metaprogramming solution to recursive function typedef ?

[Roshan Naik]

* Roshan Naik:
That makes, if possible, even less sense.

Where did you get the idea that the above is "the" alternative?

I didnt use the "stress". There may be others and thats what I am looking
for. What I was conveying is ... the argument against functors based
solutions is that (in this case) it leads to more syntax all over the place,
as compared to ...

Other downsides :
- The functors based approach you mentioned requires virtual function table
based dispatching,
- Each usage of a function needs a object, plus the member function
pointer, plus the vtable jazz... unlike the plain functions approach which
would only requires a function pointer.

To get you on track: think about functor objects containing function pointers.
