Group Member Specifiers

by Andrew Tomazos

Excerpt:

We propose allowing a space-separated sequence of specifiers to be placed after an access specifier in a class definition. The specifiers so placed are applied to each member declaration in the group following the access-specifier. ...

In class definitions, many times there are contiguous sequences of member declarations that have common specifiers. Under the proposal these common specifiers can be specified once at the start of a group of member declarations, rather than repeated for each member declaration. This can in some cases lead to cleaner, safer, easier-to-write, easier-to-read and easier-to-maintain code.

So instead of:

class foo : public bar
{
public:
    explicit foo(int);
    explicit foo(float);
    explicit foo(double);

protected:
    virtual T f() const override;
    virtual U g() const override;
    virtual V h() const override;
    virtual W i() const override;

private:
    static constexpr int X = 123;
    static constexpr float Y = 42.0f;
    static constexpr double Z = 123.0;
};

You could with group member specifiers equivalently write:

class foo : public bar
{
public explicit:
    foo(int);
    foo(float);
    foo(double);

protected virtual const override:
    T f();
    U g();
    V h();
    W i();

private static constexpr:
    int X = 123;
    float Y = 42.0f;
    double Z = 123.0;
};

LWG Issue 2168 is NAD

by Walter Brown

Excerpt:

LWG issue 2168 reports a perceived inconsistency between two parts of the library’s specification for uniform_real_distribution. This paper argues that there is no inconsistency and that the issue should therefore be closed as NAD.

Greatest Common Divisor and Least Common Multiple, v2

by Walter Brown

Excerpt:

This paper proposes two frequently-used classical numeric algorithms, gcd and lcm, for header <numeric>. The former calculates the greatest common divisor of two integer values, while the latter calculates their least common multiple. Both functions are already typically provided in behind-the-scenes support of the standard library’s <ratio> and <chrono> headers.

TransformationTrait Alias void_t

by Walter Brown

Excerpt:

This paper proposes a new TransformationTrait alias, void_t, for the C++ Standard Library. The trait has previously been described as an implementation detail toward enhanced versions of two other C++11 standard library components. Its value thus proven, void_t’s standardization has been requested by several noted C++ library experts, among others.
