Consider the following code:
template <class F, class... Args, class = std::void_t<>>
struct is_invokable
: std::false_type {};
template <class F, class... Args>
struct is_invokable<F, Args..., std::void_t<std::invoke_result_t<F, Args...>>>
: std::true_type {};
The goal is to have a trait that is able to tell whether a callable of type F
is invokable with arguments of type Args...
.
However, it fails to compile because:
error: parameter pack 'Args' must be at the end of the template parameter list
What is the (elegant) way to do this in C++17?
namespace details {
template <class F, class, class... Args>
struct is_invokable : std::false_type {};
template <class F, class... Args>
struct is_invokable<F, std::void_t<std::invoke_result_t<F, Args...>>, Args...>
: std::true_type {};
}
template <class F, class... Args>
using is_invokable=typename ::details::is_invokable<F, void, Args...>::type;
I propose an helper struct
(is_invokable_h
) and the use of std::tuple
to wrap the Args...
Something like
#include <type_traits>
#include <utility>
template <typename, typename, typename = void>
struct is_invokable_h : std::false_type
{};
template <typename F, typename ... Args>
struct is_invokable_h<F, std::tuple<Args...>,
std::void_t<std::invoke_result_t<F, Args...>>>
: std::true_type
{};
template <typename F, typename ... Args>
struct is_invokable : is_invokable_h<F, std::tuple<Args...>>
{};
int foo (int)
{ return 0; }
int main()
{
static_assert( true == is_invokable<decltype(foo), int>{} );
static_assert( false == is_invokable<decltype(foo), int, int>{} );
}
