I have a template class (for numerical processing) that was originally
written for real data that I need to extend to complex data, and I am
running into a problem. The current version (greatly simplified) has
something like
template <class T>
class FOO {
T A;
T B;
};
which works fine with T as any floating point type (float, double, etc.).
With complex data however, I would want A to be type complex<T> and B to
be type T. As the operations are identical for both real and complex
data (B represents the absolute value/magnitude of type of A) and the
actual template is quite large, I want to use the same template for both.
The obvious solution is to rewrite it as
template <class DATA, class ABS_TYPE>
class FOO {
DATA A;
ABS_TYPE B;
}
which can be instantiated with FOO<float, float>,
FOO<complex<dou ble>, double>, etc., but that would break existing code
and add a possibility for error (FOO<complex<do uble>, float> would be
a disasterous loss of precision). Is there a way to get a template
to recognize automatically that B should be type T when A is instantiated
as either T or complex<T>? 2 1654

I have a C++ template class which contains a static variable whose
construction registers the class with a map. Something like this:

The constructor of Registrar does the registering when it is initialized.

comp.lang.c++.moderated in an effort to get some response.
I am using Loki's Factory as presented in _Modern C++ Design_ for
message passing in an embedded environment with multiple processors. I

register the class with the appropriate factory:

Whenever I get any error with Vc++7.1/.net/2003, it is followed by huge
ammounts of "template assistance" error messaging referencing template code
(MTL) that has nothing to do with the error.
This makes it difficult to spot errors. For example, F4 to "jump to next
error" just jumps ot the next "template assistance" message. And since
there are hundreds of them, this is quite obnoxious.
Can I disable these things? Why is MSVC...

Hello all
Is the usage of extern keyword valid for telling the compiler to NOT
instantiate a template and to link it from an another binary?
For example:
Suppose module A's binary contains a template class called "myTemplate", for
which there is an instantiation for 'int' type.
Now suppose a class in module B binary wants to use this template

I want to create (with new) and delete a forward declared class.
(I'll call them Zorgs here - the real-life Zorks are platform-dependent
objects (mutexes, timestamps etc.) used by a cross-platform scripting

platform-specific support library is linked in.)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
