本文探讨了C++中模板元编程的概念及其如何支持编译时期的惰性数据类型实现。通过使用模式匹配及模板的部分特化等技术手段，文章详细介绍了如何创建可以表示无限数量元素的数据结构，例如所有自然数的序列，并给出素数筛选算法的实例。

C++ supports among others the generative paradigm by enabling the creation of programs executed in compile-time.This is called template metaprogramming(TMP), and is based on the language's flexible generic constructl, the

template.

One of the main reasons for our research is the introduction of compile-time lazy data types. Note that the aforementioned typelist and Boost::MPL containers are ¯nite structures, holding a limited number of types at the same
time. Contrarily, lazy data types are ¯nite structures representing an infnitenumber of elements, e.g. all natural numbers. A common example for the usage of lazy lists is the implementation of the Eratosthenes sieve algorithm producing arbitrarily many primes.

Our implementation relies on pattern matching using template partial spe-
cializations.
