Hi all,
I am currently reading "C++ template metaprogramming" and I am very interested in the MPL provided by boost. However, I am curious on how users integrate this library in their developments. Please feel free to post not only code snippets, but also description of your usages of the MPL !
We make heavy use of the boost::units library, including our own additions to wrap up user unit conversions, and developed a type description library that can be used to implement runtime reflection and MPL generated edit controls in a GUI. The MPL part is just one aspect of the overall system though. You need more techniques, only some talked about in the MPL book. However, if you learn about how some of the Boost libraries are made you can pick these techniques up. A couple in particular are boost::any and boost::function<>.
