A follow-on question (or rant):


Is there trace/debug support for templates. The last time I wrote one
there were plenty of "how did I get *that*"? Debugging consisted of
manually emulating the compiler - nof easy in C++.
Another issue was the awful error reporting. Any error message involving
strings was several lines long, beginning with the fully expanded
template.


I haven't used C++ lately, so I hope things have improved.
