Once, Weakly: Template Dismantling ========================== It's not uncommon in template metaprogramming to dismantle a type into its component parts and...
This time, "Once, Weakly" gets systematic. We've gathered together most of our compile time type manipulation techniques to make a start at a unified...
Our new "Once, Weakly" examines some of the tradeoffs of designing an "instantiation interface" for a class template. This is the interface that a user of the...
The current "Once, Weakly" is a discussion of why one might want to implement a clone operation in a hierarchy: Attack of the Clones: This "tutorial" item...
In our latest "Once, Weakly" we look at one of the more obsure syntactic problems of template programming: how to guide the compiler's parse when there is not...
This week's "Once, Weakly" gets back to basics with an introduction to the "traits" technique for programming with templates. In this installment, we go over...

In the current "Once, Weakly," we examine a few more typelist meta-algorithms to motivate a few somewhat half-baked metaprogramming techniques used to...
Software Development West, Santa Clara, March 15-19 ... Just a reminder that I'll be at SD from mid-afternoon on Tuesday through Friday. If you want to meet...
A Little Polish =============== Yes, the rumors are true! C++ Gotchas is now available in Polish! See http://helion.pl/ksiazki/cppkru.htm C++ Common...
This week features an eclectic set of topics on problematic array arguments, useless keywords, the semantics of comparing class pointers, and the mechanics of...
This week we're making a good faith effort to describe the Prototype pattern, the Factory Method pattern, and the concept of covariant return types (that often...
Actually, it's just an early Once, Weakly because I won't be able to get to it next week. In this/next week's topics, we'll examine each of the following in...
