Discussion on: The big STL Algorithms tutorial: heap operations

[Pierre Gradot]

Or at least, not how I'd expect.

At least, there are 2 people in this case... std::push_heap and std::pop_heap have a weird signature. Maybe the purpose was to have similar signatures. I don't really get the point here.

std::sort_heap is somehow the counterpart of std::make_heap but I also find it weird.

I guess I don't have the appropriate background to understand these functions' signatures and names ^^

I have no idea who has such a background :D

Let's find the authors of the proposal for these functions XD

[Sandor Dargo]

What do you want to do with them? :D

[Pierre Gradot]

Ask them "but why ????"

[Sandor Dargo]

I was afraid of something more drastic :D

Don't worry I'm a nice guy 😇
