A<T> is not derived from B<T>


... or more precisely,
error: type âaccessor_parameter<T, (sizeof (T) > sizeof (T*))>â is not derived from type âC3Variable<T>â

In this case, I can work around this, but I'd like to understand what
is going on here. The accessor_parameter is a return type of a method of
template class C3Variable (an otherwise trivial getter method of an
instance var of type T). (The main point is to automate the decision of
transferring a value or a pointer to the value, thus the condition.)

gcc -v:

Oh, just in case it matters:

template < class C, bool > struct accessor_parameter {
};
template <> template < class C > struct accessor_parameter <C, true > {
    typedef const C & type;
};
template <> template < class C > struct accessor_parameter <C, false > {
    typedef C type;
};
#    define accessor_pt(T)  \
    accessor_parameter < T, (sizeof(T) > sizeof(T *)) >::type

... and more macros, ending in ACCESSOR_R(name, type) for a getter,
ACCESSOR_W(name, type) for a setter, and so on. I believe this is the
first time I tried to use this in a template class, however.
