Thorsten / Marcus: roughly comparing to smart enum proposal: - BENUM _automates_ conversions based on stringified source code, which (postulating an extra macro "BENUM" hard-coding your favourite selection of meta-data container and optional features) allows BENUM(X, A = 1, B, C = 22, D = B|N); to approximate enum X { A = 1, B, C = 22, D = B|N }; and needs no further code to be streamable etc (preprocessor macros allow run-time cross-referencing of stringified source code with array of actual values)
This interface requires variadic (C99) preprocessor support, does it not? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
