C++11 offers non-restricted unions, which you can wrap in a class:

class Wrapper
{
    union
    {
        int64_t x1; // use better names than these...
        uint64_t x2;
        double x3;
        std::string x4;
    } m_u;

public:
    explicit Wrapper(int64_t x1)
    {
        m_u.x1 = x1;
    }
   
    // etc....
    // You'll also need some clever getters
};

Hi,
I need to have a std::vector in my program, but it's type
will be known only when it runs, ie. the type will be provided
via a program param. The possible types are limited to these: int64_t,
uint64_t, double, std::string.
Is there a solution in boost or C++11 for this kind of problem?

Perhaps:
std::vector<boost::variant<int64_t, uint64_t, double, std::string>>
