Hello,Is there any interest in a library which automatically sorts types from smallest to largest at compile time?The benefit would be the automatic Data Structure Alignment and potential improvement in performance.Foo foo_1; //normal
Foo foo_2; //using the TypeSort
output:
size of foo_1 = 48
size of foo_2 = 32 Kind Regards,

There is already a sort meta-function in Boost.MPL.

Sweet! Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
You also need to use Boost.Fusion to make it into a tuple at the end, 
since this is what you want.

Here is an example:

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
   namespace mpl = boost::mpl;
   namespace fusion = boost::fusion;

   typedef mpl::vector types;
   typedef mpl::sortmpl::_1
                                     , mpl::sizeof_mpl::_2
                                     >
                    >::type sorted_types;
   typedef fusion::result_of::as_vector::type tuple;

   tuple t;
   std::cout << sizeof(t) << std::endl; // 8 instead of 12
}

This appears to work.
