History

#1 Updated by Sender Ghost almost 12 years ago

  • File 460_uppsrc.diffMagnifier added
  • Category set to Core
  • Status changed from New to Patch ready
  • Assignee set to Miroslav Fidler

If I understood correctly, it must be possible to do the following:

#include <Core/Core.h>

using namespace Upp;

CONSOLE_APP_MAIN
{
    String data = "Some data";
    String text =
#if 1
        String()
#else // as well as
        String().Cat()
#endif
        << data << " and some text\n";

    Cout() << text;
}

The corresponding patch included.

#2 Updated by Miroslav Fidler almost 12 years ago

Actually, that is only a partial solution. This should work too:

String text = String() << 123;

(-> method has to be the template)

Anyway, we have yet to decide whether this is a good idea after all...

#4 Updated by Sender Ghost almost 12 years ago

  • File 460_uppsrc2.diffMagnifier added

  • % Done changed from 0 to 100

I created the second version of the patch, which solves the above case.

I think, the methods are equal (because of using almost the same inlined versions).
The sizes of applications, compiled with (MinGW) GCC and MSC for current and new methods, are the same.

The main purpose is to "help" GCC compiler (where MSC compiler is ok for current and new methods) to understand:

conversion for argument 1 from 'Upp::String' to 'Upp::String&'.

#6 Updated by Sender Ghost almost 12 years ago

Also I created the patch for global conversion of String().Cat() to String() following directories:

bazaar, examples, rainbow, reference, tutorial, uppbox, uppdev, uppsrc, upptst.

#7 Updated by Miroslav Fidler almost 9 years ago
