Re: [Boost-users] Help with tuples - repeated members

The objective would be to allow me to write a function template that looked something like this:

template <int N> tuple_clone fn(tuple_clone t) { tuple_clone ret; ret.get_head() = getValue(); ret.get_tail() = t; return ret; }

Each time I try to write tuple_clone, though, I end up stumped. Is it possible to write something like this, while leveraging the tuples library? Or is there a different approach I ought to look into?

Why is it that you can't use boost::array, which has a more convenient syntax when all of the values are of the same type? Doug
