Abrahams and Gurtovoy have written something close to a classic! marvelous fun to read! Read the complete book review by Jack J. Woehr, Dr. Dobbs Journal, June 03, 2005 If you're like me you're excited by what people do with template metaprogramming (TMP) but are frustrated at the lack of clear guidance and powerful tools. Well this is the book we've been waiting for. With help from the excellent Boost Metaprogramming Library David and Aleksey take TMP from the laboratory to the workplace with readable prose and practical examples showing that "compile-time STL" is as able as its runtime counterpart. Serving as a tutorial as well as a handbook for experts this is the book on C++ template metaprogramming." --Chuck Allison Editor The C++ Source C++ Template Metaprogramming sheds light on the most powerful idioms of today's C++ at long last delivering practical metaprogramming tools and techniques into the hands of the everyday programmer. A metaprogram is a program that generates or manipulates program code. Ever since generic programming was introduced to C++ programmers have discovered myriad "template tricks" for manipulating programs as they are compiled effectively eliminating the barrier between program and metaprogram. While excitement among C++ experts about these capabilities has reached the community at large their practical application remains out of reach for most programmers. This book explains what metaprogramming is and how it is best used. It provides the foundation you'll need to use the template metaprogramming effectively in your own work. This book is aimed at any programmer who is comfortable with idioms of the Standard Template Library (STL).
