I’m used to using x macros to have powerful code generation. One of the features I like specifically is that I can’t mess up the order of the values nor can I forget one.
I want to know if there’s a similar strategy for arrays and function params
For example:
If a library provides a function:
void foobar(std::string_view k, std::string_view l, std::string_view m);
and in my code base I have:
constexpr std::array<std::string_view, 3> kConstants{"one", "two", "three"};
Is there some expansion magic I can do to get something like:
foobar(kConstants);
Note for this to be useful to me I must do this without modifying foobar. I know I can do something like this with x macros.
>Solution :
You’re looking for std::apply:
std::apply(foobar, kConstants);
