Large or huge sets

(1/15) > >>

Thaddy:
Large or huge sets are often requested. Just today I needed one. Wrote it in ten minutes, but maybe useful?
If the critics are not too harsh, I will add it to to the wiki.
Note it can be written *way* more efficient.

marcov:
The problem is that useset is the same as for TBits.

The problem with the set 256 limit is that you have a enum (as in, with identifier names) that suddenly grows beyond 256, and you have to redo your program.  Specially when the enum set tests are used in business code that hurts.

So try if your solution also works for a large enum.

And a demo to test (how would code look?) would be nice. E.g. will my IN operator tests remain the same?

Ñuño_Martínez:
Not sure but I think that some operators don't work as expected.  I mean, operator + shouldn't be like this?

Note: Never used generics.collections and I didn't look for information about it, so my code would be so wrong... :-[

Also: I'm not a big fan of operators overloading using classes for obvious reasons (i.e: I expect that the result of a + b is a new object, not to modify one of the operands).

That works.  Becase it avoids the size of enums.  work in progress.

You would be amazed. This code is not fastest, but satisfies most tests.
You are wrong about the new object: that would cause leaks, and I tested against leaks.

Anyway, it is rough and probably needs refinement.

Thanks for the response, both.
