This PR further simplifies working with alias columns.
alias_column<alias_a<Derived>>(column<Derived>(&Object::field))
one can simply writealias_column<alias_a<Derived>>(&Object::field)
.operator->*()
now also checks whether object type of a member pointer is the same as the aliased type, just like the named functionalias_column()
.E.g. this means that
"my"_alias.for_<Object>()->*&Object::field
works, but"xyz"_alias.for_<Something>()->*&Object::field
does not.alias_column<myalias>(&Object::id) == 4
without "lifting"4
into an expression usingc(4)
, which improves legibility.Additionally:
E.g.
constexpr auto reuseColumn = column_pointer<Derived>(&Object::id);
orconstexpr auto aliasedColumn = alias_column<alias_a<Derived>>(&Object::id);
