I want to know about the specific types of applications which Template
Metaprogramming has been used in successfully.

I use template meta-programming extensively in the software I write for
embedded test and measurement equipment. Mostly, I use it for
compile-time polymorphism.

I use expression template in my matrix library: http://exmat.sf.net
Besides what usual expression template enabled linear algebra library
does, exmat also make use of template meta-programming to analysis the
expression tree. This extends the optimization to a higher level.

Hi Andy. I've used template metaprogramming predominantly for two
purposes: improving the reusability of code such as variants and
typemaps (containers keyed on type) through use of typelists (and hence
the reusability of the systems using the variants and typemaps), and
for trivial compile-time calculations like 2^N or log2(N) when dealing
with enums, bit flags, compression etc.. Applications are financial
middleware. - Tony
