let's assume I have a structure which takes 5 ints as template parameters.

The first parameter is different as it defines how many of the other parameters are actually used.
How can I use boost::preprocessor to get this kind of code repetition:
// one channel test pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 1, 1 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 1, 2 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 1, 3 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 1, 4 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 1, 5 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 1, 6 >::type >(); // up to 64
// two channels test pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 2, 1, 1 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 2, 1, 2 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 2, 1, 3 >::type >(); // ... pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 2, 1, 32 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 2, 2, 1 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 2, 2, 2 >::type >(); pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 2, 2, 3 >::type >(); // ... // ... pixel_pixel_test< pixel_type_generator< 2, 32, 32 >::type >(); // last two parameters up to 32 - which means there are 32 x 32 calls

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. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
