_iterator/insert_iterator</tt> mean that the
assignment operator will implicitly move from lvalues of a move-only type.
</p>
<p>
Suggested resolutions are:
</p>
<ol type="a">
<li>
Add another overload with a negative constraint on copy-constructible
and flag it "= delete".
</li>
<li>
Drop the copy-constructible overload entirely and rely on perfect
forwarding to catch move issues one level deeper.
</li>
<li>
This is a fundamental problem in move-syntax that relies on the
presence of two overloads, and we need to look more deeply into this
area as a whole - do not solve this issue in isolation.

<p>
<tt>numeric_limits</tt> has functions specifically designed to return NaNs, which
break the model of <tt>Regular</tt> (via its axioms.) While floating point types
will be acceptible in many algorithms taking <tt>Regular</tt> values, it is not
appopriate for this specific API and we need a less refined constraint.
</p>
<p>FR 32:</p>
<blockquote>
The definition of <tt>numeric_limits<></tt> as requiring a regular
type is both conceptually wrong and operationally illogical. As we
pointed before, this mistake needs to be corrected. For example, the
template can be left unconstrained. In fact this reflects a much more
general problem with concept_maps/axioms and their interpretations. It
appears that the current text heavily leans toward experimental academic
type theory.
</blockquote>
<p>DE 16:</p>
<blockquote>
The class template <tt>numeric_limits</tt> should not specify the Regular concept
requirement for its template parameter, because it contains functions
returning NaN values for floating-point types; these values violate the
semantics of EqualityComparable.

<p>
A few questions on the current WP,
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2723.pdf">N2723</a>:
</p>
<p>
30.4.1 [thread.mutex.requirements]/24 says an expression
<tt>mut.unlock()</tt> "Throws: Nothing." I'm assuming that, per 17.6.3.11 [res.on.required], errors that violate the precondition "The
calling thread shall own the mutex" opens the door for throwing an
exception anyway, such as to report unbalanced unlock operations and
unlocking from a thread that does not have ownership. Right?
</p>
<p>
30.4.1.1 [thread.mutex.class]/3 (actually numbered paragraph "27"
in the WP; this is just a typo I think) says
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The behavior of a program is undefined if:
</p>
<ul>
<li>it destroys a <tt>mutex</tt> object owned by any thread,</li>
<li>a thread that owns a <tt>mutex</tt> object calls <tt>lock()</tt> or <tt>try_lock()</tt> on that object, or</li>
<li>a thread terminates while owning a <tt>mutex</tt> object.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>
As already discussed, I think the second bullet should be removed, and
such a <tt>lock()</tt> or <tt>try_lock()</tt> should fail with an
exception or returning <tt>false</tt>, respectively.
</p>
<p>
A potential addition to the list would be
</p>
<ul>
<li>a thread unlocks a <tt>mutex</tt> it does not have ownership of.</li>
</ul>
<p>
but without that the status quo text endorses the technique of the
program logically transferring ownership of a mutex to another thread
with correctness enforced by programming discipline. Was that intended?

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The currently proposed constraint on <tt>initializer_list</tt>'s element type
<tt>E</tt> is that is has to meet <tt>ObjectType</tt>. This is an underspecification,
because both core language and library part of <tt>initializer_list</tt>
make clear, that it references an implicitly allocated array:
</p>
<p>
8.5.4 [dcl.init.list]/4:
</p>
<blockquote>
When an initializer list is implicitly converted to a
<tt>std::initializer_list<E></tt>, the object passed is constructed as if the
implementation allocated an array of N elements of type <tt>E</tt>, where
N is the number of elements in the initializer list.[..]
</blockquote>
<p>
18.9 [support.initlist]/2.
</p>
<blockquote>
An object of type <tt>initializer_list<E></tt> provides access to an array of
objects of type <tt>const E</tt>.[..]
</blockquote>
<p>
Therefore, <tt>E</tt> needs to fulfill concept <tt>ValueType</tt> (thus excluding
abstract class types). This stricter requirement should be added
to prevent deep instantiation errors known from the bad old times,
as shown in the following example:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>// Header A: (Should concept-check even in stand-alone modus)
template <DefaultConstructible T>
requires MoveConstructible<T>
void generate_and_do_3(T a) {
std::initializer_list<T> list{T(), std::move(a), T()};
...
}
void do_more();
void do_more_or_less();
template <DefaultConstructible T>
requires MoveConstructible<T>
void more_generate_3() {
do_more();
generate_and_do_3(T());
}
template <DefaultConstructible T>
requires MoveConstructible<T>
void something_and_generate_3() {
do_more_or_less();
more_generate_3();
}
// Test.cpp
#include "A.h"
class Abstract {
public:
virtual ~Abstract();
virtual void foo() = 0; // abstract type
Abstract(Abstract&&){} // MoveConstructible
Abstract(){} // DefaultConstructible
};
int main() {
// The restricted template *accepts* the argument, but
// causes a deep instantiation error in the internal function
// generate_and_do_3:
something_and_generate_3<Abstract>();
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
The proposed stricter constraint does not minimize the aim to
support more general containers for which <tt>ObjectType</tt> would be
sufficient. If such an extended container (lets assume it's still a
class template) provides a constructor that accepts an <tt>initializer_list</tt>
only <em>this</em> constructor would need to be restricted on <tt>ValueType</tt>:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template<ObjectType T>
class ExtContainer {
public:
requires ValueType<T>
ExtContainer(std::initializer_list<T>);
...
};

<p>
The deleted copy-assignment operators for the atomic types are not
marked as volatile in N2723, whereas the assignment operators from the
associated non-atomic types are. e.g.
</p>
<blockquote><pre>atomic_bool& operator=(atomic_bool const&) = delete;
atomic_bool& operator=(bool) volatile;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
This leads to ambiguity when assigning a non-atomic value to a
non-volatile instance of an atomic type:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>atomic_bool b;
b=false;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Both assignment operators require a standard conversions: the
copy-assignment operator can use the implicit <tt>atomic_bool(bool)</tt>
conversion constructor to convert <tt>false</tt> to an instance of
<tt>atomic_bool</tt>, or <tt>b</tt> can undergo a qualification conversion in order to
use the assignment from a plain <tt>bool</tt>.
</p>
<p>
This is only a problem once issue <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#845">845</a> is applied.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Right now, the <tt>compare_exchange_weak</tt> loop should rapidly converge on the
padding contents. But <tt>compare_exchange_strong</tt> will require a bit more
compiler work to ignore padding for comparison purposes.
</p>
<p>
Note that this isn't a problem for structs with no padding, and we do
already have one portable way to ensure that there is no padding that
covers the key use cases: Have elements be the same type. I suspect that
the greatest need is for a structure of two pointers, which has no
padding problem. I suspect the second need is a structure of a pointer
and some form of an integer. If that integer is <tt>intptr_t</tt>, there will be
no padding.
</p>
<p>
Related but separable issue: For unused bitfields, or other unused
fields for that matter, we should probably say it's the programmer's
responsibility to set them to zero or otherwise ensure they'll be
ignored by <tt>memcmp</tt>.
</p>
<p>
<b>Proposed resolutions:</b> Using
<tt>atomic<struct-with-padding>::compare_exchange_strong</tt> should be either:

</li>
</ol>
<p>
I propose Option 1 for C++0x for expediency, though I'm not sure how to
say it. I would be happy with Option 2, which I believe would mean that
<tt>compare_exchange_strong</tt> would be implemented to avoid comparing padding
bytes, or something equivalent such as always zeroing out padding when
loading/storing/comparing. (Either implementation might require compiler
support.)

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p><b>Addresses UK 313</b></p>
<p>
There was an interesting issue raised over on comp.programming.threads
today regarding the following example
</p>
<blockquote><pre>// Thread 1:
x.store(1, memory_order_relaxed); // SX
atomic_thread_fence(memory_order_seq_cst); // F1
y.store(1, memory_order_relaxed); // SY1
atomic_thread_fence(memory_order_seq_cst); // F2
r1 = y.load(memory_order_relaxed); // RY
// Thread 2:
y.store(0, memory_order_relaxed); // SY2
atomic_thread_fence(memory_order_seq_cst); // F3
r2 = x.load(memory_order_relaxed); // RX
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
is the outcome <tt>r1 == 0</tt> and <tt>r2 == 0</tt> possible?
</p>
<p>
I think the intent is that this is not possible, but I am not sure the
wording guarantees that. Here is my analysis:
</p>
<p>
Since all the fences are SC, there must be a total order between them.
<tt>F1</tt> must be before <tt>F2</tt> in that order since they are in
the same thread. Therefore <tt>F3</tt> is either before <tt>F1</tt>,
between <tt>F1</tt> and <tt>F2</tt> or after <tt>F2</tt>.
</p>
<p>
If <tt>F3</tt> is <em>after</em> <tt>F2</tt>, then we can apply 29.3 [atomics.order]p5 from
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2798.pdf">N2798</a>:
</p>
<blockquote>
For atomic operations <tt>A</tt> and <tt>B</tt> on an atomic object
<tt>M</tt>, where <tt>A</tt> modifies <tt>M</tt> and <tt>B</tt> takes
its value, if there are <tt>memory_order_seq_cst</tt> fences <tt>X</tt>
and <tt>Y</tt> such that <tt>A</tt> is sequenced before <tt>X</tt>,
<tt>Y</tt> is sequenced before <tt>B</tt>, and <tt>X</tt> precedes
<tt>Y</tt> in <tt>S</tt>, then <tt>B</tt> observes either the effects of
<tt>A</tt> or a later modification of <tt>M</tt> in its modification
order.
</blockquote>
<p>
In this case, <tt>A</tt> is <tt>SX</tt>, <tt>B</tt> is <tt>RX</tt>, the
fence <tt>X</tt> is <tt>F2</tt> and the fence <tt>Y</tt> is <tt>F3</tt>,
so <tt>RX</tt> must see 1.
</p>
<p>
If <tt>F3</tt> is <em>before</em> <tt>F2</tt>, this doesn't apply, but
<tt>F3</tt> can therefore be before or after <tt>F1</tt>.
</p>
<p>
If <tt>F3</tt> is <em>after</em> <tt>F1</tt>, the same logic applies, but this
time the fence <tt>X</tt> is <tt>F1</tt>. Therefore again, <tt>RX</tt>
must see 1.
</p>
<p>
Finally we have the case that <tt>F3</tt> is <em>before</em> <tt>F1</tt>
in the SC ordering. There are now no guarantees about <tt>RX</tt>, and
<tt>RX</tt> can see <tt>r2==0</tt>.
</p>
<p>
We can apply 29.3 [atomics.order]p5 again. This time,
<tt>A</tt> is <tt>SY2</tt>, <tt>B</tt> is <tt>RY</tt>, <tt>X</tt> is
<tt>F3</tt> and <tt>Y</tt> is <tt>F1</tt>. Thus <tt>RY</tt> must observe
the effects of <tt>SY2</tt> or a later modification of <tt>y</tt> in its
modification order.
</p>
<p>
Since <tt>SY1</tt> is sequenced before <tt>RY</tt>, <tt>RY</tt> must
observe the effects of <tt>SY1</tt> or a later modification of
<tt>y</tt> in its modification order.
</p>
<p>
In order to ensure that <tt>RY</tt> sees <tt>(r1==1)</tt>, we must see
that <tt>SY1</tt> is later in the modification order of <tt>y</tt> than
<tt>SY2</tt>.
</p>
<p>
We're now skating on thin ice. Conceptually, <tt>SY2</tt> happens-before
<tt>F3</tt>, <tt>F3</tt> is SC-ordered before <tt>F1</tt>, <tt>F1</tt>
happens-before <tt>SY1</tt>, so <tt>SY1</tt> is later in the
modification order <tt>M</tt> of <tt>y</tt>, and <tt>RY</tt> must see
the result of <tt>SY1</tt> (<tt>r1==1</tt>). However, I don't think the
words are clear on that.

