Working Draft, C++ Extensions for Library Fundamentals, Version 3

Note: this is an early draft. It’s known to be incomplet and incorrekt, and it has lots of bad formatting.

1

General

[general]
1.1

Scope

[general.scope]

This technical specification describes extensions to the C++ Standard Library (1.2). These extensions are classes and functions that are likely to be used widely within a program and/or on the interface boundaries between libraries written by different organizations.

This technical specification is non-normative. Some of the library components in this technical specification may be considered for standardization in a future version of C++, but they are not currently part of any C++ standard. Some of the components in this technical specification may never be standardized, and others may be standardized in a substantially changed form.

The goal of this technical specification is to build more widespread existing practice for an expanded C++ standard library. It gives advice on extensions to those vendors who wish to provide them.

1.2

Normative references

[general.references]

The following referenced document is indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

  • ISO/IEC 14882:2017, Programming Languages — C++

ISO/IEC 14882:2017 is herein called the C++ Standard. References to clauses within the C++ Standard are written as "C++17 §3.2". The library described in ISO/IEC 14882:2017 clauses 20–33 is herein called the C++ Standard Library.

Unless otherwise specified, the whole of the C++ Standard's Library introduction (C++17 §20) is included into this Technical Specification by reference.

1.3

Namespaces, headers, and modifications to standard classes

[general.namespaces]

Since the extensions described in this technical specification are experimental and not part of the C++ standard library, they should not be declared directly within namespace std. Unless otherwise specified, all components described in this technical specification either:

  • modify an existing interface in the C++ Standard Library in-place,
  • are declared in a namespace whose name appends ::experimental::fundamentals_v3 to a namespace defined in the C++ Standard Library, such as std or std::chrono, or
  • are declared in a subnamespace of a namespace described in the previous bullet, whose name is not the same as an existing subnamespace of namespace std.
[ Example: This TS does not define std::experimental::fundamentals_v3::pmr because the C++ Standard Library defines std::pmr. end example ]

Each header described in this technical specification shall import the contents of std::experimental::fundamentals_v3 into std::experimental as if by

namespace std::experimental {
  inline namespace fundamentals_v3 {}
}

This technical specification also describes some experimental modifications to existing interfaces in the C++ Standard Library. These modifications are described by quoting the affected parts of the standard and using underlining to represent added text and strike-through to represent deleted text.

Unless otherwise specified, references to other entities described in this technical specification are assumed to be qualified with std::experimental::fundamentals_v3::, and references to entities described in the standard are assumed to be qualified with std::.

Extensions that are expected to eventually be added to an existing header <meow> are provided inside the <experimental/meow> header, which shall include the standard contents of <meow> as if by

#include <meow>

New headers are also provided in the <experimental/> directory, but without such an #include.

1.4

Future plans (Informative)

[general.plans]

This section describes tentative plans for future versions of this technical specification and plans for moving content into future versions of the C++ Standard.

The C++ committee intends to release a new version of this technical specification approximately every year, containing the library extensions we hope to add to a near-future version of the C++ Standard. Future versions will define their contents in std::experimental::fundamentals_v4, std::experimental::fundamentals_v5, etc., with the most recent implemented version inlined into std::experimental.

When an extension defined in this or a future version of this technical specification represents enough existing practice, it will be moved into the next version of the C++ Standard by removing the experimental::fundamentals_vN segment of its namespace and by removing the experimental/ prefix from its header's path.

1.5

Feature-testing recommendations (Informative)

[general.feature.test]

For the sake of improved portability between partial implementations of various C++ standards, WG21 (the ISO technical committee for the C++ programming language) recommends that implementers and programmers follow the guidelines in this section concerning feature-test macros. [ Note: WG21's SD-6 makes similar recommendations for the C++ Standard itself. end note ]

Implementers who provide a new standard feature should define a macro with the recommended name, in the same circumstances under which the feature is available (for example, taking into account relevant command-line options), to indicate the presence of support for that feature. Implementers should define that macro with the value specified in the most recent version of this technical specification that they have implemented. The recommended macro name is "__cpp_lib_experimental_" followed by the string in the "Macro Name Suffix" column.

Programmers who wish to determine whether a feature is available in an implementation should base that determination on the presence of the header (determined with __has_include(<header/name>)) and the state of the macro with the recommended name. (The absence of a tested feature may result in a program with decreased functionality, or the relevant functionality may be provided in a different way. A program that strictly depends on support for a feature can just try to use the feature unconditionally; presumably, on an implementation lacking necessary support, translation will fail.)

Modifications to the C++ Standard Library

[mods]

Implementations that conform to this technical specification shall behave as if the modifications contained in this section are made to the C++ Standard.

2.1

Exception Requirements

[mods.exception.requirements]

The following changes to the library introduction allow the destructor of scope_success to throw exceptions.

