ENH: defaulting for destructors where possible
STYLE: clear() instead of setSize(0) for plain Lists
STYLE: use bool operator instead of valid()/empty() for autoPtr tests
- less clutter and typing to use the default template parameter when
the key is 'word' anyhow.
- use EdgeMap instead of the longhand HashTable version where
appropriate
- OSspecific: chmod() -> chMod(), even although it's not used anywhere
- ListOps get subset() and inplaceSubset() templated on BoolListType
- added UList<bool>::operator[](..) const specialization.
Returns false (actually pTraits<bool>::zero) for out-of-range elements.
This lets us use List<bool> with lazy evaluation and no noticeable
change in performance.
- use rcIndex() and fcIndex() wherever possible.
Could check if branching or modulus is faster for fcIndex().
- UList and FixedList get 'const T* cdata() const' and 'T* data()' members.
Similar to the STL front() and std::string::data() methods, they return a
pointer to the first element without needing to write '&myList[0]', recast
begin() or violate const-ness.
- can use 'XX.empty()' instead of 'XX.size() == 0', 'XX.size() < 1' or
'XX.size() <= 0' or for simpler coding.
It also has the same number of characters as '!XX.size()' and /might/ be
more readable
- many size checking had 'XX.size() > 0', 'XX.size() != 0', or 'XX.size() >= 1'
when a simple 'XX.size()' suffices
