Hi

This align confused me:

liberasure/include/erasure/small_buffer.hpp

Line 50 in a0ff84d

auto align(char* buf_start) -> char* {

I thought that when you do placement new, you should automatically get the aligned address.
And also that aligned_storage should have sufficient size to store anything of that size or less.

Is this to support custom aligned types and arbitrary buffer sizes?
What are you trying to achieve?

Why do you use RTTI instead of strategy pattern?

liberasure/include/erasure/erasure.hpp

Line 266 in a0ff84d

return x && y && (std::type_index(typeid(*x)) == std::type_index(typeid(*y)));

That could well be - and in that case I don't need that function. G

Remembered about this old post by Sean Parent on the subject: http://stlab.cc/tips/small-object-optimizations.html

It's a tricky exercise in general.
