Find the index of an element in a fusion map - c++

Question

I am struggling with a small piece of functionality I'm looking for.
I have a class which contains a fusion::map. I would like to use a variadic constructor to initialise the elements in that map.
I expect the easiest way to do this is to construct a fusion::vector from the constructor arguments, and then call for_each on the map, and setting each pair's value to its corresponding element in the vector.
However, in order to do this I need to calculate the index of the pair, based on its key type. (pair::first_type)
Can anyone help me?
Please see example code below:
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/fusion/container.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/sequence.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/mpl.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/has_key.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/algorithm.hpp>
#include <boost/mpl/transform.hpp>
namespace fusion = boost::fusion;
namespace mpl = boost::mpl;
// given a field, returns a fusion pair of <field, field::type>
template<class field>
struct make_pair
{
typedef typename fusion::result_of::make_pair<field, typename field::type>::type type;
};
// given a sequence of fields, returns a fusion map which maps field -> field::type
template<class... fields>
struct make_map
{
typedef typename boost::fusion::vector<fields...> vector;
typedef typename mpl::transform<vector, make_pair<mpl::_1>>::type pair_sequence;
typedef typename fusion::result_of::as_map<pair_sequence>::type type;
};
// initialise each member of a map with the corresponding element in the vector
template<typename vector>
struct init
{
init(vector& v) : _v(v) {}
template <typename pair>
void operator()(pair const& data) const
{
// TODO: use pair::first_type to find the index of this pair in the map, and set
// data.second to at_c<index>(_v);
}
vector& _v;
};
struct field1 { typedef int type; };
struct field2 { typedef int type; };
struct my_map
{
template<typename... args>
my_map(args... a)
{
typedef typename boost::fusion::vector<args...> vector;
vector arg_vec(a...);
fusion::for_each(_map, init<vector>(arg_vec));
}
typedef typename make_map<field1, field2>::type map;
map _map;
};
struct print
{
template <typename pair>
void operator()(pair const& data) const
{
std::cout << data.second << " ";
}
};
int main()
{
my_map m(1, 2);
fusion::for_each(m._map, print()); // should print '1 2'
return 0;
}

Answer 1

Answering my own question:
fusion::copy is all I needed:
fusion::copy(arg_vec, _map);

Answer 2

Adding another answer to my own question, this time for the use-case where the number of arguments is less than or equal to the number of elements in the map.
A working solution is below:

#include <boost/mpl/transform.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/copy.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/begin.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/next.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/key_of.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/iterator/key_of.hpp>
