I have not been doing a large amount of Standard C++ for the last 2 years and seem to have fallen behind the times-) I'm catching up (reading Alexandrescu) but got a way to go. One of the things that I seem to have missed is traits? What are they? How do they relate to his Policy classes? Since these are not Boost specific questions and are more C++ questions is there a good C++ newsgroup that is recommended as all the books I have don't seem to cover "advanced" topics well. Thanks in advance.
I'll answer off-list since this isn't really on topic. Google for Nathan Myers (or just go to http://www.cantrip.org/) to find out about traits from the guy that invented them. Addison Wesley just announced a new book on templates by Josuttis. I've got it on order, but haven't seen it yet. If this book is as well received as his last one was, it will be great. There aren't enough books on generic programming yet. But you can go to http://cuj.com and read back articles including the editors forum to get what is available. -- Jon Kalb Kalb@LibertySoft.com Yahoo!
