<p>line, we can deduce that <code>variant&lt;Rectangle, Circle&gt;</code> can be (implicitly)
constructed from <code>Circle</code> (and <code>Rectangle</code>), and indeed it can. It can also
be assigned a <code>Circle</code> or a <code>Rectangle</code>:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">

<p>If we try to construct <code>variant&lt;int, float&gt;</code> from something that is neither
<code>int</code> nor <code>float</code>, say, <code>(short)1</code>, the behavior is "as if" the <code>variant</code> has
declared two constructors,</p>

<p>and the standard overload resolution rules are used to pick the one that will
be used. So <code>variant&lt;int, float&gt;((short)1)</code> will hold an <code>int</code>.</p>

<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="overview_inspecting_the_value">Inspecting the Value</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Putting values into a <code>variant</code> is easy, but taking them out is necessarily a
bit more convoluted. It&#8217;s not possible for <code>variant&lt;int, float&gt;</code> to define a
member function <code>get() const</code>, because such a function will need its return
type fixed at compile time, and whether the correct return type is <code>int</code> or
<code>float</code> will only become known at run time.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>There are a few ways around that. First, there is the accessor member function</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code>std::size_t variant::index() const noexcept;</code></pre>
</div>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>that returns the zero-based index of the current type. For <code>variant&lt;int,
float&gt;</code>, it will return <code>0</code> for <code>int</code> and <code>1</code> for <code>float</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Once we have the index, we can use the free function <code>get&lt;N&gt;</code> to obtain the
value. Since we&#8217;re passing the type index to <code>get</code>, it knows what to return.
<code>get&lt;0&gt;(v)</code> will return <code>int</code>, and <code>get&lt;1&gt;(v)</code> will return <code>float</code>:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code>void f( variant&lt;int, float&gt; const&amp; v )
{
switch( v.index() )
{
case 0:
// use get&lt;0&gt;(v)
break;
case 1:
// use get&lt;1&gt;(v)
break;
default:
assert(false); // never happens
}
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If we call <code>get&lt;0&gt;(v)</code>, and <code>v.index()</code> is not currently <code>0</code>, an exception
(of type <code>bad_variant_access</code>) will be thrown.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>An alternative approach is to use <code>get&lt;int&gt;(v)</code> or <code>get&lt;float&gt;(v)</code>. This
works similarly.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Another alternative that avoids the possibility of <code>bad_variant_access</code> is
to use <code>get_if</code>. Instead of a reference to the contained value, it returns
a pointer to it, returning <code>nullptr</code> to indicate type mismatch. <code>get_if</code>
takes a pointer to the <code>variant</code>, so in our example we&#8217;ll use something along
the following lines:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code>void f( variant&lt;int, float&gt; const&amp; v )
{
if( int const * p = get_if&lt;int&gt;(&amp;v) )
{
// use *p
}
else if( float const * p = get_if&lt;float&gt;(&amp;v) )
{
// use *p
}
else
{
assert(false); // never happens
}
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="overview_visitation">Visitation</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Last but not least, there&#8217;s <code>visit</code>. <code>visit(f, v)</code> calls the a function object
<code>f</code> with the value contained in the <code>variant</code> <code>v</code> and returns the result. When
<code>v</code> is <code>variant&lt;int, float&gt;</code>, it will call <code>f</code> with either an <code>int</code> or a
<code>float</code>. The function object must be prepared to accept both.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In practice, this can be achieved by having the function take a type that can
be passed either <code>int</code> or <code>float</code>, such as <code>double</code>:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code>double f( double x ) { return x; }
double g( variant&lt;int, float&gt; const&amp; v )
{
return visit( f, v );
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>By using a function object with an overloaded <code>operator()</code>:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code>struct F
{
void operator()(int x) const { /* use x */ }
void operator()(float x) const { /* use x */ }
};
void g( variant&lt;int, float&gt; const&amp; v )
{
visit( F(), v );
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Or by using a polymorphic lambda, as we did in our <code>Circle</code>/<code>Rectangle</code>
example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code>void g( variant&lt;int, float&gt; const&amp; v )
{
visit( [&amp;]( auto const&amp; x ){ std::cout &lt;&lt; x &lt;&lt; std::endl; }, v );
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><code>visit</code> can also take more than one <code>variant</code>. <code>visit(f, v1, v2)</code> calls
<code>f(x1, x2)</code>, where <code>x1</code> is the value contained in <code>v1</code> and <code>x2</code> is the value
in <code>v2</code>.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="overview_default_construction">Default Construction</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The default constructor of <code>variant</code> value-initializes the first type in
the list. <code>variant&lt;int, float&gt;{}</code> holds <code>0</code> (of type <code>int</code>), and
<code>variant&lt;float, int&gt;{}</code> holds <code>0.0f</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This is usually the desired behavior. However, in cases such as
<code>variant&lt;std::mutex, std::recursive_mutex&gt;</code>, one might legitimately wish to
avoid constructing a <code>std::mutex</code> by default. A provided type, <code>monostate</code>,
can be used as the first type in those scenarios. <code>variant&lt;monostate,
std::mutex, std::recursive_mutex&gt;</code> will default-construct a <code>monostate</code>,
which is basically a no-op, as <code>monostate</code> is effectively an empty <code>struct</code>.</p>
