This will allow a faster conversion than the dynamic transform and will
allow you to define compile-time types for transformation unlike dynamic
transform or invoke with transform.
This is used with the FunctionInterface::DynamicTransformCont method to
convert a call of arguments using dynamic array handles to a function
templated on concrete types.
The FunctionInterface class is a convienient way to wrap up a variable
number of arguments and pass them around templated interfaces without
requiring variadic template arguments. It also correctly hands return
arguments.
Use this mechanism in the dynamic array handle to skip over trying
invalid array handle types (and thereby incurring a compiler error even
though we never intended to use these classes).
The dynamic array handle holds a reference to an array handle of an
unknown type. It contains the ability to try to cast it to an instance
of array handle or to try lists of types and containers.
There is currently an issue that is causing the test code not to
compile. It is the case that some combinations of types and containers
are not compatible. For example, an implict container is bound to a
certain type, and the container is undefined if they do not agree. There
needs to be a mechanism to detect these invalid combinations and skip
over them in the MTP for each.
Provies a list of types in a template like boost::mpl::vector and a
method to call a functor on each type. However, rather than explicitly
list each type, uses tags to identify the list. This provides the
following main advantages:
1. Can use these type lists without creating horrendously long class
names based on them, making compiler errors easier to read. For example,
you would have a typename like MyClass<TypeListTagVectors> instead of
MyClass<TypeList<Id3,Vector2,Vector3,Vector4> > (or worse if variadic
templates are not supported). This is the main motivation for this
implementation.
2. Do not require variadic templates and usually few constructions. That
should speed compile times.
There is one main disadvantage to this approach: It is difficult to get
a printed list of items in a list during an error. If necessary, it
probably would not be too hard to make a template to convert a tag to a
boost mpl vector.
