I’ve tried to dig into C++ template metaprogramming a number of times in the past. In general I’ve found that the techniques were clever but I haven’t found any places where I felt they’d be an improvement over the things I’m already doing.<\/p>\n

Given there is quite a bit going on in this area and the standard library and boost both use metaprogramming techniques extensively, I’m diving in again. I’m back in the C++ world and working in a C++ 2011 compliant environment so I’m going to put a bit more energy into this dive and see if I can come away with useful techniques in addition to the curious but seemingly over-complex bits I’ve seen in the past.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’m starting with my older and thinner book \"51qxxo57fsl-_sx400_bo1204203200_\"<\/a>C++ Template Metaprogramming<\/a> which seems to be a bit easier of a read.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ll\"51hivtb-yjl-_sx348_bo1204203200_\"<\/a> likely then hop over to Advanced Metaprogramming in Classic C++<\/a> which looks more comprehensive (if perhaps a little dated) but is definitely harder to get started on.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve ordered a few books that seem to also look interesting:<\/p>\n
