, where
I
is the zero-based index of

This overload participates in overload resolution only if
std::
is_constructible_v

is
true
, and
T
occurs exactly once inTypes...

First, destroys the currently contained value (if any). Then
direct-initializes
the contained value as if constructing a value of type
T_I
with the arguments
std::
forward
<
Args
>
(
args
)
...
. If an exception is thrown,
*
this
may become
valueless_by_exception
.
- This overload participates in overload resolution only if std:: is_constructible_v < T_I, Args... > is true .
-
It is a compile-time error if
I
is not less than sizeof... ( Types ) .

Parameters
args | - | constructor arguments to use when constructing the new value |
il | - | initializer_list argument to use when constructing the new value |
Return value
A reference to the new contained value.
Exceptions
1-4)
Any exception thrown during the initialization of the contained value.

Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <variant> int main() { std::variant<std::string> v1; v1.emplace<0>("abc"); // OK std::cout << std::get<0>(v1) << '\n'; v1.emplace<std::string>("def"); // OK std::cout << std::get<0>(v1) << '\n'; std::variant<std::string, std::string> v2; v2.emplace<1>("ghi"); // OK std::cout << std::get<1>(v2) << '\n'; // v2.emplace<std::string>("abc"); -> Error }
Output:
abc def ghi
