Would BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT( (T*) 0 ) work for you ? Regards, Michiel Salters.

BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT -

On occasion I find it convenient to use:

BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(false)

In templated code that should be unreachable. However, its doesn't work with compilers that are too smart for their own good. In order to make this work I need something like:

BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(boost::false_<T>::value)

Where boost::false<T> is a type that yields false for any type T.

Am I correct here? Where should such a code snippet be placed? Could it be added to mpl, type_trait or what?
