<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span></code> is
|
|
currently implemented using a custom aligned storage facility built from <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">alignment_of</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">type_with_alignment</span></code>
|
|
(both from Type Traits). It uses a separate boolean flag to indicate the initialization
|
|
state. Placement new with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s
|
|
copy/move constructor and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s
|
|
destructor are explicitly used to initialize, copy, move and destroy optional
|
|
values. As a result, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s default
|
|
constructor is effectively by-passed, but the exception guarantees are basic.
|
|
It is planned to replace the current implementation with another with stronger
|
|
exception safety, such as a future <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">variant</span></code>.
