Variadic templates

Question

I have seen a lot of links introducing the variadic templates. But I have never seen any compilable example that demonstrates this approach.

Could someone provide me

Answer 1

This is an example of variadic templates that I put up on my blog: http://thenewcpp.wordpress.com/2011/11/23/variadic-templates-part-1-2/

It compiles. It demonstrates finding the largest type from a group of types.

#include 

template 
struct find_biggest;

//the biggest of one thing is that one thing
template 
struct find_biggest
{
  typedef First type;
};

//the biggest of everything in Args and First
template 
struct find_biggest
{
  typedef typename find_biggest::type next;
  typedef typename std::conditional
  <
    sizeof(First) >= sizeof(next),
    First,
    next
  >::type type;
};
