You are right. I don't use templates to your extent although I do use them A LOT like templated member functions (which do work fine), default templates and etc. Looking into the docs, the compiler tells you you can't do certain things with templates. Oh well that sux but those features are for limited use at least for me.
I just don't understand your code.
struct Item_type: template <class R> struct I_Wrapper
template <class I=Item_type> class Container
When expanded for Container<>::Item, this is what you get:
X: Item <Item_Type::I_Wrapper <Container<Item_type> > >
But then Container<Item_type>'s Item_type's I_Wrapper's R is not specified! Even so, it has to have an Item_list which is a list of Items which is X again. To evaluate the Item for the Item_list of X, it has to do it again and again. I sense an infinite loop in Container<> a! It has to evaluate Item_list over and over and over.
So can anyone explain this code to me?
