* reducer_ostream.h
*
* Purpose: Hyper-object to write to 'std::ostream's
*
* Classes: reducer_ostream
*
* Description:
* ============
* Output streams ('std::ostream's) are a convenient means of writing text to
* files, the user console, or sockets. In a serial program, text is written
* to an ostream in a specific, logical order. For example, computing while
* traversing a data structure and printing them to an 'ostream' will result
* in the values being printed in the order of traversal. In a parallel
* version of the same program, however, different parts of the data structure
* may be traversed in a different order, resulting in a non-deterministic
* ordering of the stream. Worse, multiple strands may write to the same
* stream simultaneously, resulting in a data race. Replacing the
* 'std::ostream' with a 'cilk::reducer_ostream' will solve both problems: Data
* will appeaer in the stream in the same order as it would for the serial
* program, and there will be no races (no locks) on the common stream.
*
* Usage Example:
* ==============
* Assume we wish to traverse an array of objects, performing an operation on
* each object and writing the result to a file. Without a reducer_ostream,
* we have a race on the 'output' file stream:
*..
* void compute(std::ostream& os, double x)
* {
* // Perform some significant computation and print the result:
* os << std::asin(x);
* }
*
* int test()
* {
* const std::size_t ARRAY_SIZE = 1000000;
* extern double myArray[ARRAY_SIZE];
*
* std::ofstream output("output.txt");
* cilk_for (std::size_t i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE; ++i)
* {
* compute(output, myArray[i]);
* }
*
* return 0;
* }
*..
* The race is solved by using a reducer_ostream to proxy the 'output' file:
*..
* void compute(cilk::reducer_ostream& os, double x)
* {
* // Perform some significant computation and print the result:
* *os << std::asin(x);
* }
*
* int test()
* {
* const std::size_t ARRAY_SIZE = 1000000;
* extern double myArray[ARRAY_SIZE];
*
* std::ofstream output("output.txt");
* cilk::reducer_ostream hyper_output(output);
* cilk_for (std::size_t i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE; ++i)
* {
* compute(hyper_output, myArray[i]);
* }
*
* return 0;
* }
*..
*
* Limitations:
* ============
* There are two possible values for the formatting flags immediately after a
* 'cilk_spawn' statement: they may either have the value that was set by the
* spawn function, or they may have default values. Because of
* non-determinism in the processor scheduling, there is no way to determine
* which it will be. Similarly, the formatting flags after a 'cilk_sync' may
* or may not have the same value as before the sync. Therefore, one must use
* a disciplined coding style to avoid formatting errors. There are two
* approaches to mitigating the problem: The first is to eliminate the
* difference between the two possible outcomes by ensuring that the spawned
* function always returns the flags to their initial state:
*..
* void compute(cilk::reducer_ostream& os, double x)
* {
* // Perform some significant computation and print the result:
* int saveprec = os.precision(5);
* os << std::asin(x);
* os.precision(saveprec);
* }
*..
* The second approach is to write your streaming operations such that they
* don't depend on the previous state of the formatting flags by setting any
* important flags before every block of output:
*..
* cilk_spawn compute(hyper_output, value);
*
* hyper_output->precision(2); // Don't depend on previous precision
* *hyper_output << f();
* *hyper_output << g();
*..
* Another concern is memory usage. A reducer_ostream will buffer as much text
* as necessary to ensure that the order of output matches that of the serial
* version of the program. If all spawn branches perform an equal amount of
* output, then one can expect that half of the output before a sync will be
* buffered in memory. This hyperobject is therefore not well suited for
* serializing very large quantities of text output.
