Abstract

This paper shows and discusses the realization of advanced data structures used in the UML specification (namely subsets, unions, and subset-unions) for a C++ execution engine. Those data structures have been realized thanks to the use of variadic templates, which were first introduced in C++11. Thanks to those templates which allow to take as parameters a non-fixed number of elements in an elegant manner, it has been possible to automatically generate from the Ecore and UML ecore models type-safe data structures which avoid elements being duplicated or the generation of additional lists during run-time. A performance analysis is presented to show how our implementation behaves compared to the other possible approaches.
