[Boost-users] Mapping from type to value

What is the best practice for creating a map from a type to a value? Currently I do it like this: ===================================== struct SomeMap { template<typename T> static const std::string& LookUp(); }; template <> const std::string& SomeMap::LookUp<int>() { static const std::string s("int"); return s; } ===================================== ...but this seems far from optimal. -- System Developer TouchTable AB Tel: +46 (0)31 773 68 12 johan.torp@touchtable.se
