Re: [boost] [mpl] Integral Constant is over specified

5 Aug 2006


      FWIW Here is one way that The separate Concepts in mpl::IntegralConstant could
be broken down. If algorithms are specified in those terms then  a wider
range of types can be used.
Note that the RuntimeEvaluable is useful on its own, as is Iterable.
Its somewhat unfair to include The Numerics and comparisons, but note the
warnings emitted  in VC7.1 warning level 3(but none if warnings are turned off!)
when a bool_ is used for maths, which suggest *Strongly* to me that it should be
a separate Concept. Also not that bool_ fails the Iterable check so
that check is commented out.