20.5.4.8 Other functions [res.on.functions]

In certain cases […]

In particular, the effects are undefined in the following cases:

  • […]
  • if any replacement function or handler function or destructor operation exits via an exception, unless specifically allowed in the applicable Required behavior: or Throws: paragraph.
  • if an incomplete type (6.9) is used as a template argument when instantiating a template component, unless specifically allowed for that component.

20.5.5.12 Restrictions on exception handling [res.on.exception.handling]

[…]

Functions from the C standard library shall not throw exceptions183 except when such a function calls a program-supplied function that throws an exception.184

Unless otherwise specified, destructorDestructor operations defined in the C++ standard library shall not throw exceptions. Every destructor without an exception specification in the C++ standard library shall behave as if it had a non-throwing exception specification.

Functions defined in the C++ standard library [&hellip]

2.2

Uses-allocator construction

[mods.allocator.uses]

The following changes to the uses_allocator trait and to the description of uses-allocator construction allow a memory_resource pointer act as an allocator in many circumstances. [ Note: Existing programs that use standard allocators would be unaffected by this change. end note ]

20.7.7 uses_allocator [allocator.uses]

20.7.7.1 uses_allocator trait [allocator.uses.trait]

template <class T, class Alloc> struct uses_allocator;
Remarks:
Automatically detects whether T has a nested allocator_type that is convertible from Alloc. Meets the BinaryTypeTrait requirements (C++17 §23.15.1). The implementation shall provide a definition that is derived from true_type if a type T::allocator_type exists and either is_convertible_v<Alloc, T::allocator_type> != false or T::allocator_type is an alias for std::experimental::erased_type (3.1.2), otherwise it shall be derived from false_type. A program may specialize this template to derive from true_type for a user-defined type T that does not have a nested allocator_type but nonetheless can be constructed with an allocator where either:
  • the first argument of a constructor has type allocator_arg_t and the second argument has type Alloc or
  • the last argument of a constructor has type Alloc.

20.7.7.2 uses-allocator construction [allocator.uses.construction]

Uses-allocator construction with allocator Alloc refers to the construction of an object obj of type T, using constructor arguments v1, v2, ..., vN of types V1, V2, ..., VN, respectively, and an allocator alloc of type Alloc, where Alloc either (1) meets the requirements of an allocator (C++17 §20.5.3.5), or (2) is a pointer type convertible to std::experimental::pmr::memory_resource* (), according to the following rules:

General utilities library

[utilities]
3.1

Utility components

[utility]
3.1.1

Header <experimental/utility> synopsis

[utility.syn]
#include <utility>

namespace std::experimental {
inline namespace fundamentals_v3 {

  // 3.1.2, Class erased_type
  struct erased_type { };

} // namespace fundamentals_v3
} // namespace std::experimental
3.1.2

Class erased_type

[utility.erased.type]
struct erased_type { };

The erased_type struct is an empty struct that serves as a placeholder for a type T in situations where the actual type T is determined at runtime. For example, the nested type, allocator_type, is an alias for erased_type in classes that use type-erased allocators (see 5.3).

propagate_const is a wrapper around a pointer-like object type T which treats the wrapped pointer as a pointer to const when the wrapper is accessed through a const access path.

3.2.2.2

propagate_const requirements on T

[propagate_const.requirements]

T shall be an object pointer type or a class type for which decltype(*declval<T&>()) is an lvalue reference; otherwise the program is ill-formed.

If T is an array type, reference type, pointer to function type or pointer to (possibly cv-qualified) void, then the program is ill-formed.

[ Note: propagate_const<const int*> is well-formed end note ]

3.2.2.2.1

propagate_const requirements on class type T

[propagate_const.class_type_requirements]

If T is class type then it shall satisfy the following requirements. In this sub-clause t denotes a non-const lvalue of type T, ct is a const T& bound to t, element_type denotes an object type.

T and const T shall be contextually convertible to bool.

If T is implicitly convertible to element_type*, (element_type*)t == t.get() shall be true.

If const T is implicitly convertible to const element_type*, (const element_type*)ct == ct.get() shall be true.

Table 3 — Requirements on class types T
Expression Return type Pre-conditions Operational semantics
t.get() element_type*
ct.get() const element_type* or element_type* t.get() == ct.get().
*t element_type& t.get() != nullptr *t refers to the same object as *(t.get())
*ct const element_type& or element_type& ct.get() != nullptr *ct refers to the same object as *(ct.get())
t.operator->() element_type* t.get() != nullptr t.operator->() == t.get()
ct.operator->() const element_type* or element_type* ct.get() != nullptr ct.operator->() == ct.get()
(bool)t bool (bool)t is equivalent to t.get() != nullptr
(bool)ct bool (bool)ct is equivalent to ct.get() != nullptr
3.2.2.3

propagate_const constructors

[propagate_const.ctor]

