28<p>The following code demonstrates the syntax for using
29    implicit conversions to and copying of any objects:</p>

63<p>The following predicates follow on from the previous
64    definitions and demonstrate the use of queries on any

107<p>The following type, patterned after the OMG's Property Service, defines name-value pairs for arbitrary value types:</p>
108<pre class="programlisting">
109struct property
110{
111    property();
112    property(const std::string &amp;, const <code class="computeroutput"><a href="../boost/any.html" title="Class any">boost::any</a></code> &amp;);
113
114    std::string name;
115    <code class="computeroutput"><a href="../boost/any.html" title="Class any">boost::any</a></code> value;
116};
117
118typedef std::list&lt;property&gt; properties;
119</pre>
120<p>The following base class demonstrates one approach to
121    runtime polymorphism based callbacks that also require arbitrary
122    argument types. The absence of virtual member templates requires
123    that different solutions have different trade-offs in terms of
124    efficiency, safety, and generality. Using a checked variant type
125    offers one approach:</p>
126<pre class="programlisting">
127class consumer
128{
129public:
130    virtual void notify(const <code class="computeroutput"><a href="../boost/any.html" title="Class any">any</a></code> &amp;) = 0;
131    ...
132};
