After reading a recent Joel on Software article ( http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2003/10/13.html ) and the discussion it generated, I decided to try to write some sort of general strong typedef.
The article you linked to doesn't mention typedefs, it's about the alleged harmfulness of exceptions (and it seems poor Joel just didn't understand Resource Acquisition is Initialization in C++ or try-finally in Java/C#). Am I right to assume that with "strong typedef" you mean something like a typedef, but where each identifier defined in this way is an actual type and not just an alias? Best regards, Arne Vogel
