The Boost formal review of Peter Dimov's Variant2 library will take place April 1 - 10, 2019. Please consider participating in this review. The success of Boost is partially a result of the quality review process which is conducted by the community. You are part of the Boost community. I will be grateful to receive a review based on whatever level of effort or time you can devote. Variant2 is a never-valueless C++11/14/17 implementation of std::variant.

From the README:

The class boost::variant2::variant is an almost conforming implementation of std::variant with the following differences: * A converting constructor from, e.g. variant to variant is provided as an extension; * The reverse operation, going from variant to variant is provided as the member function subset. (This operation can throw if the current state of the variant cannot be represented.) * variant is not trivial when all contained types are trivial. To avoid going into a valueless-by-exception state, this implementation falls back to using double storage unless * one of the alternatives is the type monostate, * one of the alternatives has a nonthrowing default constructor, or * all the contained types are nothrow move constructible. If the first two bullets don't hold, but the third does, the variant uses single storage, but emplace constructs a temporary and moves it into place if the construction of the object can throw. In case this is undesirable, one can force emplace into always constructing in- place by adding monostate as one of the alternatives. You can find the source code here: https://github.com/pdimov/variant2 and the documentation here: https://pdimov.github.io/variant2/doc/html/variant2.html Please take an early look at the library and ask questions now. Peter Dimov is very active on the Cpplang Slack #boost channel; however, please consider using the Boost Dev or User Mail Lists so that the entire community might benefit from your conversation. Note: The repository contains an expected implementation also; however, that is not being considered in this review.
