I am working on some generic code that could use a method deduction trick of some sort. One mentioned by J.Maddock (http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg52178.php) does not work on vc6 - is there anything in boost (MPL?) that can help? Thanks, Max.

I wouldn't count on any member detection with VC6. I little works with V7.0. What problem are you trying to solve? Jonathan

You can detect type members on vc6. See mpl/aux_/has_xxx.hpp.
What problem are you trying to solve?

I'm familiar with the implementation of has_xxx, but I was pretty sure it didn't work on VC6 .... In fact, the test program at the end of this message compiles fine on VC6, but should static assert if has_xxx is supported. Am I doing something wrong? By the way, I have an implementation of has_template_xxx, which detects member templates. It works on all my SFINAE-capable compilers -- seven, at last count -- but I'm afraid it's probably not standard-conforming. Any interest?

Among other things, "has_xxx.hpp" contains MSVC 6.0-specific implementation.

Yep, please see below.
By the way, I have an implementation of has_template_xxx, which detects member templates. It works on all my SFINAE-capable compilers -- seven, at last count -- but I'm afraid it's probably not standard-conforming.
You don't imply that a conforming implementation is not possible, do you?
Any interest?
After the release, sure. [...]
#include <boost/mpl/aux_/has_xxx.hpp> #include <boost/static_assert.hpp>
struct S { };
struct T {
^ That's a really unfortunate choice of name. One of the MSVC 6.0's peculiar bugs is this: struct T {}; template< typename T > struct her : T {}; // inherits from *global* T!
typedef int kids; };
BOOST_MPL_HAS_XXX_TRAIT_NAMED_DEF(has_kids, kids, true)
int main() { BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(has_kids<S>::value); // Should fail.
If you rename 'T' to something else, it will.
BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(has_kids<T>::value); }

No. But I'm not sure my technique is conforming. At first I thought I could interpret 14.8.2/2 to allow it, but now I think the interpretation is a bit iffy. Anyway, that's why I never posted it.

Hah! I guess I must have used the same name when I tested it before. Better stick to 'Thing'. Since I couldn't get it to work on VC6 I thought the MSVC workaround must be just for 7.0. So Borland 5.x is really the odd man out here. Jonathan
