Lisp-Style C++ Template Metaprogramming Library (lmp) - Experimental GitHub Project
By
mistivia
Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
A GitHub repository showcasing a Lisp-style C++ template metaprogramming library called 'lmp'. The project implements functional programming concepts using C++ templates as an esoteric programming language, treating template metaprogramming as a fun experiment rather than production code. It demonstrates basic list operations like reversing lists and accessing elements through compile-time static assertions, requiring C++11. The author explicitly warns that it's not suitable for production due to performance issues and template expansion depth limitations.
Key quotes
· 5 pulledC++ template meta programming in a Lisp style.
This is not something you would use in production. It's super slow and easily hit the max depth of template expansion.
It's more like treating C++ template as an esolang, and create a 'Lisp' on it just for fun.
C++11 is needed.
See test.cc for examples.
