I'd like to propose a new function for the Boost Array library named make_array(). The function constructs a fixed size array given N arguments and is similar to the make_pair() and make_tuple() functions. [...] The code is available on github at https://github.com/kylelutz/make_array
Sorry if it's a genuine question... But in the case of C++11, wouldn't it be simpler to use an expansion instead of the "push_array" function? Something like this: #include <array> template<typename Head, typename... Args> struct get_first { typedef Head type; }; template<typename... Args> std::array<typename get_first<Args...>::type, sizeof...(Args)> make_array(Args&&... args) { return std::array<typename get_first<Args...>::type, sizeof...(Args)> { { args... } }; } Usage: auto my_array = make_array(1, 2, 3); static_assert(std::is_same<std::array<int, 3>, decltype(arr)>::value, "Error"); for(int v: arr) { std::cout << v << " "; } Tested with G++ 4.7.2, the "static_assert" does not fail. But maybe I'm missing something obvious... -- (o< | Yves Bailly | -o) //\ | Linux Dijon : http://www.coagul.org | //\ \_/ | | \_/`
