I have no idea what the 'date wrapper approach' is...
It took a little bit, but I tracked down the message. I had deleted it by the time you asked.
Yeah, I read that but there was insufficient detail for me to understand. How would
allow_clipping_to_eom(d) + 2*months;
actually work? I'm assuming it would be something like:
date_wrapper allow_clipping_to_eom(const date& d)
with some set of operators defined on date_wrapper to work with 2*months?
I assumed that the wrapper type name was "allow_clipping_to_eom" and that it had a ctor taking a date. Thus, the expression above would create an unnamed temporary of type allow_clipping_to_eom and then some namespace scope operator +() would take an allow_clipping_to_eom and a typeof(2*months), returning a date. -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
