POIs it possible to create a completely arbitrary private member tuple in a C++11 variadic class constructor?

Body
copied!<p>My apologies if this has been asked before - searched with no definite answer, and I'm beginning to wonder if it is even possible. I am trying to learn C++11 and have run into trouble with variadic templates. I think I grasp (finally) the concept of variadic function parameters, and why/how recursion is used to unwrap and process them, but am having trouble with a (I think) similar concept in class constructors.</p> <p>Suppose I want to create a variadic template class that has a mixed-type container (assume tuple) as a private member. Is it possible to push an arbitrary number of variously-typed objects into that tuple when the class object is constructed? Something like:</p> <pre><code>#include <tuple> // forward declaration - is this needed? template <class ... args> class myClass; template <class H, class ... T> class myClass <H, T ...> { private: std::tuple<anything can go here> mycontainer; public: myClass(const H& head, const T& ... tail) { push head into mycontainer; do some sort of recursion with tail; } } </code></pre> <p>I've been screwing around with std::tuple_cat and std::make_tuple and thought that I was on to something for a while, but no luck.</p> <p>It has been a long time since I've had anything to do with C++, so my apologies if I'm totally off my nut. I just started looking at this after doing some reading about the C++11 features.</p> <p>EDIT: Just adding that I'm on GCC 4.8.x and/or Visual Studio 2012</p>
