Re: [Boost-users] Tuple use/overuse?

I have been finding that the boost::tuple library is so convenient that I am

Thanks much,Graham

I tend to use it for q&&d passing of bundled properties. If this is more used, I make a full blown struct out of it. Besides that it is a great library, I can think of three drawbacks: - hard to see its contents in a debugger (using Visual Studio) - bind expression with tuple becomes a nightmare - default initialising of its members is m_member() (while sometimes we reserve -1 for uninitialised) Wkr, me
