for variable number of arguments: void myFunction(std::vector<boost::any> &); or for arguments by name: void myFunction(std::map<std::string, boost::any> &); -----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Simon Pickles Sent: Friday, July 11, 2008 11:38 To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: [Boost-users] Passing dynamic arguments with boost? Hi, After programming with Python and switching back to C++, I am missing the flexibility of a scripted language. Specifically, I am annoyed at having to specify the arguments of a function at compile time. Is there anyway I can avoid specifying the exact arg structure? I thought boost might do this somehow? Say for example, I have a message handler function. I want to be able to send all sorts of arguments to the same function, which can then deduce what to do according to the data held in those args. I don't want to have to overload everything as I am passing these message handlers around using boost::function/boost::bind.
