The template-based IDL will make this stuff easier.
Agreed.
Is there a non-macro-based variant of the IDL in development, or is this referring to the implementation behind the macros? If the first, sorry that I missed it. Could you please give me a link? <snip>
The names that I like:
IEmpty IAnything IUnknown INull
I find all of these distrurbingly reminiscent of COM interfaces...
I would rather say:
FuBar(IAnything n) { if (n.type_info() == typeid(int)) { cout << extract<int>(n); } }
Whatever, this is trivial stuff, I don't really care that much.
I beg to differ, and I am sure many others will along with me :) My preference is for 'unknown', since you don't know anything about the type. FuBar(unknown obj) { if (target_type(obj) == typeid(int)) { cout << extract<int>(obj); } } Matt
