Hi,
I heard that debug some C++ templates is very difficult. I'm wondering
whether it is possible to compile C++ program with templates to pure C
or C++ program without templates?
Best wishes,
Peng

The point of using templates is to not do that, since,
that's also difficult, generally speaking.

Errors associated with templates are notoriously verbose and often
cryptic (STLFilt not withstanding), and they make me wish I could have
the compiler emit the code generated from templates so I could more
easily see what was wrong. It would be similar to examining the output
of the preprocessor to debug macros. I don't know of any compiler that
does this, however.

Take a look at
The C++ Scalar, Vector, Matrix and Tensor class Library http://www.netwood.net/~edwin/svmtl/
The genclass shell script
svmtl/bin/genclass
is a customized version of the original genclass script
written by Doug Lea.
We used this script for generic programming
before Bjarne had a proper implementation of templates.
It can't do all of the things that templates can do
but it does create human readable output that you can debug.
Most compilers have an option (gcc -E for example)
that displays the output from the C preprocessor (cpp)
before it is passed to the C++ compiler proper.
This output includes all of the macro substitutions
and allows you to debug macro definitions.

Errors associated with other alternative similar things are also
notoriously verbose and often cryptic and don't even have something
such as STLfilt. This does not excuse either though and
I agree more needs to be done.

Thanks! That might come in handy.

Right. Sorry for the ambiguity: I meant that I didn't know of any
compiler that generated code from templates. All the compilers I'm
familiar with can dump the output of the preprocessor.

I was wondering if anyone could compile this code for me on VC.
The problem that I've run into is that VC++6 does not support templates
fully, and so, I cannot get this to compile, which relies heavily on
templates. So, if someone can compile the explicit specialication for me
with VC++7, and then I could try to use it in VC++6 (probably), if object
files are interconvertible, as in I can use object files of VC++7 on
VC++6, then?

Hi all,
I am writing a template matrix class in which the template parameters are
the number of rows and number of columns. There are a number of reasons
why this is an appropriate tradeoff for my particular application. One of the
advantages is that the _compiler_ can force inner matrix dimensions used in
multiplication to agree. A _complie-time_ error will be triggered if you
write A * B and the number of coluns in A does not equal the...

I have read that using templates makes types know at compile time and
using inheritance the types are first decided at runtime. The use of
pointers and casts also indicates that the types will first be know at
runtime.
But is there some strict definitions that defines runtime code and
compile time code that can be used in general?

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.
