No more switch statement smell.
I agree on the smell...Thankfully it's very contained when using the compile-time version. It seems like with a run-time component that was interoperable with the compile-time one, you could have zero run-time overhead during computations as well as get rid of all switch statements at the boundaries (reading/writing from database or GUI). Something like:
quantity<SI::length> on_dialog_ok() { quantity<abstract> dist; dist.set_unit(combo.selected_item().data()); dist.set_value(entry.value().as_double()); return quantity<SI::length>(dist); }
Here is how I would do it: quantity<SI::length> on_dialog_ok() { double conversion = combo.selected_item().data(); double value = entry.value().as_double(); return quantity<SI::length>::from_value(conversion * value); } Absolutely minimum overhead. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
