|

<p>
|
||||
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">></span></code> should
|
||||
be used with special caution and consideration.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First, it is functionally similar to a tristate boolean (false,maybe,true)
|
||||
—such as <a href="../../../../tribool/index.html" target="_top">boost::tribool</a>—
|
||||
except that in a tristate boolean, the maybe state <span class="underline">represents
|
||||
a valid value</span>, unlike the corresponding state of an uninitialized
|
||||
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">></span></code>. It
|
||||
should be carefully considered if an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">></span></code>
|
||||
instead of a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">tribool</span></code> is really
|
||||
needed.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Second, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><></span></code>
|
||||
provides an implicit conversion to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>.
|
||||
This conversion refers to the initialization state and not to the contained
|
||||
value. Using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">></span></code> can
|
||||
lead to subtle errors due to the implicit <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>
|
||||
conversion:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre class="programlisting">
|
||||
<span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">foo</span> <span class="special">(</span> <span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">v</span> <span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">;</span>
|
||||
<span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">bar</span><span class="special">()</span>
|
||||
<span class="special">{</span>
|
||||
<span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">></span> <span class="identifier">v</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="keyword">try</span><span class="special">();</span>
|
||||
|
||||
<span class="comment">// The following intended to pass the value of 'v' to foo():
|
||||
</span> <span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">v</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
||||
<span class="comment">// But instead, the initialization state is passed
|
||||
</span> <span class="comment">// due to a typo: it should have been foo(*v).
|
||||
</span><span class="special">}</span>
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The only implicit conversion is to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>,
|
||||
and it is safe in the sense that typical integral promotions don't apply (i.e.
|
||||
if <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">()</span></code>
|
||||
takes an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code> instead, it won't
|
||||
compile).

Peter Dimov suggested the name 'optional', and was the first to point out

the need for aligned storage.
|

</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Douglas Gregor developed 'type_with_alignment', and later Eric Friedman coded
|
||||
'aligned_storage', which are the core of the optional class implementation.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Andrei Alexandrescu and Brian Parker also worked with aligned storage techniques
|

and their work influenced the current implementation.
|

</li>
|

<li>
|

Gennadiy Rozental made extensive and important comments which shaped the

design.
|

</li>
|

<li>
|

Vesa Karvonen and Douglas Gregor made quite useful comparisons between optional,
|

variant and any; and made other relevant comments.

</li>
|

<li>
|

Douglas Gregor and Peter Dimov commented on comparisons and evaluation in

boolean contexts.

Eric Friedman helped understand the issues involved with aligned storage,

move/copy operations and exception safety.

William Kempf carefully considered the originally proposed interface and
|
||||
suggested the new interface which is currently used. He also started and
|
||||
fueled the discussion about the analogy optional<>/smart pointer and
|
||||
about relational operators.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Peter Dimov, Joel de Guzman, David Abrahams, Tanton Gibbs and Ian Hanson
|
||||
focused on the relational semantics of optional (originally undefined); concluding
|
||||
with the fact that the pointer-like interface doesn't make it a pointer so
|
||||
it shall have deep relational operators.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Augustus Saunders also explored the different relational semantics between
|
||||
optional<> and a pointer and developed the OptionalPointee concept
|
||||
as an aid against potential conflicts on generic code.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Joel de Guzman noticed that optional<> can be seen as an API on top
|
||||
of variant<T,nil_t>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Dave Gomboc explained the meaning and usage of the Haskell analog to optional<>:
|
||||
the Maybe type constructor (analogy originally pointed out by David Sankel).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|

Other comments were posted by Vincent Finn, Anthony Williams, Ed Brey, Rob
|
||||
Stewart, and others.
|

</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Joel de Guzman made the case for the support of references and helped with
|
||||
the proper semantics.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Mat Marcus shown the virtues of a value-oriented interface, influencing the
|

current design, and contributed the idea of "none".

