Description Mathieu Lacage 2008-11-25 05:05:19 UTC

It would be nice if we could overload our SetAttribute methods to provide a version like this
SetAttribute (std::string name, std::string value)
{
  SetAttribute (name, StringValue (value));
}

This is purely syntactical sugar, I know.

This bug is on the ns-3.3 hot list and needs to be resolved one way or another.