In my (Hans') view, our definition of fences will always be weaker than
what particular hardware will guarantee. <tt>Memory_order_seq_cst</tt> fences
inherently don't guarantee sequential consistency anyway, for good
reasons (e.g. because they can't enforce a total order on stores).
Hence I don't think the issue demonstrates a gross failure to achieve
what we intended to achieve. The example in question is a bit esoteric.
Hence, in my view, living with the status quo certainly wouldn't be a
disaster either.

In any case, we should probably add text along the lines of the
following between p5 and p6 in 29.3 [atomics.order]:

<blockquote>
[Note: <tt>Memory_order_seq_cst</tt> only ensures sequential consistency for a
data-race-free program that uses exclusively <tt>memory_order_seq_cst</tt>
operations. Any use of weaker ordering will invalidate this guarantee

only ensure a total order for the fences themselves. They cannot, in
general, be used to restore sequential consistency for atomic operations
with weaker ordering specifications.]

<p>
In the latest working draft for C++0x, <tt>tuple</tt>'s <tt>operator==</tt> and <tt>operator<</tt>
are declared as
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template<class... TTypes, class... UTypes>
requires EqualityComparable<TTypes, UTypes>...
bool operator==(const tuple<TTypes...>& t, const tuple<UTypes...>& u);

requires LessThanComparable<TTypes, UTypes>...
bool operator<(const tuple<TTypes...>& t, const tuple<UTypes...>& u);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
But the concepts <tt>EqualityComparable</tt> and <tt>LessThanComparable</tt> only take one
parameter, not two. Also, even if <tt>LessThanComparable</tt> could take two
parameters, the definition of <tt>tuple::operator<()</tt> should also require
</p>
<blockquote><pre>LessThanComparable<UTypes, TTypes>... // (note the order)

<p>
since the algorithm for <tt>tuple::operator<</tt> is the following (pseudo-code)
</p>
<blockquote><pre>for (size_t N = 0; N < sizeof...(TTypes); ++N) {
if (get<N>(t) < get<N>(u) return true;
else if ((get<N>(u) < get<N>(t)) return false;

<h3><a name="930"></a>930. Access to std::array data as built-in array type</h3>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The Working Draft (N2798) allows access to the elements of
<tt>std::array</tt> by its <tt>data()</tt> member function:
</p>
<blockquote>
<h5>23.2.1.4 array::data [array.data]</h5>
<pre> T *data();
const T *data() const;
</pre>
<ol><li>
Returns: elems.
</li></ol>
</blockquote>
<p>
Unfortunately, the result of <tt>std::array::data()</tt> cannot be bound
to a reference to a built-in array of the type of <tt>array::elems</tt>.
And <tt>std::array</tt> provides no other way to get a reference to
<tt>array::elems</tt>.
This hampers the use of <tt>std::array</tt>, for example when trying to
pass its data to a C style API function:
</p>
<pre> // Some C style API function.
void set_path( char (*)[MAX_PATH] );
std::array<char,MAX_PATH> path;
set_path( path.data() ); // error
set_path( &(path.data()) ); // error
</pre>
<p>
Another example, trying to pass the array data to an instance of another
C++ class:
</p>
<pre> // Represents a 3-D point in space.
class three_d_point {
public:
explicit three_d_point(const double (&)[3]);
};
const std::array<double,3> coordinates = { 0, 1, 2 };
three_d_point point1( coordinates.data() ); // error.
three_d_point point2( *(coordinates.data()) ); // error.
</pre>
<p>
A user might be tempted to use <tt>std::array::elems</tt> instead, but
doing so isn't recommended, because <tt>std::array::elems</tt> is "for
exposition only". Note that Boost.Array users might already use
<tt>boost::array::elems</tt>, as its documentation doesn't explicitly
state that <tt>boost::array::elems</tt> is for exposition only:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/doc/html/boost/array.html
</p>
<p>
I can think of three options to solve this issue:
</p>
<ol><li>
Remove the words "exposition only" from the definition of
<tt>std::array::elems</tt>, as well as the note saying that "elems is
shown for exposition only."
</li><li>
Change the signature of <tt>std::array::data()</tt>, so that it would
return a reference to the built-in array, instead of a pointer to its
first element.
</li><li>
Add extra member functions, returning a reference to the built-in array.
</li></ol>
<p>
Lawrence Crowl wrote me that it might be better to leave
<tt>std::array::elems</tt> "for exposition only", to allow alternate
representations to allocate the array data dynamically. This might be
of interest to the embedded community, having to deal with very limited
stack sizes.
</p>
<p>
The second option, changing the return type of
<tt>std::array::data()</tt>, would break backward compatible to current
Boost and TR1 implementations, as well as to the other contiguous
container (<tt>vector</tt> and <tt>string</tt>) in a very subtle way.
For example, the following call to <tt>std::swap</tt> currently swap two
locally declared pointers <tt>(data1, data2)</tt>, for any container
type <tt>T</tt> that has a <tt>data()</tt> member function. When
<tt>std::array::data()</tt> is changed to return a reference, the
<tt>std::swap</tt> call may swap the container elements instead.
</p>
<pre> template <typename T>
void func(T& container1, T& container2)
{
// Are data1 and data2 pointers or references?
auto data1 = container1.data();
auto data2 = container2.data();
// Will this swap two local pointers, or all container elements?
std::swap(data1, data2);
}
</pre>
<p>
The following concept is currently satisfied by all contiguous
containers, but it no longer is for <tt>std::array</tt>, when
<tt>array::data()</tt>
is changed to return a reference (tested on ConceptGCC Alpha 7):
</p>
<pre> auto concept ContiguousContainerConcept<typename T>
{
typename value_type = typename T::value_type;
const value_type * T::data() const;
}
</pre>
<p>
Still it's worth considering having <tt>std::array::data()</tt> return a
reference, because it might be the most intuitive option, from a user's
point of view. Nicolai Josuttis (who wrote <tt>boost::array</tt>)
mailed me that he very much prefers this option.
</p>
<p>
Note that for this option, the definition of <tt>data()</tt> would also
need to be revised for zero-sized arrays, as its return type cannot be a
reference to a zero-sized built-in array. Regarding zero-sized array,
<tt>data()</tt> could throw an exception. Or there could be a partial
specialization of <tt>std::array</tt> where <tt>data()</tt> returns
<tt>T*</tt> or gets removed.
</p>
<p>
Personally I prefer the third option, adding a new member function to
<tt>std::array</tt>, overloaded for const and non-const access,
returning a reference to the built-in array, to avoid those compatible
issues. I'd propose naming the function <tt>std::array::c_array()</tt>,
which sounds intuitive to me. Note that <tt>boost::array</tt> already
has a <tt>c_array()</tt> member, returning a pointer, but Nicolai told
me that this one is only there for historical reasons. (Otherwise a name
like <tt>std::array::native_array()</tt> or
<tt>std::array::builtin_array()</tt> would also be fine with me.)
According to my proposed resolution, a zero-sized <tt>std::array</tt> does not need
to have <tt>c_array()</tt>, while it is still required to have
<tt>data()</tt> functions.

The idea to resolve the issue by adding explicit conversion operators
was abandoned, because it would be inconvenient to use, especially when

allowed <tt>c_array_type</tt> and <tt>c_array()</tt> to be absent for a zero-sized array.

<p>
Each of the three clocks specified in Clocks 20.9.5 [time.clock]
provides the member function:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>static time_point now();
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
The semantics specified by Clock requirements 20.9.1 [time.clock.req]
make no mention of error handling. Thus the function may throw <tt>bad_alloc</tt>
or an implementation-defined exception (17.6.4.11 [res.on.exception.handling]
paragraph 4).
</p>
<p>
Some implementations of these functions on POSIX, Windows, and
presumably on other operating systems, may fail in ways only detectable
at runtime. Some failures on Windows are due to supporting chipset
errata and can even occur after successful calls to a clock's <tt>now()</tt>
function.
</p>
<p>
These functions are used in cases where exceptions are not appropriate

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
30.4.1 [thread.mutex.requirements] describes the requirements for a type to be
a "Mutex type". A Mutex type can be used as the template argument for
the <tt>Lock</tt> type that's passed to <tt>condition_variable_any::wait</tt> (although
<tt>Lock</tt> seems like the wrong name here, since <tt>Lock</tt> is given a different
formal meaning in 30.4.3 [thread.lock]) and, although the WD doesn't quite say
so, as the template argument for <tt>lock_guard</tt> and <tt>unique_lock</tt>.
</p>
<p>
The requirements for a Mutex type include:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<tt>m.lock()</tt> shall be well-formed and have [described] semantics, including a return type of <tt>void</tt>.
</li>
<li>
<tt>m.try_lock()</tt> shall be well-formed and have [described] semantics, including a return type of <tt>bool</tt>.
</li>
<li>
<tt>m.unlock()</tt> shall be well-formed and have [described] semantics, including a return type of <tt>void</tt>.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Also, a Mutex type "shall not be copyable nor movable".
</p>
<p>
The latter requirement seems completely irrelevant, and the three
requirements on return types are tighter than they need to be. For
example, there's no reason that <tt>lock_guard</tt> can't be instantiated with a
type that's copyable. The rule is, in fact, that <tt>lock_guard</tt>, etc. won't
try to copy objects of that type. That's a constraint on locks, not on
mutexes. Similarly, the requirements for <tt>void</tt> return types are
unnecessary; the rule is, in fact, that <tt>lock_guard</tt>, etc. won't use any
returned value. And with the return type of <tt>bool</tt>, the requirement should
be that the return type is convertible to <tt>bool</tt>.
</p>
<p><i>[
Summit:
]</i></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Move to open. Related to conceptualization and should probably be tackled as part of that.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The intention is not only to place a constraint on what types such as
<tt>lock_guard</tt> may do with mutex types, but on what any code, including user
code, may do with mutex types. Thus the constraints as they are apply to
the mutex types themselves, not the current users of mutex types in the
standard.
</li>
<li>
This is a low priority issue; the wording as it is may be overly
restrictive but this may not be a real issue.
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p><i>[

<blockquote>
<p>
Section 30.4.1 [thread.mutex.requirements] conflates the
requirements on a generic Mutex type (including user-supplied mutexes)
with the requirements placed on the standard-supplied mutex types in an
attempt to group everything together and save space.
</p>
<p>
When applying concepts to chapter 30, I suggest that the concepts
<tt>Lockable</tt> and <tt>TimedLockable</tt> embody the requirements for
*use* of a mutex type as required by
<tt>unique_lock/lock_guard/condition_variable_any</tt>. These should be
relaxed as Pete describes in the issue. The existing words in 30.4.1 [thread.mutex.requirements] are requirements on all of
<tt>std::mutex</tt>, <tt>std::timed_mutex</tt>,
<tt>std::recursive_mutex</tt> and <tt>std::recursive_timed_mutex</tt>,
and should be rephrased as such.

specified to be distinct classes, whereas <tt>atomic_size_t</tt> et al. were

<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2427.html">N2427</a>
to the WD, that distinction was erased, and the atomic analog of every <tt><cstdint></tt>

</p>
<p>
It shouldn't be required that the atomic analog of every <tt><cstdint></tt>

