GeneralC++ is a funny language Pin

It's usually not a matter of "can I do something?" (the answer is almost always yes, but you won't like the details), rather "how the hell do I accomplish this?"

I'm currently running into one such issue trying to avoid template creep, and I thought I had it, but no. I missed a detail.

Which I think I just solved while typing this. Edit: maybe. hmmm.

Such is the nature of this language. It's a giant puzzlebox. With C#, as often as not it's a matter of learning APIs.

With C++ it's usually a matter of learning to cajole the compiler to bend your source code the way you want it to.

It's uniquely challenging, not because of pointers or the usual footguns that people tend to complain about with the C family mid level languages, but because of template and all of the dynamics and paradigms that introduces into the language. It's really kind of amazing what you can do with it.
