Instantiated templates for the LongestType type

Description

LongestType provides the longest type in memory of 2 other given types. The given types must not necessarily be basic types (it also works with classes).

Usage:

typedef LongestType<
                    yourtype0,
                    yourtype1,
                    (sizeof(yourtype0) < sizeof(yourtype1))
                    >::type YourLongestType;

LongestType

class LongestType

template<typename T0, typename T1, bool sizet0smallerthansizet1>
class LongestType< T0, T1, sizet0smallerthansizet1 >

Select the longest type in memory of two given types T0 and T1.

This is the case of sizeof(T0) >= sizeof(T1)

Typedef Documentation

LongestUnsignedType

using LongestUnsignedType = unsigned long long

#include <CppAddons.h>

Longest unsigned integral type in the target machine.

This type is useful, for example, to receive an integral argument that can have any length. For indicating a size in memory, use size_t instead: the standard states, in fact, that any object in memory that occupies more than size_t is ill formed.