<tt><cstdint></tt> is supposed to provide standard names for extended integer

interpreted to require that. But the status quo in the WD is even worse,
because it's unambiguously wrong.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The assignment and equality operators <tt>=</tt> and <tt>==</tt> are easily confused, just
because of their visual similarity, and in this case a simple typo can cause
a serious bug. When the left side of an <tt>operator=</tt> is an rvalue, it's
highly unlikely that the assignment was intended by the programmer:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>if ( func() = value ) // Typical typo: == intended!
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Built-in types don't support assignment to an rvalue, but unfortunately,
a lot of types provided by the Standard Library do.
</p>
<p>
Fortunately the language now offers a syntax to prevent a certain member
function from having an rvalue as <tt>*this</tt>: by adding a ref-qualifier (<tt>&</tt>)
to the member function declaration. Assignment operators are explicitly
mentioned as a use case of ref-qualifiers, in "Extending Move Semantics
To <tt>*this</tt> (Revision 1)",

Vandevoorde and Bronek Kozicki
</p>
<p>
Hereby I would like to propose adding ref-qualifiers to all appropriate
assignment operators in the library.

cleans up several places under 20.9.3 [time.duration] which used the
phrase "diagnostic required".
</p>
<p>
For clarity's sake, here is an example implementation of the constrained <tt>operator/</tt>:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template <class _Duration, class _Rep, bool = __is_duration<_Rep>::value>
struct __duration_divide_result
{
};
template <class _Duration, class _Rep2,
bool = is_convertible<_Rep2,
typename common_type<typename _Duration::rep, _Rep2>::type>::value>
struct __duration_divide_imp
{
};
template <class _Rep1, class _Period, class _Rep2>
struct __duration_divide_imp<duration<_Rep1, _Period>, _Rep2, true>
{
typedef duration<typename common_type<_Rep1, _Rep2>::type, _Period> type;
};
template <class _Rep1, class _Period, class _Rep2>
struct __duration_divide_result<duration<_Rep1, _Period>, _Rep2, false>
: __duration_divide_imp<duration<_Rep1, _Period>, _Rep2>
{
};
template <class _Rep1, class _Period, class _Rep2>
inline
typename __duration_divide_result<duration<_Rep1, _Period>, _Rep2>::type
operator/(const duration<_Rep1, _Period>& __d, const _Rep2& __s)
{
typedef typename common_type<_Rep1, _Rep2>::type _Cr;
duration<_Cr, _Period> __r = __d;
__r /= static_cast<_Cr>(__s);
return __r;
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
<tt>__duration_divide_result</tt> is basically a custom-built <tt>enable_if</tt>
that will contain <tt>type</tt> only if <tt>Rep2</tt> is not a <tt>duration</tt>
and if <tt>Rep2</tt> is implicitly convertible to
<tt>common_type<typename Duration::rep, Rep2>::type</tt>. <tt>__is_duration</tt>
is simply a private trait that answers <tt>false</tt>, but is specialized for
<tt>duration</tt> to answer <tt>true</tt>.
</p>
<p>
The constrained <tt>operator%</tt> works identically.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
20.9.1 [time.clock.req] requires that a clock type have a member
typedef named <tt>time_point</tt> that names an instantiation of the
template <tt>time_point</tt>, and a member named <tt>duration</tt> that
names an instantiation of the template <tt>duration</tt>. This mixing of
levels is confusing. The typedef names should be different from the
template names.
</p>
<p><i>[
Post Summit, Anthony provided proposed wording.
]</i></p>
<p><i>[
2009-05-04 Howard adds:
]</i></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The reason that the typedef names were given the same name as the class templates
was so that clients would not have to stop and think about whether they were
using the clock's native <tt>time_point</tt> / <tt>duration</tt> or the class
template directly. In this case, one person's confusion is another person's
encapsulation. The detail that sometimes one is referring to the clock's
native types, and sometimes one is referring to an independent type is
<em>purposefully</em> "hidden" because it is supposed to be an unimportant
detail. It can be confusing to have to remember when to type <tt>duration</tt>
and when to type <tt>duration_type</tt>, and there is no need to require the
client to remember something like that.
</p>
<p>
For example, here is code that I once wrote in testing out the usability of
this facility:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template <class Clock, class Duration>
void do_until(const std::chrono::<b>time_point</b><Clock, Duration>& t)
{
typename Clock::<b>time_point now</b> = Clock::now();
if (t > now)
{
typedef typename std::common_type
<
Duration,
typename std::chrono::system_clock::<b>duration</b>
>::type CD;
typedef std::chrono::<b>duration</b><double, std::nano> ID;
CD d = t - now;
ID us = duration_cast<ID>(d);
if (us < d)
++us;
...
}
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
I see no rationale to require the client to append <tt>_type</tt> to <em>some</em>
of those declarations. It seems overly burdensome on the author of <tt>do_until</tt>:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template <class Clock, class Duration>
void do_until(const std::chrono::<b>time_point</b><Clock, Duration>& t)
{
typename Clock::<b>time_point<font color="#c80000">_type</font></b> now = Clock::now();
if (t > now)
{
typedef typename std::common_type
<
Duration,
typename std::chrono::system_clock::<b>duration<font color="#c80000">_type</font></b>
>::type CD;
typedef std::chrono::<b>duration</b><double, std::nano> ID;
CD d = t - now;
ID us = duration_cast<ID>(d);
if (us < d)
++us;
...
}
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Additionally I'm fairly certain that this suggestion hasn't been implemented.
If it had, it would have been discovered that it is incomplete. <tt>time_point</tt>
also has a nested type (purposefully) named <tt>duration</tt>.
</p>
<blockquote>
That is, the current proposed wording would put the WP into an inconsistent state.
</blockquote>
<p>
In contrast,
the current WP has been implemented and I've received very favorable feedback
from people using this interface in real-world code.

Not meaning to be argumentative, but we have a decade of positive experience
with the precedent of using the same name for the nested type as an external
class representing an identical concept.

<p>
I am aware of <em>zero</em> complaints regarding the use of <tt>iterator</tt>
and <tt>reverse_iterator</tt> as nested types of the containers despite these
names also having related meaning at namespace std scope.

Would we really be doing programmers a favor by renaming these nested types?

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Previous versions of the Draft had a table, defining the Assignable
requirement. For example
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2006/n2134.pdf">N2134</a>
Table 79, "Assignable requirements". But I guess the term "Assignable"
is outdated by now, because the current Committee Draft provides
<tt>MoveAssignable</tt>, <tt>CopyAssignable</tt>, and <tt>TriviallyCopyAssignable</tt> concepts
instead. And as far as I can see, it no longer has a definition of
<tt>Assignable</tt>. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) Still the word
"Assignable" is used in eight places in the Draft,
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2800.pdf">N2800</a>.
</p>
<p>
Are all of those instances of "<tt>Assignable</tt>" to be replaced by "<tt>CopyAssignable</tt>"?

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
I think that the Note of D.10.1 [auto.ptr], paragraph 3 needs a rewrite
since "Assignable" is no longer defined as a concept.
The relationship of <tt>auto_ptr</tt> with the new <tt>CopyAssignable</tt>, <tt>MoveAssignable</tt>,
and <tt>MoveConstructible</tt> concepts should be clarified.
Furthermore, since the use of <tt>auto_ptr</tt> is depreciated anyway,
we can also omit a description of its intended use.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The new concepts for the insert iterators mandate an extra copy when
inserting an lvalue:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>requires CopyConstructible<Cont::value_type>
back_insert_iterator<Cont>&
operator=(const Cont::value_type& value);
</pre>
<blockquote>
-1- <i>Effects:</i> <tt>push_back(*container, <b>Cont::value_type(</b>value<b>)</b>);</tt>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>
The reason is to convert <tt>value</tt> into an rvalue because the current
<tt>BackInsertionContainer</tt> concept only handles <tt>push_back</tt>-ing
rvalues:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>concept BackInsertionContainer<typename C> : Container<C> {
void push_back(C&, value_type&&);
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Without the conversion of <tt>value</tt> to an rvalue, the assignment operator
fails to concept check.
</p>
<p>
A solution is to modify the <tt>BackInsertionContainer</tt> concept so that
the client can pass in the parameter type for <tt>push_back</tt> similar to
what is already done for the <tt>OutputIterator</tt> concept:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>concept BackInsertionContainer<typename C, typename Value = C::value_type&&>
: Container<C> {
void push_back(C&, Value);
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
This allows the assignment operator to be adjusted appropriately:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>requires BackInsertionContainer<Cont, Cont::value_type const&> &&
CopyConstructible<Cont::value_type>
back_insert_iterator<Cont>&
operator=(const Cont::value_type& value);
</pre>
<blockquote>
-1- <i>Effects:</i> <tt>push_back(*container, value);</tt>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>

POSIX 2008 adds two return values for <tt>pthread_mutex_xxxlock()</tt>:
<tt>EOWNERDEAD</tt> (<tt>owner_dead</tt>) and <tt>ENOTRECOVERABLE</tt>
(<tt>state_not_recoverable</tt>). In the first case the mutex is locked,
in the second case the mutex is not locked.
</p>
<p>
Throwing an exception in the first case can be incompatible with the use
of Locks, since the <tt>Lock::owns_lock()</tt> will be <tt>false</tt> when the lock is
being destroyed.
</p>
<p>
Consider:

unique_lock ul(&mutex);
//mutex left locked if "owner_dead" is thrown

<p>

<p>
The example in 6.9p2 shows how late_check blocks inhibit concept_map lookup
inside a constrained context, and so inhibit concept map adaption by users
to meet template requirements.
</p>
<p>
Do we need some text in clause 17 prohibitting use of late_check in library
template definitions unless otherwise documented?
</p>
<p><i>[
Doug adds:
]</i></p>
<blockquote>
We need something like this, but it should be a more general statement
about implementations respecting the concept maps provided by the
user. Use of late_check is one way in which implementations can
subvert the concept maps provided by the user, but there are other
ways as well ("pattern-based" overloading, tricks with "auto" concept
maps and defaulted associated type arguments).

</p>
<p>
<tt>adjacent_find</tt> in C++03 allows an arbitrary predicate, but in C++0x
<tt>EqualityComparable/EquivalenceRelation</tt> is required. This forbids a
number of use cases, including:
</p>
<blockquote>
<table>
<tbody><tr>
<td valign="top">
<tt>adjacent_find(begin, end, less<double>)</tt>
</td>
<td>
Find the first
place where a range is not ordered in decreasing order - in use to check
for sorted ranges.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<tt>adjacent_find(begin, end, DistanceBiggerThan(6) ) )</tt>
</td>
<td>
Find the first
place in a range where values differ by more than a given value - in use
to check an algorithm which produces points in space does not generate
points too far apart.
</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</blockquote>
<p>
A number of books use predicate which are not equivalence relations in
examples, including "Thinking in C++" and "C++ Primer".
</p>
<p>
Adding the requirement that the predicate is an <tt>EquivalenceRelation</tt>
does not appear to open up any possibility for a more optimised algorithm.

