The vector_max_size_workaround() we had in place, and one of the test
cases, only considered std::vectors, which are no longer the only
allowed containers. This commit fixes "Allow choosing the underlying
container type".
We were using `AllocatorOrContainer` as if it were still guaranteed to
be an allocator type. Unfortunately, the append() tests didn't exercise
input iterators, so this went unnoticed. I've now added tests.
The user can now choose the underlying container type used by
dynamic_bitset. This allows e.g. having small buffer optimization by
using boost::container::small_vector.
Since the underlying container is no longer guaranteed to be
std::vector, we revert "Reflect some noexcept specifications of
std::vector in dynamic_bitset" and the related "Let MrDocs compile the
code as C++17".
Note that we didn't add serialization tests (dyn_bitset_unit_tests5.cpp)
because boost::container::small_vector has no serialization support.
This closes issue #76.
This commit:
- Sorts the #include directives: The #includes of the ""-form come
first, those of the <>-form come later (this helps checking if any
include file is not self-sufficient); in each of the two groups, the
names of the headers or source files are sorted alphabetically (this
eases searching for a specific #include and avoids duplicates).
- Uses the ""-form when including Boost files; using the <>-form is a
relic of the past. This was even discussed on the developers list many
years ago and led to core issue 370. Note that some parts of
DynamicBitset were already using the ""-form and that has never caused
any problem, AFAIK.
- Removes some comments attached to the directives themselves which
seemed pretty useless and prone to get out of sync.
Reason: When I re-implemented dynamic_bitset, GCC 2.95 was still around
and its library still only implemented pre-standard iostreams, so I
added that support. But I'm pretty sure no one needs it, now.
* Add set(pos, len) function to change sequences
* Add reset(pos, len) function to clear sequences
* Add flip(pos, len) function to flip sequences
* Add custom range operations
