...turns out this is entirely generic and not tied to the context
within ActivityDetector, where it was first introduced to build a
mock functor to log all invocations.
Basically this meta-function generates a new instantiation of the
template X, using the variadic argument pack from template U<ARGS...>
At that time, our home-made Tuple type was replaced by std::tuple,
and then the command framework was extended to also allow command invocation
with arguments packaged as lib::diff::Record<GenNode>
With changeset 0e10ef09ec
A rebinding from std::tuple<ARGS...> to Types<ARGS> was introduced,
but unfortunately this was patched-in on top of the existing Types<ARGS...>
just as a partial specialisation.
Doing it this way is especially silly, since now this rebinding also kicks
in when std::tuple appears as regular payload type within Types<....>
This is what happened here: We have a Lambda taking a std::tuple<int, int>
as argument, yet when extracting the argument type, this rebinding kicks in
and transforms this argument into Types<int, int>
Oh well.
we made double use of our Tuple type, not only as a
generic record, but also as a metaprogramming helper.
This changeset replaces these helpers with other
metafunctions available for our typelists or type sequences
(with the exception of code directly related to Tuple itself,
since the intention is to delete this code alltogether shortly)
this is a stripped-down and very leightweight variant
of the well-known enable_if metaprogramming trick.
Providing this standard variant in a header with minimal
dependencies will allow us to phase out boost inclusions
from many further headers. As a plus, our own variant
is written such as to be more conciese in usage
(no "typename" and no acces of an embedded "::type" menber)
using our util::_Fmt front-end helps to reduce the code size,
since all usages rely on a single inclusion of boost::format
including boost::format via header can cause quite some code bloat
NOTE: partial solution, still some further includes to reorganise
the buildsystem will now pick up and link
all test cases according to the layer, e.g.
backend tests will automatically be linked
against the backend + library solely.
