# c++ ## Type deduction Force compile error to see what `auto` is deduced to. ```cpp auto foo = bar(); // force compile error typename decltype(foo)::_; ``` ## Variadic templates ([parameter pack][parameter-pack]) ```cpp {{#include c++/meta.cc:3:}} ``` ## Example: `any_of` template meta function ```cpp {{#include c++/meta3.cc:3:}} ``` ## Example: [SFINAE][sfinae] ([enable_if][enable-if]) Provide a single entry point `Invoke` to call some `Operations`. Use `enable_if` to enable/disable the template functions depending on the two available traits an operation can have: - Operation returns a result - Operation requires a context ```cpp {{#include c++/meta2.cc:3:}} ``` [gist-strict-asliasing]: https://gist.github.com/shafik/848ae25ee209f698763cffee272a58f8 [parameter-pack]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/parameter_pack [enable-if]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/enable_if [sfinae]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/sfinae
