10 // This macro allows to check if a type has a member named "__member_name__"...
11 // ... regardless of the signature. If takes advantage of the following behavior related to
12 // function resolution. Say, both, foo and base, declare a method with the same name "func":
13 //
14 //      struct   foo { int  func (int, int) { return 0; } };
15 //      struct  base { void func () {} };
16 //      struct mixin : public foo, public base {};
17 //
18 // Now, if we inherit from both -- foo and base -- classes, then the following calls will fail
19 //      mixin_ptr(0)->func();
20 //      mixin_ptr(0)->func(5, 5);
21 // with the error message (gcc): request for member func is ambiguous
22 // regardless if we provide any arguments or not even though one might expect that
23 // arg-based signature resolution might kick in. The only way to deploy those methods is:
24 //
25 //      mixin_ptr(0)->foo::func();
26 //      mixin_ptr(0)->base::func(5, 5);
27 //
28 // C2. The actual signature of __member_name__ is not taken into account. If
29 //     __T__::__member_name__(any-signature) exists, then the introduced base::__member_name__
30 //     will cause mixin->__member_name__() call to fail to compile (due to ambiguity).
31 // C3. &U::__member_name__ (a.k.a. &mixin::__member_name__)
32 //     has the type of func_type only if __T__::__member_name__ does not exist.
33 //     If __T__::member_name does exist, then mixin::__member_name__ is ambiguous
34 //     and "yes_type test (...)" kicks in instead.
35 // C4. Need to find some unique/ugly name so that it does not clash if this macro is
36 //     used inside some other template class;
