C++: Fibonacci N-Step Number Sequences

These number series are an expansion of the ordinary Fibonacci sequence where:

For $n = 2$ we have the Fibonacci sequence; with initial values $[1,1]$ and $F_k^2 = F_{k-1}^2 + F_{k-2}^2$
For $n = 3$ we have the tribonacci sequence; with initial values $[1,1,2]$ and $F_k^3 = F_{k-1}^3 + F_{k-2}^3 + F_{k-3}^3$
For $n = 4$ we have the tetranacci sequence; with initial values $[1,1,2,4]$ and $F_k^4 = F_{k-1}^4 + F_{k-2}^4 + F_{k-3}^4 + F_{k-4}^4$
…
For general $n > 2$ we have the Fibonacci $n$ -step sequence – $F_k^n$ ; with initial values of the first $n$ values of the $(n - 1)$ ‘th Fibonacci $n$ -step sequence $F_k^{n-1}$ ; and $k$ ‘th value of this $n$ ‘th sequence being $F_k^n = \sum_{i=1}^{(n)} {F_{k-i}^{(n)}}$

For small values of $n$ , Greek numeric prefixes are sometimes used to individually name each series.

Allied sequences can be generated where the initial values are changed:

The Lucas series sums the two preceeding values like the fibonacci series for

n = 2

but uses

[2,1]

as its initial values.

The task is to

Write a function to generate Fibonacci $n$ -step number sequences given its initial values and assuming the number of initial values determines how many previous values are summed to make the next number of the series.
Use this to print and show here at least the first ten members of the Fibo/tribo/tetra-nacci and Lucas sequences.

Alternate Version

This version focuses on a clean, simple class that adapts to any pair of starting numbers and any order. Rather than summing over all history every time, it uses an O(1) incremental update to a running total. Thus, performance remains essentially unchanged even for very large orders.

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

// This class forms a simple 'generator', where operator() returns the next
// element in the series.  It uses a small sliding window buffer to minimize
// storage overhead.
class nacci_t
{
	std::vector< int >  history;
	unsigned            windex;             // sliding window index
	unsigned            rindex;             // result index
	int                 running_sum;        // sum of values in sliding window

public:

	nacci_t( unsigned int order, int a0 = 1, int a1 = 1 )
	:   history( order + 1 ), windex( 0 ), rindex( order - 1 ), 
	running_sum( a0 + a1 )
	{
		// intialize sliding window
		history[order - 1] = a0;
		history[order - 0] = a1;
	}

	int operator()() 
	{
		int result   = history[ rindex ];   // get 'nacci number to return
		running_sum -= history[ windex ];   // old 'nacci falls out of window

		history[ windex ] = running_sum;    // new 'nacci enters the window
		running_sum      += running_sum;    // new 'nacci added to the sum

		if ( ++windex == history.size() ) windex = 0;
		if ( ++rindex == history.size() ) rindex = 0;

		return result;
	}
};
