Detailed Description

Provides seqan3::type_list and metaprogramming utilities for working on type lists and type packs.

All traits are defined in the header <seqan3/core/type_list/traits.hpp>.

Typedef Documentation

at [1/2]

template<ptrdiff_t idx, typename ... pack_t>

using seqan3::pack_traits::at = typedef typename decltype(detail::at<idx, pack_t...>())::type

Return the type at given index from the type pack.

Template Parameters

idx	The index; must be smaller than the size of the pack.
pack_t	The type pack.

Negative indexes are supported (e.g. at<-1, int, double, bool &> is bool &).

(Compile-time) Complexity

• Number of template instantiations: O(n)
• Other operations: O(n)

#include <seqan3/core/type_list/traits.hpp>
 
int main()
{
    // Look at the 2nd element.
    static_assert(std::same_as<float, seqan3::pack_traits::at<1, int, float, bool, double>>);
    // Look at the last element.
    static_assert(std::same_as<double, seqan3::pack_traits::at<-1, int, float, bool, double>>);
}

at [2/2]

template<ptrdiff_t idx, seqan3::detail::type_list_specialisation list_t>

using seqan3::list_traits::at = typedef typename decltype(detail::at<idx>(list_t{}))::type

Return the type at given index from the type list.

Template Parameters

idx	The index; must be smaller than the size of the type list.
list_t	The type_list.

Negative indexes are supported (e.g. at<-1, type_list<int, double, bool &>> is bool &).

(Compile-time) Complexity

• Number of template instantiations: O(n)
• Other operations: O(n)

#include <seqan3/core/type_list/traits.hpp>
 
int main()
{
    using list_t = seqan3::type_list<int, float, bool, double>;
 
    // Look at the 2nd element.
    static_assert(std::same_as<float, seqan3::list_traits::at<1, list_t>>);

Return a seqan3::type_list of the last n types in the type pack.

Template Parameters

i	The target size; must be >= 0 and <= the size of the type pack.
pack_t	The type pack.

• Number of template instantiations: O(n)
• Other operations: O(n)

{
    // Take the last two types in the pack.

transform [1/2]

template<template< typename > typename trait_t, typename ... pack_t>

using seqan3::pack_traits::transform = typedef seqan3::type_list<trait_t<pack_t>...>

Apply a transformation trait to every type in the pack and return a seqan3::type_list of the results.

Template Parameters

trait_t	The transformation trait, can be an alias template, e.g. a transformation trait shortcut.
pack_t	The type pack.

The transformation trait given as first argument can be an alias template, e.g. std::type_identity_t, not std::type_identity. The alias must take exactly one argument and be defined for all types in the pack.
