Hi all,
this is a follow-up of my question of yesterday (Fold a vector of pairs).
The example here is a lot more elaborate and more like the final code I'd like to achieve.
I still get errors when compiling the code below related the use of mpl::second<mpl::_2>.

>From my previous question I get that the placeholder expressions need to be evaluated lazily (so no ::type or ::value - obviously the code below is thus incorrect).
I've been reading section 3.3 of the MPL book on 'Handling Placeholders' a couple of times and from this it seems I need 3 metafunctions that call apply<> on the passed placeholder expressions and which would return each of the types to be passed to multi_index::member<>?
I'm not sure what you mean here.
I've been trying different approaches but none have been successful...
I'm still not grasping how to handle these placeholder expressions...
I hope the great minds on this list can bring some light in my clouded mind...
Thanks & kind regards,
Peter

Okay, AttrTraits is not a proper MPL-compatible member function, as it operates on non-type template parameters. This has problems below...
template <typename AttrT>
struct Attribute
{
typedef AttrTraits<AttrT::value> ATraits;
typename ATraits::type value;
};

I don't know where the "&"s came from (email problems at some point), but the ::value and ::type are, as you've observed, triggering immediate evaluation, and you want lazy evaluation. But like I mentioned above, Boost.MPL can only handle metafunctions which take type template parameters, so your use of AttrTraits is DOA. I suggest either redefine AttrTraits to take a Boost.MPL integral constant or define a wrapper that has the same effect.

Ditto.

See if the above suggestion gets you anywhere.
