Converters

Usage

Convert from one type to another in compile time. Currently there is only the unsigned type converter.

   1 char c = 0x33;
   2 Unsigned<char>::type uc = 0x03;

That example is trivial, but is more useful when using it for template arguments in a class.

   1 template <typename T>
   2 class Foo {
   3 private:
   4     Unsigned<T>::type my_unsigned_variable;    
   5 };
