This document contains only evolution issues which have been closed by the Evolution Working Group (EWG) after being found to be acceptable extensions to the standard. That is, issues which have a status of DR, TC1, WP, C++11, or Resolved. See the Evolution Closed Issues List for issues closed as non-defects. See the Evolution Active Issues List for active issues and more information. The introductory material in that document also applies to this document.

40. [tiny] Relax the allocator requirements on vector so that the small object optimization is allowed

Section: 23.3.6 [vector] Status: Resolved Submitter: Nevin Liber Opened: 2012-11-27 Last modified: 2014-10-09

View all issues with Resolved status.

Discussion:

I'd like it to be possible to use the small object optimization (embedding up to a fixed number of objects inside the allocator itself) inside a vector.

Bristol 2013: Designated for LEWG.

Filed as LEWG Bug 38, closing as Resolved on the EWG side.


42. [tiny] basic_string(const charT*, size_type, const Allocator&) requires clause too restrictive

Section: 21.4.2 [string.cons] Status: Resolved Submitter: Nevin Liber Opened: 2012-12-19 Last modified: 2014-10-09

View all issues with Resolved status.

Discussion:

In n3485 21.4.2p6 (basic_string constructors and assignment operators), we have:

  basic_string(const charT* s, size_type n,
  const Allocator& a = Allocator());
  Requires: s shall not be a null pointer and n < npos.
That requires clause is too restrictive; s can be a null pointer when n==0. A (simplified) use case I have seen:
  std::string StringFromVector(std::vector<char> const& vc)
  { return std::string(vc.data(), vc.size()); }
Since a conforming implementation can return a null pointer for vc.data() when vc.size() == 0. I don't see any reason to disallow this construct, especially since it takes a Standards expert to see that this is possibly illegal, but not std::string(vc.data(), vc.data() + vc.size()).

This is likely to go onto the LEWG's plate.

Bristol 2013: Defer to LEWG.

Filed as LEWG Bug 39, closing as Resolved on the EWG side.

Wording available:

  Requires: n < npos and either s shall not be a null pointer or n == 0.

44. [tiny] variadic bind

Section: 20.8.9 [bind] Status: Resolved Submitter: Chris Jefferson Opened: 2013-01-25 Last modified: 2014-10-09

View all issues with Resolved status.

Discussion:

As more variadic functions work their way into my C++ code, I'm getting increasingly annoyed that there isn't a variadic bind. There is a tiny bit of annoyance on exactly what to use. There seems to me to be 2 sensible choices (other people may have others)

  1) _args : Use all otherwise unnamed arguments.
  2) _3onwards : All arguments from the 3rd onwards.
I haven't personally found a need for multiple ranges of variadic arguments, or more complicated chopping (such as getting the last few arguments), and I'd want to hopefully keep this simple if possible!

Bristol 2013: Defer to LEWG.

Filed as LEWG Bug 40, closing as Resolved on the EWG side.

I'd like to have an is_range<T, R = void> type trait, which derives from true_type if and only if T can be used in range-based for, and *__begin is convertible to R (where R == void means don't bother checking this condition).

http://open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2013/n3614.pdf

Bristol 2013: Voutilainen pointed out that there are previous proposals on similar facilities (http://open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2009/n2952.html), and that there's existing practice that is different from this proposal (existing practice returns an int, not a bool). Stroustrup thought that he would need convincing examples about the int, and thought that the facility in general needs better motivation. Voutilainen said that it would be best to create a revisions/synthesis paper that covers the existing practice and the previous proposals and improves the motivational examples.

Author is encouraged to revise.

In Chicago 2013, Voutilainen said he plans to work on this issue and create a follow-up paper for C++17.

Adopted into the working draft in Urbana, as N4259.

View all issues with Resolved status.

