Template Types

The fact that Atom and Ref are macros creates a syntactical problem with template types. It is e.g. not possible to declare

Atom(TemplateType<ArgType1,ArgType2>)

since the comma is interpreted by the preprocessor as the separator for arguments of Atom, not of TemplateType. However, this problem may be overcome by declaring

typedef TemplateType<ArgType1,ArgType2> TA;
Atom(TA);

(where TA is an arbitrary identifier not used elsewhere) or by manually inserting the macro definitions provided in the RT++ header file rt++/rt_type.h.
