I am new to this list and saw the messages related to traits and policies.
Welcome.
I understand policy classes but am not very familiar with traits.
The former grew out of the latter.
Can someone recommend a link for me to follow so I can better understand what they are as well as when, why and how to use them.
http://www.boost.org/libs/type_traits/index.html defines a large collection of single-purpose traits classes. std::numeric_limits, a collection of traits under a single name, is another example of a traits class. -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
