what is the reason for the absence of "member_function_pointer_traits" (or alike) in the type_traits library ? To be precise: is it a design decision or just something not yet implemented ?
AFAIK, it's just not yet implemented.
In the latter case I hereby volunteer for implementing it.
Great!
Got an initial version together which is (AFAIK, hopefully) worth looking at. If there is still interest in a submission, I need to know where to put it. {CVS/ftp/scp [need an account then], mail [need to know where], my web server [not sure this is legal since parts are based on code written by other boost authors] }
[...first design ideas...]
Sounds good to me.
Inspired by people on the list and in depth analysis of the existing library code, the objective of "adding something like function_traits, but for member function pointers" has evolved to "providing a set of metafunctions conforming to the concepts commonly used troughout the library (such as type-trait,bool-trait,...) to classify and decompose function pointer types" According to the review docs this seems to be a fast-track candidate, however I would very much welcome anyone willing to build an example program with some compilers not tested with so far, before formally requesting for review.
