Check if something exists or is defined

[tony_chestnut]

Hi,

Suppose I want to check if for example a particular struct member is defined and I don't know the actual members of the struct.

Here is an example along the same vein where I know the structure of the struct:

struct A {
    int a;
    char c;
};

I want to check if say a member called 'd' exists in struct A and if it doesn't print out a message.

Thanks for any help,
Tony

I'm afraid you can't do this. Perhaps you can tell us what you are trying to do (or rather, why you are trying to do this) and we can find an alternative.

I am trying to use TR1 mem_fn and when using it with a pointer to member data the returned object should not define any nested type names like result_type so I wanted to verify that this was the case and am not sure how to do it.
