Re: [Boost-users] boost any questions and praise

Thanks for the info. Can it be done (at all, at the moment, elegantly, practically, by turning a std::type_info into a type) ? On 30 January 2010 19:58, Steven Watanabe wrote:

Firstly. Thank you very much team Boost, it looks like it will be very useful and solve many of my coding problems.

I can create an any boost::any a1;

I can assign something to it a1 = string1;

I can get it back out later std::cout<std::string(a1);

A boost any has a "type()" method.

However this produced an error.

std::cout<(a1);

Template parameters have to be types. The result of a1.type() is a std::type_info object.

In Christ, Steven Watanabe
