for loop elimination

Question

I\'d like to use the indices trick to eliminate for loops in my C++11 program (similar to forced -funroll-loops).

Here\'s an example:

Try this ( http://liveworkspace.org/code/e65a81d0d3e9b17692713fd3e9d681f5 ):

template struct indices {};

template struct indices_gen
  : indices_gen
{};

template struct indices_gen : indices
{};

Edit : Check Xeo's comment. Above example don't check if S < E, so it can go bad if you make a mistake. This (Xeo's code) will return a compiler error in such case: http://liveworkspace.org/code/81205e13334e89537bdc0b79b3ba56fc
