std::experimental::optional<T>::value: std::experimental::optional<T>::value

NAME

std::experimental::optional<T>::value - std::experimental::optional<T>::value

Synopsis


constexpr T& value() &; (1) (library fundamentals TS)
constexpr const T & value() const &;
constexpr T&& value() &&; (2) (library fundamentals TS)
constexpr const T&& value() const &&;


Returns the contained value.
1) Equivalent to return bool(*this) ? *val : throw bad_optional_access();
2) Equivalent to return bool(*this) ? std::move(*val) : throw bad_optional_access();

Parameters


(none)

Return value


A reference to the contained value.

Exceptions


std::experimental::bad_optional_access if *this does not contain a value.

Notes


The dereference operator operator*() does not check if this optional contains a value, which may be more efficient than value().

Example


// Run this code


  #include <experimental/optional>
  #include <iostream>
  int main()
  {
      std::experimental::optional<int> opt = {};


      try {
          int n = opt.value();
      } catch(const std::logic_error& e) {
          std::cout << e.what() << '\n';
      }
  }

Possible output:


  optional<T>::value: not engaged
