@@ -6,18 +6,15 @@ Template and macro libraries often need to define many classes, functions, or
macros that vary only (or almost only) in the number of arguments they take.
It's a lot of repetitive, mechanical, and error-prone work.
Variadic templates and variadic macros can alleviate the problem. However, while
both are being considered by the C++ committee, neither is in the standard yet
or widely supported by compilers. Thus they are often not a good choice,
especially when your code needs to be portable. And their capabilities are still
limited.
As a result, authors of such libraries often have to write scripts to generate
their implementation. However, our experience is that it's tedious to write such
scripts, which tend to reflect the structure of the generated code poorly and
are often hard to read and edit. For example, a small change needed in the
generated code may require some non-intuitive, non-trivial changes in the
script. This is especially painful when experimenting with the code.
Our experience is that it's tedious to write custom scripts, which tend to
reflect the structure of the generated code poorly and are often hard to read
and edit. For example, a small change needed in the generated code may require
some non-intuitive, non-trivial changes in the script. This is especially
painful when experimenting with the code.
This script may be useful for generating meta code, for example a series of
macros of FOO1, FOO2, etc. Nevertheless, please make it your last resort
technique by favouring C++ template metaprogramming or variadic macros.
