A new and useful template technique that radically simplifies the interface to class templates instantiable on native C++ types.

Description and examples about some newer C++ template features which are now broadly supported by the compilers.

Covers advanced template topics and compiler specific issues.

This article focuses on two new techniques based on templates and Run Time Type Identification (RTTI).

C++ templates are a powerful mechanism for code reuse, as they enable the programmer to write code that behaves the same for data of any type.

This article investigates the use of metafunctions in template metaprogramming, and introduces the Boost Metaprogramming Library. It is an excerpt from the book, C++ Template Metaprogramming by David Abrahams and Aleksey Gurtovoy.

Introduces the syntax for declaring and using variadic templates, along with some simple examples of variadic function templates and variadic class templates.

Discover the interesting ways that templates and inheritance interact by taking a close look at named template arguments, the Empty Base Class Optimization (EBCO), the Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (CRTP), and parameterized virtuality.

Nicolai M. Josuttis and David Vandevoorde examine metaprogramming, or "programming a program." Learn how to lay out code that the programming system executes to generate new code that implements the functionality you really want.

Tries to shed at least a little light on how templates work by looking at how the are handled in the C++ compiler.
