Need Variant Datatype for scripting #3

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
We need to either find or write a C++ variant datatype.  It must be able to
handle:

string
boolean
double
int32
void
*SMART_POINTER 

The smart pointer could contain an IDispatch ActiveX object, an NPObject,
or possibly another object type; to be determined.

We could possibly use boost::any or boost::variant, though we probably want
to be able to have it do automatic type conversion, since this will be used
to communicate with javascript, which is loosely typed.

I have chosen cdiggins::any for this.  It is typedefed as FB::variant
