To bind variables, the MySQL api wants their addresses - in my tiny example

If I just use something like setTarget in the example, it works fine, but then
when I try to set a bunch of them in one go I'm hosed because I can't get the
right addresses through the chain.
import std.stdio;
void*[2] vpa;
void setTarget(T)(ref T t, int i)
{
vpa[i] =&t;
}
void setSeveral(T...)(ref T args)
{
foreach (int i, arg; args)
setTarget(&arg, i);
}
//ref.d|19|Error: variable i cannot be read at compile time|

/*
void setSeveral2(T...)(ref T args)
{
for (int i = 0; i< args.length; i++)
setTarget(args[i], i);
}
*/
void main()
{
bool a;
int b;
setSeveral(a, b);
writefln("orig %x %x, set %x %x",&a,&b, vpa[0], vpa[1]); // addresses differ
}
The problem arises I believe in 'foreach (int i, arg; args)' which makes a
copy for 'arg'. Usually in a foreach I can get round that by making it 'ref
arg'. But in the template function that does not work.
I can't use the setSeveral2() form, because that provokes the errors shown in
the comments.
How can I force the real addresses through the chain?
Thanks
Steve
Does this work:
void setSeveral(T...)(ref T args)
{
foreach (i, _; args)
setTarget(args[i], i);
}
Or you already tried that in setSeveral2.