<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>

<p>
Related to <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-closed.html#1063">1063</a>.
</p>
<p>
This is effectively an extension of LWG issue <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-closed.html#343">343</a>.
</p>
<p>
We know there is an increasing trend (encouraged by conformance testers and
some users) that each library header should supply no more than required to
satisfy the synopsis in the standard. This is typically achieved by
breaking larger headers into smaller subsets, and judicious use of forward
declarations.
</p>
<p>
If we apply this policy to C++0x (per
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2800.pdf">N2800</a>)
it will be very surprising for
people using library algorithms over ranges defined by pointers that they
must <tt>#include <iterator_concepts></tt> for their code to compile again. That is
because pointers do not satisfy any of the iterator concepts without the
<tt>concept_map</tt> supplied in this header.
</p>
<p>
Therefore, I suggest we should require all library headers that make use of
iterator concepts are specifically required to <tt>#include <iterator_concepts></tt>.
</p>
<p>
At a minimum, the list of headers would be: (assuming all are constrained by
concepts)
</p>
<blockquote><pre>algorithm
array
deque
forward_list
initializer_list
iterator
locale
list
map
memory // if <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-closed.html#1029">1029</a> is adopted
memory_concepts
numeric
random
regex
set
string
tuple
unordered_map
unordered_set
utility
vector
</pre></blockquote>
<p><i>[
Ganesh adds:
]</i></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The same problems exists for <tt><memory_concepts></tt> and
<tt><container_concepts></tt>.
</p>
<p>
In order to compile <tt><vector></tt> you just need the
definitions of the concepts in <tt><memory_concepts></tt>, the
concept maps defined there are not necessary. Yet, from the user point
of view, if the concept map template for <tt>AllocatableElement</tt> are
not in scope, <tt><vector></tt> is pretty useless. Same for
<tt><tuple></tt> and <tt>ConstructibleWithAllocator</tt>.
</p>
<p>
Similarly, <tt><queue></tt> is not very useful if the concept map
template for <tt>QueueLikeContainer</tt> is not in scope, although the
definition of concept alone is theoretically sufficient.
</p>
<p>
There's a pattern here: if a concept has concept maps "attached", they
should never be separated.

One of goals of C++0x is to make language easier to teach and for
'incidental' programmers. The fine-grained headers of the C++ library
are valuable in large scale systems for managing dependencies and
optimising build times, but overcomplicated for simple development and
tutorials. Add additional headers to support the whole library through a
single include statement.

<p>
The post-increment operator is dangerous for a general InputIterator.
The multi-pass guarantees that make it meaningful are defined as part of
the ForwardIterator refinement. Any change will affect only constrained
templates that have not yet been written, so should not break existing
user iterators which remain free to add these operations. This change
will also affect the generalised OutputIterator, although there is no
percieved need for the post-increment operator in this case either.

The requirement that programs do not supply <tt>concept_maps</tt> should
probably be users do not supply their own <tt>concept_map</tt>
specializations. The program will almost certainly supply
<tt>concept_maps</tt> - the standard itself supplies a specialization
for <tt>RvalueOf</tt> references. Note that the term <i>program</i> is
defined in 3.5 [basic.link]p1 and makes no account of the

With three subsections requiring the same constraint, I'm wondering if there
is a better way to organise this section.
Possible 20.2.1 -> 20.2.3 belong in the fundamental concepts clause in
[concept.support]? While they can be implemented purely as a
library feature without additional compiler support, they are pretty
fundamental and we want the same restriction on user-concept maps as is

Specifications now expressed via narrative text are more accurately and

Wherever concepts are available that directly match this section's type
traits, express the traits in terms of the concepts instead of via
narrative text. Where the type traits do not quite match the

<tt>std::allocator</tt> should be constrained to simplify its use on constrained
contexts. This library component models allocation from free store via the
new operator so choose constraints to
match. The Allocator concept allows for a wider variety of allocators that
users may choose to supply if their allocation model does not require
operator new, without impacting the
requirements of this template.
</p>
<p>
Suggested direction:
</p>
<p>
The primary allocator template should be constrained to require
<tt>ObjectType<T></tt> and <tt>FreeStoreAllocatable<T></tt>.
Further operations to be constrained as required.

The implementation of such a member is non-trivial (and maybe

<p>
I took an online poll and got 3 votes for NAD and 3 for NAD Future. Personally
I prefer NAD Future as this does refer to an extension that could conceivably be
considered beyond C++0X.
</p>
<p>
However such an extension would need to solve a couple of problems:
</p>
<ol>
<li>What is the interface for such a conversion when the <tt>shared_ptr</tt> does
not have unique ownership? Throw an exception? Create a null <tt>unique_ptr</tt>?
Undefined behavior?
</li>
<li>
<p>
How does one handle custom deleters given to the <tt>shared_ptr</tt> constructor?
</p>
<p>
I do not believe it is possible to implement a general answer to this question.
The <tt>shared_ptr</tt> deleter is a run time (or construction time) characteristic.
The <tt>unique_ptr</tt> deleter is a compile time characteristic. In general one
can not know to what type of <tt>unqiue_ptr</tt> you are converting to.
</p>
<p>
One answer is for the user of the conversion to specify the deleter type and perhaps
throw an exception if the specification turns out to be incorrect.
</p>
<p>
Another answer is for the conversion to only be valid when the underlying deleter
is <tt>default_delete</tt>. We would probalby need to specify that this is indeed the
underlying deleter of a <tt>shared_ptr</tt> when a custom deleter is not given in
the constructor.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>
At any rate, there are non-trivial design issues which would need to be implemented
and tested in the field for usability prior to standardization.

<p>
The validity of the expression <tt>&a[n] == &a[0] + n</tt> is contingent on
<tt>operator&</tt> doing the "right thing" (as captured by the <tt>CopyConstructible</tt>
requirements in table 30 in C++2003). However this constraint has been
lost in the Concepts of C++0x. This applies to <tt>vector</tt> and <tt>array</tt> (it
actually applies to <tt>string</tt> also, but that's a different chapter, so I'll
file a separate comment there and cross-reference).
</p>
<p>
Suggested solution:
</p>
<p>
Define a <tt>ContiguousStrorage</tt> and apply it to
<tt>vector</tt>, <tt>array</tt> and <tt>string</tt>.

<tt>future</tt>, <tt>promise</tt> and <tt>packaged_task</tt> provide a
framework for creating future values, but a simple function to tie all

</p>
<p>
Simple Proposal:
</p>
<p>
Provide a simple function along the lines of:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template< typename F, typename ... Args >
requires Callable< F, Args... >
future< Callable::result_type > async( F&& f, Args && ... );
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Semantics are similar to creating a <tt>thread</tt> object with a <tt>packaged_task</tt>
invoking <tt>f</tt> with <tt>forward<Args>(args...)</tt>
but details are left unspecified to allow different scheduling and thread
spawning implementations.
</p>
<p>
It is unspecified whether a task submitted to async is run on its own thread
or a thread previously used for another async task. If a call to <tt>async</tt>
succeeds, it shall be safe to wait for it from any thread.
</p>
<p>
The state of <tt>thread_local</tt> variables shall be preserved during <tt>async</tt> calls.
</p>
<p>
No two incomplete async tasks shall see the same value of
<tt>this_thread::get_id()</tt>.
</p>
<p>
[<i>Note:</i> this effectively forces new tasks to be run on a new thread, or a
fixed-size pool with no queue. If the
library is unable to spawn a new thread or there are no free worker threads
then the <tt>async</tt> call should fail. <i>--end note</i>]

<p>
The concurrency subgroup has revisited this issue and decided that it
could be considered a defect according to the Kona compromise. A task
group was formed lead by Lawrence Crowl and Bjarne Stroustrup to write a
paper for Frankfort proposing a simple asynchronous launch facility
returning a <tt>future</tt>. It was agreed that the callable must be run on a
separate thread from the caller, but not necessarily a brand-new thread.
The proposal might or might not allow for an implementation that uses
fixed-size or unlimited thread pools.
</p>
<p>
Bjarne in c++std-lib-23121: I think that what we agreed was that to
avoid deadlock <tt>async()</tt> would almost certainly be specified to launch in
a different thread from the thread that executed <tt>async()</tt>, but I don't

The reason the return type became unspecified is LWG issue <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#386">386</a>. This
reasoning no longer applies as there are at least two ways to get the right

IMO, my original comment regarding ill-formedness of the described

In fact with the existence of default template arguments for function

My example does not really proof that the specification is easy, but

"b." is disallowed as this function is meant to only change the lvalue/rvalue

Jason has expressed concern that "b." is not dangerous and is useful in contexts

It would be useful to be able to determine the underlying
type of an arbitrary enumeration type. This would allow
safe casting to an integral type (especially needed for
scoped enums, which do not promote), and would allow
use of <tt>numeric_limits</tt>. In general it makes generic

Pete observes (and Tom concurs)
that the proposed resolution seems to require compiler support

To a first approximation,
a library solution could give an answer based on the size of the type.
If the user has specialized <tt>numeric_limits</tt> for the enumerated type,
then the library might be able to do better,

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The <tt>RandomNumberEngineAdaptor</tt> concept breaks precedent in the
way the library has been specified by grouping requirements into a
concept that is never actually used in the library.
</p>
<p>
This is undoubtedly a very helpful device for documentation, but we are not
comfortable with the precedent - especially as we have rejected national
body comments on the same grounds.
</p>
<p>
Suggest either removing the concept, or providing an algorithm/type that
requires this concept in their definition (such as a factory function to
create new engines).
</p>
<p>
The preference is to create a single new algorithm and retain the value of
the existing documentation.

<p>
Walter points out that it is unlikely that any algorithm would ever
require this concept, but that the concept nonetheless is useful as
documentation, and (via concept maps) as a means of checking specific adapters.
</p>
<p>
Alisdair disagrees as to the concept's value as documentation.
</p>
<p>
Marc points out that the <tt>RandomNumberDistribution</tt>

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Due to a deliberate core language decision, the earlier called
"foundation" concept <tt>std::FunctionType</tt> had been removed in
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2773.pdf">N2773</a>
shortly
before the first "conceptualized" version of the WP
(<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2798.pdf">N2798</a>)
had been
prepared. This caused a break of the library, which already used this
concept in the adapted definition of <tt>std::function</tt>
(20.7 [function.objects]/2, header <tt><functional></tt> synopsis and
20.7.15.2 [func.wrap.func]).
</p>
<p>
A simple fix would be to either (a) make <tt>std::function</tt>'s primary template
unconstrained or to (b) add constraints based on existing (support) concepts.
A more advanced fix would (c) introduce a new library concept.
</p>
<p>
The big disadvantage of (a) is, that users can define templates which
cause compiler errors during instantiation time because of under-constrainedness
and would thus violate the basic advantage of constrained
code.
</p>
<p>
For (b), the ideal constraints for <tt>std::function</tt>'s template parameter would
be one which excludes everything else but the single provided partial
specialization that matches every "free function" type (i.e. any function
type w/o cv-qualifier-seq and w/o ref-qualifier).
Expressing such a type as as single requirement would be written as
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template<typename T>
requires ReferentType<T> // Eliminate cv void and function types with cv-qual-seq
// or ref-qual (depending on core issue #749)
&& PointeeType<T> // Eliminate reference types
&& !ObjectType<T> // Eliminate object types
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Just for completeness approach (c), which would make sense, if the
library has more reasons to constrain for free function types:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>auto concept FreeFunctionType<typename T>
: ReferentType<T>, PointeeType<T>, MemberPointeeType<T>
{
requires !ObjectType<T>;
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
I mention that approach because I expect that free function types belong
to the most natural type categories for every days coders. Potential
candidates in the library are <tt>addressof</tt> and class template <tt>packaged_task</tt>.
</p>
<p><i>[
Batavia (2009-05):
]</i></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Alisdair would prefer to have a core-supported <tt>FunctionType</tt> concept
in order that any future changes be automatically correct
without need for a library solution to catch up;
he points to type traits as a precedent.
Further, he believes that a published concept can't in the future
be changed.
</p>
<p>
Bill feels this category of entity would change sufficiently slowly
that he would be willing to take the risk.
</p>
<p>
Of the discussed solutions, we tend toward option (c).
We like the idea of having a complete taxonomy of native types,
and perhaps erred in trimming the set.
</p>
<p>
We would like to have this issue reviewed by Core and would like
their feedback. Move to Open.

