Performs type-safe access to the contained object.

Let U be std::remove_cv_t<std::remove_reference_t<ValueType>>.

1) The program is ill-formed if is_constructible_v<ValueType, const U&> is not true.

2) The program is ill-formed if is_constructible_v<ValueType, U&> is not true.

3) The program is ill-formed if is_constructible_v<ValueType, U> is not true.

Parameters

operand

-

target any object

Return value

1-2) Returns static_cast<ValueType>(*std::any_cast<U>(&operand))

3) Returns static_cast<ValueType>(std::move(*std::any_cast<U>(&operand))).

4-5) If operand is not a null pointer, and the typeid of the requested ValueType matches that of the contents of operand, a pointer to the value contained by operand, otherwise a null pointer.

Exceptions

1-3) Throws std::bad_any_cast if the typeid of the requested ValueType does not match that of the contents of operand.
