I am having issues with c++ (c++11)

this code:

void execute(std::vector<boost::variant<int, std::string>> params){
   printf("There are %d parameters\n", params.size());
}

execute( { 21, "test", 98 } );

fails with:

error: no matching function for call to ‘execute(<brace-enclosed initializer list>)

what vector accepts ints and strings without type conversion? – xaxxon Feb 12 '17 at 03:43

xaxxon if you read properly you'll see "boost::variant" – Cheyenne Forbes Feb 12 '17 at 03:56
Which compiler? Which version of boost? [I can't reproduce it](http://melpon.org/wandbox/permlink/ddhhH81bfBjEAYXJ). – skypjack Feb 12 '17 at 09:21
Do you use an **IDE**? – Shakiba Moshiri Feb 12 '17 at 14:59
g++ (Debian 5.3.1-5) 5.3.1 20160101 – Cheyenne Forbes Feb 12 '17 at 15:35
also give the error if I use just a std::string or int without variant – Cheyenne Forbes Feb 12 '17 at 15:36

@CheyenneForbesdeAvapno your code works for me. no problem. I tested it – Shakiba Moshiri Feb 12 '17 at 15:38
am I supposed to be including anything? – Cheyenne Forbes Feb 12 '17 at 17:03
@CheyenneForbesdeAvapno **Just** `#include ` and other library you use. when you want to comment someone, add **@** before its name the site warns to the person – Shakiba Moshiri Feb 12 '17 at 17:07
