I have written a template class and I would like tot "assert the type". My class should only use floating point types like double or float. Can I do this check with BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT  or anything else? The class need not to use a "countable type" (math: in N).

BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(!boost::is_integral<T>::value);

Thanks at all, but I think that's the best solution with is_integral Phil

Hello,

I have written a template class and I would like tot "assert the type". My class should only use floating point types like double or float. Can I do this check with BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT  or anything else? The class need not to

E.g. #include #include

template<class Type> class real_holder { public:    real_holder(Type val): _value(val)    {        BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT((is_floating_point<Type>::value));    } private:    Type _value; };

... {    real_holder<double> rh_d(1.0); //OK.    real_holder<int> rh_i(1); // compiletime error: //boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE<x> }

...

use a "countable type" (math: in N).

may be you need a different trait depending on the exact specification of your type.

You could use #include ... boost::detail::is_incrementable<Type> for countability, but this also includes pointers, iterators and other incrementable types. If you need to be more precise you can combine those traits using boost::mpl. HTH Joachim -- Interval Container Library [Boost.Icl] http://www.joachim-faulhaber.de
