boost::array 型のメンバ変数を初期化子リストで初期化する

追記: 名前を変更 (elements → braced2).boost::array に限らず { { args... } } で初期化できるものなら大体使えます.また少し変更すれば { args... } などで初期化することもできます.
C++03 では,配列型のメンバ変数を初期化子リストで初期化することはできません (参照).しかし,boost::array であれば,変換関数を使って初期化子リストでの初期化を実現することができます.

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/array.hpp>
#include <boost/range/iterator_range.hpp>
#include "braced2.hpp"

struct T_hello
{
    boost::array<std::string, 5> m_words;

    T_hello()
      : m_words(braced2("Hello", ", ", "world", "!"))
        // the 5th element is value-initialized
    {}

    void operator()() const
    {
        std::cout << boost::make_iterator_range(m_words) << "\n";
    }
};

T_hello const hello;

int main()
{
    hello();
}

Sandbox の assign_v2 にも似たようなものがありますが,C++03 用の実装は残念な感じでした.

おまけ

それ Boost.Egg でできるよ!
