Detailed Description

overload pattern with a few bells and whistles

Supports, aside from resgular function-like objects, free and member function pointers:

struct S {
    void f()    const { std::println("S::f()");    }
    void g(int) const { std::println("S::g(int)"); }
};
 
void h(const S&, float) { std::println("h(const S&, float)"); }
 
// ... someplace else
 
const dxx::overload::Overload callback{
    [] (int i) { std::println("lambda"); },
    &S::f,
    &S::g,
    h,
}; // <-- const Overload callback
 
callback(10);         // lambda
callback(S{});        // S::f()
callback(S{}, 10);    // S::g(int)
callback(S{}, 10.0f); // h(const S&, float)

There is also a utility operator| for the overload that automatically calls std::visit:

std::variant<int, S>{ 10 } | callback;
