<h2><a name="boost_1_35">Boost 1.35 release</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>New <a href="tutorial/key_extraction.html#global_fun"><code>global_fun</code></a>
|
|
predefined key extractor.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Added <a href="tutorial/indices.html#iterator_to"><code>iterator_to</code></a>
|
|
facility.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Included <a href="tutorial/creation.html#special_allocator">support for
|
|
non-standard allocators</a> such as those of
|
|
<a href="../../interprocess/index.html">Boost.Interprocess</a>, which makes
|
|
<code>multi_index_container</code>s placeable in shared memory.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>New versions of <code>modify</code> and <code>modify_key</code> with
|
|
rollback, as described in the
|
|
<a href="tutorial/basics.html#ord_updating">tutorial</a>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Indices provide the new <code>cbegin</code>, <code>cend</code> and,
|
|
when applicable, <code>crbegin</code> and <code>crend</code>
|
|
member functions, in accordance with the latest drafts of the next
|
|
revision of the C++ standard.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Hinted insertion in ordered indices fully conforms to the resolutions of
|
|
C++ Standard Library
|
|
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#233">Defect
|
|
Report 233</a>. The new requirement that the point of insertion
|
|
be always as close as possible to the hint induces a different behavior than
|
|
exhibited in former releases of Boost.MultiIndex, which can potentially cause
|
|
backwards compatibility problems; in any case, the likelihood of these
|
|
compatibility issues arising in a real scenario is very low.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Sequenced and random access indices now follow the requirements of the
|
|
C++ standard for sequence containers with respect to the operations
|
|
<code>assign(f,l)</code> and <code>insert(p,f,l)</code> (23.1.1/9): if
|
|
<code>f</code> and <code>l</code> are of the same integral type, the
|
|
iterator-based overloads of these member functions are avoided:

<h2><a name="boost_1_34">Boost 1.34 release</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Added <a href="tutorial/indices.html#rnd_indices">random access
|
|
indices</a>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Non key-based indices provide new
|
|
<a href="tutorial/indices.html#rearrange">rearrange facilities</a>
|
|
allowing for interaction with external mutating algorithms.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>All predefined Boost.MultiIndex key extractors
|
|
instantiated for a given type <code>T</code> can handle objects of types
|
|
derived from or convertible to <code>T</code> (and
|
|
<a href="reference/key_extraction.html#chained_pointers">chained pointers</a>
|
|
to those). Previously, only objects of the exact type specified (along with
|
|
<code>reference_wrapper</code>s and chained pointers to them) were accepted.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><a href="reference/key_extraction.html#composite_key_compare"><code>composite_key_compare</code></a>
|
|
and related classes accept operands not included in tuples as if they were passed
|
|
in a tuple of length 1; this allows the user to omit tuple enclosing in
|
|
lookup operations involving composite keys when only the first key is provided.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>The core algorithms of ordered indices have been optimized, yielding
|
|
an estimated reduction of about 5% in insertion times.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Size of ordered indices node headers have been reduced by 25% on
|
|
most platforms, using a well known
|
|
<a href="tutorial/indices.html#ordered_node_compression">optimization
|
|
technique</a>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>The tutorial has been restructured, new examples added.</li>
|

<li>Maintenance fixes.</li>

|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>For ordered and hashed indices, <code>erase(it)</code> and
|
|
<code>erase(first,last)</code> now return an iterator to the element
|
|
following those being deleted (previously nothing was returned), in
|
|
accordance with the C++ Standard Library

Report 130</a> and issue 6.19 of TR1

|
|
List</a>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Boost.MultiIndex offers the usual guarantees with respect to
|
|
multithreading code provided by most STL implementations:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Concurrent access to different containers is safe.</li>
|
|
<li>Concurrent read-only access to the same container is safe.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
In previous versions of the library, the latter guarantee was not properly
|
|
maintained if the <a href="tutorial/debug.html#safe_mode">safe
|
|
mode</a> was set. This problem has been fixed now.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Maintenance fixes.</li>

<h2><a name="boost_1_33">Boost 1.33 release</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Added <a href="tutorial/indices.html#hashed_indices">hashed indices</a>,
|
|
whose interface is based on the specification for unordered associative
|
|
containers by the C++ Standard Library Technical Report (TR1).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Added <a href="tutorial/creation.html#serialization">serialization support</a>
|
|
for <a href="../../serialization/index.html">Boost.Serialization</a>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Destruction of <code>multi_index_container</code>s and <code>clear</code>
|
|
memfuns now perform faster.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Internal changes aimed at reducing the length of symbol names generated
|
|
by the compiler; cuts of up to a 50% can be achieved with respect to the
|
|
Boost 1.32 release. This results in much shorter and more readable error
|
|
messages and has also a beneficial impact on compilers with strict limits on
|
|
symbol name lengths. Additionally, a section on further
|
|
<a href="compiler_specifics.html#symbol_reduction">reduction of symbol name
|
|
lengths</a> has been added.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Restructured some parts of the documentation, new examples.</li>
|
|
<li>Maintenance fixes.</li>
