Re: [Boost-users] Passing dynamic arguments with boost?

I was hoping to be able to call one function with different args, wrapping those args somehow.

In python, I could call a function with a list, dict or tuple. Since this one object was the argument, it didn't matter what it contained.

I know I could pass a vector in C++, but this needs a single data type. In python I could call:

MyFunc((1, "2", anObject)) # - all in a tuple MyFunc(("aardvark", 42)) # another tuple

Anyway to replicate this very convenient functionality?

Make MyFunc a function template and use Boost.Range? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
