--- Quote from: 280Z28 on December 30, 2005, 01:44:44 am ---The idea of a cbVariant seems useful (to me) as a global C::B SDK general utility class so any CB plugin can make use of it for storing preferences or internal data. Having it as a compiler plugin specific class could unnecessarily limit its use to other plugin developers.

Yes, the cbVariant and cbProperty (to be defined elsewhere in this forum) will be part of the SDK, but the new compiler framework REQUIRES these classes.

So, *ahem* hello? Anyone?

How about wxVariant ? http://www.wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.6.2/wx_wxvariant.html#wxvariant

Um... eew?

(I read the docs). I don't think we'll be needing all those types... Anyway, I researched more, and the Microsoft VARIANT type is even worse  :shock: . I think it'll be cheaper to implement it ourselves.

I know you said no templates, but you can still look at boost.variant.

But, a version with little (almost none) templatization, very simmilar class is boost.any.
Perhaps that's what you're looking for.  :)