It is odd that we have an iterator to insert into a <tt>vector</tt>, but not an
iterator to insert into a <tt>vector</tt> that is adapted as a <tt>stack</tt>. The standard
container adapters all have a common interface to <tt>push</tt> and <tt>pop</tt> so it should
be simple to create an iterator adapter to complete the library support.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
One of the motivating examples for introducing requirements-aliases was to
simplify the wording of the <tt>inner_product</tt> requirements. As the paper
adopting the feature and constrained wording for the library went through in
the same meeting, it was not possible to make the change at the time. The
simpler form should be adopted now though. Similarly, most the other
numerical algorithms can benefit from a minor cleanup.
</p>
<p>
Note that in each case, the second more generalised form of the algorithm
does not benefit, as there are already named constraints supplied by the
template type parameters.

Actually, this is incorrect,

X [allocator.element.concepts] paragraph 8, modify the definition of the
<tt>AllocatableElement</tt> concept and eliminate the related concept map:" but
then neglects to include the red-lined text of the concept map that was
to be eliminated. Pete also missed this, but I caught it he asked me to
review his edits. Pete's updated WP removes the concept map entirely,
which was the original intent. The issue is, therefore, moot. Note, as
per my presentation of

in summit, <tt>construct()</tt> no longer has a
default implementation. This regrettable fact was deemed (by David
Abrahams, Doug, and myself) to be preferable to the complexity of
providing a default implementation that would not under-constrain a more
restrictive allocator (like the scoped allocators).

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p><b>Addresses US 65 and US 74.1</b></p>
<p>US 65:</p>
<blockquote>
Scoped allocators and allocator propagation traits add a small amount of
utility at the cost of a great deal of machinery. The machinery is user
visible, and it extends to library components that don't have any
obvious connection to allocators, including basic concepts and simple
components like <tt>pair</tt> and <tt>tuple</tt>.
<p>Suggested resolution:</p>
<p>
Sketch of proposed resolution: Eliminate scoped allocators, replace
allocator propagation traits with a simple uniform rule (e.g. always
propagate on copy and move), remove all mention of allocators from
components that don't explicitly allocate memory (e.g. pair), and adjust
container interfaces to reflect this simplification.
</p>
<p>
Components that I propose eliminating include HasAllocatorType,
is_scoped_allocator, allocator_propagation_map, scoped_allocator_adaptor,
and ConstructibleAsElement.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>US 74.1:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Scoped allocators represent a poor trade-off for standardization, since
(1) scoped-allocator--aware containers can be implemented outside the
C++ standard library but used with its algorithms, (2) scoped
allocators only benefit a tiny proportion of the C++ community
(since few C++ programmers even use today's allocators), and (3) all C++
users, especially the vast majority of the C++ community that won't ever
use scoped allocators are forced to cope with the interface complexity
introduced by scoped allocators.
</p>
<p>
In essence, the larger community will suffer to support a very small
subset of the community who can already implement their own
data structures outside of the standard library. Therefore, scoped
allocators should be removed from the working paper.
</p>
<p>
Some evidence of the complexity introduced by scoped allocators:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
20.3.4 [pairs], 20.5 [tuple]: Large increase in the
number of pair and tuple constructors.
</p>
<p>
23 [containers]: Confusing "AllocatableElement" requirements throughout.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Suggested resolution:</p>
<p>
Remove support for scoped allocators from the working paper. This
includes at least the following changes:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Remove X [allocator.element.concepts]
</p>
<p>
Remove 20.8.9 [allocator.adaptor]
</p>
<p>
Remove 20.8.12 [construct.element]
</p>
<p>
In Clause 23 [containers]: replace requirements naming the
<tt>AllocatableElement</tt> concept with requirements naming <tt>CopyConstructible</tt>,
<tt>MoveConstructible</tt>, <tt>DefaultConstructible</tt>, or <tt>Constructible</tt>, as
appropriate.
</p>
</blockquote>

<p><i>[
Post Summit Alan moved from NAD to Open.

<p><i>[

<blockquote>
<p>
The requirement <tt>AllocatableElement</tt> should not be replaced with
<tt>Constructible</tt> on the <tt>emplace_xxx()</tt> functions as suggested. In the
one-parameter case the <tt>Constructible</tt> requirement is not satisfied when
the constructor is explicit (as per [concept.map.fct], twelfth
bullet) but we do want to allow explicit constructors in emplace, as the
following example shows:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>vector<shared_ptr<int>> v;
v.emplace_back(new int); <font color="#c80000">// should be allowed</font>
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
If the issue is accepted and scoped allocators are removed, I suggest to
add a new pair of concepts to [concept.construct], namely:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>auto concept HasExplicitConstructor<typename T, typename... Args> {
explicit T::T(Args...);
}
auto concept ExplicitConstructible<typename T, typename... Args>
: HasExplicitConstructor<T, Args...>, NothrowDestructible<T>
{ }
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
We should then use <tt>ExplicitConstructible</tt> as the requirement for all
<tt>emplace_xxx()</tt> member functions.
</p>
<p>
For coherence and consistency with the similar concepts
<tt>Convertible/ExplicitlyConvertible</tt>, we might also consider changing
<tt>Constructible</tt> to:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>auto concept Constructible<typename T, typename... Args>
: HasConstructor<T, Args...>, ExplicitConstructible<T, Args...>
{ }
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Moreover, all emplace-related concepts in [container.concepts]
should also use <tt>ExplicitConstructible</tt> instead of <tt>Constructible</tt> in the
definitions of their axioms. In fact the concepts in [container.concepts] should be
corrected even if the issue is not accepted.
</p>
<p>
On the other hand, if the issue is not accepted, the scoped allocator
adaptors should be fixed because the following code:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template <typename T> using scoped_allocator = scoped_allocator_adaptor<allocator<T>>;
vector<shared_ptr<int>, scoped_allocator<shared_ptr<int>>> v;
v.emplace_back(new int); <font color="#c80000">// ops! doesn't compile</font>
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
doesn't compile, as the member function <tt>construct()</tt> of the scoped
allocator requires non-explicit constructors through concept
<tt>ConstructibleWithAllocator</tt>. Fixing that is not difficult but probably
more work than it's worth and is therefore, IMHO, one more reason in
support of the complete removal of scoped allocators.
</p>

<p>
I reopened this issue because I did not think that these National Body
comments were adequately addressed by marking them NAD. My understanding
is that something can be marked NAD if it is clearly a misunderstanding
or trivial, but a substantive issue that has any technical merit
requires a disposition that addresses the concerns.
</p>
<p>
The notes in the NB comment list (US 65 & US 74.1) say that:
</p>
<ol type="a">
<li>
this issue has not introduced any new arguments not previously discussed,
</li>
<li>
the vote (4-9-3) was not a consensus for removing scoped allocators,
</li>
<li>
the issue is resolved by
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2009/n2840.pdf">N2840</a>.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
My opinion is:
</p>
<ol type="a">
<li>
there are new arguments in both comments regarding concepts (which were
not present in the library when the scoped allocator proposal was voted
in),
</li>
<li>
the vote was clearly not a consensus for removal, but just saying there
was a vote does not provide a rationale,
</li>
<li>
I do not believe that N2840 addresses these comments (although it does
many other things and was voted in with strong approval).
</li>
</ol>
<p>
My motivation to open the issue was to ensure that the NB comments were
adequately addressed in a way that would not risk a "no" vote on our
FCD. If there are responses to the technical concerns raised, then
perhaps they should be recorded. If the members of the NB who authored
the comments are satisfied with N2840 and the other disposition remarks
in the comment list, then I am sure they will say so. In either case,
this issue can be closed very quickly in Frankfurt, and hopefully will
have helped make us more confident of approval with little effort. If in
fact there is controversy, my thought is that it is better to know now
rather than later so there is more time to deal with it.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Astonishingly, the current concept ArithmeticLike as specified in
X [concept.arithmetic] does not provide explicit conversion
to <tt>bool</tt> although this is a common property of arithmetic types
(4.12 [conv.bool]). Recent proposals that introduced such types
(integers of arbitrary precision,
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2143.pdf">n2143</a>,
decimals
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2732.pdf">n2732</a>
indirectly
via conversion to <tt>long long</tt>) also took care of such a feature.
</p>
<p>
Adding such an explicit conversion associated function would also
partly solve a currently invalid effects clause in library, which bases
on this property, 24.2.5 [random.access.iterators]/2:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>{ difference_type m = n;
if (m >= 0) while (m--) ++r;
else while (m++) --r;
return r; }
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Both while-loops take advantage of a contextual conversion to <tt>bool</tt>
(Another problem is that the >= comparison uses the no
longer supported existing implicit conversion from <tt>int</tt> to <tt>IntegralLike</tt>).
</p>
<b>Original proposed resolution:</b>
<ol>
<li>
<p>
In X [concept.arithmetic], add to the list of less refined
concepts one further concept:

</li>
<li>
<p>
In 24.2.5 [random.access.iterators]/2 change the current effects clause
as indicated [The proposed insertion fixes the problem that the previous
implicit construction from integrals has been changed to an explicit
constructor]:

The content of this sub-clause is purely trying to describe in words the
effect of the requires clauses on these operations, now that we have
Concepts. As such, the description is more confusing than the signature
itself. The semantic for these functions is adequately covered in the
requirements tables in 23.2.4 [associative.reqmts].

<p>
I have the impression that even the wording of current draft
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2009/n2857.pdf">N2857</a>
does insufficiently express the intent of <tt>vector</tt>'s
reallocation strategy. This has produced not too old library
implementations which release memory in the <tt>clear()</tt> function
and even modern articles about C++ programming cultivate
the belief that <tt>clear</tt> is allowed to do exactly this. A typical
example is something like this:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>const int buf_size = ...;
std::vector<T> buf(buf_size);
for (int i = 0; i < some_condition; ++i) {
buf.resize(buf_size);
write_or_read_data(buf.data());
buf.clear(); // Ensure that the next round get's 'zeroed' elements
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
where still the myth is ubiquitous that <tt>buf</tt> might be
allowed to reallocate it's memory *inside* the <tt>for</tt> loop.
</p>
<p>
IMO the problem is due to the fact, that
</p>
<ol type="a">
<li>
the actual memory-reallocation stability of <tt>std::vector</tt>
is explained in 23.3.6.2 [vector.capacity]/3 and /6 which
are describing just the effects of the <tt>reserve</tt>
function, but in many examples (like above) there
is no explicit call to <tt>reserve</tt> involved. Further-more
23.3.6.2 [vector.capacity]/6 does only mention <em>insertions</em>
and never mentions the consequences of erasing
elements.
</li>
<li>
<p>
the effects clause of <tt>std::vector</tt>'s <tt>erase</tt> overloads in
23.3.6.4 [vector.modifiers]/4 is silent about capacity changes. This
easily causes a misunderstanding, because the counter
parting insert functions described in 23.3.6.4 [vector.modifiers]/2
explicitly say, that
</p>
<blockquote>
Causes reallocation if the new size is greater than the
old capacity. If no reallocation happens, all the iterators
and references before the insertion point remain valid.
</blockquote>
<p>
It requires a complex argumentation chain about four
different places in the standard to provide the - possibly
weak - proof that calling <tt>clear()</tt> also does <em>never</em> change
the capacity of the <tt>std::vector</tt> container. Since <tt>std::vector</tt>
is the de-facto replacement of C99's dynamic arrays this
type is near to a built-in type and it's specification should
be clear enough that usual programmers can trust their

