Detailed Description

Class for easily casting boost::any's in assignment operations.

Consider the following code involving boost::any_cast

double A = 1.0;
boost::any anyA = A;
double b = boost::any_cast<double>(anyA);
double const& aRef = boost::any_cast<double const&>(anyA);

This class, AnyCast, attempts to streamline these casting operations and ensure that references are used whenever possible. Using AnyCast, the above code would be replace by

double A = 1.0;
boost::any anyA = A;
double b = AnyCast(anyA);
double& aRef = AnyCast(anyA);

NOTE: This class stores a reference to the boost::any in question and errors may occur if an object of this class persists longer than the original boost::any. For this reason, we recommend using AnyCast in expressions like the code above;
