at the moment I’m really interested in expression templates and want to code a library for writing and differentiating mathematical functions with a lambda-style syntax. At the moment, I’m able to write (_x * _x)(2); and get the correct result 4. But I would really like to do something like MathFunction f = _x * _x; f(2);, but I don’t have any ideas on how to cope with the recursive expression templates on the right side. Is it possible to achieve this without using the ‘auto’-Keyword instead of MathFunction or having to make the operator() virtual?
Thanks for your help!
As I’m a newbie to this site, I have found this not until I submitted this question. Thanks for your answers, but this is what I was really looking for.
