digitalmars.D.learn - Using template typetuples?

reply Sean Eskapp <eatingstaples gmail.com> writes:
The language documentation covers some basic uses of TypeTuples in templates,
but nothing about using them with classes. I would like a template class,
which essentially wraps a function, which has template parameters for return
value and template tuple arguments.

However, what if I want to convert a TypeTuple of int, double, string to its
respective Function-wrapped TypeTuple, i.e. Function!int, Function!double,
Function!string. Is there any way to do so?

std.typetuple has staticMap, which sounds like what you want:

alias TypeTuple!( int, double, string ) tup;

alias staticMap!( Function, tup ) functions;

Is this what you want?

That looks like it.. only, it's not working:

void main()
{
	TypeTuple!(int, int) foo;
	foo[0] = 1;
	foo[1] = 2;

	double MakeStuff(in int bar)
	{
		return cast(double)bar;
	}

	auto foobar = staticMap!(MakeStuff)(foo);
}

This fails compilation with the error "Error: function expected before (), not
()
of type ()"

Nevermind, I see my error.
Thank you!
