Is there a var type equivalent in C++?

Question

So I know that C++ is strongly typed and was just wondering if there was any library (or any thing for that fact of the matter) that would allow you to make a variable that has no initial specific type like var in Python.

Answer 1

Two main things come to mind:

1. BOOST_AUTO
2. C++0x type inference

Answer 2

Take a look at boost::any and boost::variant.
