Use a template to get alternate behaviour?
- by Serge
Is this a bad practice?
const int sId(int const id);
// true/false it doesn't matter
template<bool i>
const int sId(int const id) {
return this->id = id;
}
const int MCard::sId(int const id){
MCard card = *this;
this->id = id;
this->onChange.fire(EventArgs<MCard&, MCard&>(*this, card));
return this->id;
}
myCard.sId(9);
myCard.sId<true>(8);
As you can see, my goal is to be able to have an alternative behaviour for sId.
I know I could use a second parameter to the function and use a if, but this feels more fun (imo) and might prevent branch prediction (I'm no expert in that field).
So, is it a valid practice, and/or is there a better approach?
