This bug appears to have stalled. What should my expectations be regarding getting an equivalent of (at least single-dimensional) GSL span<T> (formerly array_view<T>; conceptually Rust's slice) into MFBT? > On 30/09/2015 22:00, Botond Ballo wrote: >> The document is a work in progress, still incomplete in many places. >> The initial authors are Bjarne Stroustrup and Herb Sutter, two members >> of the C++ Standards Committee, and they welcome contributions via >> GitHub to help complete and improve it. In their keynotes, a template called array_buffer was mentioned. What happened to it? array_buffer<T> was supposed to be array_view<T> (since renamed to span<T>) plus an additional size_t communicating current position in the buffer. Surprisingly, Core Guidelines has an example of reading up to n items into span but the example doesn't show how the function would signal how many bytes between 0 and n it actually read, so the Guidelines themselves don't seem to give a proper answer to signaling how many items of a span a function read or wrote. -- Henri Sivonen hsivo...@hsivonen.fi https://hsivonen.fi/ _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
