std::variant and more coroutines

Two talks this time, trialling terrific topics targeting Pacific++.

An introduction to std::variant - Nick Sarten

• an outline of std::variant

• how to use it

• comparison with other variant types

• its roots in boost::variant

• an introduction to some applications for std::variant in C++17 (time permitting)

Some non-obvious applications of the Coroutines TS - Toby Allsopp

Following on from my presentation at the previous meetup, I will show some lesser-known applications of the Coroutines TS.

• Chaining operations returning std::optional

• Type-erased function object

• Synergy with the range-v3 library
