【Cherno的C++视频】How to store any data in C++

#include <iostream>
#include <any>//c++17 much like variant.

// how to store any kind of data in a single variable.

// std::variant requires you to list out all of those types is good that's what makes it type safe!
// for small types std::any works exactly the same way as std::variant, however if you have a large type
// that's where it actually takes you into the void pointer -> big storage(check out the source code of any),
// std::any will dynamically allocate memory for large types.
// Dynamically allocating memory is not good for the performance, so sum up use std::any or std::variant
// to deal with small types like int float vector class they are gonna work in exactly the same way.
// std::any is sth you should be aware of but maybe not sth you should use all that often.

struct CustomClass
{
	std::string s0, s1;
};

int main(void)
{
	std::any data;

	data = NULL;
	data = 5.5f;
	data = "I am Groot";

	data = 2;
	data = std::string("Groot");
	std::string& string = std::any_cast<std::string&>(data);//data -> string

	data = CustomClass();//std::any will allocate if it needs to(if the data is above 32 bytes.)

	std::cin.get();
}
