Hey,
Please have a look at the thread on boost.users called "safe assign of int to enum" and let me know if there is any interest here in the library I describe. (I didn't want to cross-post) Any suggestions/feature requests will be gratefully accepted. TIA,
Yes, I'm interested. Here is my wish list: 1. only the meta information that is really used should end up in the executable (can be done via template instantiations) 2. use a more intuitive name than "smart enum" something like "reflective enum" or so 3. the implementation should store the values in a structure like that struct enum_name { enum type { [... values ...] }; private: // [...friend declaration & accessors for meta information...] }; 3.1. the storage type should be a real enum 3.2. its name should be "type" so the enclosing structure can act as a metafunction 3.3. no public members, access is implemented via freestanding functions Regards, Tobias
