Question

In Javascript or ActionScript it’s possible to pass an object to a function or a constructor.

myfunction({myParam:1, myOtherParam:"hello"});

It is very useful when you have a lot of parameters to pass, IMO it makes using functions easier than using the classic approach.

myFunction(1,"hello");

Is there something similar in C++?

TIA

You can use the “named parameter idiom”:

Which would make your call look like:

f(1).myOtherParam("Hello")

See here for a comparison with Boost parameter.
