Specializations, typedef Aliases, and the Per-Specialization Static Gotcha: Pitfalls

Pitfalls for Specializations, typedef Aliases, and the Per-Specialization Static Gotcha.

Pitfalls and red flags

  • Assuming typedef of two different parameter sets points to one shared static.

  • Reading only one specialization's static and calling it a global count.

  • Refactoring to typedef names and accidentally creating a new parameter set elsewhere.

  • Expecting Java generic static behavior when writing SV parameterized code.
