So, in C the standard way is stdarg.h. But I'm looking to pull up something a bit like this:
template<int A>
class MyClass {
public:
MyClass(...) {
// fill each value of array with an argument.
};
virtual ~MyClass() { };
private:
float array[A];
};
Obviously, the idea is not to have different constructions for every possible amount of arguments. Any suggestions, standard ways, whatsoever?
Thanks,

In C++11 you can use an std::initializer_list constructor for this kind of scenario. That allows for this type of initialization:
MyClass<5> x{1,2,3,4,5};
although you have to define what happens when the dimensions do not match. But for these kinds of statically sized arrays, it is worth looking at std::array. These have a well defined behaviour when the dimensions of the initializer don't match their own.
you need to use initializer_list
explicit MyClass(std::initializer_list<T> list_args){
// fill each value of array with an argument.
};
If you don't have access to C++11 initializer_lists you can just pass a vector.
MyClass(const std::vector& values) {
//copy values into array
};
MyClass someClass( std::vector<int>(10,4) ); //adds 10x 4 to the vector
