I whined:
It is a bit boring not to be able to use a common name for these constructs, especially when trying to tech others about metaprogramming techniques in C++. And I do not see such common names in the MPL documentation (or C++book.)
David Abrahams responded:
Yeah, we managed to write the whole book without such a name, which suggests maybe it isn't really needed.
That is true for experienced folks, but seems to break down when teaching this subject to more junior colleagues.
Our book is not directed at "more experienced folks"
So, I will use "metafunctor" and "metafunctoid"
Those terms don't intimidate junior colleagues? They intimidate me! -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
