Template deduction for constructors allows us to declare a deduction guide
that maps from potential usage to the actual template type. These deduction
guides do not prevent a type from being an aggregate. So with a guide, this
will work:
template<typename T1, typename T2>
struct new_pair
{
T1 t1;
T2 t2;
};
template<typename T1, typename T2>
new_pair(T1, T2) -> new_pair<T1, T2>;
new_pair{12.3f, 90}; //T1 = float, T2 = int.
Does that mean that it is possible to make this work with `std::array`:
auto arr = std::array{2, 3, 1, 4, 44, 23}; //type is deduced as int, size
is deduced as 6.
I'm thinking of a guide like this:
template<typename T>
std::array(T ...ts) -> std::array<T, sizeof...(ts);
Or if not that, what about:
template<typename Ts...>
std::array(Ts ...ts) -> std::array<std::common_type_t<T...>, sizeof...(ts)>;
If the current syntax doesn't allow a way to deduce the number of
parameters... is there a way to *make* it work with some small change to
the functionality?