[ Note: The following constructors are conditionally specified as explicit. This is typically implemented by declaring two such constructors, of which at most one participates in overload resolution. end note ]

template <class U>
see below constexpr propagate_const(propagate_const<U>&& pu);
Remarks:
This constructor shall not participate in overload resolution unless is_constructible_v<T, U&&>. The constructor is specified as explicit if and only if !is_convertible_v<U&&, T>.

template <class U>
see below constexpr propagate_const(U&& u);

Effects:

3.2.2.10

propagate_const underlying pointer access

[propagate_const.underlying]

Access to the underlying object pointer type is through free functions rather than member functions. These functions are intended to resemble cast operations to encourage caution when using them.

template <class T>

Returns:
a reference to the underlying object pointer type.
template <class T>
constexpr T& get_underlying(propagate_const<T>& pt) noexcept;

Class templates scope_exit, scope_fail, and scope_success

[scopeguard.exit]

The class templates scope_exit, scope_fail, and scope_success define scope guards that wrap a function object to be called on their destruction.

In this subclause, the placeholder scope-guard denotes each of these class templates. In descriptions of the class members, scope-guard refers to the enclosing class.

namespace std::experimental {
inline namespace fundamentals_v3 {

  template <class EF> class scope-guard {
  public:
    template <class EFP>
      explicit scope-guard(EFP&& f) noexcept(see below);
    scope-guard(scope-guard&& rhs) noexcept(see below);

    scope-guard(const scope-guard&) = delete;
    scope-guard& operator=(const scope-guard&) = delete;
    scope-guard& operator=(scope-guard&&) = delete;

    ~scope-guard () noexcept(see below);

    void release() noexcept;

  private:
    EF exit_function;                                 // exposition only
    bool execute_on_destruction{true};                // exposition only
    int uncaught_on_creation{uncaught_exceptions()};  // exposition only
  };

  template <class EF>
    scope-guard(EF) -> scope-guard<EF>;

}  // inline namespace fundamentals_v3
}  // namespace std::experimental

The class template scope_exit is a general-purpose scope guard that calls its exit function when a scope is exited. The class templates scope_fail and scope_success share the scope_exit interface, only the situation when the exit function is called differs.

[ Example:
void grow(vector<int>& v) {
  scope_success guard([]{ cout << "Good!" << endl; });
  v.resize(1024);
}
end example ]

[ Note: If the exit function object of a scope_success or scope_exit object refers to a local variable of the function where it is defined, e.g., as a lambda capturing the variable by reference, and that variable is used as a return operand in that function, that variable might have already been returned when the scope-guard’s destructor executes, calling the exit function. This can lead to surprising behavior. end note ]

Template argument EF shall be a function object type (C++17 §23.14), lvalue reference to function, or lvalue reference to function object type. If EF is an object type, it shall satisfy the requirements of Destructible (C++17 Table 27). Given an lvalue g of type remove_reference_t<EF>, the expression g() shall be well-formed.

The constructor parameter f in the following constructors shall be a reference to a function or a reference to a function object (C++17 §23.14).

template <class EFP>
explicit scope-guard(EFP&& f) noexcept(
    is_nothrow_constructible_v<EF, EFP> ||
    is_nothrow_constructible_v<EF, EFP&>);
Requires:
The expression f() shall be well-formed. Calling f() shall have well-defined behavior. For scope_exit and scope_fail, calling f() shall not throw an exception.
Effects:
If EFP is not an lvalue reference type and is_nothrow_constructible_v<EF, EFP> is true, initialize exit_function with std::forward<EFP>(f); otherwise initialize exit_function with f. For scope_exit and scope_fail, if the initialization of exit_function throws an exception, calls f(). [ Note: For scope_success, f() will not be called if the initialization fails. end note ]
Throws:
Any exception thrown during the initialization of exit_function.
Remarks:
This constructor shall not participate in overload resolution unless is_same_v<remove_cvref_t<EFP>, scope-guard> is false and is_constructible_v<EF, EFP> is true.
scope-guard(scope-guard&& rhs) noexcept(see below)
Requires:
If EF is an object type:
  • if is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<EF> is true, EF shall meet the requirements of MoveConstructible (C++17 Table 23),
  • otherwise EF shall meet the requirements of CopyConstructible (C++17 Table 24).
Effects:
If is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<EF> is true, initializes exit_function with std::forward<EF>(rhs.exit_function), otherwise initializes exit_function with rhs.exit_function. Initializes execute_on_destruction from rhs.execute_on_destruction and uncaught_on_creation from rhs.uncaught_on_creation. If construction succeeds, call rhs.release(). [ Note: Copying instead of moving provides the strong exception guarantee. end note ]
Postconditions:
execute_on_destruction yields the value rhs.execute_on_destruction yielded before the construction. uncaught_on_creation yields the value rhs.uncaught_on_creation yielded before the construction.
Throws:
Any exception thrown during the initialization of exit_function.
Remarks:
This constructor shall not participate in overload resolution unless (is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<EF> || is_copy_constructible_v<EF>) is true. The expression inside noexcept is equivalent to is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<EF> || is_nothrow_copy_constructible_v<EF>.
~scope_exit() noexcept(true);
Effects:
Equivalent to:
if (execute_on_destruction)
  exit_function();
~scope_fail() noexcept(true);
Effects:
Equivalent to:
if (execute_on_destruction && uncaught_exceptions() > uncaught_on_creation)
  exit_function();
~scope_success() noexcept(noexcept(exit_function()));
Effects:
Equivalent to:
if (execute_on_destruction && uncaught_exceptions() <= uncaught_on_creation)
  exit_function();
[ Note: If noexcept(exit_function()) is false, exit_function() may throw an exception, notwithstanding the restrictions of C++17 §. end note ]
Throws:
Any exception thrown by exit_function().
void release() noexcept;
Effects:
Equivalent to execute_on_destruction = false.

