I'm looking into a solution of building containers which track stored size of their elements in addition to basic functions.
So far I didn't saw a solution which doesn't create a huge amount of boilerplate code of each invalidating member of container. This also assumes that stored elements cannot change size after being stored.
Unless standard containers have some feature that allows to inject such behaviour. The following example should be working one, albeit abridged for brevity. The declarations used are:
typedef uint8_t Byte;
typedef Byte PacketId;
template <class T>
struct CollectionTraits {
typedef T collection_type;
typedef typename collection_type::value_type value_type;
typedef typename collection_type::size_type size_type;
typedef typename collection_type::iterator iterator;
typedef typename collection_type::reference reference;
typedef typename collection_type::const_iterator const_iterator;
const_iterator begin() const { return _collection.begin(); }
const_iterator end() const { return _collection.end(); }
iterator begin() { return _collection.begin(); }
iterator end() { return _collection.end(); }
size_type size() const { return _collection.size(); }
protected:
T _collection;
};
struct Packet : CollectionTraits<std::vector<Byte>>
{
PacketId id;
};
The container itself:
struct PacketList : CollectionTraits<std::deque<Packet>>
{
public:
typedef Packet::size_type data_size;
void clear() { _collection.clear(); _total_size = 0; }
data_size total_size() const { return _total_size; }
void push_back(const Packet& v) {
_collection.push_back(v);
_add(v);
}
void push_back(const Packet&& v) {
_collection.push_back(std::move(v));
_add(v);
}
void push_front(const Packet& v) {
_collection.push_front(v);
_add(v);
}
void push_front(const Packet&& v) {
_collection.push_front(std::move(v));
_add(v);
}
void pop_back() {
_remove(_collection.back());
_collection.pop_back();
}
void erase(const_iterator first, const_iterator last) {
for(auto it = first; it != last; ++it) _remove(*it);
_collection.erase(first, last);
}
PacketList() : _total_size(0) {}
PacketList(const PacketList& other) : _total_size(other._total_size) {}
private:
void _add(const Packet& v) { _total_size += v.size(); }
void _remove(const Packet& v) { _total_size -= v.size(); }
data_size _total_size;
};
The interface in result should similar to a standard container. Is there a way to avoid this amount of repeated code? Is there some standard solution for this problem?

I want to have a template function which accepts unary member-function pointers of an instance of some generic type.
My problem is that I must support both void(T val) and void(const T& val) member functions.
I have written one template function for each case and it works fine, but this leads to code duplication since the function logic is completely the same. (I found something completely similar here: Function taking both pointer to member-function and pointer to const member-function but I fail to see a definitive solution).
An example of the generic type mentioned above:
using UserAddress = std::string;
class User
{
private:
int mHeight;
UserAddress mAddress;
public:
void SetHeight(int height){mHeight = height;}
void SetAddress(const UserAddress& address){mAddress = address;}
};
Where UserAddress is some heavy type I want to pass by reference.
My templated function:
template <typename TPersistentObject>
class Persistence
{
private:
std::map<std::string, std::function<void(User*)>> mSetterOfProperty;
template <typename TPersistentObject, typename TPropertyValue>
void DefinePropertySettingMethod(const std::string& propertyName,
void (TPersistentObject::*propertySetter)(TPropertyValue), std::function<TPropertyValue(void)> dataReader)
{
mSetterOfProperty[propertyName] =
[propertySetter, columnDataReader](TPersistentObject* persistentObject)
{
(persistentObject->*propertySetter)(dataReader());
};
}
};
/// Const& implementation leading to code duplication
template <typename TPersistentObject, typename TPropertyValue>
void DefinePropertySettingMethod(const std::string& propertyName,
void (TPersistentObject::*propertySetter)(const TPropertyValue&), std::function<TPropertyValue(void)> dataReader)
{
...