<p>
Here's a common example: We have many ISV customers who have built lots of
in-house STL-like containers. Imagine that, for the past ten years, the user
has been happily using his <tt>XYZCorpContainer<T></tt> that has <tt>begin()</tt> and <tt>end()</tt>
and an iterator typedef, and indeed satisfies nearly all of <tt>Container</tt>,
though maybe not quite all just like <tt>valarray</tt>. The user upgrades to a
range-enabled version of a library, and now <tt>lib_algo( xyz.begin(), xyz.end());</tt>
no longer works -- compiler error.
</p>
<p>
Even though <tt>XYZCorpContainer</tt> matches the pre-conceptized version of the
algorithm, and has been working for years, it appears the user has to write
at least this:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template<class T> concept_map Range<XYZCorpContainer<T>> {};
template<class T> concept_map Range<const XYZCorpContainer<T>> {};
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Is that correct?
</p>
<p>
But he may actually have to write this as we do for initializer list:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template<class T>
concept_map Range<XYZCorpContainer<T>> {
typedef T* iterator;
iterator begin(XYZCorpContainer<T> c) { return c.begin(); }
iterator end(XYZCorpContainer<T> c) { return c.end(); }
};
template<class T>
concept_map Range<const XYZCorpContainer<T>> {
typedef T* iterator;
iterator begin(XYZCorpContainer<T> c) { return c.begin(); }
iterator end(XYZCorpContainer<T> c) { return c.end(); }
};
</pre></blockquote>

I recommend NAD, although remain concerned about header organisation.
</p>
<p>
A user container will satisfy the <tt>MemberContainer</tt> concept, which IS auto.
There is a concept_map for all <tt>MemberContainers</tt> to <tt>Container</tt>, and then a
further concept_map for all <tt>Container</tt> to <tt>Range</tt>, so the stated problem is not
actually true. User defined containers will automatically match the <tt>Range</tt>
concept without explicitly declaring a concept_map.
</p>
<p>
The problem is that they should now provide an additional two headers,
<tt><iterator_concepts></tt> and <tt><container_concepts></tt>.
The only difference from
making <tt>Range</tt> an auto concept would be this reduces to a single header,
<tt><iterator_concepts></tt>.
</p>
<p>
I am strongly in favour of any resolution that tackles the issue of
explicitly requiring concept headers to make these concept maps available.

<p>
In the <tt>shared_future</tt> class definition in 30.6.7 [future.shared_future]
the move constructor
that constructs a <tt>shared_future</tt> from an <tt>unique_future</tt> receives the
parameter by value. In paragraph 3, the same constructor receives it as
const value.

I think that is a mistake and the constructor should take a r-value
reference:

<p>
It is not currently possible to construct <tt>tuple</tt> literal values,
even if the elements are all literal types. This is because parameters
are passed to constructor by reference.
</p>
<p>
An alternative would be to pass all constructor arguments by value, where it
is known that *all* elements are literal types. This can be determined with
concepts, although note that the negative constraint really requires
factoring out a separate concept, as there is no way to provide an 'any of
these fails' constraint inline.
</p>
<p>
Note that we will have similar issues with <tt>pair</tt> (and
<tt>tuple</tt> constructors from <tt>pair</tt>) although I am steering
clear of that class while other constructor-related issues settle.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The copy constructor for the <tt>tuple</tt> template is constrained. This seems an
unusual strategy, as the copy constructor will be implicitly deleted if the
constraints are not met. This is exactly the same effect as requesting an
<tt>=default;</tt> constructor. The advantage of the latter is that it retains
triviality, and provides support for <tt>tuple</tt>s as literal types if issue
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-closed.html#1116">1116</a> is also accepted.
</p>
<p>
Actually, it might be worth checking with core if a constrained copy
constructor is treated as a constructor template, and as such does not
suppress the implicit generation of the copy constructor which would hide
the template in this case.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Sometimes it is necessary to remove all qualifiers from a type before
passing on to a further API. A good example would be calling the
<tt>tuple</tt> query APIs <tt>tuple_size</tt> or <tt>tuple_element</tt>
with a deduced type inside a function template. If the deduced type is
cv-qualified or a reference then the call will fail. The solution is to
chain calls to
<tt>remove_cv<remove_reference<T>::type>::type</tt>, and
note that the order matters.
</p>
<p>
Suggest it would be helpful to add a new type trait,
<tt>remove_all</tt>, that removes all top-level qualifiers from a type
i.e. cv-qualification and any references. Define the term in such a way
that if additional qualifiers are added to the language, then
<tt>remove_all</tt> is defined as stripping those as well.
</p>

<blockquote>
<tt>remove_all</tt> seems too generic, a possible alternative matching
the current naming style could be <tt>remove_cv_reference</tt> or
<tt>remove_reference_cv</tt>. It should also be considered whether this
trait should also remove 'extents', or pointer 'decorations'. Especially
if the latter situations are considered as well, it might be easier to
chose the name not in terms of what it <em>removes</em> (which might be
a lot), but in terms of it <em>creates</em>. In this case I could think
of e.g. <tt>extract_value_type</tt>.

<p>
A recent news group
<a href="http://groups.google.de/group/comp.std.c++/browse_frm/thread/8eb92768a19fb46f">article</a>
points to several defects in the
specification of reference-related concepts.
</p>
<p>
One problem of the concept <tt>RvalueOf</tt> as currently defined in
X [concept.transform]:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>concept RvalueOf<typename T> {
typename type = T&&;
requires ExplicitlyConvertible<T&,type> && Convertible<T&&,type>;
}
template<typename T> concept_map RvalueOf<T&> {
typedef T&& type;
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
is that if <tt>T</tt> is an lvalue-reference, the requirement
<tt>Convertible<T&&,type></tt> isn't satisfied for
lvalue-references, because after reference-collapsing in the concept
definition we have <tt>Convertible<T&,type></tt> in this case,
which isn't satisfied in the concept map template and also is not the
right constraint either. I think that the reporter is right that
<tt>SameType</tt> requirements should do the job and that we also should
use the new <tt>RvalueReference</tt> concept to specify a best matching
type requirement.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
In X [concept.transform] before p. 4 change as indicated:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>auto concept RvalueOf<typename T> {
<del>typename</del><ins>RvalueReference</ins> type = T&&;

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
The deprecated support for <tt>iterator_traits</tt> and legacy (unconstrained)
iterators features the (exposition only) concept:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>concept IsReference<typename T> { } // exposition only
template<typename T> concept_map IsReference<T&> { }
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Now this looks exactly like the <tt>LvalueReference</tt> concept recently added to
clause 20, so I wonder if we should use that instead?
Then I consider the lack of rvalue-reference support, which means that
<tt>move_iterator</tt> would always flag as merely supporting the <tt>input_iterator_tag</tt>
category. This suggests we retain the exposition concept, but add a second
concept_map to support rvalue references.
</p>
<p>
I would suggest adding the extra concept_map is the right way forward, but
still wonder if the two exposition-only concepts in this clause might be
worth promoting to clause 20. That question might better be answered with a
fuller investigation of type_trait/concept unification though.
</p>
<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
In Iterator traits 24.4.1 [iterator.traits] para 4 add:
</p>

<p>
The <tt><iterator></tt> header synopsis declares a partial specialization of
<tt>iterator_traits</tt> to support pointers, X [iterator.syn]. The implication
is that specialization will be described in D10, yet it did not follow the
rest of the deprecated material into this clause.
</p>
<p>
However, this is not as bad as it first seems!
There are partial specializations of <tt>iterator_traits</tt> for types that satisfy
the various Iterator concepts, and there are concept_maps for pointers to
explicitly support the <tt>RandomAccessIterator</tt> concept, so the required
template will be present - just not in the manner advertised.
</p>
<p>
I can see two obvious solutions:
</p>
<ol type="i">
<li>
Restore the <tt>iterator_traits<T*></tt> partial specialization in D.10
</li>
<li>
Remove the declaration of <tt>iterator_traits<T*></tt> from 24.3 synopsis
</li>
</ol>
<p>
I recommend option (ii) in the wording below
</p>
<p>
Option (ii) could be extended to strike all the declarations of deprecated
material from the synopsis, as it is effectively duplicating D.10 anyway.
This is the approach taken for deprecated library components in the 98/03
standards. This is probably a matter best left to the Editor though.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
<tt>istream_iterator</tt> and <tt>istreambuf_iterator</tt> should support literal sentinel
values. The default constructor is frequently used to terminate ranges, and
could easily be a literal value for <tt>istreambuf_iterator</tt>, and
<tt>istream_iterator</tt> when iterating value types. A little more work using a
suitably sized/aligned char-array for storage (or an updated component like
<tt>boost::optional</tt> proposed for TR2) would allow <tt>istream_iterator</tt> to support
<tt>constexpr</tt> default constructor in all cases, although we might leave this
tweak as a QoI issue. Note that requiring <tt>constexpr</tt> be supported also
allows us to place no-throw guarantees on this constructor too.
</p>
<p><i>[
2009-06-02 Daniel adds:

<blockquote>
<p>
I agree with the usefulness of the issue suggestion, but we need
to ensure that <tt>istream_iterator</tt> <em>can</em> satisfy be literal if needed.
Currently this is not clear, because 24.6.1 [istream.iterator]/3 declares
a copy constructor and a destructor and explains their semantic in
24.6.1.1 [istream.iterator.cons]/3+4.
</p>
<p>
The prototype semantic specification is ok (although it seems
somewhat redundant to me, because the semantic doesn't say
anything interesting in both cases), but for support of trivial class
types we also need a trivial copy constructor and destructor as of
9 [class]/6. The current non-informative specification of these
two special members suggests to remove their explicit declaration
in the class and add explicit wording that says that if <tt>T</tt> is
trivial a default constructed iterator is also literal, alternatively it
would be possible to mark both as defaulted and add explicit
(memberwise) wording that guarantees that they are trivial.
</p>
<p>
Btw.: I'm quite sure that the <tt>istreambuf_iterator</tt> additions to
ensure triviality are not sufficient as suggested, because the
library does not yet give general guarantees that a defaulted
special member declaration makes this member also trivial.
Note that e.g. the atomic types do give a general statement!
</p>
<p>
Finally there is a wording issue: There does not exist something
like a "literal constructor". The core language uses the term
"constexpr constructor" for this.

<p>
Prospect
</p>
<p>
We will focus on the method A() since the other methods, also main(), occur
only once respectively.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
In the List A above (of the nested exception handling), it is hard to
find out an active reason to use the nested exception handling at this
scene. Rather, we can take a simpler description by throwing the entire
exception_list directly to the top level.
</li>
<li>
The code in the same example gives us a kind of redundant impression,
which might have come from the fact that the try-throw-catch framework does
not assume a tree structured exception handling.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
According to the above observation, we cannot help concluding that it is not
so easy to use the nested_exception handling as a tree structured exception
handling mechanism in a practical sense.

