C++11 Observers Pass parameters on Notify - c++11

Question

I'm coming from C# and trying to implement a simple Events/EventHandler pattern in c++11 which i believe the common name is Observers and signals, i know there are boost library and others but i dont want to use any external libs.
While searching online I found a simple implementation for what I need, so I took and modified the code and it works ok.
My problem is that the parameters are passed when registering events/observers, and not when raising/signaling/notifying which I find a bit awkward.
class EventManager
{
private:
static std::map<EventType, std::vector<std::function<void()>>> _eventHandlers;
public:
EventManager() = default;
template <typename EventHandler>
static void RegisterEventHandler(EventType&& eventType, EventHandler&& eventHandler)
{
EventManager::_eventHandlers[std::move(eventType)].push_back(std::forward<EventHandler>(eventHandler));
}
static void Raise(const EventType& event)
{
for (const auto& eventHandler : EventManager::_eventHandlers.at(event))
{
eventHandler();
}
}
// disallow copying and assigning
EventManager(const EventManager&) = delete;
EventManager& operator=(const EventManager&) = delete;
};
Can anyone help me to extend the following code by adding the functionality to accept parameters when raising the event as well ?

I believe this solves your question:
// g++ -std=c++11 -o /tmp/events /tmp/events.cpp && /tmp/events
// handler=1 arg=1
// handler=2 arg=1
// handler=1 arg=2
// handler=2 arg=2
#include <functional>
#include <map>
#include <vector>
template<class EventType, class... HandlerArgs>
class EventManager
{
public:
using EventHandler = std::function< void(HandlerArgs...) >;
void register_event(EventType&& event, EventHandler&& handler)
{
_handlers[std::move(event)].push_back(std::forward<EventHandler>(handler));
}
void raise_event(const EventType& event, HandlerArgs&&... args)
{
for (const auto& handler: EventManager::_handlers.at(event)) {
handler(std::forward<HandlerArgs>(args)...);
}
}
private:
std::map<EventType, std::vector<EventHandler>> _handlers;
};
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
EventManager<int, int> m;
m.register_event(1, [](int arg) { printf("handler=%d arg=%d\n", 1, arg); });
m.register_event(1, [](int arg) { printf("handler=%d arg=%d\n", 2, arg); });
m.raise_event(1, 1);
m.raise_event(1, 2);
}
PS: I removed all the code regarding non-copiability and such, since it is not relevant to this question.

Answer 2

Since i havent got any answers on this, i figured a way to do so but i dont like it since i wanted a better way but well creating a static class that has static variables for each event, before raising the event , the caller will set those variables and the handler will read then reset them . this is dangerous approach especially with multi-threading since one or more threads might change the values while raising same event by mutli threads, so i had to implement some locking features to ensure thread safety.
Yes i know its not the best approach but as i'm not an expert in C++ and this question didnt get any comments nor answers, so this is the approach im following.
