AlexStocks/muduo is a fork of chenshuo/muduo. Any issue or pr is welcome.

DOC

Muduo is based on boost which is a large monst lib. And muduo also use cmake to build & link. This branch just has two targets:

• 1 use C++11 instead of boost;
• 2 use makefile instead of cmake.

Regulations of using C++11 instead of boost

• 1 boost::shared_ptr -> std::shared_ptr;
• 2 boost::weak_ptr -> std::weak_ptr;
• 3 boost::scoped_ptr -> std::unique_ptr; Pls attention that unique_ptr does not have unique_ptr::release method，its inner class object will live as long as the program.
• 4 get_pointer(unique_ptr) -> unique_ptr.get()；
• 5 boost::ptr_vector -> std::vector<std::unique_ptr>；
• 6 boost::ptr_vector(size) --> std::vector<std::unique_ptr>(size); The above symbol "-->" means "not equals to". boost::ptr_vector::ptr_vector(size). The "ptr_vector(size_type to_reserve)" just constructs an empty vector with a buffer of size least to_reserve. While std::vector<std::unique_ptr>(v_size) Constructs a container with a buffer of size "v_size" and fill each element of this container with object of type std::unique_ptr(code example:muduo/base/ests/BlockingQueue_bench.cc和muduo/base/ests/BlockingQueue_test.cc).
• 7 boost::ptr_vector::pop_back -> std::vector<std::unique_ptr>::back + std::vector<std::unique_ptr>::pop_back; Pls attention that the return value of boost::ptr_vector::pop_back is its last element while the return value of std::vector::pop_back is void.
• 8 new T + boost::ptr_vector::push_back -> std::vector<std::unique_ptr>::push_bck(new T); Pls attention that std::unique_ptr does not support copy construct and assignment operator. So I complete std::vector::push_back task just in one step to create a new class object and assign this new object to a std::unique_ptr object(code example:EventLoopThreadPool.ccmuduo/net/EventLoopThreadPool.cc line45-line50).
• 9 boost::bind-> std::bind; Pls attention that the function that std::bind use should be C-style function of C++ class static funtion(code example:muduo/net/TcpConnection.cc line110 & line131).
• 10 boost::any-> cdiggins::any(muduo/other/any.h)
• 11 boost::noncopyable -> muduo::noncopyable(muduo/base/noncopyable.h)
• 12 add offsetof macro in muduo/net/InetAddress.cc
