This is a follow-up question to my previous one. I am building an Array class with basic vector math functionality. I want to define a function that lets a user map an arbitrary function over the entire array. I can already do this for predefined, binary functions (say, operator+=
for in-place addition), but I am struggling to see how this could be done for an arbitrary number of inputs.
template<typename T, size_t ... Ns>
class Array
{
public:
Array() { /* allocate memory of size product(Ns) * sizeof(T) */ }
~Array() { /* deallocate memory */ }
inline Array<T, Ns...>& operator+=(const Array<T, Ns...> &rhs)
{
// simple case: predefined operation on exactly two Arrays
T *p1 = data, *p2 = rhs.data;
while (p1 != data + size) { *p1 += *p2; p1++; p2++; }
return *this;
}
template<class ... Args>
inline const Array<T, Ns...> map(T (*fn)(arg_type<Args>...), Args ... args)
{
// difficult case: arbitrary operations on a variable number of Arrays
}
private:
T *data;
size_t size;
}
// example usage
double f(double a, double b) { return a + b; }
Array<double,2> x, y, z;
x.map(f, y, z);
I would want something like this to loop over all elements in y
and z
, applying f
to them, and storing them in x
. I thought I could model it on my operator+=
function, but I haven't yet found a parameter pack expansion that would let me do anything similar (and compile).
