Hi, The compiler is smart enough to prune an if condition if it knows that the value is always false. So if you add an if(!Lower::IsConstant) before and after your loop, you don't have to rewrite it. Matthieu 2009/2/19 Hicham Mouline <hicham@mouline.org>:

Hello,

I have an algorithm like:

template <typename Upper, typename Lower> class X {

static void f() { .... for (size_t n=0; n<=N; ++n) { // process for j=0 at every n if Lower::IsConstant is false for (size_t j=1; j<=J-1; ++j) { } // process for j=J at every n if Upper::IsConstant is false } .... }

So I extracted the double for loop in a separate wrapper class and I verbosely wrote 4 specializations with template args begin bool :

<true, true> <false, true> <true, false> <false, false>

for e.g. for <true, true>

// process for j=0 once for (size_t n=0; n<=N; ++n) { for (size_t j=1; j<=J-1; ++j) { } } // process for j=J once

Any advice? Is there a better way than writing explicitly the tmpl specializations? Boost.PP maybe?
