overload

overload

Header: overload.h
From: 20.14.0

For C++17 and above

Allows creation of a functor of overloaded lambdas.

etl::overload<typename... TOverloads>

Template deduction guide

template <typename… TOverloads> overload(TOverloads…) -> overload<TOverloads…>;

Non-member functions 

template <typename... TOverloads>
constexpr overload<TOverloads...> make_overload(TOverloads&&... overloads)

Creates an etl::overload from a set of lambdas.

Example 

int         result_int;
double      result_double;
std::string result_string;

auto overloaded = etl::make_overload([](int i) { result_int = i; },
                                     [](double d) { result_double = d; },
                                     [](const std::string& s) { result_string = s; });

template <typename T, typename TOverload>
void Function(T value, TOverload&& ol)
{
  ol(value);
}

Function(int(1), overloaded);           // result_int    == 1
Function(double(2.2), overloaded);      // result_double == 2.2
Function(std::string("3"), overloaded); // result_string == "3"

Alternative syntax

Function(int(1), etl::overload
                 {
                   [](int i) { result_int = i; },
                   [](double d) { result_double = d; },
                   [](const std::string& s) { result_string = s; }
                 });
