Ups, small error on my side. The code that compiles is like this: #include <string> #include using namespace std; using namespace boost; struct A {}; struct B {}; struct string_table { const any a; const string s; }; static string_table table[] = { { any( A() ), "Hello" }, { any( B() ), "Moin" } }; Sorry for the noise, Christian On 3/23/07, Christian Henning wrote:

Hi there, is the following code possible?

#include <string>

#include

using namespace std; using namespace boost;

struct A {}; struct B {};

struct string_table { const any a; const string s; };

static string_table table[] = { { any( A ), "Hello" }, { any( B ), "Moin" } };

How would you implement such functionality?

Thanks ahead, Christian
