Hi, I have a mpl::vector of types. Each of the types in the vector have themselves another nested mpl::vector that is a sequence of enums. I have include the code below. What I am trying to do is take the original sequence and make a new sequence based on the predicate that only elements with certains enums in their nested vector be included in the new sequence. I have included more notes in the embedded comments. I was thinking of using mpl::copy_if but am having trouble getting the predicate right. Wanted to know if anyone could steer me in the right direction. I am trying to fill in the ??? below. I am having trouble writing a custom predicate. Thanks in advance.
