Could not deduce type for T
This simple code snippet fails to work as expected for some reason, instead requiring me to explicitly specify type for T (for the function call foo):
Code:
template<typename T>
void foo(typename Stuff::mpl::ArgumentHelper<T>::type Arg)
{
cout << Stuff::mpl::type_name<Stuff::mpl::add_const<typename Stuff::mpl::ArgumentHelper<T>::const_type>::type>::name << endl;
Arg.x = 5;
}
class A { public: int x; };
namespace mpl = Stuff::mpl;
int main()
{
A a;
a.x = 0;
foo(a);
cout << a.x << endl;
}
Does anyone know why?
ArgumentHelper is defined as follows:
Code:
namespace detail
{
template<typename T, bool IsFundamental> struct ArgumentHelper { typedef T type; typedef T const_type; };
template<typename T> struct ArgumentHelper<T, false>
{
typedef typename boost::add_reference<T>::type type;
typedef typename Stuff::mpl::add_const<type>::type const_type;
};
}
template<typename T> struct ArgumentHelper
{
typedef typename boost::remove_reference<typename boost::remove_const<T>::type>::type raw_type;
typedef typename detail::ArgumentHelper<T, boost::is_fundamental<raw_type>::value>::type type;
typedef typename detail::ArgumentHelper<T, boost::is_fundamental<raw_type>::value>::const_type const_type;
};
Explanations are greatly appreciated O_O
EDIT: And how to work around it in a good way, if possible. Otherwise the whole thing is doomed.
