Noticeable Things

Efficient data_bucket & New core/any Library

As the passing of data and parameters rely heavily on the data_bucket class and any type, we have carefully thought about the implementation of data_bucket. To avoid the deep copy of objects as much as we can, the data_bucket utilizes the move semantics in many places. As a result, a new any type library was introduced because boost::any does not support move semantics.

Usage samples can be found in unit test cases (unit_test/utils.data_bucket.cpp).

In general, an object can be created from the source, passed through a bunch of nodes, and finally written to the sink without creating any copy if the user of the framework does not want this object to be copied at any time.
