Yes, that looks as if it would do the job, but what are its
advantages over a simple struct?
None really, except perhaps automatic forwarding of operators
which is easy enough to do on a struct too (and with a struct,
you can do only the ones that actually make sense for you).
Typedef has a few major disadvantages too - surprising
behavior if you forget the second parameter, for example. The
library typedef should really be removed.
Thank you. I was hoping that struct was a good approach, I've
just never seen anyone recommending it, so I wanted to check.
FWIW, I've seen a lot of user-defined types made with structs in
the code of C-ported libs, and was sure that is a common approach.