[ Note: unique_resource is a universal RAII wrapper for resource handles. Typically, such resource handles are of trivial type and come with a factory function and a clean-up or deleter function that do not throw exceptions. The clean-up function together with the result of the creation function is used to create a unique_resource variable, that on destruction will call the clean-up function. Access to the underlying resource handle is achieved through get() and in case of a pointer type resource through a set of convenience pointer operator functions. end note ]

The template argument D shall satisfy the requirements of a Destructible (C++17 Table 27) function object type (C++17 §23.14), for which, given a lvalue d of type D and a lvalue r of type R, the expression d(r) shall be well-formed. D shall either satisfy the requirements of CopyConstructible (C++17 Table 24), or D shall satisfy the requirements of MoveConstructible (C++17 Table 23) and is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<D> shall be true.

For the purpose of this subclause, a resource type T is an object type that satisfies the requirements of CopyConstructible (C++17 Table 24), or is an object type that satisfies the requirements of MoveConstructible (C++17 Table 23) and is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<T> is true, or is an lvalue reference to a resource type. R shall be a resource type.

For the scope of the adjacent subclauses, let RESOURCE be defined as follows:

  • resource.get() if is_reference_v<R> is true,
  • resource otherwise.

3.3.3.2

Constructors

[scopeguard.uniqueres.ctor]
unique_resource()
Effects:
Value-initializes resource and deleter; execute_on_reset is initialized with false.
Remarks:
This constructor shall not participate in overload resolution unless is_default_constructible_v<R> && is_default_constructible_v<D> is true.
template <class RR, class DD>
unique_resource(RR&& r, DD&& d) noexcept(see below)
Requires:
The expressions d(r), d(RESOURCE) and deleter(RESOURCE) are well-formed. Calling d(r), d(RESOURCE) or deleter(RESOURCE) shall have well-defined behavior and shall not throw an exception.
Effects:
If is_nothrow_constructible_v<R1, RR> is true, initializes resource with std::forward<RR>(r), otherwise initializes resource with r. Then, if is_nothrow_constructible_v<D, DD> is true, initializes deleter with std::forward<DD>(d), otherwise initializes deleter with d. If initialization of resource throws an exception, calls d(r). If initialization of deleter throws an exception, calls d(RESOURCE). [ Note: The explained mechanism ensures no leaking of resources. end note ]
Throws:
Any exception thrown during initialization of resource or deleter.
Remarks:
This constructor shall not participate in overload resolution unless
is_constructible_v<R1, RR> &&
is_constructible_v<D , DD> &&
(is_nothrow_constructible_v<R1, RR> || is_constructible_v<R1,RR&>) &&
(is_nothrow_constructible_v<D , DD> || is_constructible_v<D ,DD&>)
is true. [ Note: The first two conditions prohibit initialization from an rvalue reference when either R1 or D is a specialization of reference_wrapper. end note ] The expression inside noexcept is equivalent to:
(is_nothrow_constructible_v<R1, RR> || is_nothrow_constructible_v<R1, RR&>) &&
(is_nothrow_constructible_v<D , DD> || is_nothrow_constructible_v<D , DD&>)
unique_resource(unique_resource&& rhs) noexcept(see below);
Effects:
First, initialize resource as follows:
  • If is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<R1> is true, from std::move(rhs.resource);
  • otherwise, from rhs.resource.
[ Note: If initialization of resource throws an exception, rhs is left owning the resource and will free it in due time. end note ] Then, initialize deleter as follows:
  • If is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<D> is true, from std::move(rhs.deleter);
  • otherwise, from rhs.deleter.
If initialization of deleter throws an exception and is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<R1> is true and rhs.execute_on_reset is true:
rhs.deleter(RESOURCE);
rhs.release();
Finally, execute_on_reset is initialized with exchange(rhs.execute_on_reset, false). [ Note: The explained mechanism ensures no leaking and no double release of resources. end note ]
Remarks:
The expression inside noexcept is equivalent to is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<R1> && is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<D>.
3.3.3.3