}
};
Is there some way to define this function to support the following:
int main()
{
auto intDataReader = []() {
return 1;
};
auto stringDataReader = []() {
return UserAddress("Next Door");
};
Persistence p;
p.DefinePropertySettingMethod<User,int>("Height", &User::SetHeight, intDataReader);
p.DefinePropertySettingMethod<User,UserAddress>("Address", &User::SetAddress, stringDataReader);
}
Thanks to Igor Tandetnik 's tip I managed to compile a solution. std::enable_if is not what I needed though since I did not need to deactivate an overload (or at least I couldn't come to a solution using it).
std::conditional did the trick.
Here is the code:
#include <string>
#include <functional>
#include <map>
#include <string>
#include <type_traits>
using UserAddress = std::string;
class User
{
private:
int mHeight;
UserAddress mAddress;
public:
void SetHeight(int height){mHeight = height;}
void SetAddress(const UserAddress& address){mAddress = address;}
};
template <typename TPersistentObject>
class Persistence
{
public:
std::map<std::string, std::function<void(TPersistentObject*)>> mSetterOfProperty;
template <typename TPropertyValue>
void DefinePropertySettingMethod(const std::string& propertyName,
void (TPersistentObject::*propertySetter)(TPropertyValue),
std::function<
typename std::conditional<!std::is_same<TPropertyValue, typename std::decay<TPropertyValue>::type>::value,
typename std::decay<TPropertyValue>::type, TPropertyValue>::type
(void)> dataReader)
{
mSetterOfProperty[propertyName] =
[propertySetter, dataReader](TPersistentObject* persistentObject)
{
(persistentObject->*propertySetter)(dataReader());
};
}
};
int main()
{
std::function<int()> intDataReader = []() {
return 1;
};
std::function<std::string()> stringDataReader = []() {
return UserAddress("Next Door");
};
Persistence<User> p;
p.DefinePropertySettingMethod("Height", &User::SetHeight, intDataReader);
p.DefinePropertySettingMethod("Address", &User::SetAddress, stringDataReader);
}
So I was Playing around with c++11 Varidiacs, and I wanted to create a thing called CallClass, basically a class that warps a function, for later call,when all variables are set(truly I have No Idea If It can Be Useful):
#include <tuple>
template <typename OBJ,typename F,typename... VARGS>
class CallClass
{
public:
CallClass(OBJ& object,F callFunction)
:_object(&object),_func(callFunction)
{ }
CallClass(const CallClass& other)
:_func_args(other._func_args)
,_object(other._object)
,_func(other._func)
{ }
template <size_t INDEX>
auto get(){ return std::get<INDEX>(_func_args); }
template <size_t INDEX,typename T>
void set(const T& val){ std::get<INDEX>(_func_args) = val; }
template <size_t INDEX,typename T>
void set(T&& val){ std::get<INDEX>(_func_args) = val; }
auto Call()
{
//throws segmentation Fault Here
return InnerCall<0>(_func_args);
}
virtual ~CallClass() {}
protected:
private:
std::tuple<VARGS...> _func_args;
OBJ* _object;
F _func;
template <size_t INDEX,typename... ARGS>
auto InnerCall(std::tuple<VARGS...>& tup,ARGS... args)
{
auto arg = std::get<INDEX>(tup);
return InnerCall<INDEX + 1>(tup,args...,arg);
}
template <size_t INDEX,VARGS...>
auto InnerCall(std::tuple<VARGS...>& tup,VARGS... args)
{
return (_object->*_func)(args...);
}
};
Now when I try to compile(compiling using IDE:code::blocks, configured to use MINGW On windows ), it prints Compiler:Segmentation Fault, anybody any Ideas?
