Alright, let's dive into this. You're looking to modify your function to not use the `auto` keyword with parameter packs but instead use a template parameter. The thing is, when we talk about replacing `auto` with a template parameter in a situation like yours, it gets a bit tricky due to how parameter packs work with templates and concepts.
Your initial function definition is pretty sleek because it uses C++20 concepts (`std::same_as`) alongside `auto` to enforce that all arguments passed to `IsKeyDown` must be of the same type as `KeyCode`. This is cool because it gives you compile-time type checking right off the bat.
However, when you're looking to shift away from `auto` and use a template parameter list directly, you'd typically define a template that applies a concept to a type parameter. Unfortunately, the direct translation you're asking for, using `std::same_as<KeyCode>` directly in a template parameter list for a function, isn't how concepts are applied in template parameter lists. Here's how you can achieve a similar effect:
In this version, `template<typename... Keys>` declares that `IsKeyDown` is a function template that accepts a variadic template parameter list named `Keys`. This means you can pass any number of arguments of any types to `IsKeyDown`, as long as they all meet the requirement defined by the `requires` clause that follows.
The `requires` clause here uses a fold-expression over the logical AND operator (`&&`) combined with the `std::same_as` concept to ensure that every type in `Keys` is the same as `KeyCode`. It's a way to say "all types in `Keys` must be `KeyCode`," which aligns with your original intent but doesn't use `auto`.
This approach maintains the compile-time check you wanted, ensuring all arguments to the function are of type `KeyCode`, and it doesn't use `auto` in the parameter list directly. It's a bit more verbose but achieves the goal within the constraints of the language and how templates and concepts interact.
Remember, this approach leverages C++20 features heavily, so make sure your compiler and build environment are up to date to support this syntax.
