This shall generate best possible precision (if strtod() is correctly
implemented). Need more unit tests and performance tests. May add an
option for accepting precision error. Otherwise LUT in Pow10() can be
reduced.
The `ShortString` can represent zero-terminated strings up to `MaxSize` chars (excluding the terminating zero) and store a value to determine the length of the contained string in the last character `str[LenPos]` by storing `MaxSize - length` there. If the string to store has the maximal length of `MaxSize` (excluding the terminating zero) then `str[LenPos]` will store `0` and therefore act as the string terminator as well. For getting the string length back from that value just use `MaxSize - str[LenPos]`.
This allows to store `11`-chars strings in 32-bit mode and `15`-chars strings in 64-bit mode inline (for `UTF8`-encoded strings).
Since the payload (the `Data` union) of the current implementation of `GenericValue` is `12 bytes` (32 bit) or `16 bytes` (64 bit) it could store `UTF8`-encoded strings up to `10` or `14` chars plus the `terminating zero` character plus the string length:
``` C++
struct ShortString {
enum { MaxSize = sizeof(GenericValue::String) / sizeof(Ch) - sizeof(unsigned char) };
Ch str[MaxSize];
unsigned char length;
}; // at most as many bytes as "String" above => 12 bytes in 32-bit mode, 16 bytes in 64-bit mode
```
This is achieved by introducing additional `kInlineStrFlag` and `kShortStringFlag` flags. When setting a new string value in `SetStringRaw(s, alloc)` it is first checked if the string is short enough to fit into the `inline string buffer` and if so the given source string will be copied into the new `ShortString` target instead of allocating additional memory for it.
As mentioned by @kosta-github in http://git.io/0gkYSg, the currently
used growth factor of 2 is suboptimal for memory performance. An
extensive discussion can be found at [1].
This patch reduces the array/object capacity growth factor to 1.5, as
many C++ implementations have chosen to use. In order to avoid
floating-point arithmetics for computing the new capacity, I did not
add any customization parameter for the factor and used a shift+add
instead.

Some 64-bit integers cannot be represented losslessly as a double.
Due to a typo in the operator==, the comparison has been performed
after a double conversion in too many cases.
Added basic detection of `noexcept` support for some compilers, added
corresponding RAPIDJSON_NOEXCEPT annotations to
* non-allocating constructors
* (move) assignment
* Swap
This commit adds an IsGenericValue meta function to match arbitrary
instantiations of the GenericValue template (or derived classes).
This meta function is used in the SFINAE-checks to avoid matching
the generic APIs (operator=,==,!=; AddMember, PushBack) for instances
of the main template. This avoids ambiguities with the GenericValue
overloads.
Several GenericValue functions take a const-reference to another GenericValue
only. These functions can safely accept values with a different allocator
type.
The following functions are therefore extended by a SourceAllocator template
parameter in this commit:
- operator==/!=/[]
- HasMember, FindMember, RemoveMember
- StringEqual
Before applying the simplifications in ed282b814, the SFINAE check for the
GenericValue(bool) constructor has been broken in MSVC 2005. Add a static
assert as a safe-guard against future reappearance of this problem.
In order to match GenericValue and its derived classes for the
SFINAE-implementation of some of the operators/functions, this
meta-function matches all types equal to or derived from a given
class. See std::is_base_of<B,D> available in C++11.
Define RAPIDJSON_HAS_CXX_TYPETRAITS to use the C++11 implementation.
Some (older) compilers have problems with compile-time constants.
This commit simplifies the implementation of the helper classes
in order to improve compiler support, especially be removing the
need of partial template specialisation.
No functional changes.
As reported in #113, recent versions of Clang complain about
ambiguous overloads for some comparison operator instantiations,
especially if the deduced template type is a GenericValue.
Add an explicit, non-templated version for now (which is a better
match).
This only solves part of the problem, as comparisons between
* GenericValue & GenericDocument
* GenericValue with different SourceAllocator types
will still cause ambiguities.
Some users may want to use RapidJSON with std::string objects. This commits
adds an (opt-in) feature to include some basic support. The implementation
uses std::basic_string<Ch> as generic string type.
Support currently covers:
* construction
* comparison
No special APIs for AddMember or PushBack have been added, as std::string
most probably requires copying (or an explicit StringRef() call).
By restructuring the call forwarding of the various operator== and
operator!= overloads, new overloads can be added by simply adding an
additional member operator==.
Additionally, the "Ch*" overloads are dropped in favour of an SFINAE
version that removes the pointer variants from matching the templated
operator== (see also operator=).
