Hello, all.
I want to propose typesafe enums. Sources are available in Boost Sandbox (typesafe_enums.zip). Were tested under VC 7.1.
Main features are: - type safety; - meaningful printable names; I find this very useful. - ability to use in switch-case constructs; - iteration through enumerators; Something similar has been proposed on the MPL to do list:
http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?MPL_TODO_List search for "don't work with enumeration types:" Example code is at: http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/vault/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directory=cppljevans/mpl in range_all.zip. If your enumerators can be used to make tuples or variants with "named" fields, as done in the: cppljevans/tuple_nested_enum_test.cpp in the vault, I'd be interested.
