 |
|
I have a problem with names like base1_type and base2_type. Why choose
names that are almost identical?
In std::pair we have first_type and second_type. In std::unary_function
we have first_argument_type and second_argument_type.
Isn't that precedence enough to choose names like first_base_type and
second_base_type here?

I think it's binary_function that has a second_argument_type :-)

Of course, it's bind1st and bind2nd, not bind_first and bind_second,
But these names don't refer to types, so I think you have a valid
point. Consistent naming is a lot of work, but it "looks" better.
In fact, I'd say that base1_type might very well be named
first_argument_type. xor_combine definitely is a binary meta
function and therefore its two arguments are types. It makes sense
to name these arguments first_argument_type and second_argument_type.