Usage:
class obj{
public:
obj(int a)
:_a(a)
{ }
virtual ~obj() {}
int add(int b,int c){
return _a + b + c;
}
private:
int _a;
};
int main(){
obj ob(6);
CallClass<obj,decltype(obj::add),int,int> callAdd(ob,obj::add);
callAdd.set<0,int>(5);
callAdd.set<1,int>(7);
cout << "result is " << callAdd.Call() << endl;
return 0;
}
After a Bit of a search i stumbled upon a similar issue, in a way.
apparently the way I'm unpacking the tuple is an issue, so i decided to use a different approach as shown in: enter link description here
had to add a few changes to suit my needs:
changes:
namespace detail
{
template <typename OBJ,typename F, typename Tuple, bool Done, int Total, int... N>
struct call_impl
{
static auto call(OBJ& obj,F f, Tuple && t)
{
return call_impl<OBJ,F, Tuple, Total == 1 + sizeof...(N), Total, N..., sizeof...(N)>::call(obj,f, std::forward<Tuple>(t));
}
};
template <typename OBJ,typename F, typename Tuple, int Total, int... N>
struct call_impl<OBJ,F, Tuple, true, Total, N...>
{
static auto call(OBJ& obj,F f, Tuple && t)
{
return (obj.*f)(std::get<N>(std::forward<Tuple>(t))...);
}
};
}
// user invokes this
template <typename OBJ,typename F, typename Tuple>
auto call(OBJ& obj,F f, Tuple && t)
{
typedef typename std::decay<Tuple>::type ttype;
return detail::call_impl<OBJ,F, Tuple, 0 == std::tuple_size<ttype>::value, std::tuple_size<ttype>::value>::call(obj,f, std::forward<Tuple>(t));
}
and changed Call():
auto Call()
{
std::tuple<VARGS...> func_args = _func_args;
return call(*_object,_func, std::move(func_args));
}
I will probably make a few more changes, like passing the tuple as a reference, and making the structs a part of my class.
i'm new to lambda functions in c++ and am trying to make a simple one but have some problems. i've tried to make a heterogeneous container which include stacks, queues, and lists and one of the exercise is to make a lambda function which check if an element answers a specific condition defined as:
using Condition = bool (*)(T const&);
so here is a piece of my heterogeneous container:
For example for stacks:
template <typename T>
using Condition1 = bool (*)(T const&);
template <typename T>
class LinkedStack {
private:
StackElement<T>* top;
public:
LinkedStack();
LinkedStack(LinkedStack const&);
LinkedStack& operator=(LinkedStack const&);
bool empty() const;
bool member(T const& x);
T peek() const;
void push(T const&);
T pop();
~LinkedStack();
};
template<typename T,typename Condition1>
bool q_filter(Condition1 func,LinkedStack<T>& s){
LinkedStack<T> tmp;
tmp = s;
if((tmp).empty())
return false;
while(!tmp.empty()){
if (func(tmp.peek()))
return true;
else
tmp.pop();
}
return false;
}
the stack-object(which is need to perform object in h-container):
template <typename T>
class Object {
public:
using Condition = bool (*)(T const&);
virtual bool insert(T const&) = 0;
virtual bool remove(T&) = 0;
virtual bool member(T const&) = 0;
virtual int l_size() = 0;
virtual void sort() = 0;
virtual bool special_condition(Condition);
virtual void print(ostream& os) const = 0;
virtual ~Object() {}
};
template <typename T>
class StackObject : public Object<T>, private LinkedStack<T> {
public:
using Condition = bool (*)(T const&);
// включване
bool insert(T const& x) {
LinkedStack<T>::push(x);
return true;
}
// изключване
bool remove(T& x) {
if (LinkedStack<T>::empty())
return false;
x = LinkedStack<T>::pop();
return true;
}
// проверка
bool member(T const& x){
return LinkedStack<T>::member(x);
}
int l_size() {
return my_size(*this);
}
// извеждане
void print(ostream& os) const {
os << *this;
}
void sort(){
s_sort(*this);
}
bool special_condition(Condition c){
return q_filter(c,*this);
}
};
and main-function:
int main(){
QueueStackList qsl;
qsl.read_from_file();
(*(qsl.begin()))->special_condition([](int x) -> bool { return x%2 != 0; });
return 0;
}
QueueStackList is implemented like a linked-list and qsl.begin() returns
an iterator for the first element in the heterogeneous list;
when i compile it returns this kind of errors:
invalid user-defined conversion from 'main()::<lambda(int)>' to 'Object<int>::Condition {aka bool (*)(const int&)}' [-fpermissive]|
candidate is: main()::<lambda(int)>::operator bool (*)(int)() const <near match>|
no known conversion for implicit 'this' parameter from 'bool (*)(int)' to 'Object<int>::Condition {aka bool (*)(const int&)}'|
which i really don't know what mean ?
