I'm using Visual Studio Community 2015, and I'm attempting to implement a parallel vector template. This is a learning exercise for me, as I've yet to master variadic templates. The expansion is not working as expected.
What I expect from get_elems is a tuple of references of the parameter pack types of the corresponding vector indices. What I get is a tuple of only the first type in the parameter pack.
I tested with a parallel_vector<int, char>
.
template <typename... Elems>
class parallel_vector
{
using t_data_type = std::tuple<std::vector<Elems>...>;
using reference_type = std::tuple < Elems&... >;
t_data_type data_;
// Example 1
// C2440 'return': cannot convert from 'std::tuple<int &>' to 'std::tuple<int &,char &>'
template <size_t... N>
auto get_elems(std::index_sequence<N...>, size_t index)
{
return std::forward_as_tuple(std::get<N>(data_)[index]...);
}
// Example 2
// C2440 '<function-style-cast>': cannot convert from 'int' to 'std::tuple<int &,char &>'
template <size_t... N>
reference_type get_elems(std::index_sequence<N...>, size_t index)
{
return reference_type(std::get<N>(data_)[index]...);
}
public:
reference_type operator[](size_t index)
{
return get_elems(std::index_sequence_for<Elems>{}, index);
}
};
The errors are in the code comments. These are what I have tried. I presume I have a fundamental misunderstanding of variadic templates. Please advise.
This is ill-formed for using a parameter pack unexpanded:
reference_type operator[](size_t index)
{
return get_elems(std::index_sequence_for<Elems>{}, index);
// ^^^^^
}
which seems to confuse MSVC into thinking that it's actually a single type, so that index_sequence_for<Elems>
becomes make_index_sequence<1>
which is index_sequence<0>
.
The fix is to expand it:
reference_type operator[](size_t index)
{
return get_elems(std::index_sequence_for<Elems...>{}, index);
// ^^^
}
