type-storage is a simple C++ library that is meant to provide containers for situations where different types need to be stored in the same container, for convenience. This is often mostly useful in projects with deep roots in template meta-programming.
The library itself is header-only so essentially to use it you just have to clone the repository and setup the right include paths in the project where you would like to use it.
The library uses c++11 features such as variadic templates, so you need a relatively recent compiler to use it.
The unit tests for the library are located in the test/src folder.
We use the Google Unit Testing Framework (gtest) to drive the unit tests. To build the tests run:
python waf configure
python wafDepending on the platform you should see a test binary called type_storage_tests in (extension also depends on operating system e.g. .exe for windows):
build/platform/test/Where platform is typically is either linux, win32 or darwin depending on your operating system.
