How can I get the get the std::typeindex
of the type currently help by a variant in c++?
Say I have a variant:
using variant_t = std::variant<int, float, bool, double, std::string>;
I want to be able to create the function:
std::typeindex get_held_type(const variant_t& var);
This is just for curiosity, I know that this is not the usual way to handle data in a variant.
Here is my attempt so far. I cheat a bit, as I use a map instead of a function, and an object has to be constructed in order to register the types at run time.
#include <iostream>
#include <variant>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <typeindex>
#include <map>
using variant_t = std::variant<int, float, bool, double, std::string>;
static constexpr size_t variant_t_size = std::variant_size<variant_t>();
static auto get_held_type = std::map<size_t, std::type_index>{};
//loop across all types in the variant
template<size_t N>
struct crtp : crtp<N - 1>{
//ctor
crtp(){
get_held_type[N] = std::type_index(typeid (std::get<N>(variant_t{})));
}
};
template<>
struct crtp<0>{
//ctor
crtp(){
get_held_type[0] = std::type_index(typeid (std::get<0>(variant_t{})));
}
};
static crtp<variant_t_size-1> registerTypes;
int main()
{
variant_t var = 3.141;
std::cout << get_held_type[var.index()].name() << std::endl;
}
But this fails with gcc with the compiler error:
/usr/include/c++/9/tuple:1674: error: no matching function for call to ‘std::type_index::type_index()’
1674 | second(std::forward<_Args2>(std::get<_Indexes2>(__tuple2))...)
