Implementing variadic min / max functions

Question

I\'m implementing variadic min/max functions. A goal is to take advantage of the compile time known number of arguments and perform an unrolled evaluation (

Answer 1

I appreciate the thought Yakk put into return types so I wouldn't have to, but it gets a lot simpler:

template
T&& vmin(T&& val)
{
    return std::forward(val);
}

template
auto vmin(T0&& val1, T1&& val2, Ts&&... vs)
{
    return (val1 < val2) ?
      vmin(val1, std::forward(vs)...) :
      vmin(val2, std::forward(vs)...);
}

Return type deduction is pretty awesome (may require C++14).
