Hello,
I recently heard of a new interesting way to use templates, making a type list that gets disassembled during compilation.
Here is what I got from the info:
Then with this you can declare a pseudo-variable that holds some types like this:Code:template <typename _A, typename _B> struct type_list { typedef _A a; typedef _B b; }; struct end_type_list {};
As I see you must use RTTI to make this work...Code:type_list <int, type_list<double, type_list<string, end_type_list>>> tlist;
This thing got my attention and I wish to learn more of it. Can someone point me to an internet resource about this usage of templates? I don't know the name of this technique and searching for it in google turned out useless...
Thanks in advance for any help.
