- Allow specializing models_impl with a forward declaration only
- Modularize remaining concept headers
- Include <boost/hana.hpp> in unit tests to ease the transition
- Add the core/dispatch.hpp header to reduce the number of boilerplate includes
- Fix ambiguous specialization in core/datatype
- [Config] Turn #errors into #warnings
- Qualify recursive calls to `apply` to make sure the right function is selected
- Remove usages of when_valid to workaround ambiguous specializations
- Use multiline comments to remove some GCC warnings with LaTeX's double backslash
- Specialize operators::of in the boost::hana::operators namespace
- Manually perform more conversions in constexpr-context
- Workaround the lack of support for constexpr-but-non-const member functions
- Disambiguate unqualified uses of size_t with hana::size_t and ::size_t
This is because using variable templates limits the objects to being
constexpr, or to not being constexpr (but then initializing the object
becomes an issue).
This is also a step towards being compilable by GCC 4.9, but that only
would not justify the change.
This essentially undo parts of 307d3d0. While it seemed a like good
idea to over-modularize type classes to reduce header dependencies, I
think it was a mistake. What 307d3d0 did was basically split each of
the components of a type class into a single header (typeclass/operators.hpp,
typeclass/mcd_1.hpp, typeclass/mcd_2.hpp, ...).
At first, it resolved many weird header dependency glitches. However, it
also made everything more complex; creating even easy type classes was
sometimes much longer than it should have been, and using type classes
was tricky because you had to know exactly what to include. It also went
against the idea of implicit type class instances being provided whenever
that's possible, which I think is a nice feature of the library. Being
dissatisfied with this, I opted for a simpler header organization with
a fwd/ directory that contains forward declaration headers, and everything
else in the same directory.
A possible objection to this change would be that you are now forced
to include sometimes more than what you strictly need when e.g. defining
an instance or using only some instance(s) of a data type. My answer to
this is that Hana is a really small library and the parsing is not
going to have a huge impact on overall compilation time. My bet is that
the time that will be saved by programmers with a simple header hierarchy
outweights the parsing time by far.
