Populate An Array Using Constexpr at Compile-time

by

Ignoring ALL the issues, indices to the rescue:

template<unsigned... Is> struct seq{};
template<unsigned N, unsigned... Is>
struct gen_seq : gen_seq<N-1, N-1, Is...>{};
template<unsigned... Is>
struct gen_seq<0, Is...> : seq<Is...>{};

template<unsigned... Is>
constexpr Table MagicFunction(seq<Is...>){
  return {{ whichCategory(Is)... }};
}

constexpr Table MagicFunction(){
  return MagicFunction(gen_seq<128>{});
}

Live example.
