Hi,
I'd be interested in comments on an introspection library I've been developing.
[snip] Could this library be used to implement a class metafunction template: template<typename T> gcptr_locations { typedef vector_c < std::ptrdiff_t , offset0 , offset1 ... , offsetn > gcptr_offsets ; }; where gcptr_offsets would contain the offsets from the start of a T to the location of all the: template<typename S> struct gcptr; contained within T? gcptr<S> might be, for instance, a smart pointer to an S. This would be useful for garbage collection. BTW, based on just the class name, the code: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/sandbox/intro/boost/intro/detail/in... could be replaced with that here: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/sandbox/variadic_templates/boost/io... An example of its use is here: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/sandbox/variadic_templates/libs/com...
