Hi,

I want to express a "string" value at compile time. I am assuming that
I have to go with mpl::vector<char> and then convert it at runtime to
its string format. I also have tried using

struct TestString
{
  static const char* getName()
  {
    return "TestStringName";
  }
};

and then have the user specify TestString and then I write my other code
to call getName() on the type at runtime.

Are these two choices the best I can hope for with regard to compile-
time "string" values?

Regards,
Bruce