In C++, we can <span class="emphasis"><em>declare</em></span> an object (a variable) of type
|
||||
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>, and we can give this variable
|
||||
an <span class="emphasis"><em>initial value</em></span> (through an <span class="emphasis"><em>initializer</em></span>.
|
||||
(c.f. 8.5)). When a declaration includes a non-empty initializer (an initial
|
||||
value is given), it is said that the object has been initialized. If the
|
||||
declaration uses an empty initializer (no initial value is given), and neither
|
||||
default nor value initialization applies, it is said that the object is
|
||||
<span class="bold"><strong>uninitialized</strong></span>. Its actual value exist but
|
||||
has an <span class="emphasis"><em>indeterminate initial value</em></span> (c.f. 8.5.9). <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span></code> intends
|
||||
to formalize the notion of initialization (or lack of it) allowing a program
|
||||
to test whether an object has been initialized and stating that access to
|
||||
the value of an uninitialized object is undefined behavior. That is, when
|
||||
a variable is declared as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span></code>
|
||||
and no initial value is given, the variable is <span class="emphasis"><em>formally</em></span>
|
||||
uninitialized. A formally uninitialized optional object has conceptually
|
||||
no value at all and this situation can be tested at runtime. It is formally
|
||||
<span class="emphasis"><em>undefined behavior</em></span> to try to access the value of an
|
||||
uninitialized optional. An uninitialized optional can be assigned a value,
|
||||
in which case its initialization state changes to initialized. Furthermore,
|
||||
given the formal treatment of initialization states in optional objects,
|
||||
it is even possible to reset an optional to <span class="emphasis"><em>uninitialized</em></span>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In C++ there is no formal notion of uninitialized objects, which means that
|
||||
objects always have an initial value even if indeterminate. As discussed
|
||||
on the previous section, this has a drawback because you need additional
|
||||
information to tell if an object has been effectively initialized. One of
|
||||
the typical ways in which this has been historically dealt with is via a
|
||||
special value: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">EOF</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">npos</span></code>, -1, etc... This is equivalent to
|
||||
adding the special value to the set of possible values of a given type. This
|
||||
super set of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> plus some
|
||||
<span class="emphasis"><em>nil_t</em></span>—were <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">nil_t</span></code>
|
||||
is some stateless POD-can be modeled in modern languages as a <span class="bold"><strong>discriminated
|
||||
union</strong></span> of T and nil_t. Discriminated unions are often called <span class="emphasis"><em>variants</em></span>.
|
||||
A variant has a <span class="emphasis"><em>current type</em></span>, which in our case is either
|
||||
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">nil_t</span></code>.
|
||||
Using the <a href="../../../../variant/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Variant</a>
|
||||
library, this model can be implemented in terms of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">variant</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">nil_t</span><span class="special">></span></code>.
|
||||
There is precedent for a discriminated union as a model for an optional value:
|
||||
the <a href="http://www.haskell.org/" target="_top">Haskell</a> <span class="bold"><strong>Maybe</strong></span>
|
||||
built-in type constructor. Thus, a discriminated union <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">+</span><span class="identifier">nil_t</span></code>
|
||||
serves as a conceptual foundation.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">variant</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">nil_t</span><span class="special">></span></code> follows naturally from the traditional
|
||||
idiom of extending the range of possible values adding an additional sentinel
|
||||
value with the special meaning of <span class="emphasis"><em>Nothing</em></span>. However,
|
||||
this additional <span class="emphasis"><em>Nothing</em></span> value is largely irrelevant
|
||||
for our purpose since our goal is to formalize the notion of uninitialized
|
||||
objects and, while a special extended value can be used to convey that meaning,
|
||||
it is not strictly necessary in order to do so.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The observation made in the last paragraph about the irrelevant nature of
|
||||
the additional <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">nil_t</span></code> with
|
||||
respect to <span class="underline">purpose</span> of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span></code> suggests
|
||||
an alternative model: a <span class="emphasis"><em>container</em></span> that either has a
|
||||
value of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> or nothing.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As of this writing I don't know of any precedence for a variable-size fixed-capacity
|
||||
(of 1) stack-based container model for optional values, yet I believe this
|
||||
is the consequence of the lack of practical implementations of such a container
|
||||
rather than an inherent shortcoming of the container model.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In any event, both the discriminated-union or the single-element container
|
||||
models serve as a conceptual ground for a class representing optional—i.e.
|
||||
possibly uninitialized—objects. For instance, these models show the <span class="emphasis"><em>exact</em></span>
|
||||
semantics required for a wrapper of optional values:

|

Objects of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span></code>
|
||||
are intended to be used in places where objects of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>
|
||||
would but which might be uninitialized. Hence, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span></code>'s
|
||||
purpose is to formalize the additional possibly uninitialized state. From
|
||||
the perspective of this role, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span></code>
|
||||
can have the same operational semantics of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>
|
||||
plus the additional semantics corresponding to this special state. As such,
|
||||
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span></code> could
|
||||
be thought of as a <span class="emphasis"><em>supertype</em></span> of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>.
|
||||
Of course, we can't do that in C++, so we need to compose the desired semantics
|
||||
using a different mechanism. Doing it the other way around, that is, making
|
||||
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span></code> a
|
||||
<span class="emphasis"><em>subtype</em></span> of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>
|
||||
is not only conceptually wrong but also impractical: it is not allowed to
|
||||
derive from a non-class type, such as a built-in type.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
We can draw from the purpose of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span></code>

