c++ - How should you implement STL features for custom classes? -
i'm implementing tuple-like class, call mytuple, , have stl features, namely tuple_element, tuple_size, , get.
- should implement tuple_element,tuple_sizespecializations innamespace std? if not how should implement them?
- since i'm not allowed overload stl getfunction, mean must provide separategetfunction in own namespace, thereby forcing users writeusing std::get;?
recall there ain't no such thing partial specialization of function templates. can't partially specialize std::tuple_element et al class.
normally, define free-standing functions logically part of class' interface in same namespace class itself. can rely on argument-dependent lookup find them. std::get found same mechanism - users of library not in fact forced write using std::get.
