Use C++14 integral_sequence, or its invariant index_sequence
#include <iostream>
template< int ... I > struct index_sequence{
using type = index_sequence;
using value_type = int;
static constexpr std::size_t size()noexcept{ return sizeof...(I); }
};
// making index_sequence
template< class I1, class I2> struct concat;
template< int ...I, int ...J>
struct concat< index_sequence<I...>, index_sequence<J...> >
: index_sequence< I ... , ( J + sizeof...(I) )... > {};
template< int N > struct make_index_sequence_impl;
template< int N >
using make_index_sequence = typename make_index_sequence_impl<N>::type;
template< > struct make_index_sequence_impl<0> : index_sequence<>{};
template< > struct make_index_sequence_impl<1> : index_sequence<0>{};
template< int N > struct make_index_sequence_impl
: concat< make_index_sequence<N/2>, make_index_sequence<N - N/2> > {};
// now, we can build our structure.
template < class IS > struct mystruct_base;
template< int ... I >
struct mystruct_base< index_sequence< I ... > >
{
static constexpr int array[]{I ... };
};
template< int ... I >
constexpr int mystruct_base< index_sequence<I...> >::array[] ;
template< int N > struct mystruct
: mystruct_base< make_index_sequence<N > >
{};
int main()
{
mystruct<20> ms;
//print
for(auto e : ms.array)
{
std::cout << e << ' ';
}
std::cout << std::endl;
return 0;
}
output: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
UPDATE:
You may use std::array:
template< int ... I >
static constexpr std::array< int, sizeof...(I) > build_array( index_sequence<I...> ) noexcept
{
return std::array<int, sizeof...(I) > { I... };
}
int main()
{
std::array<int, 20> ma = build_array( make_index_sequence<20>{} );
for(auto e : ma) std::cout << e << ' ';
std::cout << std::endl;
}
