Tags

A tag is a type of the form tag<T> for some arbitrary T. In the context of Boost.Flyweight, tags are syntactic artifacts used to differentiate instantiations of the class template flyweight which would otherwise be identical. Tagging a flyweight instantiation with a tag type local to a given context ensures that the global resources of that instantiation (for instance, the associated factory class) will not be unintentionally shared by other areas of the program.

For any type T, tag<T> is a suitable tag for use in instantiations of flyweight.
