The function returns a reference to a multidimensional array, where each numerical element that you were putting in the mpl::vector is encoded as a separate dimension of the array.
Exactly. It's the vector returned by encode_type_impl. I didn't have a chance to think about my idea thoroughly but this is something completely different. Partial specializations aren't supported by functions,
That is a fact.
for example.
I think they are:
template<class T> char foo(vector<T>& v)[id1][id2][id3];
That's not a partial specialization; it's an overload. It's different from a specialization in that all the overloads need to be visible before the point of use unless you are going to use ADL to look up the function. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
