c++ - There seems to be a harsh limit in templates...

This transition table for a BACnet 'receive frame' state machine, using boost's

Actually, it doesn't seem to be a length limit; I've just abbreviated a lot of the names... typedef mpl::list < transition< idl, e_eatoct, idl, &rf::naught > , transition< idl, e_pream1, pream, &rf::naught > , transition< pream, e_pream1, pream, &rf::ignore > , transition< pream, e_nopream, idl, &rf::reset > , transition< pream, e_pream2, hd, &rf::naught > , transition< hd, e_frmtype, hd, &rf::savfrmt > , transition< hd, e_dst, hd, &rf::savdst > , transition< hd, e_src, hd, &rf::savsrc > , transition< hd, e_len1, hd, &rf::savlen1 > , transition< hd, e_len2, hd, &rf::savlen2 > /* , transition< hd, e_hd_CRC, hd_CRC, &rf::vrfhdr > , transition< hd_CRC, e_badhCRC, idl, &rf::reset > , transition< hd_CRC, e_frm2lng, idl, &rf::reset > , transition< hd_CRC, e_no_dat, idl, &rf::reset > , transition< hd_CRC, e_noforus, idl, &rf::naught > , transition< hd_CRC, e_dat, dat, &rf::savdat1 > , transition< dat, e_dat, dat, &rf::savdat > , transition< dat, e_datCRC1, dat, &rf::naught > , transition< dat, e_datCRC2, datCRC, &rf::vrfdCRC > , transition< datCRC, e_baddCRC, idl, &rf::reset > , transition< datCRC, e_okCRC, idl, &rf::rcvfrm > */
::type transition_table;

..and yet the problem happens always in the same line. When the overflow section is commented out like above, the program compiles. Would this be a limit on template depth, or number of params? dan

Never mind, it's a boost artificial limit of 10 on list.

For whoever else may be concerned, the solution is to, instead of

#include "boost/mpl/list/list.hpp"
typedef mpl::list < ...only up to 10 items... >

to,

#include "boost/mpl/list/list30.hpp"
typedef mpl::list22 < ...22 items... >

--i.e.: listXX where XX is the exact number of items.

Cheers!
