Re: [Boost-users] boost::any question

First I wanted to use boost::variant. It would be the best solution, i 
think. The problem is that I have at least the datatypes:

unsigned char
char
unsigned short
short
unsigned int
int
unsigned long long
long long
double
float
string
wstring

and maybe some pointer types

and there is the problem. I think the variant datatype can use only 10 
different parameters. Isn't it?

Best regards
