BOOST_HANA_NAMESPACE_BEGIN
|
|
//! Invoke a function with the elements of a Foldable as arguments.
|
|
//! @ingroup group-Foldable
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Given a function and a foldable structure whose length can be known at
|
|
//! compile-time, `unpack` invokes the function with the contents of that
|
|
//! structure. In other words, `unpack(xs, f)` is equivalent to `f(x...)`,
|
|
//! where `x...` are the elements of the structure. The length of the
|
|
//! structure must be known at compile-time, because the version of `f`'s
|
|
//! `operator()` that will be compiled depends on the number of arguments
|
|
//! it is called with, which has to be known at compile-time.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! To create a function that accepts a foldable instead of variadic
|
|
//! arguments, see `fuse` instead.
|
|
//!
|
|
//!
|
|
//! @param xs
|
|
//! The structure to expand into the function.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! @param f
|
|
//! A function to be invoked as `f(x...)`, where `x...` are the elements
|
|
//! of the structure as-if they had been linearized with `to<tuple_tag>`.
|
|
//!
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Example
|
|
//! -------
|
|
//! @include example/unpack.cpp
|
|
//!
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Rationale: `unpack`'s name and parameter order
|
|
//! ----------------------------------------------
|
|
//! It has been suggested a couple of times that `unpack` be called
|
|
//! `apply` instead, and that the parameter order be reversed to match
|
|
//! that of the [proposed std::apply function][1]. However, the name
|
|
//! `apply` is already used to denote normal function application, an use
|
|
//! which is consistent with the Boost MPL library and with the rest of
|
|
//! the world, especially the functional programming community.
|
|
//! Furthermore, the author of this library considers the proposed
|
|
//! `std::apply` to have both an unfortunate name and an unfortunate
|
|
//! parameter order. Indeed, taking the function as the first argument
|
|
//! means that using `std::apply` with a lambda function looks like
|
|
//! @code
|
|
//! std::apply([](auto ...args) {
|
|
//! use(args...);
|
|
//! }, tuple);
|
|
//! @endcode
|
|
//!
|
|
//! which is undeniably ugly because of the trailing `, tuple)` part
|
|
//! on the last line. On the other hand, taking the function as a
|
|
//! second argument allows one to write
|
|
//! @code
|
|
//! hana::unpack(tuple, [](auto ...args) {
|
|
//! use(args...);
|
|
//! });
|
|
//! @endcode
|
|
//!
|
|
//! which looks much nicer. Because of these observations, the author
|
|
//! of this library feels justified to use `unpack` instead of `apply`,
|
|
//! and to use a sane parameter order.
