An Enumeration to const char * translation template Documentation

This is an example of a template that can be used to translate enumeration values into strings (which will usually be a string version of the enumeration name). These enumerations can be packaged within a class, which avoids making the enumeration identifiers global.

The template is EnumTranslate

Two example classes are included, class Fruit and class Numbers. These classes define local enumeration sets and instantiate the EnumTranslate template.

Each instance of the template has its own static table used to translate between enumeration values and C strings.