In std::map, this ends up causing an error when the first object is constructed. I've checked the debugger, and I see that free_list::init() creates the consecutive memory addresses correctly. I'm aware this allocator cannot be used in vector or other related containers, but it's only meant to work with the nodular containers.
I get a run-time error from this in xutility (in VC12), at line 158:
_Container_proxy *_Parent_proxy = _Parent->_Myproxy;
Checking the debugger, it appears that _Parent was never initialized, bringing about the 0xC0000005 run-time error. Why or how it didn't get initialized and why this occurred when the first object was being constructed (after std::map did 3 separate allocations), I do not know.
I would like to have this work with std::map and std::list and the other nodular containers and am not worried about whether it can perform in std::vector, etc.

The problem comes when std::pair is being constructed (in MSVC12 utility at line 214):
template<class _Other1,
class _Other2,
class = typename enable_if<is_convertible<_Other1, _Ty1>::value
&& is_convertible<_Other2, _Ty2>::value,
void>::type>
pair(_Other1&& _Val1, _Other2&& _Val2)
_NOEXCEPT_OP((is_nothrow_constructible<_Ty1, _Other1&&>::value
&& is_nothrow_constructible<_Ty2, _Other2&&>::value))
: first(_STD forward<_Other1>(_Val1)),
second(_STD forward<_Other2>(_Val2))
{ // construct from moved values
}
Even after stepping in, the run-time error occurs, the same as described above with _Parent not being initialized.
I was able to answer my own question through extensive debugging. Apparently, VC12's std::map implementation at least at times will cast an _Alnod (permanent allocator that stays in scope for the life of the map, which is used to allocate and deallocate the nodes in the map, what I'd expect to be what actually calls allocate() and deallocate()) as an _Alproxy, a temporary allocator which creates some sort of object called _Mproxy (or something like that) using allocate(). The problem, though, is that VC12's implementation then lets _Alproxy go out of scope while still expecting the pointer to the allocated object to remain valid, so it is clear then that I would have to use ::operator new and ::operator delete on an object like _Mproxy: using a memory pool that then goes out of scope while a pointer to a location in it remains is what causes the crash.
I came up with what I suppose could be called a dirty trick, a test that is performed when copy-constructing or copy-assigning an allocator to another allocator type:
template<class U>
pool_alloc(const pool_alloc<U>& other)
: data(nullptr), fl(), capacity(other.max_size()), use_data(true) {
if (sizeof(T) < sizeof(U)) use_data = false;
}
I added the bool member use_data to the allocator class, which if true means to use the memory pool and which if false means to use ::operator new and ::operator delete. By default, it is true. The question of its value arises when the allocator gets cast as another allocator type whose template parameter's size is smaller than that of the source allocator; in that case, use_data is set to false. Because this _Mproxy object or whatever it's called is rather small, this fix seems to work, even when using std::set with char as the element type.
I've tested this using std::set with type char in both VC12 and GCC 4.8.1 in 32-bit and have found that in both cases it works. When allocating and deallocating the nodes in both cases, the memory pool is used.
Here is the full source code:

aligned_delete<A> is a function, not a type.
Make a type with an overloaded function call operator:
template<typename T>
struct aligned_delete {
void operator()(T* ptr) const {
_mm_free(ptr);
}
};
Your exception handling is a bit off, you will leak the allocated memory if construction fails. It also has undefined behavior if _mm_malloc returns nullptr. Try:
template<typename T, std::size_t alignment>
inline T* aligned_new(){
void* ptr = _mm_malloc(sizeof(T), alignment);
if (ptr) {
try {
return new (ptr) T;
} catch(...) {
_mm_free(ptr);
throw;
}
}
// throw std::bad_alloc();
return nullptr;
}
(Yes, this is not an answer - it's an overlong comment.)
