> Hi,
> Current C++ code avrocodegencpp generates union_n (where n = 0 to n numbered) structure with the member boost::any for union schemas.
> Is it possible to use boost::variants instead of "union_n" structures? The advantage of boost::variant is we can define our boost::visitors and apply them to retrieve the actual type in the union.
> Let me know?
