// Written in the D programming language.

/**
This module implements a
$(WEB erdani.org/publications/cuj-04-2002.html,discriminated union)
type (a.k.a.
$(WEB en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagged_union,tagged union),
$(WEB en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_data_type,algebraic type)).
Such types are useful
for type-uniform binary interfaces, interfacing with scripting
languages, and comfortable exploratory programming.

Macros:
 WIKI = Phobos/StdVariant

Synopsis:
----
Variant a; // Must assign before use, otherwise exception ensues
// Initialize with an integer; make the type int
Variant b = 42;
assert(b.type == typeid(int));
// Peek at the value
assert(b.peek!(int) !is null && *b.peek!(int) == 42);
// Automatically convert per language rules
auto x = b.get!(real);
// Assign any other type, including other variants
a = b;
a = 3.14;
assert(a.type == typeid(double));
// Implicit conversions work just as with built-in types
assert(a < b);
// Check for convertibility
assert(!a.convertsTo!(int)); // double not convertible to int
// Strings and all other arrays are supported
a = "now I'm a string";
assert(a == "now I'm a string");
a = new int[42]; // can also assign arrays
assert(a.length == 42);
a[5] = 7;
assert(a[5] == 7);
// Can also assign class values
class Foo {}
auto foo = new Foo;
a = foo;
assert(*a.peek!(Foo) == foo); // and full type information is preserved
----

A $(LREF Variant) object can hold a value of any type, with very few
restrictions (such as `shared` types and noncopyable types). Setting the value
is as immediate as assigning to the `Variant` object. To read back the value of
the appropriate type `T`, use the $(LREF get!T) call. To query whether a
`Variant` currently holds a value of type `T`, use $(LREF peek!T). To fetch the
exact type currently held, call $(LREF type), which returns the `TypeInfo` of
the current value.

In addition to $(LREF Variant), this module also defines the $(LREF Algebraic)
type constructor. Unlike `Variant`, `Algebraic` only allows a finite set of
types, which are specified in the instantiation (e.g. $(D Algebraic!(int,
string)) may only hold an `int` or a `string`).

Credits: Reviewed by Brad Roberts. Daniel Keep provided a detailed code review
prompting the following improvements: (1) better support for arrays; (2) support
for associative arrays; (3) friendlier behavior towards the garbage collector.

 * $(D VariantN) is a back-end type seldom used directly by user

 * $(OL $(LI $(B Algebraic): A closed discriminated union with a
 * limited type universe (e.g., $(D Algebraic!(int, double,
 * string)) only accepts these three types and rejects anything
 * else).) $(LI $(B Variant): An open discriminated union allowing an
 * unbounded set of types. If any of the types in the $(D Variant)
 * are larger than the largest built-in type, they will automatically
 * be boxed. This means that even large types will only be the size
 * of a pointer within the $(D Variant), but this also implies some
 * overhead. $(D Variant) can accommodate all primitive types and
 * all user-defined types.))
 *
 * Both $(D Algebraic) and $(D Variant) share $(D
 * VariantN)'s interface. (See their respective documentations below.)
 *
 * $(D VariantN) is a discriminated union type parameterized
 * with the largest size of the types stored ($(D maxDataSize))
 * and with the list of allowed types ($(D AllowedTypes)). If
 * the list is empty, then any type up of size up to $(D
 * maxDataSize) (rounded up for alignment) can be stored in a
 * $(D VariantN) object without being boxed (types larger
 * than this will be boxed).
