The problem when i try to introduce variadic template, is i
can't seem to understand how to unwrap the parameter as
pointer type T -> T*
```D
struct Includes(Args...) { alias args = Args; }
void view_it(Includes)(void function(entity_t, Includes.args*
) cb)
{
// do stuff
}
```
I get the following:
```Error: cannot have pointer to `(EEntityRemoved)```
You can use [`std.meta.staticMap`][1] to make each type into a
pointer individually:
```d
import std.meta;
alias Args = AliasSeq!(int, string, double);
struct Includes { alias args = Args; }
struct entity_t {}
alias PointerTo(T) = T*;
void view_it(void function(entity_t, staticMap!(PointerTo,
Includes.args) ) cb)
{
// do stuff
}
```
However, this will probably not work very well in your original
code where `view_it` is a template, because the presence of
`staticMap` in the parameter list will prevent the compiler
from automatically deducing the template parameters.
So, in this case, I think a better solution is to make the type
of the callback fully generic, and use a template constraint to
enforce your requirements:
```d
import std.meta: allSatisfy;
import std.traits: isPointer;
void view_it(Callback)(Callback cb)
if (
is(Callback == void function(entity_t, Args), Args...)
&& allSatisfy!(isPointer, Args)
)
{
// do stuff
}
```

Looks like my previous message did not get sent, i might have
pressed on the wrong button
Thanks for the snippet, i ended up copying the code from the
imports, since importing the modules tanks my compile speed
Although i'd prefer not rely on generic callback since i want to
keep code completion, so i'll have to dig a little more, but
that's for later, the solution works for now
