So I take it that's at least one definite interest, ha. I've also updated the code at the link to use a "better" implementation of AUTO_FUN: http://codepaste.net/iqzbiz It's now implemented as: #define AUTO_FUN_IMPL( ... ) decltype( __VA_ARGS__ ) { return __VA_ARGS__; } #define AUTO_FUN( name_and_param_list ) auto name_and_param_list-> AUTO_FUN_IMPL This is so that usage looks more like a function template definition, as seen in the example code. The use of __VA_ARGS__ is there so that people don't have to wrap their expression in an additional set of parentheses if a top-level comma is present in the expression (such as if you refer to a template with multiple arguments). 0x has variadic macros, might as well use them, albeit in an unconventional manner! -- -Matt Calabrese
