Is there C++14 equivalent for java's varargs?

I'm struggling to find a C++ (14) equivalent for the varargs we know from Java.

What I have tried:

I kinda (but not fully) understand variadic templates and functions, so what I think I'd like to do is something like this:

C++

template <typename... A>
void foo(A... a) { /*...*/ }

Now, while this works for a variable amount of parameters, I'd also like to be able to specify of which type all the types in A should be. For example in Java one could do:

Java

void oof(int... i) { /*...*/ }

Is there a clean way to achieve this in C++ 14?

With Java varags, all parameters are of the same type. It is basically the same as passing an array and it's size.

So you might use something like this instead:

C++

void foo(int *arr, size_t size);
void foo(std::vector<int>& arr);

Limiting templates to specific types only is just not the intention of templates. But it is possible and has been asked before: c++ - Restrict variadic template arguments - Stack Overflow[^].
