Question

Maybe storing boost::any in a std::vector? http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/doc/html/boost/any.html

Here is a simple working example. See James comments below too.

#include "../boost_1_54_0/boost/any.hpp"
#include 
#include 
#include 

int main()
{
    std::vector myList;

    myList.push_back(std::string("Hello"));
    myList.push_back(10);
    myList.push_back(std::string("World"));

    std::string any1 = boost::any_cast (myList[0]);
    int any2 = boost::any_cast (myList[1]);
    std::string any3 = boost::any_cast (myList[2]);

    std::cout<