Destructor

[scopeguard.uniqueres.dtor]
~unique_resource();
Effects:
Equivalent to reset().
3.3.3.4

Assignment

[scopeguard.uniqueres.assign]
unique_resource&operator=(unique_resource&& rhs) noexcept(see below);
Requires:
If is_nothrow_move_assignable_v<R1> is true, R1 shall satisfy the MoveAssignable requirements (C++17 Table 25); otherwise R1 shall satisfy the CopyAssignable requirements (C++17 Table 26). If is_nothrow_move_assignable_v<D> is true, D shall satisfy the MoveAssignable requirements (C++17 Table 25); otherwise D shall satisfy the CopyAssignable requirements (C++17 Table 26).
Effects:
Equivalent to:
reset();
if constexpr (is_nothrow_move_assignable_v<R1>) {
  if constexpr (is_nothrow_move_assignable_v<D>) {
    resource = std::move(rhs.resource);
    deleter = std::move(rhs.deleter);
  } else {
    deleter = rhs.deleter;
    resource = std::move(rhs.resource);
  }
} else {
  if constexpr (is_nothrow_move_assignable_v<D>) {
    resource = rhs.resource;
    deleter = std::move(rhs.deleter);
  } else {
    resource = rhs.resource;
    deleter = rhs.deleter;
  }
}
execute_on_reset = exchange(rhs.execute_on_reset, false);
[ Note: If a copy of a member throws an exception, this mechanism leaves rhs intact and *this in the released state. end note ]
Throws:
Any exception thrown during a copy-assignment of a member that cannot be moved without an exception.
Remarks:
The expression inside noexcept is equivalent to is_nothrow_move_assignable_v<R1> && is_nothrow_move_assignable_v<D>.
3.3.3.5

Other member functions

[scopeguard.uniqueres.members]
void reset() noexcept;
Effects:
Equivalent to:
if (execute_on_reset) {
  execute_on_reset = false;
  deleter(RESOURCE);
}
template <class RR> void reset(RR&& r);
Requires:
The expression deleter(r) shall be well-formed. Calling deleter(r) shall have well-defined behavior and shall not throw an exception.
Effects:
Equivalent to:
reset();
if constexpr (is_nothrow_assignable_v<R1&, RR>) {
  resource = std::forward<RR>(r);
} else {
  resource = as_const(r);
}
execute_on_reset = true;
Remarks:
This function shall not participate in overload resolution unless the selected assignment expression statement assigning resource is well-formed.
void release() noexcept;
Effects:
Equivalent to execute_on_reset = false.
const R& get() const noexcept;
Returns:
resource.
see below operator*() const noexcept;
Effects:
Equivalent to: return *get();
Remarks:
This function shall not participate in overload resolution unless is_pointer_v<R> is true and is_void_v<remove_pointer_t<R>> is false. The return type is add_lvalue_reference_t<remove_pointer_t<R>>.
R operator->() const noexcept;
Returns:
get().
Remarks:
This function shall not participate in overload resolution unless is_pointer_v<R> is true.
const D& get_deleter() const noexcept;
Returns:
deleter.
3.3.3.6

unique_resource creation

[scopeguard.uniqueres.create]
template <class R, class D, class S=decay_t<R>>
unique_resource<decay_t<R>, decay_t<D>>
  make_unique_resource_checked(R&& resource, const S& invalid, D&& d)
  noexcept(is_nothrow_constructible_v<decay_t<R>, R> &&
           is_nothrow_constructible_v<decay_t<D>, D>);
Requires:
The expression (resource == invalid ? true : false) shall be well-formed. Evaluation of the expression (resource == invalid ? true : false) shall have well-defined behavior and shall not throw an exception.
Effects:
Returns an object constructed with members initialized from std::forward<R>(resource), std::forward<D>(d), and !bool(resource == invalid). Any failure during construction of the return value will not call d(resource) if bool(resource == invalid) is true.

[ Note: This creation function exists to avoid calling a deleter function with an invalid argument. end note ] [ Example: The following example shows its use to avoid calling fclose when fopen fails. end example ]

auto file = make_unique_resource_checked(
    ::fopen("potentially_nonexistent_file.txt", "r"),
    nullptr,
    [](auto fptr){ ::fclose(fptr); });

3.4.2

Other type transformations

[meta.trans.other]

This sub-clause contains templates that may be used to transform one type to another following some predefined rule.

Each of the templates in this subclause shall be a TransformationTrait (C++17 §23.15.1).

