[xsd-users] Plans f or C++11?

[Ray Lischner]

What are your plans for C++11?

Currently, Code Synthesis 3.3 has a number of features that can be used to reduce the amount of copying, such as using auto_ptr<> for required, non-fundamental data members, which would probably be better off taking advantage of move semantics.

That is, if an element has cardinality one, don't use a pointer to store it, and don't take an auto_ptr<> argument in the constructor. Instead, take an object by value, and move it into the data member. The root-element construction functions should return objects by value, so they can be moved to their destination. Etc., etc., etc.

I realize this is a significant change to the way Code Synthesis works now, and you would need to support C++03 and C++11 in the same product, but I think the performance gains could be significant.
