Of course, of course. That's what configuration files are for. Can't you step back and see the bigger picture?
I can see the bigger picture. I can certainly see the use in run-time template instantiation.
I'm just speculating about the costs. I think that you underestimate them. In no way do I mean to imply that they are unsolvable.
Okay. Well consider that it's just a matter of integrating a build system and building dynamically-loaded libraries. It's been done before, and it's something we know how to do.
Can you give an example of the compile-time use of reflection for templates and how this would be done ? Or have I completely misunderstood what you and Sebastian Redl are discussing ?
