Come to think of it I honestly can't say whether there ever was one or not, but I don't see one myself. I'm the admin though so it makes little sense for me to have one :P In any case the spam post has been dealt with, including sending it to Akismet for processing. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=24100#p24100 Thu, 3 Aug 2023 23:08:50 CDT General Discussions nobody@example.com (Samson) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=24099#p24099 Good to see that link spammers are still at it. Am I missing something or is there literally no way to report spammers on this forum now? :facepalm: https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=24099#p24099 Sun, 30 Jul 2023 21:10:49 CDT General Discussions nobody@example.com (GatewaySysop) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=19916#p19916 Yes, I'm referring to more methods on the bitvector class, and indeed even encoding the flagarray as one of the template parameters to the bitvector type. So it would be something like: [code] // declare the type typedef bitset<123, mobflag_names> mob_flag_set; // create an object of this type mob_flag_set myMobFlags; // set a flag by name myMobFlags.set("guardian"); [/code] https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=19916#p19916 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 02:29:16 CST General Discussions nobody@example.com (David Haley) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=19915#p19915 [quote=David Haley]I haven't looked at the one in AFKMud[/quote] I'm talking about this template: [code]template < size_t N > char *bitset_string( bitset < N > bits, const char *flagarray[] ) { static char buf[MSL]; size_t x; buf[0] = '\0'; for( x = 0; x < bits.size( ); ++x ) { if( bits.test( x ) ) { mudstrlcat( buf, flagarray[x], MSL ); // don't catenate a blank if the last char is blank --Gorog if( buf[0] != '\0' && ' ' https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=19915#p19915 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 23:48:09 CST General Discussions nobody@example.com (Samson) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=19899#p19899 link should be working now https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=19899#p19899 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 01:57:35 CST General Discussions nobody@example.com (kiasyn) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=19888#p19888 I haven't looked at the one in AFKMud, but I was thinking something along the lines of being able to set flags [i]on the bitvector[/i] by name [i]or[/i] by number. It would also make stringification easier, by returning a vector of strings that are set that the caller can then join as appropriate (using commas, spaces, whatever). The general idea is to encode the size and the associated strings with the template. A nice consequence of this is that bitvectors of the same size but different flag n https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=19888#p19888 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:26:40 CST General Discussions nobody@example.com (David Haley) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=19887#p19887 How exactly is "automatic string conversion" being defined? A template that does what flag_string does? If so, the one in AFKMud would suit this just fine. I can't see memory usage being a deciding factor. Especially since I've not seen any indication in my own experience that std::bitset is any more or less of a memory hog than anything else. I think you're going to find that just including the STL in general is what's doing most of the memory hogging. You'll get that with std::string or std https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=19887#p19887 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:17:46 CST General Discussions nobody@example.com (Samson) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=19882#p19882 After working in depth with std::bitset. It won't be used in these bases without a serious examination as to whether it's pros outweigh it's cons. It definitely leaves a little to be desired, as David Said, automatic string conversion would be nice. But it also appears to use more memory then an extended bitvector. Might talk more later, defending human colonies in Mass Effect 2 right now... Oh, and drooling. Lots of drooling. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=19882#p19882 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 15:36:39 CST General Discussions nobody@example.com (InfiniteAxis) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=19876#p19876 I would think so, yes. It's an encapsulation of a bit vector that is created with arbitrary size. If you want a topical example of writing "OOP" in C, by the way, I uploaded a [url=http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=files&s=viewfile&fid=2640]C implementation of arbitrary sized bitvectors[/url] to MudBytes a while ago. I'll mention again that I really don't think that std::bitset on its own is an appropriate solution; it's missing a few awfully nice features like automatic string conversio https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=19876#p19876 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 14:33:41 CST General Discussions nobody@example.com (David Haley) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=19874#p19874 Is std::bitset something a C++ nub like me could figure out pretty easily? https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/direction-4258/&p=19874#p19874 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 13:46:31 CST General Discussions nobody@example.com (Keirath)
