C++11 metaprogramming library

Overview

Mp11, a C++11 metaprogramming library

Mp11 is a C++11 metaprogramming library based on template aliases and variadic templates. It implements the approach outlined in the article "Simple C++11 metaprogramming" and its sequel.

Mp11 is part of Boost, starting with release 1.66.0. It however has no Boost dependencies and can be used standalone, as a Git submodule, for instance. For CMake users, add_subdirectory is supported, as is installation and find_package(boost_mp11).

Supported compilers

  • g++ 4.7 or later
  • clang++ 3.3 or later
  • Visual Studio 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019

Tested on Travis and Appveyor.

  • Tuple transform

    Tuple transform

    Adds tuple_transform, which applies a callable to each tuple element and stores the results in another tuple. Also works with std::pair, but not with std::array.

  • Added work around for Nvidia nvcc cuda compiler >= 9.0

    Added work around for Nvidia nvcc cuda compiler >= 9.0

    I already opened aticket in the official boost tracker, but thought it is a better idea to directly provide a PR.

    While working with cuda and boost::mp11 I noticed that cuda 9 does not work with boost::mp11, even this simple application fails:

    #include <boost/mp11.hpp>
    int main() {}
    

    This seems to be a bug in the nvidia compiler >= 9, not boost, but this is a showstopper for using boost::mp11 together with a recent cuda version. Everything works fine with cuda 8. I didn't test an earlier version, but there is no C++11 before cuda 7 anyway.

    I already figured out, what fails in the background in the nvcc (details are ​here), but now also found a work around for boost::mp11:

    The problem occurs on code like this:

    template<template<class...> class F, class... T> using mp_defer = mp_if<mp_valid<F, T...>, detail::mp_defer_impl<F, T...>, detail::mp_no_type>;
    

    Everytime mp_if is used, the nvcc preprocessor tries to be "smart" and starts recursively replacing stuff so that in the end detail::mp_no_type... is given to the compiler (please don't ask why, some details are in the link above).

    I figured out I can prevent nvcc from doing this with invoking another struct inbetween like this:

    template<template<class...> class F, class... T>
    struct cuda_workaround
    {
        using type = mp_if<mp_valid<F, T...>, detail::mp_defer_impl<F, T...>, detail::mp_no_type>;
    };
    
    template<template<class...> class F, class... T>
    using mp_defer = typename cuda_workaround< F, T... >::type;
    

    This work around is needed on 5 places in the boost mp11 (see commit).

    I added an intermediate struct in the detail namespace as seen above for every case if cuda 9 is used and now my code compiles with nvcc 9.

    If the commit / PR needs adjustments to suit your style requirements, don't hesitate to ask. ;)

  • clang -x cuda: fails on >>>

    clang -x cuda: fails on >>>

    The latest trunk (pre-7.0) of clang and all previous releases fail compiling a simple:

    #include <boost/mp11.hpp>
    
    int main()
    {}
    

    when compiling for cuda C++: clang -x cuda.

    The reason lies in some mismatch, probably between CUDA kernel starts parameters >>> and closing templates in combination with variadic template arguments.

    Reported in clang here: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37013

    This PR fixes the issue by just putting spaces in, conservatively, all places with triple+ > closing template brackets.

  • Doesn't compile with Intel compiler

    Doesn't compile with Intel compiler

    Intel compiler isn't listed as supported thus this is a feature request not a bug report.

    Using the below alternative implementation (slight modification of the cppreference implementation of is_detected) for mp_valid reduces the failed tests from 9 to 2. Would it make sense to upload this with BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_INTEL) as pull request? I currently have no idea how to work around the remaining issue(s). Any suggestion/help would be welcome.

  • Requesting zip_tail / zip_tail_with

    Requesting zip_tail / zip_tail_with

    I'm not sure what the right name for these should be (the Python itertools module has an example for the first one that is named pairwise). These are fairly trivial to implement:

    template <typename L, template <typename...> class F>
    using mp_zip_tail_with = mp_transform<F, mp_pop_back<L>, mp_pop_front<L>>;
    
    template <typename L>
    using mp_zip_tail = mp_zip_tail_with<L, mp_list>;
    

    But seem useful enough that should come batteries included (and possibly there's a more efficient implementation that doesn't rely on mp_pop_back).

    On that note, mp_transform currently requires all the lists to have the same length. I think that's worth adding to the documentation (not really obvious, and the error if you get it wrong isn't particularly informative). Is it worth having a version of this that just takes the shortest list as zip?

  • Proposal mp_eval_and?

    Proposal mp_eval_and?

    This is a combination of mp_eval_if and mp_and. mp_and already shortcuts on the first substitution failure when mp_to_bool is applied to T or when the application yields mp_false. mp_eval_and would provide the same functionality for applications of meta functions F... on T.

    template <class T, template<class>class F...> using mp_eval_and = ...
    

    mp_eval_and<T, F0, F1, ...> is mp_false, if F0<T> is mp_false or a substitution failure. Otherwise it is mp_eval_and<T, F1, ...> and so on.

    Example application for mp_eval_and

    template <class T>
    using is_unsigned_integral = mp_eval_and<T, std::is_integral, std::is_unsigned>;

  • msvc-14.3 reports internal compiler error in boost/mp11/algorithm.hpp(370)

    msvc-14.3 reports internal compiler error in boost/mp11/algorithm.hpp(370)

    I made a trivial change to the histogram develop branch today and started seeing these failures:

    https://ci.appveyor.com/project/HDembinski/histogram-d5g5k/builds/44806268#L931

    This is very puzzling and I don't how to fix this. Peter, can you help me, please?

