| [section:tti_enclosing_type Enclosing Type] |
| |
| The enclosing type you introspect with TTI must be a valid type |
| at the point in which you invoke the macro metafunction. If it is |
| not a valid type at that point you will receive a compiler error. |
| |
| If the enclosing type is a valid type but is not a class type you |
| will not receive a compiler error, but the result of the introspection |
| will always return 'false' or, in the case of the metafunction generated |
| by BOOST_TTI_MEMBER_TYPE, will always return the marker type. |
| |
| When using the macro metafunctions generated by BOOST_TTI_HAS_MEMBER_DATA |
| and BOOST_TTI_HAS_MEMBER_FUNCTION the first template parameter may be an |
| enclosing type or a pointer to member data or member function respectively. |
| In each of these cases TTI can distinguish between the two possibilities and |
| only if the first template parameter is an enclosing type, once again if it is |
| a valid type but not a class type you will not receive a compiler error but |
| the result of the introspection will return 'false'. |
