[section:tti_terminology Terminology]
|
|
|
|
The term "enclosing type" refers to the type which is being introspected.
|
|
This type is always a class, struct, or union.
|
|
|
|
The term "inner xxx", where xxx is some element of the enclosing type,
|
|
refers to either a type, template, function, or data within the enclosing
|
|
type. The term "inner element" also refers to any one of these entities in general.
|
|
|
|
I use the term "nested type" to refer to a type within another type.
|
|
I use the term "member function" or "member data" to refer to non-static
|
|
functions or data that are part of the enclosing type.
|
|
I use the term "static member function" or "static member data" to refer to static
|
|
functions or data that are part of the enclosing type.
|
|
I use the term "nested class template" to refer to a class template
|
|
nested within the enclosing type.
|
|
|
|
Other terminology may be just as valid for the notion of C++ language
|
|
elements within a type, but I have chosen these terms to be consistent.
|
|
|
|
The term "generated metafunction(s)" refers to macro metafunctions
|
|
which are generated by macros.
