Scrap++: Scrap Your Boilerplate in C++

Paper i proceeding, 2006

"Scrap Your Boilerplate" (SYB) is a well studied and widely used design pattern for generic traversal in the Haskell language, but almost unknown to generic programmers in C++. This paper shows that SYB can be implemented in C++. It identifies the features and idioms of C++ that correspond to the Haskell constructs that implement SYB, or can be used to emulate them, and provides a prototype C++ implementation.
