Oh. I get it now. That's a serious problem. One solution I can think of is
to have size_traits<T> have another member function... something like
static_sizeof(T const&). Unfortunately the only way that can work is if every
class in a class hierarchy implements a virtual member function static_size()
whose implementation is ALWAYS:
size_t static_size() const {
return sizeof( *this );
}
As for why the template trick doesn't work, I don't know yet. Perhaps it's
because XmlNode doesn't implement its own alloc_size() but instead inherits it
from Item (though I could have sworn I tested this and it worked).
