C++ Design Pattern for Passing a Large Number of Parameters

Question

I have a reasonably-sized class that implements several logically-related algorithms (from graph theory). About 10-15 parameters are required as input to the algorithm. Thes

Answer 1

suggestion Why don't you do this instead:

class Algorithm {
public:
Algorithm::Algorithm(AlgorithmGlobals const & globals) : globals_(globals) {}

    void runAlgorithm(); // use globals_ inside this function

   private:
    const AlgorithmGlobals globals_;
    };

Now you can use it as such:

AlgorithmGlobals myglobals;
myglobals.somevar = 12;

Algorithm algo(myglobals);
