I don't think this is possible in cpp. All templates are compiled to typed classes. Maybe if you involve some C trickery where you use a void* or unioned a ton of types together but there are just a ton of its and buts with that. I'd try to come up with an alternative approach to the problem
Is there any way I can store a value with a type in the token, so that I can store additional info?
I did think of void*, and nullptr as default values. But that doesn't solve my problem of needed a raw type (unless I want all the data to be untraceable).
By untraceable, I mean if I have void* value, it'd be impossible to get the origin-type of the pointer back.
Plus, this is also bad, because that means all the information has to be a pointer, which could lead to many (dangling) bugs.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