<p>
The "lockfree" facilities do not tell the programmer enough.
</p>
<p>
There are 2 problems here.
First, at least on x86,
it's less important to me whether some integral types are lock free
than what is the largest type I can pass to atomic and have it be lock-free.
For example, if <tt>long long</tt>s are not lock-free,
<tt>ATOMIC_INTEGRAL_LOCK_FREE</tt> is probably 1,
but I'd still be interested in knowing whether longs are always lock-free.
Or if long longs at any address are lock-free,
I'd expect <tt>ATOMIC_INTEGRAL_LOCK_FREE</tt> to be 2,
but I may actually care whether I have access to
the <code>cmpxchg16b</code> instruction.
None of the support here helps with that question.
(There are really 2 related questions here:
what alignment requirements are there for lock-free access;
and what processor is the program actually running on,
as opposed to what it was compiled for?)
</p>
<p>
Second, having <tt>atomic_is_lock_free</tt> only apply to individual objects
is pretty useless
(except, as Lawrence Crowl points out,
for throwing an exception when an object is unexpectedly not lock-free).
I'm likely to want to use its result to decide what algorithm to use,
and that algorithm is probably going to allocate new memory
containing atomic objects and then try to act on them.
If I can't predict the lock-freedom of the new object
by checking the lock-freedom of an existing object,
I may discover after starting the algorithm that I can't continue.
</p>
<p><i>[
2009-06-16 Jeffrey Yasskin adds:
]</i></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
To solve the first problem, I think 2 macros would help:
<tt>MAX_POSSIBLE_LOCK_FREE_SIZE</tt> and <tt>MAX_GUARANTEED_LOCK_FREE_SIZE</tt>,
which expand to the maximum value of <tt>sizeof(T)</tt> for which atomic may
(or will, respectively) use lock-free operations.
Lawrence points out that this
"relies heavily on implementations
using word-size compare-swap on sub-word-size types,
which in turn requires address modulation."
He expects that to be the end state anyway, so it doesn't bother him much.
</p>
<p>
To solve the second,
I think one could specify that equally aligned objects of the same type
will return the same value from <tt>atomic_is_lock_free()</tt>.
I don't know how to specify "equal alignment".
Lawrence suggests an additional function, <tt>atomic_is_always_lock_free()</tt>.

<p>
The C++0X draft
declares all of the functions dealing with atomics (section 29.6 [atomics.types.operations])
to take volatile arguments.
Yet it also says (29.4-3),
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
[ Note: Many operations are volatile-qualified.
The "volatile as device register" semantics have not changed in the standard.
This qualification means that volatility is preserved
when applying these operations to volatile objects.
It does not mean that operations on non-volatile objects become volatile.
Thus, volatile qualified operations on non-volatile objects
may be merged under some conditions. —end note ]
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
I was thinking about how to implement this in gcc,
and I believe that we'll want to overload most of the functions
on volatile and non-volatile.
Here's why:
</p>
<p>
To let the compiler take advantage of the permission
to merge non-volatile atomic operations and reorder atomics in certain,
we'll need to tell the compiler backend
about exactly which atomic operation was used.
So I expect most of the functions of the form atomic_<op>_explicit()
(e.g. atomic_load_explicit, atomic_exchange_explicit,
atomic_fetch_add_explicit, etc.)
to become compiler builtins.
A builtin can tell whether its argument was volatile or not,
so those functions don't really need extra explicit overloads.
However, I don't expect that we'll want to add builtins
for every function in chapter 29,
since most can be implemented in terms of the _explicit free functions:
</p>
<pre><code>class atomic_int {
__atomic_int_storage value;
public:
int fetch_add(int increment, memory_order order = memory_order_seq_cst) volatile {
// &value has type "volatile __atomic_int_storage*".
atomic_fetch_add_explicit(&value, increment, order);
}
...
};
</code></pre>
<p>
But now this <em>always</em> calls
the volatile builtin version of atomic_fetch_add_explicit(),
even if the atomic_int wasn't declared volatile.
To preserve volatility and the compiler's permission to optimize,
I'd need to write:
</p>
<pre><code>class atomic_int {
__atomic_int_storage value;
public:
int fetch_add(int increment, memory_order order = memory_order_seq_cst) volatile {
atomic_fetch_add_explicit(&value, increment, order);
}
int fetch_add(int increment, memory_order order = memory_order_seq_cst) {
atomic_fetch_add_explicit(&value, increment, order);
}
...
};
</code></pre>
<p>
But this is visibly different from the declarations in the standard
because it's now overloaded.
(Consider passing &atomic_int::fetch_add as a template parameter.)
</p>
<p>
The implementation may already have permission to add overloads
to the member functions:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
17.6.4.5 [member.functions] An implementation may declare additional non-virtual
member function signatures within a class:<br>
...
</p>
<ul>
<li>by adding a member function signature for a member function name.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>
but I don't see an equivalent permission to add overloads to the free functions.

...
axiom NonemptyRange(G& g) {

...

</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Since the parameter <tt>G</tt> is in scope throughout the concept, there is no
need for the axiom to be further parameterized, and so the axiom can be
slightly simplified as:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>axiom NonemptyRange() {
G::min() < G::max();
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
We can further reformulate so as to avoid any axiom machinery as:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>requires True< G::min() < G::max() >;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
This is not only a simpler statement of the same requirement, but also
forces the requirement to be checked.

<p>Not clear what
it means for a public constructor to be 'exposition only'.
If the intent is purely to support the library calling this

<p><b>Description</b></p>
<p>It is possible
to transfer ownership of the asynchronous result from one
unique_future instance to another via the move-constructor.
However, it is not possible to transfer it back, and nor is
it possible to create a default-constructed unique_future
instance to use as a later move target. This unduly limits
the use of <tt>unique_future</tt> in code. Also, the lack of a
move-assignment operator restricts the use of <tt>unique_future</tt>
in containers such as <tt>std::vector</tt> - <tt>vector::insert</tt> requires
move-assignable for example.</p>
<p><b>Suggestion</b></p>
<p>Add a default constructor with the
semantics that it creates a <tt>unique_future</tt> with no
associated asynchronous result. Add a move-assignment
operator which transfers ownership.</p>

CopyConstructible, but not CopyAssignable. This is
inconsistent with <tt>shared_ptr</tt>, and will surprise users.
Users will then write work-arounds to provide this
behaviour. We should provide it simply and efficiently as
part of shared_future. Note that since the shared_future
member functions for accessing the state are all declared
const, the original usage of an immutable shared_future
value that can be freely copied by multiple threads can be
retained by declaring such an instance as "<tt>const
shared_future</tt>".</p>
<p><b>Suggestion</b></p>
<p>Remove "=delete"
from the copy-assignment operator of shared_future. Add a
move-constructor <tt>shared_future(shared_future&&
rhs)</tt>, and a move-assignment operator <tt>shared_future&
operator=(shared_future&& rhs)</tt>. The postcondition
for the copy-assignment operator is that <tt>*this</tt> has the same
associated state as <tt>rhs</tt>. The postcondition for the
move-constructor and move assignment is that <tt>*this</tt> has the

<p>Allocator-specific move and copy behavior for containers
(<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2525.pdf">N2525</a>) complicates a little-used and already-complicated
portion of the standard library (allocators), and breaks
the conceptual model of move-constructor and
move-assignment operations on standard containers being
efficient operations. The extensions for allocator-specific
move and copy behavior should be removed from the working
paper.</p>
<p>With the
introduction of rvalue references, we are teaching
programmers that moving from a standard container (e.g., a
<tt>vector<string></tt>) is an efficient, constant-time
operation. The introduction of <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2525.pdf">N2525</a> removed that
guarantee; depending on the behavior of four different
traits (20.8.4), the complexity of copy and move operations
can be constant or linear time. This level of customization
greatly increases the complexity of standard containers,
and benefits only a tiny fraction of the C++ community.</p>
<p><b>Suggestion</b></p>
<p>Remove 20.8.4.</p>
<p>Remove 20.8.5.</p>

<p>
<tt>LessThanComparable</tt> requires (and provides default
implementations for) <=,>, and >=. However, the defaults
don't take effect in unconstrained code.
</p>
<p>
Still, it's a problem to have types acting one way in
constrained code and another in unconstrained code, except in cases of
syntax adaptation. It's also inconsistent with the containers, which
supply all those operators.
</p>
<p>
Totally Unbiased
Suggested Resolution:
</p>
<p>
accept the exported concept maps proposal and
change the way this stuff is handled to use an
explicit exported concept map rather than nested
function templates
</p>
<p>
e.g., remove from the body of <tt>std::list</tt>
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template <LessThanComparable T, class Allocator>
bool operator< (const list<T,Allocator>& x, const list<T,Allocator>& y);
template <LessThanComparable T, class Allocator>
bool operator> (const list<T,Allocator>& x, const list<T,Allocator>& y);
template <LessThanComparable T, class Allocator>
bool operator>=(const list<T,Allocator>& x, const list<T,Allocator>& y);
template <LessThanComparable T, class Allocator>
bool operator<=(const list<T,Allocator>& x, const list<T,Allocator>& y);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
and add this concept_map afterwards:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template <LessThanComparable T, class Allocator>
export concept_map LessThanComparable<list<T,Allocator> >
{
bool operator<(const list<T,Allocator>& x, const list<T,Allocator>& y);
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
do similarly for <tt>std::pair</tt>. While you're at it, do the same for
<tt>operator==</tt> and <tt>!=</tt> everywhere, and seek out other such opportunities.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
I believe the two functions
<tt>select_on_container_(copy|move)_construction()</tt> are over-constrained. For
example, the return value of the "copy" version is (see
X [allocator.concepts.members]/21):
</p>
<blockquote>
<i>Returns:</i> <tt>x</tt> if the allocator should propagate from the existing
container to the new container on copy construction, otherwise <tt>X()</tt>.
</blockquote>
<p>
Consider the case where a user decides to provide an explicit concept
map for Allocator to adapt some legacy allocator class, as he wishes to
provide customizations that the <tt>LegacyAllocator</tt> concept map template
does not provide. Now, although it's true that the legacy class is
required to have a default constructor, the user might have reasons to
prefer a different constructor to implement
<tt>select_on_container_copy_construction()</tt>. However, the current wording
requires the use of the default constructor.
</p>
<p>
Moreover, it's not said explicitly that <tt>x</tt> is supposed to be the
allocator of the existing container. A clarification would do no harm.

<p>
I've been implementing compiler support for <tt>is_standard_layout</tt>, and
noticed a few nits about 20.6.4.3 [meta.unary.prop]:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
There's no trait for "trivially copyable type", which is now the
property that lets you do bitwise copying of a type, and therefore seems
useful to be able to query. <tt>has_trivial_assign</tt> &&
<tt>has_trivial_copy_constructor</tt> && <tt>has_trivial_destructor</tt>
is similar, but
not identical, specifically with respect to const types.
</li>
<li>
<tt>has_trivial_copy_constructor</tt> and <tt>has_trivial_assign</tt> lack the "or an
array of such a class type" language that most other traits in that
section, including <tt>has_nothrow_copy_constructor</tt> and <tt>has_nothrow_assign</tt>,
have; this seems like an oversight.

