Lavavej Smiley

Advanced STL covers the gory details of the STL's implementation -> you will therefore need to be versed in the basics of STL, competent in C++ (of course), and be able to pay attention! Stephan is a great teacher and we are so happy to have him on Channel 9—the only place you'll find this level of technical detail regarding the internals of the STL. There are no books. There are no websites. This is Stephan taking us into what is uncharted territory for most, even those with a more advanced STL skill set.

This is a very special episode—it was driven by you!

In Part 5, Niner KerrekSB commented that a great topic for this advanced series would be developing a generic mechanism for printing out STL containers (like a vector of ints). Then Sven Groot helped out with his usual brilliance. I love this Niner interaction!

You got STL to lecture on this stuff! That is HUGE Smiley

In fact, STL was so impressed that he decided to try it out himself and see how generic he could make it. He uses only those STL features available in VC10 SP1 (for example, variadic templates are not used in his solution because the feature is not implemented in VC 2010 SP1...).

What did Stephan come up with? Get STL's PrettyPrinter implementation, then watch this great episode to learn the details behind the code. Thanks STL, KerrekSB, and Sven Groot for an excellent exercise!

In the first part of this n-part series, Stephan digs deeply into shared_ptr. As you already know (since you will have the perquisites in place in your mind before watching this—remember, watch the intro series first), shared_ptr is a wrapper of sorts: it wraps a reference-counted smart pointer around a dynamically allocated object. shared_ptr is a template class (almost everything in the STL is a template, thus the name...) that describes an object (int, string, vector, etc.) that uses reference counting to manage resources. A shared_ptr object effectively either holds a pointer to the resource that it owns or holds a null pointer. A resource can be owned by more than one shared_ptr object, and when the last shared_ptr object that owns a particular resource is destroyed, the resource is freed.

You will also learn a lot about the beauty and the weirdness inside the STL. You should take Stephan's wisdom to heart and see if you can implement some of the patterns he shares with you in your own code, and you should of course take his advice about what NOT to do in your native compositions.

This is lecture 5 in his C9 Lecture series  covering advanced functional programming topics. Welcome back, Ralf! We're so happy to have you here!

Why bananas, Ralf?

Banana is functional programming slang for "fold"—an application of the catamorphic recursion scheme most widely known in the higher-order list processing tradition of Bird-Meertens Formalism and the Squiggol community. Erik Meijer used to be known as the "banana man" because of his early research on the subject; he also co-authored the seminal paper with theoretical (categorical) foundations on the subject. Incidentally, the paper used the notation of so-called "banana brackets" (instead of using the plain string "foldr"), which sort of explains why we sometimes say bananas. There is no shortage of crazy paper titles on the subject, by the way: "Functional Programming with Bananas, Lenses, Envelopes, and Barbed Wire," "Bananas in Space: ...," "Dealing with large bananas," "Boxes go bananas: ...," "See more through lenses than bananas," etc.

More to the point, foldr is the Swiss Army Knife in functional programming. Monoidal reductions of lists or mapping over lists and many other list-processing idioms can be modeled with the regular recursion operator foldr. Even a beginning lecture on functional programming would have to discuss foldr. Not discussing foldr in a Haskell course, however, is like not discussing for loops in a C# course. Indeed, the lectures on Graham Hutton's introductory Haskell course covered the basics of foldr very well. However, a lot more interesting stuff concerning folds or, say, bananas becomes apparent when one becomes fluent in functional programming. For instance, foldr and friends suddenly make sense for container types other than the concrete list type. Foldr and friends even generalize to arbitrary algebraic datatypes in different ways. The combination of folds and monoids also helps us understand key aspects of parallel data processing. These are the more advanced banana subjects that are covered by Ralf Lämmel's lecture this time. He has also contributed a stack of bananas papers over the years, and he draws from that interest.
