Increasing usage for C++ new operators based on data model indexes?

You have not written anything tangible for us to discuss.
Can you discuss the programming interface design for a single function in terms of concepts (without referring to source code examples)?

No. There's no interface design for single functions, plus if it's only one function, just write it down for us and we can take a stab at the issue.

I find this view questionable.

template<typename model_item, typename model_index> model_item * get_item_pointer(model_index mx);Can you discuss such a function template declaration better?

That's your right. I will not spend any time arguing it either way.
Can you discuss such a function template declaration better?
That's a declaration, moreover it's a template, so this declaration doesn't mean anything to me. I have no idea what it is to be doing. Neither can I know how this
model_itemis to be handled inside the model, nor whatmodel_indexis, since it's a generic template type. Additionally there's no clarity of how this function is to be integrated into theQObjectderived models, because there are limitations of whatmoccan parse.Give us some solutions to these problems and I'd be happy to pitch in with ideas, critiques and even work. But only if you take the time to actually prepare something that can reasonably be discussed.
Vague notes about theoretical constructs are not acceptable.

I have no idea what it is to be doing.
Your understanding of this programming interface (and my API proposal) might be still incomplete at the moment.
But I am confident that you know already what such a function should be doing: You get a pointer for an object based on the provided input data.…, since it's a generic template type.
Can you become used to work with templates for software development and involved concepts?

That is for sure, as you have not proposed an API.

Humor me.

I already am.

A function template declaration can be a succinct description for an application programming interface, can't it?

No, it can't. Not even by a long shot.

How can your view fit to the C++ standard template library?
@elfring said in Increasing usage for C++ new operators based on data model indexes?:
How can your view fit to the C++ standard template library?
It fits perfectly. The STL is comprised by many, many, many functions and classes. They even have bodies too, unlike the one declaration you wrote.

My proposal can eventually grow into another template library, can't it?
They even have bodies too, unlike the one declaration you wrote.
The desired implementation can evolve further if the required concepts will be generally accepted.

Only if you write the library, or at least the core of it.
The desired implementation can evolve further if the required concepts will be generally accepted.
The only thing that's going to be generally accepted is written code, i.e. an implementation. Since you have written none, none is going to evolve.

Some software designers expect the development of specific concepts before concrete programming.
Template programming can help to achieve a safer coding style. -

@elfring, discussing "specific concepts" with you is difficult because your posts are unclear. If you write code, then your ideas will be clearer and easier to understand.

I hope that the involved communication difficulties can be resolved after a bit more time.

- Can your desire for “source code” distract from the really relevant functional design?
- Can other information presentation variants and communication tools help more to achieve also a better common understanding?

I'll take the liberty to answer instead of @JKSH.

Your hopes are falling short. If you don't make an effort to provide what is required for a conversation, then the conversation is nonexistent. You don't. You don't answer questions, you don't in any way try to give back what was asked for, and you randomly pick up parts of the sentences to try and extend this thread.
Can your desire for “source code” distract from the really relevant functional design?
It can't. Source code is the product of thought in this community. Arguing excessively and arguing against providing source code is not going to work. We want to see you're serious enough about your claim that you're willing to put an effort in defending it. Empty platitudes and (semi)random links to documentation(s) are not going to be entertained.
Can other information presentation variants and communication tools help more to achieve also a better common understanding?
Common understanding is a two-way street. If you're not willing to meet us halfway I see no reason any of us to want to waste our time.

You don't answer questions,
I find this information inappropriate.

I chose to respond in different ways.
Arguing excessively and arguing against providing source code is not going to work.
- Are there any developers around who can clarify design extensions without thinking only in source code?
- Can the original development idea become more interesting?
Common understanding is a two-way street.
Can the clarification of design aspects from a function template declaration help here?

We don't think only in source code, but we find it as a useful way to clarify what we mean. Are you able to clarify your design extensions through source code?
- Can the original development idea become more interesting?
Not unless you make it more interesting by including some source that we can discuss.
Can the clarification of design aspects from a function template declaration help here?
Nope, but a class with its function bodies would help.

How will your interests evolve for application programming interfaces expressed in the format of function template declarations?
Nope, but a class with its function bodies would help.
Can it occasionally be more helpful to clarify software design properties before attempting a specific implementation?

They will not. My interests have evolved already and in their current state of evolution they require hard facts, evidence if you will.

Occasionally it can, but not in this case.

Can this kind of feedback express another kind of change resistance?

It is nice that you can follow this view to some degree.
but not in this case.
I prefer a stricter separation between a software design draft and a possible prototype implementation here.
