调研方向
从 binary-search-tree 练习开始,检查 example.h,重点关注 binary_tree::left()、binary_tree::right() 和 insert()。将它们的 ownership 和 constness 与 issue 中展示的当前测试进行比较。当示例和测试就一个无法使树 invariant 失效的 const-safe 子树 API 达成一致时,即表示完成。

描述
In the exercise "binary-search-tree" the methods left() and right() are hard to implement correctly. The example implementation itself is IMHO incorrect.
The tests look like this:
template<typename T>
using tree_ptr = typename std::unique_ptr<binary_tree::binary_tree<T>>;
template<typename T>
static void test_leaf(const tree_ptr<T> &tree, const T& data, bool has_left, bool has_right)
//...
test_leaf<uint32_t>(tested->left(), 2, false, false);
That forces implementations of binary_tree::left() (and binary_tree::right()) to return a tree_ptr reference or rvaue which points to a non-const subtree.
Remember: const std::unique_ptr<some_type> means that the unique_ptr itself is const, not the object it points to.
Somebody could take the example implementation (example.h) and write
auto tree = binary_tree::binary_tree<int>(100);
tree.insert(50);
tree.left()->insert(150);
and thus invalidate the invariant of tree.
I consider any implementation of a binary search tree that can be corrupted that way as faulty. I came up with three alternatives that avoid this issue and pass the current tests:
binary_treecould have a member variableallow_insertthat istruefor the root andfalsefor all subtreesbinary_treecould have a parent pointer andinsert()could check for each of its parents if the new value violates that parent's invariantleft()andright()could copy the subtree and return aunique_ptrto that copy.
But IMHO none of those alternatives feels right.
The easiest solution would be if left() and right() could return const raw pointers. But one could argue that raw pointers result in unclear ownership.
