Is it possible to use boost::fusion::invoke function to call a function that has default arguments without specifying those?
Example:
void foo(int x, int y = 1, int z = 2)
{
std::cout << "The sum is: " << (x + y + z) << std::endl;
}
...
// This should call foo(0). It doesn't work because the type of foo is void (*) (int, int, int).
boost::fusion::invoke(foo, boost::fusion::vector<int>(0));
// Works
boost::fusion::invoke(foo, boost::fusion::vector<int, int, int>(0, 1, 2));
I am writing a wrapper for bindings to a scripting language and default arguments would greatly improve the intuitive feel for the users of the wrapper. I am afraid though that the standard has not covered this case.
A side note:
I know one could work around it using functors:
struct foo {
void operator() (int x, int y = 1, int z = 2) { /* ... */ }
};
// Works because the functor adds an indirection
boost::fusion::invoke(foo(), boost::fusion::vector<int>(0));
This is however not an option as I don't want to force the users to create functors just to specify default arguments.
