- <p>
- The term "enclosing type" refers to the type which is being introspected.
- This type is always a class, struct, or union.
- </p>
- <p>
- The term "inner xxx", where xxx is some element of the enclosing
- type, refers to either a type, template, function, or data within the enclosing
- type. The term "inner element" also refers to any one of these entities
- in general.
- </p>
- <p>
- I use the term "nested type" to refer to a type within another type.
- I use the term "member function" or "member data" to refer
- to non-static functions or data that are part of the enclosing type. I use
- the term "static member function" or "static member data"
- to refer to static functions or data that are part of the enclosing type. I
- use the term "nested class template" to refer to a class template
- nested within the enclosing type.
- </p>
- <p>
- Other terminology may be just as valid for the notion of C++ language elements
- within a type, but I have chosen these terms to be consistent.
- </p>
- <p>
- The term "generated metafunction(s)" refers to macro metafunctions
- which are generated by macros.
