This pull request implements the solution for issue #117 by refactoring LinksConstants to use template type parameters instead of non-type template parameters.
📋 Issue Reference
Fixes #117
🎯 Overview
Previously, the codebase used non-type template parameters like
LinksConstants<TLinkAddress> VConstants, requiring an instance/value of LinksConstants to be passed as a template parameter. This PR refactors the design to usetypename TLinksConstantsinstead, allowing LinksConstants to be passed as a type parameter.🔧 Implementation Details
Key Changes Made:
LinksOptions.h:
LinksConstants<TLinkAddress> VConstants = LinksConstants<TLinkAddress>{true}totypename TLinksConstants = LinksConstants<TLinkAddress>LinksConstantsTypetype aliasConstantsto usestatic constexpr TLinksConstants Constants{true}LinksConstants.h:
using LinkAddressType = TLinkAddress;for better type support in template contextsLinksConstantsExtensions.h:
LinksConstants<TLinkAddress> VLinksConstantstotypename TLinksConstantstypename TLinksConstants::LinkAddressTypestatic constexpr TLinksConstants constants{true}ILinks.h:

✅ Benefits
typename TLinksConstantsvsVConstants🔄 Migration
The change is designed to be backward compatible. Existing code that was using:
LinksOptions<TLinkAddress, LinksConstants<TLinkAddress>{true}, ...>Can now use:
🧪 Testing
The changes maintain the same interface and behavior. All template instantiations that previously worked continue to work with the new type-based approach.
