Proposed resolution:
This wording is relative to N4606.
Modify [any.nonmembers] as indicated:
template<class ValueType> ValueType any_cast(const any& operand); template<class ValueType> ValueType any_cast(any& operand); template<class ValueType> ValueType any_cast(any&& operand);-?- Let U be the type remove_cv_t<remove_reference_t<ValueType>>.
-4- Requires:
is_reference_v<ValueType> is true or is_copy_constructible_v<ValueType> is true.For the first overload, is_constructible_v<ValueType, const U&> is true. For the second overload, is_constructible_v<ValueType, U&> is true. For the third overload, is_constructible_v<ValueType, U> is true. Otherwise the program is ill-formed.-5- Returns:
For the first form, *any_cast<add_const_t<remove_reference_t<ValueType>>>(&operand). For the second and third forms, *any_cast<remove_reference_t<ValueType>>(&operand).For the first and second overload, static_cast<ValueType>(*any_cast<U>(&operand)). For the third overload, static_cast<ValueType>(std::move(*any_cast<U>(&operand))).[…]
