template <class T, class... Args> T& emplace(Args&&... args);

Let I be the zero-based index of T in Types....

Effects: Equivalent to: return emplace<I>(std::forward<Args>(args)...);

Remarks: This function shall not participate in overload resolution unless is_constructible_v<T, Args...> is true, and T occurs exactly once in Types....

template <class T, class U, class... Args> T& emplace(initializer_list<U> il, Args&&... args);

Let I be the zero-based index of T in Types....

Effects: Equivalent to: return emplace<I>(il, std::forward<Args>(args)...);

Remarks: This function shall not participate in overload resolution unless is_constructible_v<T, initializer_list<U>&, Args...> is true, and T occurs exactly once in Types....

template <size_t I, class... Args>
  variant_alternative_t<I, variant<Types...>>& emplace(Args&&... args);

Requires: I < sizeof...(Types).

Effects: Destroys the currently contained value if valueless_by_exception() is false.

Then initializes the contained value as if direct-non-list-initializing a value of type with the arguments std::forward<Args>(args)....

Postconditions: index() is I.

Returns: A reference to the new contained value.

Throws: Any exception thrown during the initialization of the contained value.

Remarks: This function shall not participate in overload resolution unless is_constructible_v<, Args...> is true.

If an exception is thrown during the initialization of the contained value, the variant might not hold a value.

template <size_t I, class U, class... Args>
  variant_alternative_t<I, variant<Types...>>& emplace(initializer_list<U> il, Args&&... args);