<p>
While reviewing <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-closed.html#971">971</a> I noted that 17.5.1.4 [structure.specifications]/7 says:
</p>
<blockquote>
-7- Error conditions specify conditions where a function may fail. The
conditions are listed, together with a suitable explanation, as the <tt>enum
class errc</tt> constants (19.5) that could be used as an argument to
function <tt>make_error_condition</tt> (19.5.3.6).
</blockquote>
<p>
This paragraph should mention <tt>make_error_code</tt> or the text "that
could be used as an argument to function <tt>make_error_condition</tt>
(19.5.3.6)" should be deleted. I believe this is editorial.
</p>
<p><i>[
2009-07-21 Chris adds:

<blockquote>
<p>
I'm not convinced there's a problem there, because as far as the "Error
conditions" clauses are concerned, make_error_condition() is used by a
user to test for the condition, whereas make_error_code is not. For
example:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>void foobar(error_code& ec = throws());
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Error conditions:
</p>
<blockquote>
permission_denied - Insufficient privilege to perform operation.
</blockquote>
<p>
When a user writes:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>error_code ec;
foobar(ec);
if (ec == errc::permission_denied)
...
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
the implicit conversion <tt>errc->error_condition</tt> makes the if-test
equivalent to:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>if (ec == make_error_condition(errc::permission_denied))
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
On the other hand, if the user had written:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>if (ec == make_error_code(errc::permission_denied))
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
the test is now checking for a specific error code. The test may
evaluate to <tt>false</tt> even though <tt>foobar()</tt> failed due to the documented
error condition "Insufficient privilege".

it would be clearer to just delete "that could be used as an argument to

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Several parts of the library use the notion of "Diagnostic required"
to indicate that
in the corresponding situation an error diagnostic should occur, e.g.
20.8.14.1.1 [unique.ptr.dltr.dflt]/2
</p>
<blockquote><pre>void operator()(T *ptr) const;
</pre>
<blockquote>
<i>Effects:</i> calls <tt>delete</tt> on <tt>ptr</tt>. A diagnostic is required if <tt>T</tt> is an
incomplete type.
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>
The problem with this approach is that such a requirement is
insufficient to prevent
undefined behavior, if this situation occurs. According to 1.3.3 [defns.diagnostic]
a <i>diagnostic message</i> is defined as
</p>
<blockquote>
a message belonging to an implementation-defined subset of the
implementation's output messages.
</blockquote>
<p>
which doesn't indicate any relation to an ill-formed program. In fact,
"compiler warnings"
are a typical expression of such diagnostics. This means that above
wording can be interpreted
by compiler writers that they satisfy the requirements of the standard
if they just produce
such a "warning", if the compiler happens to compile code like this:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>#include <memory>
struct Ukn; // defined somewhere else
Ukn* create_ukn(); // defined somewhere else
int main() {
std::default_delete<Ukn>()(create_ukn());
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
In this and other examples discussed here it was the authors intent to
guarantee that the
program is ill-formed with a required diagnostic, therefore such
wording should be used instead.
According to the general rules outlined in 1.4 [intro.compliance] it
should be sufficient
to require that these situations produce an ill-formed program and the
"diagnostic
required" part should be implied. The proposed resolution also
suggests to remove
several <i>redundant</i> wording of "Diagnostics required" to ensure that
the absence of
such saying does not cause a misleading interpretation.
</p>
<p><i>[
2009 Santa Cruz:
]</i></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Move to NAD.
</p>
<p>It's not clear that there's any important difference between
"ill-formed" and "diagnostic required". From 1.4 [intro.compliance],
1.3.5 [defns.ill.formed], and 1.3.15 [defns.well.formed] it appears
that an ill-formed program is one
that is not correctly constructed according to the syntax rules and
diagnosable semantic rules, which means that... "a conforming
implementation shall issue at least one diagnostic message." The
author's intent seems to be that we should be requiring a fatal error
instead of a mere warning, but the standard just doesn't have language
to express that distinction. The strongest thing we can ever require is
a "diagnostic".
</p>
<p>
The proposed rewording may be a clearer way of expressing the same thing
that the WP already says, but such a rewording is editorial.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
27.7.2.9 [ostream.rvalue] was created to preserve the ability to insert
into (and extract from 27.7.1.6 [istream.rvalue]) rvalue streams:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template <class charT, class traits, class T>
basic_ostream<charT, traits>&
operator<<(basic_ostream<charT, traits>&& os, const T& x);
</pre>
<blockquote>
<p>
1 <i>Effects:</i> <tt>os << x</tt>
</p>
<p>
2 <i>Returns:</i> <tt>os</tt>
</p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>
This is good as it allows code that wants to (for example) open, write to, and
close an <tt>ofstream</tt> all in one statement:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>std::ofstream("log file") << "Some message\n";
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
However, I think we can easily make this "rvalue stream helper" even easier to
use. Consider trying to quickly create a formatted string. With the current
spec you have to write:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>std::string s = static_cast<std::ostringstream&>(std::ostringstream() << "i = " << i).str();
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
This will store "<tt>i = 10</tt>" (for example) in the string <tt>s</tt>. Note
the need to cast the stream back to <tt>ostringstream&</tt> prior to using
the member <tt>.str()</tt>. This is necessary because the inserter has cast
the <tt>ostringstream</tt> down to a more generic <tt>ostream</tt> during the
insertion process.
</p>
<p>
I believe we can re-specify the rvalue-inserter so that this cast is unnecessary.
Thus our customer now has to only type:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>std::string s = (std::ostringstream() << "i = " << i).str();
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
This is accomplished by having the rvalue stream inserter return an rvalue of
the same type, instead of casting it down to the base class. This is done by
making the stream generic, and constraining it to be an rvalue of a type derived
from <tt>ios_base</tt>.
</p>
<p>
The same argument and solution also applies to the inserter. This code has been
implemented and tested.

<blockquote><pre>(w+xi) + (y+zi) j

<p>
The proper implementation seems straightforward by adding a few
declarations like those below. I have included operator definition for
combining real scalars and complex types, as well, which seems
appropriate, as algebra of complex numbers allows mixing complex and
real numbers with operators. It also allows for constructs such as
<tt>complex<double> i=(0,1), x = 12.34 + 5*i;</tt>
</p>
<p>
Quaternions are often used in areas such as computer graphics, where,
for example, they avoid the problem of Gimbal lock when rotating objects
in 3D space, and can be more efficient than matrix multiplications,
although I am applying them to a different field.

19.5.2.1 [syserr.errcode.overview] and 19.5.2.3 [syserr.errcode.modifiers] say:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>
template <class ErrorCodeEnum>
typename enable_if<is_error_code_enum<ErrorCodeEnum>::value>::type&
operator=(ErrorCodeEnum e);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
They should say:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>
template <class ErrorCodeEnum>
typename enable_if<is_error_code_enum<ErrorCodeEnum>::value, error_code>::type&
operator=(ErrorCodeEnum e);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Or (I prefer this form):
</p>
<blockquote><pre>
template <class ErrorCodeEnum>
typename enable_if<is_error_code_enum<ErrorCodeEnum>::value, error_code&>::type
operator=(ErrorCodeEnum e);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
This is because <tt>enable_if</tt> is declared as (20.6.7 [meta.trans.other]):
</p>
<blockquote><pre>
template <bool B, class T = void> struct enable_if;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
So, the current wording makes <tt>operator=</tt> return
<tt>void&</tt>, which is not good.
</p>
<p>
19.5.2.3 [syserr.errcode.modifiers]/4 says
</p>
<blockquote>
<i>Returns:</i> <tt>*this</tt>.
</blockquote>
<p>
which is correct.
</p>
<p>
Additionally,
</p>
<p>
19.5.3.1 [syserr.errcondition.overview]/1 says:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>
template<typename ErrorConditionEnum>
typename enable_if<is_error_condition_enum<ErrorConditionEnum>, error_code>::type &
operator=( ErrorConditionEnum e );
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Which contains several problems (<tt>typename</tt> versus <tt>class</tt>
inconsistency, lack of <tt>::value</tt>, <tt>error_code</tt> instead of
<tt>error_condition</tt>), while 19.5.3.3 [syserr.errcondition.modifiers] says:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>
template <class ErrorConditionEnum>
typename enable_if<is_error_condition_enum<ErrorConditionEnum>::value>::type&
operator=(ErrorConditionEnum e);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Which returns <tt>void&</tt>. They should both say:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>
template <class ErrorConditionEnum>
typename enable_if<is_error_condition_enum<ErrorConditionEnum>::value, error_condition>::type&
operator=(ErrorConditionEnum e);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>

<p>
Additionally, 19.5.3.3 [syserr.errcondition.modifiers] lacks a

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
Since we have removed the entry in B [implimits] for the
library-specific limit for number of arguments passed to
<tt>function</tt>/<tt>tuple</tt>/etc. I believe we need to update the
spec for <tt>mem_fn</tt> to reflect this.
</p>
<p>
The "<i>Remarks:</i> Implementations may implement <tt>mem_fn</tt> as a set of
overloaded function templates." no longer holds, as we cannot create an
arbitrary number of such overloads. I believe we should strike the
remark and add a second signature:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template<class R, class T, typename ... ArgTypes>
unspecified mem_fn(R (T::*pm)(ArgTypes...));
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
I believe we need two signatures as pointer-to-data-member and
pointer-to-member-function-taking-no-args appear to use subtly different
syntax.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
There exist optimized, vectorized vendor libraries for the creation of
random number generators, such as Intel's MKL [1] and AMD's ACML [2]. In
timing tests we have seen a performance gain of a factor of up to 80
(eighty) compared to a pure C++ implementation (in Boost.Random) when
using these generator to generate a sequence of normally distributed
random numbers. In codes dominated by the generation of random numbers
(we have application codes where random number generation is more than
50% of the CPU time) this factor 80 is very significant.
</p>
<p>
To make use of these vectorized generators, we use a C++ class modeling
the <tt>RandomNumberEngine</tt> concept and forwarding the generation of random
numbers to those optimized generators. For example:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>namespace mkl {
class mt19937 {.... };
}
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
For the generation of random variates we also want to dispatch to
optimized vectorized functions in the MKL or ACML libraries. See this
example:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>mkl::mt19937 eng;
std::normal_distribution<double> dist;
double n = dist(eng);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Since the variate generation is done through the <tt>operator()</tt> of the
distribution there is no customization point to dispatch to Intel's or
AMD's optimized functions to generate normally distributed numbers based
on the <tt>mt19937</tt> generator. Hence, the performance gain of 80 cannot be
achieved.
</p>
<p>
Contrast this with TR1:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>mkl::mt19937 eng;
std::tr1::normal_distribution<double> dist;
std::tr1::variate_generator<mkl::mt19937,std::tr1::normal_distribution<double> > rng(eng,dist);
double n = rng();
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
This - admittedly much uglier from an aestethic point of view - design
allowed optimization by specializing the <tt>variate_generator</tt> template for
<tt>mkl::mt19937</tt>:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>namespace std { namespace tr1 {
template<>
class variate_generator<mkl::mt19937,std::tr1::normal_distribution<double> > { .... };
} }
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
A similar customization point is missing in the C++0x design and
prevents the optimized vectorized version to be used.
</p>
<p>
Suggested resolution:
</p>
<p>
Add a customization point to the distribution concept. Instead of the
<tt>variate_generator</tt> template this can be done through a call to a
free function <tt>generate_variate</tt> found by ADL instead of
<tt>operator()</tt> of the distribution:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>template <RandomNumberDistribution, class RandomNumberEngine>
typename RandomNumberDistribution ::result_type
generate_variate(RandomNumberDistribution const& dist, RandomNumberEngine& eng);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
This function can be overloaded for optimized enginges like
<tt>mkl::mt19937</tt>.

<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
I wasn't sure whether to consider this a library or a language issue,
because the issue is I think it's incorrectly categorized as being part
of the library, so I thought I'd send a message to both of you and let
you sort it out.
</p>
<p>
Most reserved identifiers are treated as unilaterally available to the
implementation, such as to implement language extensions, or provide
macros documenting its functionality. However, the requirements for
reserved identifers are in 17.6.3.3 [reserved.names], which are a
subsection of 17.6.3 [constraints]. 17.6.3.1 [constraints.overview] appears only to apply to "C++ programs
that use the facilities of the C++ standard library", meaning that, in
theory, all implementations are erroneous in having any non-standard
identifiers predefined for programs that do not, at some point, include
a standard library header.
</p>
<p>Furthermore, it's unclear whether the use of certain identifiers is
UB
or results in an ill-formed program. In particular, 17.6.3.3.1
[macro.names] uses a "shall not", where 17.6.3.3.2 [global.names] says
that names are "reserved to the
implementation". 17.6.3.3 [reserved.names] seems only to cover the
instance of a name being described as "reserved", so are
implementations
required to diagnose a program that performs, as an example, "<tt>#undef
get</tt>"?
</p>
<p><i>[
2009 Santa Cruz:
]</i></p>
<blockquote>
Move to NAD. There may in theory be multiple interpretations possible,
but there's no evidence that this causes any genuine problems or
uncertainty about what implementations are allowed to do. We do not
believe this rises to the level of a defect.
