To workaround the lack of variadic arguments, multiple template specializations are declared for the Callback class based on the number of arguments. This is not required in C++11.
To avoid the tedious of updating the multiple declarations, the Callback class was ported to a jinja template, which is expanded on changes to the Callback class.
Note: The generated Callback.h file is also committed, and jinja is not necessary to compile the Callback class.
Using j2cli (link):
j2 Callback.j2 > Callback.h
Let me know what your thoughts are about including these files, if there is a better place for them, or if there is a different templating engine we should use.