Discussion:

In 20.4.1p2, the unspecialized std::tuple_size is undefined. It would be a lot more useful if it were defined as an empty struct; that way, it can be used with enable_if for determining whether or not it is valid to use tuple_size, tuple_element and get on the corresponding data structure.

This should go to LEWG.

119. N4197 Adding u8 character literals, [tiny] Why no u8 character literals?

Section: 2.14.3 [lex.ccon] Status: WP Submitter: Richard Smith Opened: 2014-04-14 Last modified: 2014-11-21

View all issues with WP status.

Discussion:

http://open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2014/n4197.html

The discussion thread started at [c++std-ext-14798].

We have five encoding-prefixes for string-literals (none, L, u8, u, U) but only four for character literals -- the missing one is u8 for character literals.

This matters for implementations where the narrow execution character set is not ASCII. In such a case, u8 character literals would provide an ideal way to write character literals with guaranteed ASCII encoding (the single-code-unit u8 encodings are exactly ASCII), but... we don't provide them. Instead, the best one can do is something like this:

  char x_ascii = { u'x' };
... where we'll get a narrowing error if the codepoint doesn't fit in a 'char'. (Note that this is not quite the same as u8'x', which would give us an error if the codepoint was not representable as a single code unit in UTF-8.)

Is there a good reason for omitting this (useful and natural) functionality?

Discussed in Rapperswil 2014. EWG considers this to be an improvement, and encourages the author to take a proposal with wording to CWG. It's expected that Smith can do so without a separate EWG review.

Voted into the working draft in Urbana, as N4267.

Discussed in Rapperswil 2014.

Straw poll, the full facility (JUST the basic syntactic sugar, no attributes, no aliases, no inline):

SF: 11 F: 5 N: 3 A: 0 SA: 0

The guidance is to provide only the basic syntactic sugar, no attributes, no aliases. Initial wording is necessary before this can proceed to Core. It is expected that EWG will review a revised paper before CWG will review the wording.

Adopted into the working draft in Urbana, as N4266.

Discussion:

13 extern "C" for Parameters of Function Templates -> request Core to close as NAD, Daveed says aliases with linkage are the solution. 1463 will be opened as an EWG issue to solve this.

92 Should exception-specifications be part of the type system? -> Instruct Core to close 92 as NAD. Maurer points out that he's going to be dealing with the area with TM. The rationale for closing is that EWG doesn't agree that being able to overload on noexcept is worth the trouble, nor does EWG think being able to have pointers-to-functions being different parameter types if they have different noexcept-specifications.

230 Calls to pure virtual functions -> Instruct Core to close 230 as NAD. Pure virtual functions can be called by non-virtual calls only, and it is by design that virtual calls should never resolve to the definition of a pure virtual function. The behaviour is undefined because implementations aren't required to prevent ending up in the pure virtual function definition. That is also by design.

623 Use of pointers to deallocated storage -> Instruct Core to close 623 as WP. The behavior is implementation-defined rather than undefined in the current working draft, and thus the requirements are no longer draconian. 312, which was resolved as DRWP points to 623, so also close 623 as DRWP.

755 Generalized lambda-captures -> Instruct Core to close 755 as WP. Generalized lambda-captures are in C++14.

947 Deducing type template arguments from default function arguments -> Open an EWG issue, 97, for 947, immediately close as NAD, explaining that the group doesn't think it's generally implementable. Leave the door open (but not the issue :)) for a restricted implementation.

1461 Narrowing conversions to bit-fields -> Instruct Core to close 1461 as NAD. It would break existing code and EWG doesn't consider the breakage to be worth it. Vandevoorde pointed out valid existing code that initializes bitfields (even with one bit) with -1.

1474 User-defined literals and <inttypes.h> format macros -> Instruct Core to close 1474 as NAD. The fix would be to remove UDLs.

1519 Conflicting default and variadic constructors -> Open an EWG issue for 1519, 107. Mark as NAD, there is a work-around and Concepts Lite will make the work-around much easier.
