Template Shenanigans
summary
Concrete fixes and tools that actually change outcomes: how to extract deduced types at runtime with __PRETTY_FUNCTION__, or force compile‑time prints using an instantiation error or a deprecated static variable and the always_false trick; how to shrink error noise with camamilla; inspect generated code and template instantiations on cppinsights.io; use metashell for compiler‑level tracing; count constructor calls with tracer types; and measure compile time with -ftime-report, buildbench and metabench.
