Thank you!
So:
1 - Is there any way TO get the output 64,64? It seems like being
able to get a comma out of a mixin is a useful feature.
2 - Is this very non-standard / unrecommended practice and
there's a much better way to do this?
For example, in my actual code, I have an enumerator:
enum MAP_SIZE
{
PLANET = 2048,
SHIP = 256,
SHUTTLE = 64,
(etc)
} //this could also be translated to an array lookup. ala
SHIP = 0, SHUTTLE = 1, etc. with an array holding the sizes.
and then I pass MAP_SIZE, into a map class, which then builds
layers into that map based on the MAP_SIZE. The layers are
statically sized at compile-time by translating a given MAP_SIZE
down to the actual required dimensions.
So in plain English: Based on a MAP_SIZE, the inner structures
are all sized appropriately at compile-time.
So, for example:
map_t!(MAP_SIZE.SHIP) x;
goes into
map_t(MAP_SIZE s)
{
layer_t!(mixin(sizer2D!(s))) layer;
}
which becomes
map_t(MAP_SIZE s)
{
layer_t!(64,64) layer;
}
and in layer_t:
layer_t(int width, int height)
{
int [width][height] data;
}
Is there a different way to go about this? Should I be building
some sort of function inside a template that "decides" /
"translates" a passed template parameter MAP_SIZE to width and
height values?
I guess I could try putting the mixin inside layer_t and put the
values into the square brackets, instead of commas. But again,
"no commas" seem so arbitrary from an abstract, novice
perspective. What if I was pre-processing English statements
which include commas?
Thank you for your assistance. I appreciate it.
