And while we may indeed pick up `void` from `decltype(expr)`, ** there is not much we can do with a void type. The remedy is just to use this type as template ** parameter on another template instantiation, which fails if this type can not legally be formed. ** - we do not know how to get a value of the type to probe, in order to feed it into the extension ** point function. Fortunately, the `std::declval()` function was included into the C++ language ** for this very purpose. */ typedef unsigned int uint; #include "lib/format-cout.hpp" #include "lib/format-util.hpp" #include "lib/meta/duck-detector.hpp" #include "lib/test/test-helper.hpp" #include #include #include using lib::meta::No_t; using lib::meta::Yes_t; using lib::test::showSizeof; using std::function; using std::forward; using std::move; using std::string; #define SHOW_TYPE(_TY_) \ cout << "typeof( " << STRINGIFY(_TY_) << " )= " << lib::meta::typeStr<_TY_>() < \ class HasExtensionPoint_##_FUN_ \ { \ template()))>\ struct Probe \ { }; \ \ template \ static Yes_t check(Probe * ); \ template \ static No_t check(...); \ \ public: \ static const bool value = (sizeof(Yes_t)==sizeof(check(0))); \ }; META_DETECT_EXTENSION_POINT (fun) META_DETECT_EXTENSION_POINT (fun1) int main (int, char**) { fun1 (23); fun1 (); SHOW_EXPR ( HasExtensionPoint_fun::value ); SHOW_EXPR ( HasExtensionPoint_fun1::value ); SHOW_EXPR ( HasExtensionPoint_fun1::value ); SHOW_EXPR ( HasExtensionPoint_fun1::value ); SHOW_EXPR ( HasExtensionPoint_fun1::value ); SHOW_EXPR ( HasExtensionPoint_fun1::value ); SHOW_EXPR ( HasExtensionPoint_fun1::value ); SHOW_EXPR ( HasExtensionPoint_fun1::value ); SHOW_EXPR ( HasExtensionPoint_fun1::value ); SHOW_EXPR ( HasExtensionPoint_fun1::value ); SHOW_EXPR ( HasExtensionPoint_fun1::value ); SHOW_EXPR ( HasExtensionPoint_fun1::value ); SHOW_EXPR ( HasExtensionPoint_fun1::value ); SHOW_EXPR ( HasExtensionPoint_fun1::value ); cout << "\n.gulp.\n"; return 0; }