    The failures cannot originate from a change in boost histogram. The last time I tested the develop branch was at July 28th, where the appveyor tests ran through. https://ci.appveyor.com/project/HDembinski/histogram-d5g5k/builds/44309070#L900

    I did some more testing in a virtual machine with msvc-14.3 installed and found that I am now getting this error even when I go back to boost-1.79.0 and boost-1.78.0 (histogram, mp11, everything). It is always complaining about that line.

    So given all that evidence, I guess msvc-14.3 got a minor version update and that is causing the internal compiler error?

  • add projections to tuple operations

    add projections to tuple operations

    Assume we want to invoke tuple_for_each or tuple_apply on the keys or values of a map. We can encode our projection inside the function object passed as argument, but it would be nicer to pass a unary function as optional third argument.

    Consider this example

    template<class... Pairs>
    constexpr void reset_values1 (std::tuple<Pairs...>& map)
    {
      mp11::tuple_for_each (map, [] (auto& p) {
        p.second = 0;
      });
    }
    
    template<class... Pairs>
    constexpr void reset_values2 (std::tuple<Pairs...>& map)
    {
        auto set_zero = [] (auto& x) {
          x = 0;
        };
        auto second = [] (auto& x) -> auto& {
          return x.second;
        };
        mp11::tuple_for_each (map, set_zero, second);
    }
    

    The second implementation is more verbose because we had to write some function objects, but it enables easier composition. mp11 doesn't have useful function objects to compose with this feature, but higher order function libraries do.

    boost::mp11::mp_list can't be used as base class for transition table within msm::front::state_machine_def

    I just wanted to modernize my code - and try to use boost::mp11::mp_list instead of boost::mpl::vector in my FSM definitions.

    Simplified code is as follows:

    #include <iostream>
    #include <boost/msm/back/state_machine.hpp>
    #include <boost/msm/front/state_machine_def.hpp>
    
    #include <boost/mp11/list.hpp>

    #include <boost/mp11/mpl.hpp>
    
    namespace msm = boost::msm;
    
    namespace test_fsm 
    {
    struct play {};
    struct stop {};
    struct player_ : public msm::front::state_machine_def<player_>
    {
        typedef int no_exception_thrown;
        typedef int no_message_queue;
    
        struct Empty : public msm::front::state<> 
        {
            template <class Event,class FSM>   void on_entry(Event const&,FSM& ) { std::cout << "entering: Empty" << std::endl; }
            template <class Event,class FSM>   void on_exit(Event const&,FSM& ) { std::cout << "leaving: Empty" << std::endl; }
        };
        struct Playing : public msm::front::state<>
        {
            template <class Event,class FSM>    void on_entry(Event const&,FSM& ) { std::cout << "entering: Playing" << std::endl; }
            template <class Event,class FSM>    void on_exit(Event const&,FSM& ) { std::cout << "leaving: Playing" << std::endl; }
        };
    
        typedef Empty initial_state;
    
        // transition actions
        void playing(play const&)  {  }
        void stop_playing(stop const&)  {  }
        
        typedef player_ p; 
    
        struct transition_table : boost::mp11::mp_list<
                _row < Empty , play        , Playing       >,
                _row < Playing , stop        , Empty       >
        > {};
    
        // Replaces the default no-transition response.
        template <class FSM,class Event>
        void no_transition(Event const& e, FSM&,int state)
        {
            std::cout << "no transition from state " << state
                << " on event " << typeid(e).name() << std::endl;
        }
    
        typedef msm::back::state_machine<player_> player;
    
        //
        // Testing utilities.
       //
       static char const* const state_names[] = { "Empty", "Playing" };
    
        void pstate(player const& p)
       {
           std::cout << " -> " << state_names[p.current_state()[0]] << std::endl;
       }
    };
    
    }
    
    int main()
    {
        test_fsm::player p2;
        p2.start();
        p2.process_event(test_fsm::play());
        p2.process_event(test_fsm::stop()); 
        return 0;
    }
    
    

    It compiles, but produces unexpected output:

    entering: Empty
    no transition from state 0 on event N8test_fsm4playE
    no transition from state 0 on event N8test_fsm4stopE
    
    

    While - with original version (just replacing mp11::mp_list with mpl::vector) it works as expected:

    entering: Empty
    leaving: Empty
    entering: Playing
    leaving: Playing
    entering: Empty
    
    

    It also works as expected with boost::fusion::vector.

    I found one workaround - when using type-alias for defining transition table it works as expected:

        using transition_table = boost::mp11::mp_list<
                _row < Empty , play        , Playing       >,
                _row < Playing , stop        , Empty       >
        > ;
    
    

    With type-alias it also works for other types boost::mpl::vector and boost::fustion::vector.

    I am not sure what this inheritance is for, but all examples from boost::msm defines this transition tables that way.

    The problem with boost::mp11::mp_list is probably here <boost/mp11/mpl.hpp> - but I am not sure that.

    I asked the question about that on SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68195912/boostmp11mp-list-cant-define-proper-transition-table-for-fsm-based-on-boost - but not get much attention.

    Requesting tuple_match_apply

    First sorry for the ugly name, I could not think of anything better. I know mp11 is mostly a lib for nice manipulation of lists, but one feature that really worked great for me is the tuple_for_each.

    I used it to implement nice(IMHO) dispatching on runtime value. "Problem" is that it is not optimally efficient since I am doing an equivalent of many ifs, instead of a switch or if else. Code example with basic idea is here(code is missing propagation of return value of the lambda, ignores alignment... but I hope general idea is clear).

    https://godbolt.org/z/1TscGs

    I have no idea what is the proper way to handle default case, I would suspect that there could be a tag type, but in my use I do not really need it since I cover all cases, so hard for me to judge if it would be a good addition.
