Since C++17 I can do
std::pair<int, double> init () {
return std::make_pair (1, 1.2);
}
void foo () {
const auto [x, y] = init ();
std::cout << x << " " << y << "\n";
}
That is cool, but is there any way I can initialize multiple members at once? I mean:
struct X {
X () : [x, y] {read_from_file_all_values ()} {}
std::pair<int, double> read_from_file_all_values () {
// open file, read all values, return all
return std::make_pair (1, 1.2);
}
const int x;
const double y;
};
I know, this does not work because of the syntax. I also know that I could store all the values in the appropriate std::pair
member inside X
and make getters which overload the ugly std::get<N> ()
syntax, but is there any way I can initialize multiple members with single init()
function? Since those members are const I can not do this in constructor's body.
Not using structured binding, but you could have a private constructor taking in a std::pair and init the consts. Then have your default constructor delegate to this constructor with the result of your function.
