I have the following template definition
template<class T> inline T& at(std::vector< T>& v, int pos)
{
#ifdef _MSC_VER
return v.at(pos);
#endif
return v[pos];
}
and is instantiated as below
at(hasMUCVector ,mucTag)=true;
where the type information is:
std::vector<boo l> hasMUCVector;
int mucTag;
However I am unable to compile the code (g++ v 3.3.1 under Cygwin) and
it reports the following error.
error: could not convert `std::vector<bo ol,
_Alloc>::operat or[](unsigned int) [with _Alloc =
std::allocator< bool>](pos)'
to `bool&'
Any ideas what the problem might be? As an aside if I change the
template definition to
template<class T> inline std::vector<T>: :reference at(std::vector< T>& v,
int pos)
{
#ifdef _MSC_VER
return v.at(pos);
#endif
return v[pos];
}
the compiler generates a warning about something being deprecated but
does not flag an error.
Thanks,
Ravi. 3 1962

vector <bool> is a peculiar type of vector, can be specialized in order
to be able to use a bit for each element. Thus his reference type can
not be a bool reference.

Make 'pos' a 'std::size_t'.
{ #ifdef _MSC_VER return v.at(pos); #endif return v[pos]; }
What is the purpose of this function? Its effect is to give
checked indexing, with possible exception, when compiled with MSVC,
but not with other compilers. Is that the indended effect?
and is instantiated as below
at(hasMUCVector ,mucTag)=true;

std::vector<boo l> hasMUCVector;
This is a bit problematic. std::vector<boo l> is a specialization
that's meant to minimize storage by using one bit per bool. Obviously
you cannot treat one single bit as a 'bool', in general, and so a
'bool&' cannot serves as std::vector<boo l>::reference (see §23.2.5).
In short, your 'at' function cannot return a 'T&' if you intend to
use it for vector<bool>.
Instead you can let it return a std::vector<T>: :reference.

Julian explained the problem. A work-around, if you're not too concerned
about the memory-efficiency of containers of bool, might be to use deque
instead of vector in your template.

Hi guys,
i give up finding a solution by reading or by trial & error. Hope, YOU
can help me! (Sorry for my rather long posting.)
Stroustrup says, that templates could be declared with
- type parameter, e.g. template<class T>
- parameters with *simple* types like int, e.g. template<int size>
- template parameter, e.g. template< template<class> class A >
the latter beeing a type specifier, not an instance of A.

Hi everyone. A very simple question. I would like to know what is
better in terms of performance. I want to use a simple function to
obtain the minimum of two values. One way could be using a macro:
#define min(a,b) ((a<b)?a:b)
I thought that another way could be to use a template function:
template <class T>
T min<T a, T b>

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
