Fwd: [OT] [metaprogramming] Importance of order of delarations/definitions.
Hi! Could anyone tell me if there is any example where in e.g. metaprogramming there is a need of strict order of declarations and definitions of templates? Theoretically there should not be a problem, but maybe there are some tricks where order influence on fitting types and/or for lookup of specializations. Generally the question is related to the fact, that GCC force user to put typedefs and declaration/definitions in proper order before any usage of types. And I am looking for the example which points why we can NOT mix all - when the order is important. Regards. -- |\/\/| Seweryn Habdank-Wojewódzki \/\/

I'm sorry, I can't understand what you're saying. Examples might help. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com The Astoria Seminar ==> http://www.astoriaseminar.com
