Generic Collection Classes
Generic collection classes are those which use the <generic.h> preprocessor macros supplied
with your C++ compiler. They can approximate templates, in the sense that they are typesafe,
for compilers that do not support templates, and so are highly portable. However, because they
depend heavily on the preprocessor, it can be difficult to use a debugger on code that contains
them. See
Chapter 12 for more information.
