Traits - http://www.cantrip.org/traits.html
A new and useful template technique that radically simplifies the interface to class templates instantiable on native C++ types. |

Gnarly New C++ Language Features - http://www.cantrip.org/gnarly.html
Description and examples about some newer C++ template features which are now broadly supported by the compilers. |

A Deeper Look at Metafunctions - http://www.artima.com/cppsource/metafunctions.html
This article investigates the use of metafunctions in template metaprogramming, and introduces the Boost Metaprogramming Library. It is an excerpt from the book, C++ Template Metaprogramming by David Abrahams and Aleksey Gurtovoy. |

Introduction to C++ Templates - http://www.justsoftwaresolutions.co.uk/articles/intrototemplates.pdf
C++ templates are a powerful mechanism for code reuse, as they enable the programmer to write code that behaves the same for data of any type. |

C++ Templates FAQ - http://womble.decadentplace.org.uk/c++/template-faq.html
Covers advanced template topics and compiler specific issues. |

C++ Templates: Metaprograms - http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=30667
Nicolai M. Josuttis and David Vandevoorde examine metaprogramming, or "programming a program." Learn how to lay out code that the programming system executes to generate new code that implements the functionality you really want. |

Multiple Dispatch: A New Approach Using Templates and RTTI - http://www.eptacom.net/pubblicazioni/pub_eng/mdisp.html
This article focuses on two new techniques based on templates and Run Time Type Identification (RTTI). |

Template Metaprogramming - http://bdn1.borland.com/article/borcon/files/4120/paper/4120.html
With template metaprogramming the compiler acts as a virtual computer, emitting code optimized for a specific purpose or environment. |

Templates and Inheritance Interacting in C++ - http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=31473
Discover the interesting ways that templates and inheritance interact by taking a close look at named template arguments, the Empty Base Class Optimization (EBCO), the Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (CRTP), and parameterized virtuality. |

Typed Buffers, Part 2 - http://www.ddj.com/cpp/184403799
This article does not treat buffers directly, but rather two operations that are commonly performed with buffers: filling a buffer with a value and copying between buffers and various containers. |
| |
Typed Buffers, Part 1 - http://www.ddj.com/cpp/184403791
This article treats memory buffers in C++, but with two twists: first, the buffers are generic, which means they can contain typed data. Second, the buffers are as efficient as their hosted type and the host operating system allows, in every aspect. |
| |
"Export" Restrictions, Part 1 - http://www.ddj.com/cpp/184401563
Explains what export is, and how it's intended to be used. Also looks at the problems export is widely assumed to address, and why it does not in fact address them the way most people think. |

An Improved Variant Type Based on Member Templates - http://www.ddj.com/cpp/184401293
This article presents the class variant_t, which encapsulates a mechanism to hold values of arbitrary types. |

Befriending Templates - http://www.ddj.com/cpp/184403853
Looks at why befriending a template in another namespace is easier said (in the standard) than done (using real-world compilers that don't quite get the Standard right). |
