I have just completed implementing support for "Variadic Templates" in GCC. Variadic templates are C++ templates that can accept any number of "extra" template arguments, just like a function that uses C-style varargs (with "...") can accept any number of extra arguments. Unlike C varags, however, variadic templates work both for class templates and function templates, and are completely type-safe. Doug, I read:
http://www.osl.iu.edu/~dgregor/cpp/variadic-templates.pdf section 3.2 on p. 8.
and thought I'd try this initialization, but with the attached I got:
/home/evansl/download/gcc/variadic-templates/gcc-4.1.1/install/bin/g ++ -c -Wall -ftemplate-depth-100 -O0 -fno-inline -I/home/evansl/ prog_dev/boost-cvs/ro/boost/sandbox/variadic-templates - I"../../../../.." -I"../../../../../../.." vinit.cpp -o vinit.gccv.o vinit.cpp:17: error: too many initializers for 'test' make: *** [vinit.gccv.o] Error 1
What am I doing wrong?
Well, you're not doing anything wrong. That section of the proposal was meant to be a "if the initializer lists proposal is accepted, then it would act like this." I didn't actually mean to propose any changes to the initializer syntax, and so I didn't implement them. (That said, it's a relatively simple feature to implement, if we need it to test something out).
TIA. (BTW, this is a great addition to the language!)
Thanks! Cheers, Doug