Within this section, define the invocation parameters of INVOKE(f, t1, t2, ..., tN) as follows, in which T1 is the possibly cv-qualified type of t1 and U1 denotes T1& if t1 is an lvalue or T1&& if t1 is an rvalue:

  • When f is a pointer to a member function of a class T the invocation parameters are U1 followed by the parameters of f matched by t2, ..., tN.
  • When N == 1 and f is a pointer to member data of a class T the invocation parameter is U1.
  • If f is a class object, the invocation parameters are the parameters matching t1, ..., tN of the best viable function (C++17 §16.3.3) for the arguments t1, ..., tN among the function call operators and surrogate call functions of f.
  • In all other cases, the invocation parameters are the parameters of f matching t1, ... tN.

In all of the above cases, if an argument tI matches the ellipsis in the function's parameter-declaration-clause, the corresponding invocation parameter is defined to be the result of applying the default argument promotions (C++17 §8.2.2) to tI.

[ Example: Assume S is defined as
struct S {
  int f(double const &) const;
  void operator()(int, int);
  void operator()(char const *, int i = 2, int j = 3);
  void operator()(...);
};
  • The invocation parameters of INVOKE(&S::f, S(), 3.5) are (S &&, double const &).
  • The invocation parameters of INVOKE(S(), 1, 2) are (int, int).
  • The invocation parameters of INVOKE(S(), "abc", 5) are (const char *, int). The defaulted parameter j does not correspond to an argument.
  • The invocation parameters of INVOKE(S(), locale(), 5) are (locale, int). Arguments corresponding to ellipsis maintain their types.
end example ]
Table 4 — Other type transformations
TemplateConditionComments
template <class Fn, class... ArgTypes>
struct raw_invocation_type<Fn(ArgTypes...)>;
Fn and all types in the parameter pack ArgTypes shall be complete types, (possibly cv-qualified) void, or arrays of unknown bound. see below
template <class Fn, class... ArgTypes>
struct invocation_type<Fn(ArgTypes...)>;
Fn and all types in the parameter pack ArgTypes shall be complete types, (possibly cv-qualified) void, or arrays of unknown bound. see below

Access checking is performed as if in a context unrelated to Fn and ArgTypes. Only the validity of the immediate context of the expression is considered. [ Note: The compilation of the expression can result in side effects such as the instantiation of class template specializations and function template specializations, the generation of implicitly-defined functions, and so on. Such side effects are not in the "immediate context" and can result in the program being ill-formed. end note ]

The member raw_invocation_type<Fn(ArgTypes...)>::type shall be defined as follows. If the expression INVOKE(declval<Fn>(), declval<ArgTypes>()...) is ill-formed when treated as an unevaluated operand (C++17 §8), there shall be no member type. Otherwise:

  • Let R denote result_of_t<Fn(ArgTypes...)>.
  • Let the types Ti be the invocation parameters of INVOKE(declval<Fn>(), declval<ArgTypes>()...).
  • Then the member type shall name the function type R(T1, T2, ...).

The member invocation_type<Fn(ArgTypes...)>::type shall be defined as follows. If raw_invocation_type<Fn(ArgTypes...)>::type does not exist, there shall be no member type. Otherwise:

  • Let A1, A2, … denote ArgTypes...
  • Let R(T1, T2, …) denote raw_invocation_type_t<Fn(ArgTypes...)>
  • Then the member type shall name the function type R(U1, U2, …) where Ui is decay_t<Ai> if declval<Ai>() is an rvalue otherwise Ti.

function construct/copy/destroy

[func.wrap.func.con]

When a function constructor that takes a first argument of type allocator_arg_t is invoked, the second argument is treated as a type-erased allocator (5.3). If the constructor moves or makes a copy of a function object (C++17 §23.14), including an instance of the experimental::function class template, then that move or copy is performed by using-allocator construction with allocator get_memory_resource().

In the following descriptions, let ALLOCATOR_OF(f) be the allocator specified in the construction of function f, or the value of experimental::pmr::get_default_resource() at the time of the construction of f if no allocator was specified.

function& operator=(const function& f);
Effects:
function(allocator_arg, ALLOCATOR_OF(*this), f).swap(*this);
Returns:
*this.
function& operator=(function&& f);
Effects:
function(allocator_arg, ALLOCATOR_OF(*this), std::move(f)).swap(*this);
Returns:
*this.
function& operator=(nullptr_t) noexcept;
Effects:
If *this != nullptr, destroys the target of this.
Postconditions:
!(*this). The memory resource returned by get_memory_resource() after the assignment is equivalent to the memory resource before the assignment. [ Note: the address returned by get_memory_resource() might change end note ]
Returns:
*this.
template<class F> function& operator=(F&& f);
Effects:
function(allocator_arg, ALLOCATOR_OF(*this), std::forward<F>(f)).swap(*this);
Returns:
*this.
Remarks:
This assignment operator shall not participate in overload resolution unless declval<decay_t<F>&>() is Callable (C++17 §23.14.13.2) for argument types ArgTypes... and return type R.
template<class F> function& operator=(reference_wrapper<F> f);
Effects:
function(allocator_arg, ALLOCATOR_OF(*this), f).swap(*this);
Returns:
*this.

