Copy MPL sequence at runtime?
Evening all,
I'd like to copy the contents of a boost::mpl::vector_c (or similar)
into an output iterator at runtime. I've not found a clean way to get
an MPL sequence into a runtime-usable form. So far, I've gotten the
included ugliness to work.
0) Is there some simple, idiomatic way to accomplish this goal that I've missed?
1) Any suggestions for how to clean this up? Specifically ways to
reduce the assumptions about the underlying MPL sequence or fixes for
braindead mistakes I've made?
2) Is there some way to have syntax like 'seqcopy<S>(iter)' where the
iterator type is deduced but the sequence type is explicit?
Thanks,
Rhys

Good morning, 0) the "only" run-time stuff in the MPL is mpl::for_each. 1) See attached, I guess this could be considered a bit cleaner. 2) Probably easiest by writing a function that does the type deduction for you. But ... Perhaps Boost.Fusion is what you are looking for? Hope this helps, Cheers, Rutger

Chapter 9 of the book c++ template metaprogramming from Abrahams and Gurtovoy gives an explanation about mpl::for_each with type visitation. hth Cheers, Kim

How about this

Thank you for the help Rutger, Kim, and Steven, and especially for the
mpl::for_each examples and the copy functor.
The more complete use case was to turn an MPL sequence into a form
usable within an initialization list for either boost::array or
something requiring an iterator. For completeness, the helper class I
finally went with is below.
I appreciate your expertise,
Rhys
