How to reverse the order of arguments of a variadic template function?

Overall approach and usage The overal approach consists in packing the arguments into an std::tuple of references, exploiting the perfect forwarding machinery of std::forward_as_tuple(). This means that, at run-time, you should incur in very small overhead and no unnecessary copy/move operations. Also, the framework does not use recursion (apart from compile-time recursion, which is unavoidable … Read more

How to create variable argument methods in Objective-C

What these are called, generally, is “variadic functions” (or methods, as it were). To create this, simply end your method declartion with , …, as in – (void)logMessage:(NSString *)message, …; At this point you probably want to wrap it in a printf-like function, as implementing one of those from scratch is trying, at best. – … Read more

Ambiguous varargs methods

There are 3 phases used in overload resolution (JLS 15.2.2): The first phase (§15.12.2.2) performs overload resolution without permitting boxing or unboxing conversion, or the use of variable arity method invocation. If no applicable method is found during this phase then processing continues to the second phase. The second phase (§15.12.2.3) performs overload resolution while … Read more

How to count the number of arguments passed to a function that accepts a variable number of arguments?

You can’t. You have to manage for the caller to indicate the number of arguments somehow. You can: Pass the number of arguments as the first variable Require the last variable argument to be null, zero or whatever Have the first argument describe what is expected (eg. the printf format string dictates what arguments should … Read more

How can you pass multiple primitive parameters to AsyncTask?

Just wrap your primitives in a simple container and pass that as a parameter to AsyncTask, like this: private static class MyTaskParams { int foo; long bar; double arple; MyTaskParams(int foo, long bar, double arple) { this.foo = foo; this.bar = bar; this.arple = arple; } } private class MyTask extends AsyncTask<MyTaskParams, Void, Void> { … Read more

What is the meaning of “… …” token? i.e. double ellipsis operator on parameter pack

Every instance of that oddity is paired with a case of a regular single ellipsis. template<typename _Res, typename… _ArgTypes> struct _Weak_result_type_impl<_Res(_ArgTypes…)> { typedef _Res result_type; }; template<typename _Res, typename… _ArgTypes> struct _Weak_result_type_impl<_Res(_ArgTypes……)> { typedef _Res result_type; }; template<typename _Res, typename… _ArgTypes> struct _Weak_result_type_impl<_Res(_ArgTypes…) const> { typedef _Res result_type; }; template<typename _Res, typename… _ArgTypes> struct _Weak_result_type_impl<_Res(_ArgTypes……) … Read more
