Very nice looking library =)
Thanks! One addition I'd like to see would be a BOOST_ENUM_MASKS or similar:
BOOST_ENUM_MASKS( orders, (can_move) (can_patrol) (can_fire) )
I really like this idea. Want to help me implement it? Sounds like we need a bunch of operator overloads to make it all go. I've always wanted this sort of thing too. I'm not sure if a _COMMENTS version would be all that useful nor a
_VALUES one.
I'm now thinking of just having something else called a BOOST_STRINGTABLE, a convienent way to get at a bunch of strings without needing an external resource file/compiler. I'm also not sure whether the '|' character should be
configurable. I'll stop thinking now before I come up with an enum_mask_iterator idea and make this far too complicated :P
Hehe, it's sometimes hard to resist the urge to over-engineer, especially as a library developer eh? Although I am intriged about this iterator idea. -Frank
