This is 248,832 calls. I wouldn't be surprised if this worked out to several million template instantiations. The largest tests that I have run have been less than 50,000 template instantiations. I think you're going to destroy the compiler if you try this.

but as far as I understand it will destroy the compiler eitherway. Does it really matter if he is going to use preprocessor to generate the code or MPL? Templates are instantiated in both cases...

How is the Preprocessor vs. MPL relevant to what I said? The only way to make it work is to split the tests into many translation units. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
