...oh my.
This is getting messy. I am way into danger territory now....
I've made a nifty cool design with automatically adapted functors;
yet at the end of the day, this does not bode well with a DSL usage,
where objects appear to be simple values from a users point of view.
- Helper function to find out of two objects are located
"close to each other" -- which can be used as heuristics
to distinguish heap vs. stack storage
- further investigation shows that libstdc++ applies the
small-object optimisation for functor up to »two slots«
in size -- but only if the copy-ctor is trivial. Thus
a lambda capturing a shared_ptr by value will *always*
be maintained in heap storage (and LazyInit must be
redesigned accordingly)...
- the verify_inlineStorage() unit test will now trigger
if some implementation does not apply small-object optimisation
under these minimal assumptions
the RandomDraw rules developed last days are meant to be used
with user-provided λ-adapters; employing these in a context
of a DSL runs danger of producing dangling references.
Attempting to resolve this fundamental problem through
late-initialisation, and then locking the component into
a fixed memory location prior to actual usage. Driven by
the goal of a self-contained component, some advanced
trickery is required -- which again indicates better
to write a library component with adequate test coverage.
