365 * # mozilla::Variant
367 * A variant / tagged union / heterogenous disjoint union / sum-type template
368 * class. Similar in concept to (but not derived from) `boost::variant`.
370 * Sometimes, you may wish to use a C union with non-POD types. However, this is
371 * forbidden in C++ because it is not clear which type in the union should have
372 * its constructor and destructor run on creation and deletion
373 * respectively. This is the problem that `mozilla::Variant` solves.
375 * ## Usage
377 * A `mozilla::Variant` instance is constructed (via move or copy) from one of
378 * its variant types (ignoring const and references). It does *not* support
379 * construction from subclasses of variant types or types that coerce to one of
380 * the variant types.
382 * Variant<char, uint32_t> v1('a');
383 * Variant<UniquePtr<A>, B, C> v2(MakeUnique<A>());
384 * Variant<bool, char> v3(VariantType<char>, 0); // disambiguation needed
385 * Variant<int, int> v4(VariantIndex<1>, 0); // 2nd int
387 * Because specifying the full type of a Variant value is often verbose,
388 * there are two easier ways to construct values:
390 * A. AsVariant() can be used to construct a Variant value using type inference
391 * in contexts such as expressions or when returning values from functions.
392 * Because AsVariant() must copy or move the value into a temporary and this
393 * cannot necessarily be elided by the compiler, it's mostly appropriate only
394 * for use with primitive or very small types.
396 * Variant<char, uint32_t> Foo() { return AsVariant('x'); }
397 * // ...
398 * Variant<char, uint32_t> v1 = Foo(); // v1 holds char('x').
400 * B. Brace-construction with VariantType or VariantIndex; this also allows
401 * in-place construction with any number of arguments.
403 * struct AB { AB(int, int){...} };
404 * static Variant<AB, bool> foo()
406 * return {VariantIndex<0>{}, 1, 2};
408 * // ...
409 * Variant<AB, bool> v0 = Foo(); // v0 holds AB(1,2).
411 * All access to the contained value goes through type-safe accessors.
412 * Either the stored type, or the type index may be provided.
414 * void
415 * Foo(Variant<A, B, C> v)
417 * if (v.is<A>()) {
418 * A& ref = v.as<A>();
419 * ...
420 * } else (v.is<1>()) { // Instead of v.is<B>.
421 * ...
422 * } else {
423 * ...
427 * In some situation, a Variant may be constructed from templated types, in
428 * which case it is possible that the same type could be given multiple times by
429 * an external developer. Or seemingly-different types could be aliases.
430 * In this case, repeated types can only be accessed through their index, to
431 * prevent ambiguous access by type.
433 * // Bad!
434 * template <typename T>
435 * struct ResultOrError
437 * Variant<T, int> m;
438 * ResultOrError() : m(int(0)) {} // Error '0' by default
439 * ResultOrError(const T& r) : m(r) {}
440 * bool IsResult() const { return m.is<T>(); }
441 * bool IsError() const { return m.is<int>(); }
442 * };
443 * // Now instantiante with the result being an int too:
444 * ResultOrError<int> myResult(123); // Fail!
445 * // In Variant<int, int>, which 'int' are we refering to, from inside
446 * // ResultOrError functions?

457 * };
458 * // Now instantiante with the result being an int too:
459 * ResultOrError<int> myResult(123); // It now works!
461 * Attempting to use the contained value as type `T1` when the `Variant`
462 * instance contains a value of type `T2` causes an assertion failure.
464 * A a;
465 * Variant<A, B, C> v(a);
466 * v.as<B>(); // <--- Assertion failure!
468 * Trying to use a `Variant<Ts...>` instance as some type `U` that is not a
469 * member of the set of `Ts...` is a compiler error.
471 * A a;
472 * Variant<A, B, C> v(a);
473 * v.as<SomeRandomType>(); // <--- Compiler error!
475 * Additionally, you can turn a `Variant` that `is<T>` into a `T` by moving it
476 * out of the containing `Variant` instance with the `extract<T>` method:
478 * Variant<UniquePtr<A>, B, C> v(MakeUnique<A>());
479 * auto ptr = v.extract<UniquePtr<A>>();
481 * Finally, you can exhaustively match on the contained variant and branch into
482 * different code paths depending on which type is contained. This is preferred
483 * to manually checking every variant type T with is<T>() because it provides
484 * compile-time checking that you handled every type, rather than runtime
485 * assertion failures.

508 * char* foo(Variant<A, B, C, D>& v) {

512 * // In some situations, a single generic lambda may also be appropriate:
513 * char* foo(Variant<A, B, C, D>& v) {
514 * return v.match([](auto&) {...});
517 * // Alternatively, multiple function objects may be provided, each one
518 * // corresponding to an option, in the same order:
519 * char* foo(Variant<A, B, C, D>& v) {
520 * return v.match([](A&) { ... },
521 * [](B&) { ... },
522 * [](C&) { ... },
523 * [](D&) { ... });
526 * // In rare cases, the index of the currently-active alternative is
527 * // needed, it may be obtained by adding a first parameter in the matcner
528 * // callback, which will receive the index in its most compact type (just
529 * // use `size_t` if the exact type is not important), e.g.:
530 * char* foo(Variant<A, B, C, D>& v) {
531 * return v.match([](auto aIndex, auto& aAlternative) {...});
532 * // --OR--
533 * return v.match([](size_t aIndex, auto& aAlternative) {...});
536 * ## Examples
538 * A tree is either an empty leaf, or a node with a value and two children:
540 * struct Leaf { };
542 * template<typename T>
543 * struct Node
545 * T value;
546 * Tree<T>* left;
547 * Tree<T>* right;
548 * };
550 * template<typename T>
551 * using Tree = Variant<Leaf, Node<T>>;
553 * A copy-on-write string is either a non-owning reference to some existing
554 * string, or an owning reference to our copy:
556 * class CopyOnWriteString
558 * Variant<const char*, UniquePtr<char[]>> string;
560 * ...
561 * };
563 * Because Variant must be aligned suitable to hold any value stored within it,
564 * and because |alignas| requirements don't affect platform ABI with respect to
565 * how parameters are laid out in memory, Variant can't be used as the type of a
566 * function parameter. Pass Variant to functions by pointer or reference
567 * instead.
