    > you can still use it with smart pointers provided by any other library

    Is the point of having a kitchen-sink library like this not that you dont have to reach for a 3rdparty library for things that you need 'all the time'?

    Certainly, not everyone needs it.

    ...but, not everyone needs threads either. Not everyone needs an http server; and yet, if you have an application framework that provides them, when you do need them, it saves you reaching for yet-another-dependency.

    Was that no the point from the beginning?

    unique_ptr is a fundamental primitive for many, as you see from some other frameworks (1), and implementation is not always either a) trivial, or b) as simple as 'just use std::unique_ptr'.

    This does seem like a very opinionated decision with reasonably unclear justification.

    C++, but generally treat it as C. STL is pretty slow while debugging so we avoid it and write our own replacements. If you don't want to drive that deep use something like EASTL: https://github.com/electronicarts/EASTL

    In my opinion, you should also benchmark it against something like boost::container::flat_set or eastl::vector_set and you should expect the same performance as with your ordered functionality. Another interesting idea for organization of such flat and sorted container can be found here.

    EASTL might also be worth a look, the code is relatively readable and well-documented.

    I just took a look at their atomic.h and wow, "well-documented" is an understatement !
  • should I just use C++ STL alternatives?
    2 projects | /r/cpp | 19 Jul 2022
    I recently read this benchmark series about hashing and hashmaps, which includes EA STL. It performs fairly decently overall in that regard. EA STL also has benchmarks in its source repo. But I would also expect that some of its perfomance improvements are almost self evident, such as containers like tuple_vector, intrusive containers, and fixed-size containers that don't have an analogous feature in the STL, all of which are integrated into its own polymorphic allocators and arenas (different from and more flexible than std::pmr) along with its other algorithms. It would be interesting to see them benchmarked against Boost, which has similar features but written in the STL style.
  • EASTL atomic macro not implemented
    2 projects | /r/cpp_questions | 28 Jun 2022
    I'm currently trying to add EASTL to my project, but when I try to build it using CMake (either as a subdirectory, or directly in the EASTL subdirectory), I get the error message EASTL\include\EASTL\internal\atomic\atomic_integral.h(330,2): error C2338: static_assert failed: 'eastl::atomic atomic macro not implemented!'. Does anyone have any clue why this could be happening?

    I haven't, but that's a great idea! I did test it against the EASTL and that worked well and is still fast enough it appears instant.
