I'm reading Modern C++ Design, and it is saying "Variable template
parameters simply don't exist."
But I find VC7.1 & VC8 support this feature.Who can tell me that which is
right -_-b
Many thanks.

Have you heard about "context"? Some statements have context.

I am not aware of any compiler supporting variadic template parameters.
I am sorry, but what's the context?

However, in practice this type of template can be created for some
upper number of N. Look at many examples from TR1 and Boost (tuple,
MPL, array, etc...). I'd be surprised if that book doesn't describe
these techneques but I haven't read the whole thing and certainly don't
know it by heart so I can't say what part the OP is talking about.

Yes, you can do it, but it's ghastly. To support 0..N arguments you have
to write N+1 templates. Which is why C++0x will probably have
variable-length argument lists for templates.

In 'Modern C++ Design', he uses that technique to design type lists
and function wrappers. It is tedious and best done with something like
m4 or boost::preproce ssor. Than again, having type lists, I see no
reason why you couldn't use them to emulate variadic template
parameters, up to the maximum length of the type lists.
But that is not a true variadic template like the ones you have in D.

I haven't looked at the details there, but from a glance it seems like
that's just part of a divide and conquer approach for the preprocessor,
where each of those templates in turn generates 10 template classes.
Sooner or later you have to decide which template arguments are real and
which ones aren't.
Of course, any program that needs to pass more than ten template
arguments is out of control. <g>

Possible, but it would be surprising. Compiler output from errors
indicate the final types contain the default values; at least when
using MPL vector. But I haven't done a lot of looking either.

Well, the basic dimensional analysis idiom requires something like 8 or
9 so more than 10 isn't really outside reason in metaprogramming . This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Can you please explain to me the difference between a xsl:param and a

point? A small example would help me a lot.

can anybody summarise all options for partial template specialization,

I *think* I understand options for partial specialization on type
parameters - in place of a template argument one can construct arbitrary

I see that static is more restricted in C# than in C++. It appears
usable only on classes and methods, and data members, but cannot be
created within a method itself. Surely this is possible in C# in some
way? Or maybe no, because it is similar to a global variable (with its
scope restricted) which C# is dead against?
