Accumulators: An Awesome Library From Boost for C++

Preface

“It is better to be approximately right than exactly wrong.”
-- Old adage

Description

Boost.Accumulators is both a library for incremental statistical computation as well as an extensible framework for incremental calculation in general. The library deals primarily with the concept of an accumulator, which is a primitive computational entity that accepts data one sample at a time and maintains some internal state. These accumulators may offload some of their computations on other accumulators, on which they depend. Accumulators are grouped within an accumulator set. Boost.Accumulators resolves the inter-dependencies between accumulators in a set and ensures that accumulators are processed in the proper order.

How to Run C/C++ in Sublime Text?

C and C++ are the most powerful programming language in the world. Most of the super fast and complex libraries and algorithms are written in C or C++. Most powerful Kernel programs are also written in C. So, there is no way to skip it.

In programming competitions, most programmers prefer to write code in C or C++. Tourist is considered the worlds top programming contestant of all ages who write code in C++.

During programming competitions, programmers prefer to use a lightweight editor to focus on coding and algorithm designing. Vim, Sublime Text, and Notepad++ are the most common editors for us. Apart from the competition, many software developers and professionals love to use Sublime Text just because of its flexibility.

I have discussed the steps we need to complete in this blog post before running a C/C++ code in Sublime Text. We will take the inputs from an input file and print outputs to an output file without using freopen file related functions in C/C++.

Dicey Issues in C/C++

If you are familiar with C/C++then you must have come across some unusual things and if you haven’t, then you are about to. The below codes are checked twice before adding, so feel free to share this article with your friends. The following displays some of the issues:

1. Using multiple variables in the print function
2. Comparing Signed integer with unsigned integer
3. Putting a semicolon at the end of the loop statement
4. C preprocessor doesn’t need a semicolon
5. Size of the string matters
6. Macros and equations aren’t good friends
7. Never compare Floating data type with double data type
8. Arrays have a boundary
9. Character constants are different from string literals
10. Difference between single(=) and double(==) equal signs.

The below code generates no error since a print function can take any number of inputs but creates a mismatch with the variables. The print function is used to display characters, strings, integers, float, octal, and hexadecimal values onto the output screen. The format specifier is used to display the value of a variable.

1. %d indicates Integer Format Specifier
2. %f indicates Float Format Specifier
3. %c indicates Character Format Specifier
4. %s indicates String Format Specifier
5. %u indicates Unsigned Integer Format Specifier
6. %ld indicates Long Int Format Specifier

A signed integer is a 32-bit datum that encodes an integer in the range [-2147483648 to 2147483647]. An unsigned integer is a 32-bit datum that encodes a non-negative integer in the range [0 to 4294967295]. The signed integer is represented in twos-complement notation. In the below code the signed integer will be converted to the maximum unsigned integer then compared with the unsigned integer.

Introduction

Boost.GIL is a part of the Boost C++ Libraries.

The Boost Generic Image Library (GIL) is a C++14 header-only library that abstracts image representations from algorithms and allows writing code that can work on a variety of images with performance similar to hand-writing for a specific image type.

Documentation

• Latest release
• Branch master (latest release with minor changes)
• Branch develop

See RELEASES.md for release notes.

See CONTRIBUTING.md for instructions about how to build and run tests and examples using Boost.Build or CMake.

See example/README.md for GIL usage examples.

See example/b2/README.md for Boost.Build configuration examples.

See example/cmake/README.md for CMake configuration examples.

Requirements

The Boost Generic Image Library (GIL) requires:

• C++14 compiler (GCC 6, clang 3.9, MSVC++ 14.1 (1910) or any later version)
• Boost header-only libraries

Optionally, in order to build and run tests and examples:

• Boost.Filesystem
• Boost.Test
• Headers and libraries of libjpeg, libpng, libtiff, libraw for the I/O extension and some of examples.

Branches

The official repository contains the following branches:

master This holds the most recent snapshot with code that is known to be stable.

develop This holds the most recent snapshot. It may contain unstable code.

Community

There is number of communication channels to ask questions and discuss Boost.GIL issues:

• GitHub Discussions
• Mailing lists (Boost discussion policy)
  • boost-gil (recommended) official Boost.GIL mailing list (archive)
  • boost-users for all Boost users
  • boost for all Boost developers
• Slack at cpplang.slack.com with Boost channels:
  • #boost-gil (recommended) official Boost.GIL channel
  • #boost-user for all Boost users
  • #boost for all Boost developers
• Gitter room boostorg/gil (old real-time chat space)
• You can also ask questions via GitHub issue.

Contributing (We Need Your Help!)

If you would like to contribute to Boost.GIL, help us improve the library and maintain high quality, there is number of ways to do it.

If you would like to test the library, contribute new feature or a bug fix, see the CONTRIBUTING.md where the whole development infrastructure and the contributing workflow is explained in details.

You may consider performing code reviews on active pull requests or help with solving reported issues, especially those labelled with:

• status/need-help
• status/need-feedback
• need-minimal-example

Any feedback from users and developers, even simple questions about how things work or why they were done a certain way, carries value and can be used to improve the library.

C# Source Generators to boost performance in .NET 5

A new C# compiler feature that inspects code and generates additional source files promises to improve performance in a number of scenarios.

Microsoft has introduced a preview of a C# compiler capability called Source Generators that can inspect a program and generate source files that can be added to a compilation. Microsoft says Source Generators can improve performance in a number of scenarios.

Introduced April 29, a Source Generator is a piece of code (a .NET Standard 2.0 assembly) that runs during compilation and can inspect a program to produce additional files that are compiled together with the rest of the code.
