Templator: Demo of a nice tool...
summary
A demo of a tool called Templator that integrates with Eclipse CDT / Cevelop and visualizes template instantiation chains, showing actual deduced types, selected overloads and even perfect forwarding examples so callers resolve to the concrete y overloads; it exposes surprises like the vector<bool specialization and that a variadic template instantiates unreachable base cases. It runs in the IDE, navigates instantiations interactively, uses CDT extensions (not a compiler), handles preprocessing partially, and works but has gaps for complex library corner cases.
