paper | Python align paired-end reads

In practical terms, this is about garbage collection.

Linear logic avoids making copies as well as leaving unused values lying around. So when you create an array with new, you also need to make sure it's eventually cleaned up again.

How can you make sure it is cleaned up? Well, in this example they do it by not giving back the array as the result, but instead “lending” it to the caller. The function Arr ⊸ Arr ⊗ X must give an array back in the end, in addition to the result you're actually interested in. It's assumed that this will be a modified form of the array you started out with. Only the X is passed back to the caller, the Arr is deallocated.

Welcome @Backup Gov18,

This is a documented issue.

Note: Only one active BarCodeScanner preview is supported currently. When using navigation, the best practice is to unmount any previously rendered BarCodeScanner component so the following screens can use without issues.

There is a workaround.

Instead of conditionally rendering the component, you could render it inside another dedicated screen component.

This way, after this new screen reads the barcode, you could navigate back to your first screen. Navigating back may unmount this new screen. You can force unmount if you need to.

As you are using react-navigation, you had better use .pop() instead of goBack().

You can also use expo-camera instead of expo-barcode-scanner. expo-camera does not have this issue. It also offers more options like flashlight/torch and switching cameras.

Allocation elision is an optimization that is outside of and in addition to the as-if rule. Another optimization with the same properties is copy elision (not to be confused with mandatory elision, since C++17): Is it legal to elide a non-trivial copy/move constructor in initialization?.

Here's my current understanding, which could be incomplete or incorrect. A verification would be appreciated.

C++20 renamed strongly happens before to simply happens before, and introduced a new, more relaxed definition for strongly happens before, which imposes less ordering.

Simply happens before is used to reason about the presence of data races in your code. (Actually that would be the plain 'happens before', but the two are equivalent in absence of consume operations, the use of which is discouraged by the standard, since most (all?) major compilers treat them as acquires.)

The weaker strongly happens before is used to reason about the global order of seq-cst operations.

This change was introduced in proposal P0668R5: Revising the C++ memory model, which is based on the paper Repairing Sequential Consistency in C/C++11 by Lahav et al (which I didn't fully read).

The proposal explains why the change was made. Long story short, the way most compilers implement atomics on Power and ARM architectures turned out to be non-conformant in rare edge cases, and fixing the compilers had a performance cost, so they fixed the standard instead.

The change only affects you if you mix seq-cst operations with acquire-release operations on the same atomic variable (i.e. if an acquire operation reads a value from a seq-cst store, or a seq-cst operation reads a value from a release store).

If you don't mix operations in this manner, then you're not affected (i.e. can treat simply happens before and strongly happens before as equivalent).

The gist of the change is that the synchronization between a seq-cst operation and the corresponding acquire/release operation no longer affects the position of this specific seq-cst operation in the global seq-cst order, but the synchronization itself is still there.

This makes the seq-cst order for such seq-cst operations very moot, see below.

The proposal presents following example, and I'll try to explain my understanding of it:

All the algorithms require copy-constructible function objects, and views are basically lazy algorithms.

Historically, when these adaptors were added, views were required to be copyable, so we required the function objects to be copy_constructible (we couldn't require copyable without ruling out captureful lambdas). The change to make view only require movable came later.

It is probably possible to relax the restriction, but it will need a paper and isn't really high priority.

If you look closely at the specification of ranges​::​size in [range.prim.size], except when the type of R is the primitive array type, ranges​::​size obtains the size of r by calling the size() member function or passing it into a free function.

And since the parameter type of transform() function is reference, ranges::size(r) cannot be used as a constant expression in the function body, this means we can only get the size of r through the type of R, not the object of R.

However, there are not many standard range types that contain size information, such as primitive arrays, std::array, std::span, and some simple range adaptors. So we can define a function to detect whether R is of these types, and extract the size from its type in a corresponding way.

GCC and Clang report that S is trivially copyable in C++11 through C++23 standard modes. MSVC reports that S is not trivially copyable in C++14 through C++20 standard modes.

N3337 (~ C++11) and N4140 (~ C++14) say:

A trivially copyable class is a class that:

• has no non-trivial copy constructors,
• has no non-trivial move constructors,
• has no non-trivial copy assignment operators,
• has no non-trivial move assignment operators, and
• has a trivial destructor.

By this definition, S is trivially copyable.

N4659 (~ C++17) says:

A trivially copyable class is a class:

• where each copy constructor, move constructor, copy assignment operator, and move assignment operator is either deleted or trivial,
• that has at least one non-deleted copy constructor, move constructor, copy assignment operator, or move assignment operator, and
• that has a trivial, non-deleted destructor

By this definition, S is not trivially copyable.

N4860 (~ C++20) says:

A trivially copyable class is a class:

• that has at least one eligible copy constructor, move constructor, copy assignment operator, or move assignment operator,
• where each eligible copy constructor, move constructor, copy assignment operator, and move assignment operator is trivial, and
• that has a trivial, non-deleted destructor.

By this definition, S is not trivially copyable.

Thus, as published, S was trivally copyable in C++11 and C++14, but not in C++17 and C++20.

The change was adopted from DR 1734 in February 2016. Implementors generally treat DRs as though they apply to all prior language standards by convention. Thus, by the published standard for C++11 and C++14, S was trivially copyable, and by convention, newer compiler versions might choose to treat S as not trivially copyable in C++11 and C++14 modes. Thus, all compilers could be said to be correct for C++11 and C++14.

For C++17 and beyond, S is unambiguously not trivially copyable so GCC and Clang are incorrect. This is GCC bug #96288 and LLVM bug #39050

It wasn't in 2011, because:

• We didn't have auto return type deduction for functions (that's a C++14 feature), and
• We didn't have auto&& parameters for functions (that's a C++20 feature), and
• Rvalue references were not implicitly moved from in return statements (that's also a C++20 feature)

But in C++20, yes, that is now a valid way to implement decay_copy. auto deduction does decay, return v; implicitly forwards, and everything else is the same.

I guess technically there's an edge case like:

In reference to the notebook you provided which is a supporting artefact to and implements ideas from the following two papers

1. "SVCCA: Singular Vector Canonical Correlation Analysis for Deep Learning Dynamics and Interpretability". Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) 2017
2. "Insights on Representational Similarity in Deep Neural Networks with Canonical Correlation". Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) 2018
   

The authors there calculate 50 = min(A_fake neurons, B_fake neurons) components and plot the correlations between the transformed vectors of each component (i.e. 50).

With the help of the below code, using sklearn CCA, I am trying to reproduce their Toy Example. As we'll see the correlation plots match. The sanity check they used in the notebook came very handy - it passed seamlessly with this code as well.
