Take a look at the C++/Tree Mapping Customization Guide:

http://wiki.codesynthesis.com/Tree/Customization_guide

There is also a bunch of examples in the examples/cxx/tree/custom/
directory.

The best approach would be to request the generation of the
'base' type and make the actual type a typedef to a template
instantiation, for example:

--custom-type angle=MyClass<angle_base>/angle_base

This way you will get something like this in the generated code:

class angle_base: ...
{
  // Standard mapping
};

typedef MyClass<angle_base> angle;

The MyClass class template would normally look like this:

template <typename X>
class MyClass: public X
{
  ...
};
