I agree, just looking how to accomplish my goals. I decided to get rid
of casting, and will store everything on heap. I don't know how to put a

allow the user to pass anything inside, but copy when that is not an
l-value.

Do you really need to put a float on the heap? Just pass it around as a
value type, it's not like it's a big struct.


i think he needs to - else he encapsulate the float into an struct which is then also on the heap

(ast/whatever)
  nodex -> float
    nodey -> string
  nodez -> int
  nodew -> double

etc.

in this example a node can contain from n types values - how would you solve that? or better what is the smallest(maybe fastest) representation

there need to be a queryable tree in the end - so there is a need to hold the values - yes he can copy by value - but into whom?

in the end it will be an variant-like type (with members for each type) on heap - whichs is not that good because that will cost much more mem

or something like an class FloatValue -> NodeValue -> Value oop-hierachy whichs also will get onto the heap

i would try to use something like an base-types pool for all the small
float,double,int,string etc values... and pointer to this pool - or just use the heap :)
