std::variant_size, std::variant_size_v

Defined in header <variant>
template <class T>
struct variant_size; /* undefined */
(1) (since C++17)
template <class... Types>
struct variant_size<std::variant<Types...>>
: std::integral_constant<std::size_t, sizeof...(Types)> { };
(2) (since C++17)
template <class T> class variant_size<const T>;
template <class T> class variant_size<volatile T>;
template <class T> class variant_size<const volatile T>;
(3) (since C++17)

Provides access to the number of alternatives in a possibly cv-qualified variant as a compile-time constant expression.

Formally,

2) meets the UnaryTypeTrait requirements with a BaseCharacteristic of std::integral_constant<std::size_t, sizeof...(Types)>
3) meets the UnaryTypeTrait requirements with a BaseCharacteristic of std::integral_constant<std::size_t, variant_size<T>>

Helper variable template

template <class T>
inline constexpr std::size_t variant_size_v = std::variant_size<T>::value;
(since C++17)

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value
[static]
sizeof...(Types)
(public static member constant)

Member functions

operator std::size_t
converts the object to std::size_t, returns value
(public member function)
operator()
(C++14)
returns value
(public member function)

Member types

Type Definition
value_type std::size_t
type std::integral_constant<std::size_t, value>

Notes

All specializations of std::variant_size satisfy UnaryTypeTrait with BaseCharacteristic std::integral_constant<std::size_t, N> for some N.
