std::any
Defined in header <any>
template < class T, class ... Args >
std:: any make_any ( Args && ... args ) ;
(1) (since C++17)
template < class T, class U, class ... Args >
std:: any make_any ( std:: initializer_list < U > il, Args && ... args ) ;
(2) (since C++17)

Constructs an any object containing an object of type T , passing the provided arguments to T 's constructor.

1) Equivalent to return std:: any ( std:: in_place_type < T > , std:: forward < Args > ( args ) ... ) ;
2) Equivalent to return std:: any ( std:: in_place_type < T > , il, std:: forward < Args > ( args ) ... ) ;

Example

Run this code 
#include <any>
#include <complex>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    auto a0 = std::make_any<std::string>("Hello, std::any!\n");
    auto a1 = std::make_any<std::complex<double>>(0.1, 2.3);
 
    std::cout << std::any_cast<std::string&>(a0);
    std::cout << std::any_cast<std::complex<double>&>(a1) << '\n';
 
    using lambda = std::function<void(void)>;
 
    // Put a lambda into std::any. Attempt #1 (failed).
    std::any a2 = [] { std::cout << "Lambda #1.\n"; };
    std::cout << "a2.type() = \"" << a2.type().name() << "\"\n";
 
    // any_cast casts to <void(void)> but actual type is not
    // a std::function..., but ~ main::{lambda()#1}, and it is
    // unique for each lambda. So, this throws...
    try
    {
        std::any_cast<lambda>(a2)();
    }
    catch (std::bad_any_cast const& ex)
    {
        std::cout << ex.what() << '\n';
    }
 
    // Put a lambda into std::any. Attempt #2 (successful).
    auto a3 = std::make_any<lambda>([] { std::cout << "Lambda #2.\n"; });
    std::cout << "a3.type() = \"" << a3.type().name() << "\"\n";
    std::any_cast<lambda>(a3)();
}

Possible output: 

Hello, std::any!
(0.1,2.3)
a2.type() = "Z4mainEUlvE_"
bad any_cast
a3.type() = "St8functionIFvvEE"
Lambda #2.
