Summary
Implements static polymorphism in the C++ version using the Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (CRTP) as requested in issue #79.
• Added missing
Polymorph.h- Provides CRTP base class implementation• Enables compile-time polymorphism - Methods resolve statically without virtual function overhead
• Preserves existing API - All current code using
this->object()works unchanged• Comprehensive testing - Added test cases demonstrating functionality
Implementation Details
The
Polymorph<TSelf>class provides:object()method returning reference to derived class (TSelf&)const object()method for read-only accessconstexprandnoexceptqualifiers for optimal performancePattern Usage
Test Plan
✅ Basic CRTP functionality - Verified static dispatch works correctly
✅ Collections pattern - Tested with simulated DoublyLinkedList methods
✅ Compilation - Ensures no build errors with new header
✅ Performance - All method calls resolve at compile time
