#MultipleSubTemplates

A generic class template which can call another class template multiple times.

The sub template must follow a specific call signature in its arguments to be used with this generic class. Specifically it must have a IDX argument to receive its index. A number of generic arguments ARG1, ARG2, ARG3, ARG4, can also be defined to pass from the outer to the internal template that is wrapped.

Usage

/// Template which we want to evoke multiple times
 #class_template SubTemplate (IDX=0, ARG1="", ARG2="", ARG3="", ARG4="") = { };
 };

 MultipleSubTemplates WrapSubTemplates(
     NUM=3,
     CLASS_TEMPLATE = "SubTemplate",
     NAME_PREFIX=SubFolder,
 ) = { };

The example above will create a folder structure like this:

WrapSubTemplates = {
  SubFolder_000 = { };
  SubFolder_001 = { };
  SubFolder_002 = { };
};
