#253: convert::from_to is not flexible for the user ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: lazzara | Owner: lazzara Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Milena | Version: 2.0 Keywords: | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Changes (by lazzara): * status: new => assigned Comment: Edwin noticed that g++ looks up to overloads in two passes. 1/ Try to find the closest overload among the previously declared functions. 2/ Try to find the closest overload among all the declared functions in the namespaces of the first argument (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki /Argument-dependent_name_lookup). By using this second mode, we could avoid all the forward declarations in from_to.hxx and make the conversion system extendable just by defining the from_to_() overloads in the same namespace as their first argument. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.lrde.epita.fr/olena/ticket/253#comment:1> Olena <http://olena.lrde.epita.fr> Olena, a software platform dedicated to image processing.
