[Boost-users] Boost. Parameter and deduced constructor ?

Thank you for your previous help with the Boost. Parameter library, I have been able to solve my problem. I would like to know if is it possible in any way to exploit the Boost. Parameter library to get a template class with a constructor that automatically deduce the correct template parameters. If not I would like to know if there exist a convenient way to minimize the pain resulting from template classes. For example now I have to write: VariateSampler< GaussianDistribution, MersenneTwisterPseudoRng> gaussianSampler( myGenerator, GaussianDistribution() ); Creating a make_VariateSampler function alone does not buy me anything. I would like to write: I would really like to write: VariateSampler<> gaussianSampler = make_VariateSampler( myGenerator, GaussianDistribution() ); VariateSampler<> poissonSampler = make_VariateSampler( myGenerator, PossionDistribution() ); and gaussianSampler and poissonSampler be of different types (deduced from the rhs): gaussianSampler of type VariateSampler and poissonSampler of type VariateSampler Now, these types are not complicated, but I am using a template decorator approach to modify the behaviour of these samplers and the resulting types are too nasty for anyone to write them. How could I improve the situation? Something like boost::function for classes? The point is that I (the user) could not care less about these types, only the sampler class needs to know them to operate correctly. Do I have necessarily to create them (via a make_VariateSampler) and pass them on the fly where needed? Thank you StephQ
