AnotherTest	e55d227f93	AK: Provide traits for DistinctNumeric<T>	2021-01-28 17:35:41 +01:00
Lenny Maiorani	f5ced347e6	AK: Prefer using instead of typedef ... Problem: - `typedef` is a keyword which comes from C and carries with it old syntax that is hard to read. - Creating type aliases with the `using` keyword allows for easier future maintenance because it supports template syntax. - There is inconsistent use of `typedef` vs `using`. Solution: - Use `clang-tidy`'s checker called `modernize-use-using` to update the syntax to use the newer syntax. - Remove unused functions to make `clang-tidy` happy. - This results in consistency within the codebase.	2020-11-12 10:19:04 +01:00
Ben Wiederhake	a6314f2ce6	AK: Fix description of DistinctNumeric around operator bool	2020-08-22 17:18:14 +02:00
Ben Wiederhake	cc6d5242d1	AK: Implement and test DistinctNumeric class ... This template class allows for easy generation of incompatible numeric types. This is useful whenever code has to handle heterogenous data (like meters and seconds) but the underlying data types are compatible (like int and int). The motivation comes from the Kernel's inconsistent use of pid_t for process and thread IDs even though the ID spaces are incompatible, and translating forth/back is nontrivial. Other uses could be units (as described above), or incompatible index systems. A popular use in real life is image manipulation, when there are multiple coordinate systems.	2020-08-10 11:51:45 +02:00
