The form of initialization for the emplace-constructors is not specified. We are very clear to mandate "as if by direct non-list initialization" for each constructor in optional, so there is no ambiguity regarding parens vs. braces. That wording idiom should be followed by variant.

Proposed change: Insert the phrase "as if direct-non-list-initializing" at appropriate locations in paragraphs 19, 23, 27, and 31

Previous resolution [SUPERSEDED]:

This wording is relative to N4640.

  1. Modify 22.6.3.2 [variant.ctor] paragraph 19 as indicated:

    Effects: Initializes the contained value as if direct-non-list-initializing an object of type T with the arguments std::forward<Args>(args)....

  2. Modify 22.6.3.2 [variant.ctor] paragraph 23 as indicated:

    Effects: Initializes the contained value as if direct-non-list-initializingconstructing an object of type T with the arguments il, std::forward<Args>(args)....

  3. Modify 22.6.3.2 [variant.ctor] paragraph 27 as indicated:

    Effects: Initializes the contained value as if direct-non-list-initializingconstructing an object of type TI with the arguments std::forward<Args>(args)....

  4. Modify 22.6.3.2 [variant.ctor] paragraph 31 as indicated:

    Effects: Initializes the contained value as if direct-non-list-initializingconstructing an object of type TI with the arguments il, std::forward(args)....
