Provides compile-time indexed access to the types of the alternatives of the possibly cv-qualified variant, combining cv-qualifications of the variant (if any) with the cv-qualifications of the alternative.

Formally,

2) meets the TransformationTrait requirements with a member typedef type equal to the type of the alternative with index I
3) meets the TransformationTrait requirements with a member typedef type that names, respectively, std::add_const_t<std::variant_alternative<I,T>>, std::add_volatile_t<std::variant_alternative<I,T>>, and std::add_cv_t<std::variant_alternative<I,T>>

Member types

Member type Definition
type the type of Ith alternative of the variant, where I must be in [0, sizeof...(Types)), otherwise the behavior is undefined

Helper template alias

template <size_t I, class T>
using variant_alternative_t = typename variant_alternative<I, T>::type;
(since C++17)
