------- Additional Comments From bangerth at dealii dot org 2005-07-24 04:59 ------- I would imagine that in real world, there are either a rather small number of overloads of a name (less than five) or very many (more than 20 or 30). Most code I've seen don't use many overloads (falling into the first class) but there are a few cases in libstdc++, especially in the streams and strings libraries, that use very many overloads. I don't know if knowledge of such overload set size statistics help any in finding an appropriate data structure, though... W.
