libcamera: Remove std::piecewise_construct where not necessary
When inserting an element with emplace(), the element is constructed
in-place with the parameters to the emplace() method being forwarded to
the constructor of the element. For std::map containers, the element is
an std::pair<const Key, T>. The constructors of std::pair<T1, T2> fall
into three categories:
(1) Default, copy and move constructors (and related versions)
(2) Constructors that take lvalue or rvalue references to T1 and T2
(3) A forwarding constructor that forwards parameters to the
constructors of T1 and T2
The first category isn't useful in most cases for std::map::emplace(),
as the caller usually doesn't have an existing std::pair<const Key, T>
for the element to be inserted.
The constructor from the third category is useful to avoid constructing
intermediate Key or T instances when the caller doesn't have them
available. This constructor takes two std::tuple arguments that contain
the arguments for the Key and T constructors, respectively. Due to
template deduction rules, usage of such a constructor couldn't be
deduced by the compiler automatically in all cases, so the constructor
takes a first argument of type std::piecewise_construct_t that lets the
caller force the usage ot the forwarding constructor (also known for
this reason as the piecewise constructor). The caller uses a construct
such as
map.emplace(std::piecewise_construct,
std::forward_as_tuple(args_for_Key, ...),
std::forward_as_tuple(args_for_T, ...));
This syntax is a bit heavy, but is required to construct Key and T
in-place from arguments to their non-default constructor (it is also the
only std::pair non-default constructor that can be used for non-copyable
non-movable types).
When the caller of std::map::emplace() already has references to a Key
and a T, they can be passed to the std::pair piecewise constructor, and
this will create std::tuple instance to wrap the Key and T references
arguments to ultimately pass them to the Key and T copy constructors.
map.emplace(std::piecewise_construct,
std::forward_as_tuple(Key_value),
std::forward_as_tuple(T_value));
While this mechanism works, it's unnecessary complex. A constructor of
std::pair that takes references to Key and T can be used without any
performance penalty, as it will also call the copy constructor of Key
and T. In this case we can use a simpler constructor of std::pair, and
thus a simpler call of std::map::emplace.
map.emplace(Key_value, T_value);
We have a couple occurrences of this above misuse of piecewise
construction. Simplify them, which simplifies the code and reduces the
generated code size.
