This is a way to create more type-safe unions in C++ by checking the field that you are accessing. Beyond the scenes, we're really creating a 'struct', so we do not however get the compactness of a regular union, thus trading space for safety. ►YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/MikeShah ►Please like and subscribe to help the channel!
