Re: [boost] [variant] Why boost::get<Base>(derived) not supported?

2013/12/7 TONGARI J <...>

Maybe we can promote this idea to something more general, like 'variant_cast', not necessary have to be in base-derived relationship but just something convertible.

Does that make sense?

I'd prefer not mixing functionalities. We can make polymorphic_get<> work only for polymorphic casts (Base and Derived can be checked using type trait). -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin
