I'm revisiting Czarnecki and Eisenecker's work (Generative Programming: Methods, Tools, and Applications) from 2000. I'm wondering what is available in boost that exploits (or even advances) on the techniques and code examples given there.
It occurs to me that both the concept_check and the mpl library have something to offer in this respect. At the very least, there are few obvious things (e.g. if, apply_if, etc. in mpl). Is anyone actively applying boost code in this area?
FWIW, boost::fsm (preliminary submission in the sandbox, formal review request will follow soon), uses MPL to generate hierarchical/orthogonal state machine entry-/exit sequences and dispatch tables. State machines are also checked for errors (invalid transitions, etc.) at compile time. Regards, Andreas
