Convert constexpr struct to runtime

Question

I am trying to use a template class (here Foo), with a base type like:

• hana::tuple<hana::pair<hana::type<int>, Runtime>>with a Runtimeclass that, oddly enough, cannot be constepxr.

But a type can be built in several ways: why I use:

• hana::tuple<hana::pair<hana::type<int>, hana::type<Runtime>>> do work at compile time.

So, the question basically is how to convert from the first type of tuple to the second . I wonder if there is anything in hanathat that could help me. Or better yet, some tips on such a "conversion."

namespace hana = boost::hana;
using namespace hana::literals;

struct Runtime { std::vector<int> data; };

template < typename T >
struct Foo {
  T data;
};

constexpr decltype(auto)  convertMap(auto storageMap) {

return hana::make_type(hana::transform(
    storageMap,
    [] (auto pair) {
      return hana::make_pair(
        hana::first(pair),
        typename decltype(hana::typeid_(hana::second(pair)))::type {});
    }));
}

int main() {

  constexpr auto map = hana::make_tuple(
      hana::make_pair(hana::type_c<int>, hana::type_c<Runtime>)
      );

  constexpr auto result = convertMap(map);
  static_assert(result ==
     hana::type_c<hana::tuple<hana::pair<hana::type<int>, Runtime>>>);

  Foo<typename decltype(result)::type> test;
}

, ++ 1z convertMap hana::transform lambdas, constexpr, hana::make_type hana::type_c.

, , - constexpr, decltype(...){} "force constexpr":

template <typename T>
decltype(auto) convertMapImpl(T storageMap)
{
    return hana::make_type(hana::transform(storageMap, [](auto pair) {
        return hana::make_pair(hana::first(pair),
            typename decltype(hana::typeid_(hana::second(pair)))::type{});
    }));
}

template <typename T>
constexpr decltype(auto) convertMap(T storageMap)
{
    return decltype(convertMapImpl(storageMap)){};
}
