Template Expansion

[Robin Eidissen]

Is it possible to see what template instantiations expand to? It would
be very usful in debugging template metaprograms. I use Visual C++ 2003.

You could use Comeau C++ (it's a front-end compiler, producing C code
from your C++) to generate the C code, but I cannot seriously advise
anybody to use it since the output must be relatively cryptic.

I do not know of any other tools that could do what you ask. If your
compiler can do that, people in the newsgroup dedicated to that compiler
should know...
