Re: [Boost-users] variant has non-trivial destructor even when all constituents have trivial destructor

It seems that boost::variant has non-trivial destructor even for something like boost::variant. Thus, It cannot be used in situations that call for a POD where calling the destructor is trivial.

Just making `variant` trivially destructible would not be enough, as `boost::lockfree::queue` also requires a trivial copy-assignment operator.

How about making boost::variant trivially-destructible when everything in it is trivially-destructible?

For your particular use case, it would be far simpler to just use plain old discriminated-unions. Regards, -- Agustín K-ballo Bergé.- http://talesofcpp.fusionfenix.com
