Question

I have a template that I would like to conditionally compile depending on the type of the argument. I only care about differentiating between \"Plain Old Data\" (POD), i.e., in

You can't solve this with the preprocessor, since it doesn't know about C++. (It's a dumb text replacement tool.) Use templates to do this.

Assuming IsPod::result returns something alike Boolean/Boolean:

template
class foo
{
    void do_something(T obj, Boolean /*is_pod*/)
    {
      // do something for simple types
    }
    void do_something(T obj, Boolean /*is_pod*/)
    {
      // do something for classes/structs
    }

    void bar(T obj)
    {
       do_something(obj, IsPod::result());
    }
}
