Hi Thorsten,

I'm sorry but I don't have time for this. I can still do circullar_buffer bug fixing and maintenance but have no time for new development as my priorities have changed.

Thank you for understanding.

Regards,

Jan

Hi Ion and Jan,

I often use these containers: flat_set, flat_map and circular_buffer. They are great.

However, we can make them faster if you allow a new template argument. For example

  template
  <
    class T,
        class Alloc,
        class Buffer = /* some default */
  >
  class circular_buffer;

  template
  <
    typename T,
    typename Pred,
    typename Alloc
        class PushBackContainer = /* some default */
  >
  class flat_set;

My motivation is that these can perform somewhat better e.g. with an array (for circular_buffer), or auto_buffer (for flat_set/flat_map).
I think even some very simply array wrapper would be useable with
flat_set.

The EA STL implementation has this features.

What do you think?

-Thorsten
