Re: [boost] detecting a constructor with a specific signature

I'm trying to create a type trait to detect the presence of a constructor with a very specific signature. Types passed to this trait will *always* have a constructor of the form:

T( const std::string& );

but some of them will have this constructor as well:

T( const std::string&, Foo& ); // Second parameter will always be a Foo&

I would like to create a type trait that returns true when the second constructor is present. I can't simply do:

!is_convertible<std::string, T>::value

since that will return false when the second constructor is present since all Ts are convertible from std::string. Is it possible to create such a trait?

As far as I know, it's impossible. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
