mclow.lists marked 5 inline comments as done. mclow.lists added a comment. I think I've answered all of Louis' questions that don't require code changes. New patch will be coming soon.
================ Comment at: include/span:217 + using pointer = _Tp *; + using const_pointer = const _Tp *; // not in standard + using reference = _Tp &; ---------------- ldionne wrote: > Why are we providing them if they are not in the standard? Because (a) they're useful (see the definition of `const_iterator` below, and (b) I (and STL, who wrote the final version of the `span` paper, believe that not having them was just an oversight. ================ Comment at: include/span:235 + + _LIBCPP_INLINE_VISIBILITY constexpr span(pointer __ptr, index_type __count) : __data{__ptr} + { (void)__count; _LIBCPP_ASSERT(_Extent == __count, "size mismatch in span's constructor (ptr, len)"); } ---------------- ldionne wrote: > Those functions are specified to throw nothing in the standard. Do we want to > add `noexcept` as a QOI thing? What's our usual stance on this? Yes. The standard follows the "Lakos rule", which says that narrow contract functions should not be marked `noexcept`, because goodness knows what might happen if you fail to fulfill the preconditions. Library implementors have the freedom to mark things as `noexcept` (and libc++ does - see `vector::operator[]` for example). ================ Comment at: include/span:254 + constexpr span(const _Container& __c, + const enable_if_t<__is_span_compatible_container<const _Container, _Tp>::value, nullptr_t> = nullptr) + : __data{_VSTD::data(__c)} ---------------- ldionne wrote: > For both of these `Container` constructors, the paper expresses the SFINAE > conditions based on `Container`, not on `Container` in one case and > `Container const` in the other, which is what you're doing. > > This is actually a bug in the paper, because this will make code like this > compile: > > ``` > std::vector<int> const v; > std::span<int, 10> s(v); > ``` > > Instead, this should be a compiler error because we're clearly not > const-correct here, initializing a `span`-over-non-const from a const > `vector`. Example: https://wandbox.org/permlink/kYCui3o0LEGRQ67x > > This happens because we're discarding the constness of the `_Container` > template parameter if we stick 100% to the wording of the paper. Should this > be a DR? Yes, this should be an LWG issue. ================ Comment at: include/span:275 + +// ~span() noexcept = default; + ---------------- ldionne wrote: > Why is this commented out? This is commented out because of a clang bug https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38143, where copy constructor will become non-constexpr. Once this fixed, we can un-comment this line (though it should make no difference if it is present or not). ================ Comment at: include/span:351 + { + pointer __p = __data; + __data = __other.__data; ---------------- ldionne wrote: > Just curious -- why not use `_VSTD::swap(__data, __other.__data)`? This would > avoid any potential for a stupid logic error to sneak up. Not to have to include `<utility>`? (It may get included anyway) ================ Comment at: include/span:356-359 + _LIBCPP_INLINE_VISIBILITY span<const byte, _Extent * sizeof(element_type)> __as_bytes() const noexcept + { return {reinterpret_cast<const byte *>(data()), size_bytes()}; } + + _LIBCPP_INLINE_VISIBILITY span<byte, _Extent * sizeof(element_type)> __as_writeable_bytes() const noexcept ---------------- ldionne wrote: > It looks like neither `as_bytes` nor `as_writeable_bytes` is marked `const` > in the paper. Why are we deviating? In N4762, they're marked as non-member functions that take `span<whatever>` by value. This implementation just turns around and calls a member function (with an unpronounceable name) to do the work. The standard never mentions `__as_bytes` or `__as_writeable_bytes`. ================ Comment at: include/span:531 + operator==(const span<_Tp1, _Extent1>& __lhs, const span<_Tp2, _Extent2>& __rhs) + { return equal(__lhs.begin(), __lhs.end(), __rhs.begin(), __rhs.end()); } + ---------------- ldionne wrote: > It's kind of crazy those are not constrained in any way, but that's what the > paper says. I would expect some constraint based on whether we can compare > `_Tp1` and _Tp2`. In my prototype implementation, they were constrained. But LEWG decided not to go there (which is the same approach taken in https://wg21.link/P0805 ). There needs to be another paper written about constraining container comparisons. It also applies to homogenous comparisons. Consider `vector<complex<double>>` Two of them can't be compared (less than, etc), because `complex<double>` doesn't have a `operator<` https://reviews.llvm.org/D49338 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
