A suggestion for the boost_heap 1.0 libraries.
Currently change(), increase() and decrease() do raw assignment
T m_value;
K value;
p->m_value = value;
This can be a nuisance if there is no easy way to modify T to support the
right kind of assignment. How about using traits to replace the assignment
with functor syntax? In other words if
change_traits<K>::assign_type()
were "functor", the assignment would look like
value(p->m_value);
It would be necessary to modify the body of change() to something like:
change_value(p->m_value, value);
if(! sift_down(p))
sift_up(p);
for appropriate definitions of sift*.
