Array of multiple types
Hello guys,
ive written this code:
Code:
class boundList
{
struct node{ void *elem{nullptr}; node *next{nullptr}; };
node anchor;
node *_Last;
public:
template<typename node1_t>
boundList(node1_t *f_elem)
{
anchor.elem = f_elem;
_Last = &anchor;
}
template<typename _Item>
void append(_Item* n_elem)
{
_Last->next = new node{n_elem};
_Last = _Last->next;
}
template<typename _OutType>
_OutType get(const int index)
{
int i = 0;
node *tmp = &anchor;
while (i < index)
{
tmp = tmp->next;
i++;
}
return *static_cast<_OutType*>(tmp->elem);
}
~boundList()
{
node *tmp = anchor.next;
node *next;
while (tmp != _Last)
{
next = tmp->next;
delete tmp;
tmp = next;
}
}
};
to create a class that takes any types and puts them together by storing the next pointer and so on. I then realized i have to convert them to void * to be able to do so. Now, if any object is requestes by the user, he has to provide the index AND its type to convert back from void*.
how can I get it to only have to pass the index and have boudList figure out the type itself and return the correct type?
Ive seen that std::tuble is capable of doing so, so there must be a possibility?!
Thanks in advance
