Hi,
I would like to suggest an addition to Boost MPL. In the project I am working on I often need to select integral values, either using MPL or home-brew template logic. Where MPL is preferred due to consistency.
This requires me to do something like:
int value = if_<condition, int_<value1>, int_<value2> >::type::value;
Which (when adding namespaces to the above) is too much typing in my opinion and reduces readability of my code.
Would it be useful to add a new variant of if_ to Boost MPL that would enable the following? (by combining the syntax of if_ and integral_c)
type value = if_integral_c<condition, type, value1, value2>::value
You can easily write that template yourself if you need it. What is the "type" argument above supposed to do? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
