boost VS unordered

We do not control boost.org, and putting this on a subdomain imputes an authority for decision-making we don't have. Building it on some temporary domains, then presenting it as a choice is the only approach compatible with Boost values.

Not at all. There is no "they", the Boost Libraries is just a collection of individual libraries that each have their own author or maintainer, usually unpaid (although the C++ Alliance has changed that somewhat). The only funding that "Boost" gets is from running the C++Now conference, and some of that pays for the hosting of boost.org.

Though the links within it seem to be to boost.org and therefore fail to be resolved. Well I can manually replace them with https://www.boostcpp.org/ like:

Oh wow, it behaves incorrectly...when I visit http://boost.org/ or https://... it shows spam on my side, whereas when I visit https://www.boost.org/ it works as expected.

If you wondered why Boost headers look like hell that's because once your library ends up being popular, you're kinda stuck supporting quirky compilers -- either yourself, or accepting patches for it.

We added two new benchmarks to Boost.Unordered, word_count and word_size, and the second one ends up testing a small hash table (114 elements in 64 bit, even fewer in 32 bit because we use a smaller input file there.)

Hi, we have seen similar gains with __forceinline in MSVC, looks like this compiler is not particularly aggressive at inlining. Could you please file an issue at Boost.Unordered repo so what we don't forget? Thank you

You can request a feature be added by opening an issue in https://github.com/boostorg/unordered.

Here are the results of our uint32.cpp synthetic benchmark under VS2022 Release x64:

You can run these benchmarks yourself from the Boost develop branch, they are in the Unordered repo. Since Unordered is header-only, there should be need to build Boost but you do need to bootstrap and then run b2 headers to create the symlinks in boost/.

Make sure you checkout the preview.md for instructions on how to build nightly Boost in a way that's non-intrusive to your system and works with CMake.