[func.wrap.func.mod]
void swap(function& other);
Requires:
*this->get_memory_resource() == *other.get_memory_resource().
Effects:
Interchanges the targets of *this and other.
Remarks:
The allocators of *this and other are not interchanged.

Non-owning pointers

[memory.observer.ptr]

A non-owning pointer, known as an observer, is an object o that stores a pointer to a second object, w. In this context, w is known as a watched object. [ Note: There is no watched object when the stored pointer is nullptr. end note ] An observer takes no responsibility or ownership of any kind for its watched object, if any; in particular, there is no inherent relationship between the lifetimes of o and w.

Specializations of observer_ptr shall meet the requirements of a CopyConstructible and CopyAssignable type. The template parameter W of an observer_ptr shall not be a reference type, but may be an incomplete type.

[ Note: The uses of observer_ptr include clarity of interface specification in new code, and interoperability with pointer-based legacy code. end note ]

Type-erased allocator

[memory.type.erased.allocator]

A type-erased allocator is an allocator or memory resource, alloc, used to allocate internal data structures for an object X of type C, but where C is not dependent on the type of alloc. Once alloc has been supplied to X (typically as a constructor argument), alloc can be retrieved from X only as a pointer rptr of static type std::pmr::memory_resource* (C++17 §23.12.2). The process by which rptr is computed from alloc depends on the type of alloc as described in Table 5:

Table 5 — Computed memory_resource for type-erased allocator
If the type of alloc is then the value of rptr is
non-existent — no alloc specified The value of pmr::get_default_resource() at the time of construction.
nullptr_t The value of pmr::get_default_resource() at the time of construction.
a pointer type convertible to pmr::memory_resource* static_cast<pmr::memory_resource*>(alloc)
pmr::polymorphic_allocator<U> alloc.resource()
any other type meeting the Allocator requirements (C++17 §20.5.3.5) a pointer to a value of type pmr::resource_adaptor<A> where A is the type of alloc. rptr remains valid only for the lifetime of X.
None of the above The program is ill-formed.

Additionally, class C shall meet the following requirements:

  • C::allocator_type shall be identical to std::experimental::erased_type.
  • X.get_memory_resource() returns rptr.

Alias template resource_adaptor

[memory.resource.adaptor]
5.5.1

resource_adaptor

[memory.resource.adaptor.overview]

An instance of resource_adaptor<Allocator> is an adaptor that wraps a memory_resource interface around Allocator. In order that resource_adaptor<X<T>> and resource_adaptor<X<U>> are the same type for any allocator template X and types T and U, resource_adaptor<Allocator> is rendered as an alias to a class template such that Allocator is rebound to a char value type in every specialization of the class template. The requirements on this class template are defined below. The name resource_adaptor_imp is for exposition only and is not normative, but the definitions of the members of that class, whatever its name, are normative. In addition to the Allocator requirements (C++17 §20.5.3.5), the parameter to resource_adaptor shall meet the following additional requirements:

  • typename allocator_traits<Allocator>::pointer shall be identical to typename allocator_traits<Allocator>::value_type*.
  • typename allocator_traits<Allocator>::const_pointer shall be identical to typename allocator_traits<Allocator>::value_type const*.
  • typename allocator_traits<Allocator>::void_pointer shall be identical to void*.
  • typename allocator_traits<Allocator>::const_void_pointer shall be identical to void const*.

// The name resource_adaptor_imp is for exposition only.
template <class Allocator>
class resource_adaptor_imp : public memory_resource {
  // for exposition only
  Allocator m_alloc;

public:
  using allocator_type = Allocator;

  resource_adaptor_imp() = default;
  resource_adaptor_imp(const resource_adaptor_imp&) = default;
  resource_adaptor_imp(resource_adaptor_imp&&) = default;

5.5.3

resource_adaptor_imp member functions

[memory.resource.adaptor.mem]
void* do_allocate(size_t bytes, size_t alignment);
Returns:
Allocated memory obtained by calling m_alloc.allocate. The size and alignment of the allocated memory shall meet the requirements for a class derived from memory_resource ().
void do_deallocate(void* p, size_t bytes, size_t alignment);
Requires:
p was previously allocated using A.allocate, where A == m_alloc, and not subsequently deallocated.
Effects:
Returns memory to the allocator using m_alloc.deallocate().
bool do_is_equal(const memory_resource& other) const noexcept;

Let p be dynamic_cast<const resource_adaptor_imp*>(&other).

Returns:
false if p is null, otherwise the value of m_alloc == p->m_alloc.

