List parameters

Hi,

I try this code:

template <typename Tinline
T const& max(T const& a, T const& b)
{
return a<b?b:a;
}

template <typename T, ... listinline
T const& max(T const& a, T const& b, list const& x)
{
return max(a, max(b, x));
}


But it not compile.
I have this message:
"error: expected identifier before '...' token"

I saw this sample in book "c++ templates: the complete guide"
i use wxWidgets with gcc compiler.

Is this code legal? is it compile?
If no how use list parameters in template?

This is from chapter 13, "Future Directions", where the authors are
discussing things that don't exist yet, but might in the future,
right???

David Harmon a écrit :Ok,
Thunks.

I try to do it with typeListe technique in modern c++.

But there'is function ellipsis like:

void f(int ...);

f(1, 2, 3);
f(45, 68 ,2 ,64 ,3598);

that compile. But it's not easy to use argument of this function.

It should be avoided.

There is already a patch to implement it in GCC.
