Register fixed size string array-like type

[Belfer]

I have a string class with constant storage to avoid memory allocations on strings I know their fixed size, the class is defined as:

template <SizeType N>
class CString;

If I try to register a class with a property member of this type then the compiler will complain about not finding the type associated to it:
'rttr::type::get': no matching overloaded function found

Since it's a templated class I can't use the normal registration API, is there a workaround for this? Perhaps specialize some type implementation detail?

Looking through the docs I saw sequential_container_mapper, which btw is mostly the same documentation as the associative_container_mapper , so the info there is incorrect, however, looking at the header it refers to:
#include <sequential_mapper.h>

I found the following line of code:

template<typename T, std::size_t N>
struct sequential_container_mapper<std::array<T, N>> : detail::sequential_container_base_static<std::array<T, N>> {};

And while there is no specialization for the std::string type in this file, this is closer to what I'm trying to do.
If I can get a pointer to where the string type specialization is located I can work off that.

You can only register a property to a CString<XXX> with a concrete template value. Otherwise the type is incomplete.

Yeah I know, that's why I was looking for a solution similar to a sequential container type, or a specialization for string like types

you could make type erasure for your type?
A CStringRef which holds a CString<XXX>

And then register the CStringRef with your property.

does this work for you?