The delimiter that it was constructed with is written to the stream between every two Ts that are written. It is not possible to get a value out of the output iterator. Its only use is as an output iterator in situations like

while (first != last)
  *result++ = *first++;

ostream_joiner is defined as

namespace std::experimental {
inline namespace fundamentals_v3 {

  template <class DelimT, class charT = char, class traits = char_traits<charT> >
  class ostream_joiner {
  public:
    using char_type = charT;
    using traits_type = traits;
    using ostream_type = basic_ostream<charT, traits>;
    using iterator_category = output_iterator_tag;
    using value_type = void;
    using difference_type = void;
    using pointer = void;
    using reference = void;

    ostream_joiner(ostream_type& s, const DelimT& delimiter);
    ostream_joiner(ostream_type& s, DelimT&& delimiter);

Sampling

[alg.random.sample]
template<class PopulationIterator, class SampleIterator, class Distance>
SampleIterator sample(PopulationIterator first, PopulationIterator last,
                      SampleIterator out, Distance n);
Effects:
Equivalent to:
return ::std::sample(first, last, out, n, g);
where g denotes the per-thread engine (10.1.2.1). To the extent that the implementation of this function makes use of random numbers, the object g shall serve as the implementation’s source of randomness.
9.3

Shuffle

[alg.random.shuffle]
template<class RandomAccessIterator>
  void shuffle(RandomAccessIterator first, RandomAccessIterator last);
Effects:
Permutes the elements in the range [first,last) such that each possible permutation of those elements has equal probability of appearance.
Requires:
RandomAccessIterator shall satisfy the requirements of ValueSwappable (C++17 §20.5.3.2).
Complexity:
Exactly (last - first) - 1 swaps.
Remarks:
To the extent that the implementation of this function makes use of random numbers, the per-thread engine (10.1.2.1) shall serve as the implementation's source of randomness.

Function template randint

[rand.util.randint]

A separate per-thread engine of type default_random_engine (C++17 §29.6.5), initialized to an unpredictable state, shall be maintained for each thread.

template<class IntType>
IntType randint(IntType a, IntType b);
Requires:
ab.
Remarks:
If the template argument does not meet the requirements for IntType (C++17 §29.6.1.1), the program is ill-formed.
Returns:
A random integer i, aib, produced from a thread-local instance of uniform_int_distribution<IntType> (C++17 §29.6.8.2.1) invoked with the per-thread engine.
void reseed();void reseed(default_random_engine::result_type value);
Effects:
Let g be the per-thread engine. The first form sets g to an unpredictable state. The second form invokes g.seed(value).
Postconditions:
Subsequent calls to randint do not depend on values produced by g before calling reseed. [ Note: reseed also resets any instances of uniform_int_distribution used by randint. end note ]

[ Note: The intent of source_location is to have a small size and efficient copying. end note ]

11.2.1

source_location creation

[reflection.src_loc.creation]
static constexpr source_location current() noexcept;
Returns:
When invoked by a function call (C++17 §8.2.2) whose postfix-expression is a (possibly parenthesized) id-expression naming current, returns a source_location with an implementation-defined value. The value should be affected by #line (C++17 §19.4) in the same manner as for __LINE__ and __FILE__. If invoked in some other way, the value returned is unspecified.
Remarks:
When a brace-or-equal-initializer is used to initialize a non-static data member, any calls to current should correspond to the location of the constructor or aggregate initialization that initializes the member.

[ Note: When used as a default argument (C++17 §11.3.6), the value of the source_location will be the location of the call to current at the call site. end note ]

[ Example:
struct s {
  source_location member = source_location::current();
  int other_member;
  s(source_location loc = source_location::current())
    : member(loc) // values of member will be from call-site
  {}
  s(int blather) : // values of member should be hereabouts
    other_member(blather) {}
  s(double) // values of member should be hereabouts
  {}
};

void f(source_location a = source_location::current()) {
  source_location b = source_location::current(); // values in b represent this line
}

void g() {
  f(); // f’s first argument corresponds to this line of code

  source_location c = source_location::current();
  f(c); // f’s first argument gets the same values as c, above
}
end example ]
constexpr source_location() noexcept;
Effects:
Constructs an object of class source_location.
Remarks:
The values are implementation-defined.
11.2.2

source_location field access

[reflection.src_loc.fields]
constexpr uint_least32_t line() const noexcept;
Returns:
The presumed line number (C++17 §19.8) represented by this object.
constexpr uint_least32_t column() const noexcept;
Returns:
An implementation-defined value representing some offset from the start of the line represented by this object.
constexpr const char* file_name() const noexcept;
Returns:
The presumed name of the current source file (C++17 §19.8) represented by this object as an NTBS.
constexpr const char* function_name() const noexcept;
Returns:
If this object represents a position in the body of a function, returns an implementation-defined NTBS that should correspond to the function name. Otherwise, returns an empty string.
