'How to pass template variadic arguments by reference in C++?
I want to get repeated inputs, therefore I made the function to get inputs with variety of types.
template <typename InputType>
void get_inputs(const std::string& placeholder, InputType& input){
std::cout << placeholder << ": ";
std::cin >> input;
}
template <typename InputType, typename... Args>
void get_inputs(const std::string& placeholder, InputType& input, Args... args){
get_inputs(placeholder, input);
get_inputs(args...);
}
int main(int, char**) {
std::string name;
int age;
double height;
get_inputs(
"name", name,
"age", age,
"height", height
);
std::cout << "INFO: " << name << ", " << age << ", " << height << std::endl;
return 0;
}
And if I enter like (the content enclosed in square bracket is user input)
Input
name: [example-name]
age: 20
height: 173.5
then the result must be
Output
INFO: example-name, 20, 173.5
However, the result is
Output
INFO: example-name, 1, 2.12785e-314
I noticed that only the first argument was passed by reference, and the remains were passed by value. I think the problem caused by not well-defined get_inputs functions. How can I solve it?
