See perhaps <boost/strong_typedef.hpp>
I didn't know about BOOST_STRONG_TYPEDEF's existence until Caleb mentioned it. When I looked for documentation, I found it was part of the Serialization library. Perhaps the documentation belongs to another section (this also goes for static_warning, smart_cast, etc.). (I didn't check the CVS, I checked the 1.32 release; sorry if it's already fixed) Boost contains many useful things under the hood ;). Apropos, some classes I use are from boost/detail (e.g., atomic_count). I feel guilty having to write "detail" when using them... will they become part of public boost some day?
This code will print "int: 7" (but I'm expecting "handle: 7"). I have an implementation that deals with such cases.
You mean something like Matthew Wilson's (www.stlsoft.com) true_typedef?
