Although empty makes sense, how could we be sure that starting and ending at zero is the best choice? |
In this PR's implementation, it seems that the defaults of I'm not sure if it makes sense to implement default on ranges that have bounds only at either the start or end. EDIT: fixed wrong comment, defaults of EDIT2: this is only for unsigned integer (#73197 (comment)) |
Not sure if it is possible to have optioned implementations because the implications and semantics will vary depending on the |

I don't think |
There are four listed use-cases and I personally have a trait IMHO, these implementations have no side-effects. |
The listed use cases don't suggest obvious defaults (at least to me). Do you have a case that's less cut down (i.e., a real world example)? I don't think empty ranges are obviously "default" to me. |
ImplementationA default instance is, in my option, an independent constant value and if the listed examples are starting and ending as zero, it is because their // For whatever reason, <Range<u32> as Default>::default() = 0..u32::MAX is a good default
impl Default for Range<u32> { fn default() -> Self { 0..u32::MAX } }
// Problem: There isn't a Range implementation for arbitrary types
#[derive(Default)]
struct FancyDecimalType;
#[derive(Default)]
struct UserTypeWithRange(Range<FancyDecimalType>); // error!
// Because: Generic implementation will conflict with <Range<u32> as Default>
impl<T: Default> Default for Range<T> { fn default() -> Self { Default::default()..Default::default() } } // error! // Bound constraints suffer the same problem, suppose an imaginary std Number trait that has `min()` and `max()`
impl<T: Number> Default for Range<T> { fn default() -> Self { T::min()..T::max() } }
// As a consequence, it also won't be possible to have a generic implementation for Range<T> As previously said, a generic Use-caseIf all given explanations weren't enough, then I will try to explain a hopefully "real-world" use-case: I have a project that solves nondeterministic polynomial problems which is basically composed of // Just a simplification. The real code were made using declarative macros and num

where

{
fn default() -> Self {
Self(T::default()..T::default())
} This effect can be minimized by other means but like the subtitle says, it is just an additional use-case that hopefully can be interpreted as a more "real-world" example. |

I am skeptical of some of these too. I am definitely on board with the impl for RangeFull. I am also on board with an impl for Range, which does the equivalent of default()..default()
. I think I would prefer to leave out the rest of the impls: RangeFrom, RangeTo, RangeInclusive, RangeToInclusive.
As previously said, "empty" ranges are just a consequence of a generic Regarding on what is a "good" default, I can say IMHO that it will vary from person to person. |
@rfcbot concern let's not do for RangeFrom, RangeTo, RangeInclusive, RangeToInclusive Per #73197 (review). |

Since Vec defaults to an empty Vec, isn't it only logical that Range would default to en empty Range? I personally think it is often convenient to have default implemented for as many types as possible. For instance, it allows resize on a Vec. Default is needed even if the vector is only ever shrunk in practice. |
Let say it is: then wouldn't it also be "only logical" that the other kinds of And the other kind of

All good points! I think I overstated things when I said "only logical". I think it's not "obvious" that the Range types should implement Default. But I still think it would be useful, and not that much more surprising than Vec or u32 implementing Default.
Ah, I didn't know about truncate! My use case was I had a program which processed lots of data in parallel in many threads. It could use a thread pool of N threads. The program had a Vec<T> of length N for scratch data. Each worker thread needed to use some memory for its processing, and this scratch data was stored in the Vec. If the number of worker threads was changed, the Vec needed to be resized. I wanted to automatically resize the Vec to the correct number, and required T:Default so there was value to use for any new elements. If type T anywhere contained a Range, it would be inconvenient because it couldn't as easily implement Default in that case. Reading what I wrote I realize that my argument isn't super-convincing, but I at least wished that Default was implemented for all types where it can be argued that one value is more default than any other value. Such as the u32 0, the empty Vec, and conceivably, the range 0..0 . |

Pkgsrc changes: * Remove patches now integrated upstream, many related to SunOS / Illumos. * The LLVM fix for powerpc is also now integrated upstream. * Adapt those patches where the source has moved or parts are integrated. * The randomness patches no longer applies, and I could not find where those files went... * Provide a separate bootstrap for NetBSD/powerpc 9.0, since apparently the C++ ABI is different from 8.0. Yes, this appears to be specific to the NetBSD powerpc ports.
