+/*
+This header file provides a framework for allowing compile time dispatch
+based on type attributes. This is useful when writing template code.
+For example, when making a copy of an array of an unknown type, it helps
+to know if the type has a trivial copy constructor or not, to help decide
+if a memcpy can be used.
+
+The class template __type_traits provides a series of typedefs each of
+which is either __true_type or __false_type. The argument to
+__type_traits can be any type. The typedefs within this template will
+attain their correct values by one of these means:
+ 1. The general instantiation contain conservative values which work
+ for all types.
+ 2. Specializations may be declared to make distinctions between types.
+ 3. Some compilers (such as the Silicon Graphics N32 and N64 compilers)
+ will automatically provide the appropriate specializations for all
+ types.
+
+EXAMPLE:
+
+//Copy an array of elements which have non-trivial copy constructors
+template <class T> void copy(T* source,T* destination,int n,__false_type);
+//Copy an array of elements which have trivial copy constructors. Use memcpy.
+template <class T> void copy(T* source,T* destination,int n,__true_type);
+
+//Copy an array of any type by using the most efficient copy mechanism
+template <class T> inline void copy(T* source,T* destination,int n) {
+ copy(source,destination,n,__type_traits<T>::has_trivial_copy_constructor());
+}
