IMP::compatibility Namespace Reference

Detailed Description

This module tries to smooth over the variations in platforms.

The functionality exposed in this module is there to smooth over differences in C++ environments on various platforms. It includes classes that select the best available implementation of some concept

• IMP::compatibility::map
• IMP::compatibility::set

or headers that simply make sure the correct header is included

• IMP/compatibility/vector_property_map.h
• IMP/compatibility/hash.h

Typedef Documentation

typedef std::vector IMP::compatibility::vector

This class defines a std::vector-like template that, when available and IMP is not built in fast mode, performs bounds checking. In general IMP code should prefer this vector to std::vector for internal storage.

Currently, bounds checking is provided when compiling with gcc.

Function Documentation

template<class T >

bool IMP::compatibility::isnan

(

const T &

a

)

Return true if a number is NaN.

With certain compiler settings the compiler can optimize out a!=a (and certain intel chips had issues with it too).
