Re: [Boost-users] Question about enable_if / disable_if

2009/5/23 Zachary Turner

Suppose I have a template function

template<typename T> void f(const std::string&, T);

which I want there to be a couple of different variants of.

Version 1 - Enabled if and only if boost::is_same Version 2 - Enabled if and only if boost::is_same (foo is a class) Version 3 - Enabled if and only if boost::is_enum<T> Version 4 - Otherwise

Is there an easy way to express this? It seems I run into a bunch of overload ambiguity problems. I'm sure I can get around this by adding to every version the negation of all the other conditions, but this seems unnecessarily complicated.

1, 2 and 3 are disjoint, so you can use them as is. For 4 use negation of 1, 2 and 3. Roman Perepelitsa.
