Actually I agree that comming up with a solution that would require only as many foo<pos>() instantiations as needed (maybe it's already time to change this function's name) would be very attractive, since it would remove that constant time that can become quite noticable for simple types. Unfortunaly, for the reasons I mentioned in my previous post, I don't believe that it can be achieved without generating templates on the call site...
Sorry to intrude, but, would it be possible for you to: - explain a bit algorithm on which your typeof works since the implementation is too messy to basics be stripped out - explain why is your algorithm so slow - on my Athlon 2200 and VS7.1, it takes about a second per typeof too be processed, which is, in my opinion, quite unacceptable. What is the speed bottleneck and is there a way to strip some features (function pointers, for example) to fasten compilation? Thanks.
