<p>Returns appropriate type sugar for constructing an unsuccessful result or outcome, usually <a href="../../reference/types/failure_type.html" class="api-reference"><code>failure_type&lt;EC, EP = void&gt;</code></a>
with a decayed <code>T</code>.</p>
<p>Two default overloads are provided, one taking a single parameter returning <code>failure_type&lt;std::decay_t&lt;T&gt;&gt;</code>, the other taking two parameters returning <code>failure_type&lt;std::decay_t&lt;T&gt;, std::decay_t&lt;U&gt;&gt;</code>. Both overloads perfectly forward their inputs.</p>
<p>Note that <code>failure()</code> overloads are permitted by Outcome to return something other than <code>failure_type</code>. For example, <code>basic_result</code>&rsquo;s <a href="../../reference/types/basic_result/as_failure_lvalue.html" class="api-reference"><code>auto as_failure() const &amp;</code></a>
returns whatever type <code>failure()</code> returns, and <a href="../../reference/macros/try.html" class="api-reference"><code>BOOST_OUTCOME_TRY(var, expr)</code></a>
by default returns for failure whatever <code>.as_failure()</code> returns. This can be useful to have <code>BOOST_OUTCOME_TRY(...}</code> propagate on failure something custom for some specific input <code>basic_result</code> or <code>basic_outcome</code>.</p>
<p><em>Overridable</em>: By Argument Dependent Lookup (ADL).</p>
<p><em>Requires</em>: Always available.</p>
