I'm a new to metaprogramming so please bare with the stupid questions:
I have a requirement to convert string literals to a specified format at compile-time. In otherwords, given a literal like "3A689", I need to verify the value and, if not valid, generate a correct value such that:
//pseudocode const char ch[] = verify<"3A689">::valid_value;
would result in something like:
const char ch[] = "03A689X";
Can I use Boost to write a template to do this?
I know that is extremely vague, but does anyone have any thoughts?
Use mpl::string: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_44_0/libs/mpl/doc/refmanual/string.html You might find the interface less than ideal. C++ doesn't allow strings as template parameters. -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
