What is POD ? The data descriptors live the lifetime of
the app and are built at compile time to save runtime.
"Performance is a Feature" applies to all software:
http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/06/performance-is-a-feature.html
I gained 100X in speed when I converted my app from
smalltalk to C++ and do not intend to give it back over
some language semantics. Besides that, the data descriptors
are contained in almost 100 classes (this particular class
is the biggest at 525) and changing this code would be
un-needful.
Please note that I got my original question answered and
I really appreciate that. It means that my current data
storage descriptor design is extensible and that meets my
needs for now.
Thanks,
Lynn
