Episode 13 - C++ std::variant

Curiosity‑filled programmers and C++ veterans alike, welcome to Episode 13 of the C++ Code Deep Dive series. Today we pull back the curtain on std::variant - the standard library’s answer to "type‑safe union." We’ll: Trace how the compiler‑generated variant class holds its payload in a cleverly‑aligned union. See how the index field is stored in a separate memory location. Look at the optimization that variant performs for trivially‑default‑constructible types, allowing the union to be default‑constructed without invoking any constructors. Plus, we’ll throw in a classic trivia: std::variant is essentially a type eraser with bounds‑checkedness – it guarantees that the held value is always at least one of the permitted alternatives. If you’ve ever wonder how a modern compile‑time safe union works under the hood, this episode is your deep‑cut primer. Keep your C++ toolkit sharp, and let’s swap the abstract into the concrete with a real walk‑through of variant’s implementation. Happy watching!
