What is the easiest way to print a variadic parameter pack using std::ostream?

by

Without recursive calls and commas where you wanted.

In c++11 / c++14 through parameter pack expansion:

template <typename Arg, typename... Args>
void doPrint(std::ostream& out, Arg&& arg, Args&&... args)
{
    out << std::forward<Arg>(arg);
    using expander = int[];
    (void)expander{0, (void(out << ',' << std::forward<Args>(args)), 0)...};
}

DEMO

In c++17 using fold expressions:

template <typename Arg, typename... Args>
void doPrint(std::ostream& out, Arg&& arg, Args&&... args)
{
    out << std::forward<Arg>(arg);
    ((out << ',' << std::forward<Args>(args)), ...);
}
