API Incompatibility Notes
v2.0
baseline C++ version has been set to C++17.
deprecated
rectangle_set
data structure has been removed.
multi_type_vector
The second template parameter is now a trait type that specifies custom event function type and loop-unrolling factor. Prior to 2.0 the second template parameter was custom event function type.
Due to the addition of the structure-of-arrays variant, the following header files have been relocated:
Relocated Headers Old header location
New header location
mdds/multi_type_vector_types.hpp
mdds/multi_type_vector/types.hpp
mdds/multi_type_vector_macro.hpp
mdds/multi_type_vector/macro.hpp
mdds/multi_type_vector_trait.hpp
mdds/multi_type_vector/trait.hpp
mdds/multi_type_vector_itr.hpp
mdds/multi_type_vector/aos/iterator.hpp
mdds/multi_type_vector_custom_func1.hpp
mdds/multi_type_vector/custom_func1.hpp
mdds/multi_type_vector_custom_func2.hpp
mdds/multi_type_vector/custom_func2.hpp
mdds/multi_type_vector_custom_func3.hpp
mdds/multi_type_vector/custom_func3.hpp
The old headers will continue to work for the time being, but consider them deprecated.
Since now we have array-of-structures (AoS) and structure-of-arrays (SoA) variants of multi_type_vector, there are two instances of multi_type_vector class in two different headers and namespace locations. To use the AoS variant, include the header
#include <mdds/multi_type_vector/aos/main.hpp>
and instantiate the template class as
mdds::mtv::aos::multi_type_vector
. Likewise, to use the SoA variant, include the header#include <mdds/multi_type_vector/soa/main.hpp>
and instantiate the template class as
mdds::mtv::soa::multi_type_vector
.If you include the original header
#include <mdds/multi_type_vector.hpp>
it will include a template alias
mdds::multi_type_vector
that simply referencesmdds::mtv::soa::multi_type_vector
.
segment_tree
The following public types have been renamed:
search_result
->search_results
search_result_type
->search_results_type
v1.5
multi_type_vector
The standard integer blocks previously used non-standard integer types, namely:
short
unsigned short
int
unsigned int
long
unsigned long
char
unsigned char
Starting with this version, the integer blocks now use:
(u)int8_t
(u)int16_t
(u)int32_t
(u)int64_t
The numeric_element_block type has been renamed to double_element_block, to make room for a new element block for float type named float_element_block.
v1.4
multi_type_matrix
The walk() methods previously took the function object by reference, but the newer versions now take the function object by value. With this change, it is now possible to pass inline lambda function. However, if you were dependent on the old behavior, this change may adversely affect the outcome of your code especially when your function object stores data members that are expected to be altered by the walk() methods.
v1.2
trie_map / packed_trie_map
The find() method now returns a const_iterator instance rather than a value type. It returns an end position iterator when the method fails to find a match.
The prefix_search() method now returns a search_results instance that has begin() and end() methods to allow iterating through the result set.
The constructor no longer takes a null value parameter.
Some nested type names have been renamed:
string_type -> key_type
char_type -> key_unit_type
string_buffer_type -> key_buffer_type
Some functions expected from the key trait class have been renamed:
init_buffer() -> to_key_buffer()
to_string() -> to_key()
The kay trait class now expects the following additional static methods:
key_buffer_type to_key_buffer(const key_type& key)
key_unit_type* buffer_data(const key_buffer_type& buf)
size_t buffer_size(const key_buffer_type& buf)
quad_point_tree
The search_result nested class has been renamed to search_results, to keep the name consistent with that of the same name in trie_map and packed_trie_map.
multi_type_matrix
The matrix trait structure (formerly known as the string trait structure) now needs to specify the type of block that stores integer values as its integer_element_block member.
v1.0
Starting with version 1.0, mdds now requires support for C++11. Stick with 0.12 or earlier versions if you use a compiler that doesn’t support C++11.
data_type has been renamed to value_type for segment_tree, rectangle_set, and point_quad_tree.
v0.9
multi_type_vector
The number of template parameters in custom_block_func1, custom_block_func2 and custom_block_func3 have been reduced by half, by deducing the numerical block type ID from the block type definition directly. If you use the older variant, simply remove the template arguments that are numerical block IDs.
v0.8
flat_segment_tree
The search_tree() method in 0.8.0 returns std::pair<const_iterator, bool> instead of just returning bool as of 0.7.1. If you use this method and relies on the return value of the old version, use the second parameter of the new return value which is equivalent of the previous return value.
v0.5
flat_segment_tree
The search() method now returns ::std::pair<const_iterator, bool>. This method previously returned only bool. Use the second parameter of the new return value which is equivalent of the previous return value.
