Hi,
std::min accepts only two arguments. When I have more than two arguments to compare, it becomes inconvenient. I'm wondering it is possible to added a min function that accepts any number of arguments in the future version of boost?
Yes, it could probably be done with pseudo-vararg preprocessor magic.
However, the next standard contains a real vararg min. Given that, the question is how many people are willing to invest the effort. Pseudo-vararg code is a mess.
Since Pseudo-vararg code is a mess, we may not what to do it at this moment. But GCC has an option -std=c++0x, can the variadic version min (non-pseudo) be added in boost at least to support GCC before the upcoming C++ standard finalized? Thanks, Peng
