I've got a question.
Is a compile-time variables concept known?
Yes, but AFAIK it can't be done in standard C++. I guess you mean something along the lines of this hack, which takes advantage of a common compiler bug which will incorrectly find the check() and value() overloads.. Works on gcc and maybe something else, but it's not portable. ...
Unfortunatelly, yes - my implementation is much, much nicer, but a similar concept is used. :( However, I've just tried with latest Comeau compiler (maybe I shouldn't believe them it's 100% standard compliant), with strict compiling mode turned on - and mine implementation works there! What's the problem with overloading (one imaginable would be that compiler finds the best possible match, while the standard (maybe; I don't have it) says that a first available should be used)? Thanks and sorry if I'm boring or vastly offtopic.
