* Started to add fancy pointer support to the sparse array class and a lot of tests to ensure that nothing is broken. * Fixxed a bug in the move construction test. * Started to work on sparse_hash * Some more changes for the iterators. * Ported the set tests to work with maps. I could have generalized the tests even more to reduce code duplication, however the tests are already complicated enough. * Integrated boost::to_address directly into the code. * A bit of tidy up. Now the fancy pointer tests are integrated into the "normal" test suit and can be compiled with C++-11. * added test for value() with fancy pointer * added missing const * Fixxed a bug in the OffsetAllocator, also did some work on erase. * added Remove_Const struct for overloading const_cast with @LukasKerk * Added the "const_cast" for boost offset pointers in its own header. * Fixed a typo in a test output. * Corrected comments. Co-authored-by: Alexander Bigerl <[email protected]>
* Initial commit. First few tests, found one problem. * Now scoped allocators can be used. However emplace still does not work as it should. * Some cleanup. * Formatting and removing comments.

changed the title
BOOST_TEST_REQUIRE seems to be a pretty recent addition to the boost unittest framework. It is now replaced by BOOST_REQUIRE

Thank you very much for your contribution. I have to dig more into it but I'm a bit wary of the size of the change and maintenance burden for something that is interesting but quite niche. Would it be eventually be possible to just adapt |
* reverted whitespace changes * added typename for sparse_hash::value_type/const_pointer

Sorry for the many commits. A few of the CI problems were a bit tricky to find. |

This pull request adds support for scoped_allocator_adaptor and allocators with fancy pointers like boost offset pointers.
With these additions, it is now possible to persist the sparse_set and sparse_map via boost's interprocess. When using a stable hash function, an allocator that operates on memory mapped files can be used to store a populated sparse-hash map or set between program executions.
The scoped_allocator_adaptor is needed for nested containers. Take a set of sets of integers as an example. Before it wasn't possible to give the inner sets their own custom allocator or to give a single allocator to all sets.
