Hi.
Why is this code not working? How can I implement this?
Thanks.
class C
{ private:
struct stat st;
....
public:
typeof(st.st_gi d) gid() const {return st.st_gid;}
....
}

}- Hide quoted text -
for gcc use (IIRC) __typeof__ or something like that. There are also
cool hacks for VC7.1 and VC8, that trick the compiler into doing the
same ( probably other compilers too), but officially typeof is missing
from C++. It will be available in the next major c++ version, in form
of decltype and auto AFAIK.

What purpose could typeof serve that polymorphism doesn't?

The example is clear.
I need to use the stat structure without knowing its members types, i.e.
I am not sure if they are standard or system dependent. typeof fits
exactly my purposes. Somehow it works *only* for static declarations
(for g++ at least). So, I could turn around the problem by declaring a
"dummy" no space taker member:
static struct stat sttype[0];
Then I can write:
typeof(sttype[0].st_gid) gid() const {return st.st_gid;}
Any better solution?
Thanks.

What do you mean?
The example is clear.

They are and are not standard.
They are not standard in that the C++ and C standards does not describe or
reference any struct stat.
They are standard in that POSIX describes them, and POSIX is a standard. The
type of st_gid is defined in <sys/types.h>, which is not a standard C++
header, to gid_t, and is guaranteed to be an arithmetic type.
typeof fits exactly my purposes.
The problem is that it is non-standard, so, like stat, it is off-topic in
this group.

a) Read the manual
b) Ask in a group for your operating system
c) Ask in a group for your compiler
d) Wait for the next C++ standard

I am sorry. I didn't know I needed a C++ lawyer degree to post here :-)

C++ usually solves this kind of problem with templates. But if you are
trying to retain compatibility with a C library then you are out of
luck. For example:
template<class T>
struct stat
{
T gid;
};
template<class T>
class C
{
private:
stat<Tst;
public:
T gid() const
{
return st.gid;
}
};

The problem is that it is non-standard, so, like stat, it is off-topic in
this group.
Actually, the question whether C++ allows for typing of return values and
variables based upon the type of given expressions, and if so, how one does
this in C++, is topical. It just so happens that the answer is: it's not
(yet) possible. That the answer is short and not helpful does not render
the question off-topic.
Also, extensions of the standard, currently under discussion, are topical
according to the FAQ anyway. Since there are considerations about "auto"
and the likes of it, the problem of the OP seems to be perfectly topical.
That does not change the fact, that as of now, he will have to resort to
compiler specific solutions.

C++ usually solves this kind of problem with templates. But if you are

luck. For example:
The problem is that stat is a struct defined by POSIX, and it is used in an
operating system call. That is, it's sole purpose is to be filled by a
system call, and using other types than the system expects, will fail,
probably with very subtle results. Google for "stat(2)", and you will find
information about it for different systems. So, the use of stat must reatin
compatibility with a C library.
template<class T>
struct stat
{
T gid;
};
template<class T>
class C
{
private:
stat<Tst;
public:
T gid() const
{
return st.gid;
}
};
The real gain had been if something like
decltype(st.st_ gid) gid()
or
auto gid() { return st.st_gid; }
was possible. However it is not. Even if the compiler _knows_ which type
st_gid has, it is not possible to get this type from the compiler. However
this facility is proposed for the next C++ standard: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg...2006/n2115.pdf.

hi
what is the use of the typeof keyword , and how does it differ from the
GetType method. i found the GetType method useful but i fail to understand
the use of the typeof method.
i have tried out a very simple example which i made up myself.
Employee e = new Employee();
ContractEmp ec =new ContractEmp();
MessageBox.Show(typeof(Employee).ToString());

I am using Reflection.Emit to dynamically build a class. A method of the

to use Emit to pass a call of "typeof()" to the method.
The method could look like this:

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.
