This paper describes a C ++ idiom for replacing types. This idiom allows effective and elegant implementations of patterns such as virtual object construction, message dispatching and tables. It also improves compile‐time checks and simultaneously allows rows to be added dynamically to tables.SmartEnums have been developed within a project of numerical software for microsystem simulation.
