Detailed Description

Lightweight strongly-typed variant for a single value.

Member Function Documentation

setValue()

template<typename T >

void PIVariantSimple::setValue ( const T &  v )

inline

Stores value v.

Reuses the existing storage when the stored type already matches T.

value()

template<typename T >

T PIVariantSimple::value ( ) const

inline

Returns the stored value as type T.

Unlike PIVariant, this class checks the exact stored type. Returns the value only when the currently stored type matches T.
