1) I like the idea 2) I shouldn't do this (read tech emails when my blood sugar is low... my brain tends to wander and I come up with oddball ideas, to wit:)
Dunno what illness I suffer from, but what about: // Header "boost/mpl/has_" #ifndef HAS_HPP #define HAS_HPP #include <boost/mpl/aux_/has_xxx.hpp> #endif BOOST_MPL_HAS_XXX_TRAIT_DEF // Use: #include <boost/mpl/has_> ( Test ) // Replaces: #include <boost/mpl/aux_/has_xxx.hpp> BOOST_MPL_HAS_XXX_TRAIT_DEF( Test ) OTOH, some quick test shows that my compiler doesn't like it, as the last line of the include file plus the following line are not recognised as a macro call. Don't know if it's legal to do such stuff... If you'd like to change the language for more convenience, I suggest another syntax: #include <boost/mpl/has_>( Test ) The required change could be quite minimal: #include "bla" or #include <blubb> should accept code (or whatever) after the closing " or > and just replace the part before that with the include file's content. OK, time for a coffee and sorry if this was a stupid idea :) Regards, Daniel -- Daniel Frey aixigo AG - financial solutions & technology Schloß-Rahe-Straße 15, 52072 Aachen, Germany fon: +49 (0)241 936737-42, fax: +49 (0)241 936737-99 eMail: daniel.frey@aixigo.de, web: http://www.aixigo.de
