9 // Automatic marshalling wrappers for RPC handlers
13 // C++11 does neither of these two things for us:
14 // 1) Declare variables using a parameter pack expansion, like so
16 // 2) Call a function with a tuple of the arguments it expects
18 // We implement an 'invoke' function for functions of the RPC handler
19 // signature, i.e. int(R & r, const Args...)
21 // One thing we need in order to accomplish this is a way to cause the compiler
22 // to specialize 'invoke' with a parameter pack containing a list of indices
23 // for the elements of the tuple. This will allow us to call the underlying
24 // function with the exploded contents of the tuple. The empty type
25 // tuple_indices<size_t...> accomplishes this. It will be passed in to
26 // 'invoke' as a parameter which will be ignored, but its type will force the
27 // compiler to specialize 'invoke' appropriately.
