Is there any way to do pre-compile code expansion in test.cc?

[Lei Qiao]

Dear all,

Now I have to template argument need to go through in a test.cc file.

But I don't want to write the code repeatedly or generate code by a script and paste a very long piece of boring code into the test.cc file. 

So, is there any way to do pre-compile code expansion by a loop in test.cc, just like in the *.inst.in file? 

Best,

Lei

No, there is none.

You can do
template <typename T> void check () {
...code that uses type T...
}

int main () {
check<A>();
check<B>();
}

This way you only have to repeat the calls to check() for the template types A
and B, not the actual code.

You can do
   template <typename T> void check () {
     ...code that uses type T...
   }

   int main () {
     check<A>();
     check<B>();
   }

This way you only have to repeat the calls to check() for the template types A
and B, not the actual code.

Thanks.

That's almost my final solution. At the first I was just too lazy and got too many template parameters.
