Re: [Boost-users] How to get the behavior of make_recursive_variant ?

Quoting Timothy Madden :

boost::make_recursive_variant< >::type can serve my purpose well, except that I do not need a variant in my structure, I just need the structure to be recursive. Is there a way to get the recursive-definition behavior of make_recursive_variant<>, without the variant ?

Also I am curios: how is such a recursive definition possible ? How does make_recursive_variant implement it ?

Sounds like a job for boost::recursive_wrapper, which variant uses under the hood. Like in the attached?