the required basic semantics:

|

<p>
|

Since the purpose of optional is to allow us to use objects with a formal
|
||||
uninitialized additional state, the interface could try to follow the interface
|
||||
of the underlying <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> type
|
||||
as much as possible. In order to choose the proper degree of adoption of
|
||||
the native <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> interface, the
|
||||
following must be noted: Even if all the operations supported by an instance
|
||||
of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> are defined for
|
||||
the entire range of values for such a type, an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span></code>
|
||||
extends such a set of values with a new value for which most (otherwise valid)
|
||||
operations are not defined in terms of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Furthermore, since <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span></code>
|
||||
itself is merely a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> wrapper
|
||||
(modeling a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> supertype),
|
||||
any attempt to define such operations upon uninitialized optionals will be
|
||||
totally artificial w.r.t. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This library chooses an interface which follows from <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s
|
||||
interface only for those operations which are well defined (w.r.t the type
|
||||
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>) even if any of the operands
|
||||
are uninitialized. These operations include: construction, copy-construction,
|
||||
assignment, swap and relational operations.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For the value access operations, which are undefined (w.r.t the type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>) when the operand is uninitialized, a
|
||||
different interface is chosen (which will be explained next).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Also, the presence of the possibly uninitialized state requires additional
|
||||
operations not provided by <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>
|
||||
itself which are supported by a special interface.

</h5>
|

<p>
|
||||
A relevant feature of a pointer is that it can have a <span class="bold"><strong>null
|
||||
pointer value</strong></span>. This is a <span class="emphasis"><em>special</em></span> value which
|
||||
is used to indicate that the pointer is not referring to any object at all.
|
||||
In other words, null pointer values convey the notion of inexistent objects.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This meaning of the null pointer value allowed pointers to became a <span class="emphasis"><em>de
|
||||
facto</em></span> standard for handling optional objects because all you have
|
||||
to do to refer to a value which you don't really have is to use a null pointer
|
||||
value of the appropriate type. Pointers have been used for decades—from
|
||||
the days of C APIs to modern C++ libraries—to <span class="emphasis"><em>refer</em></span>
|
||||
to optional (that is, possibly inexistent) objects; particularly as optional
|
||||
arguments to a function, but also quite often as optional data members.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The possible presence of a null pointer value makes the operations that access
|
||||
the pointee's value possibly undefined, therefore, expressions which use
|
||||
dereference and access operators, such as: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">(</span>
|
||||
<span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">p</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="number">2</span> <span class="special">)</span></code>
|
||||
and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">(</span> <span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">-></span><span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">()</span> <span class="special">)</span></code>, implicitly
|
||||
convey the notion of optionality, and this information is tied to the <span class="emphasis"><em>syntax</em></span>
|
||||
of the expressions. That is, the presence of operators <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">*</span></code>
|
||||
and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">-></span></code> tell by themselves
|
||||
—without any additional context— that the expression will be undefined
|
||||
unless the implied pointee actually exist.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Such a <span class="emphasis"><em>de facto</em></span> idiom for referring to optional objects
|
||||
can be formalized in the form of a concept: the <a href="../../../../utility/OptionalPointee.html" target="_top">OptionalPointee</a>
|
||||
concept. This concept captures the syntactic usage of operators <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">*</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">-></span></code>
|
||||
and conversion to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code> to convey
|
||||
the notion of optionality.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
However, pointers are good to <span class="underline">refer</span>
|
||||
to optional objects, but not particularly good to handle the optional objects
|
||||
in all other respects, such as initializing or moving/copying them. The problem
|
||||
resides in the shallow-copy of pointer semantics: if you need to effectively
|
||||
move or copy the object, pointers alone are not enough. The problem is that
|
||||
copies of pointers do not imply copies of pointees. For example, as was discussed
|
||||
in the motivation, pointers alone cannot be used to return optional objects
|
||||
from a function because the object must move outside from the function and
|
||||
into the caller's context.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A solution to the shallow-copy problem that is often used is to resort to
|
||||
dynamic allocation and use a smart pointer to automatically handle the details
|
||||
of this. For example, if a function is to optionally return an object <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">X</span></code>, it can use <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">shared_ptr</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">X</span><span class="special">></span></code>
|
||||
as the return value. However, this requires dynamic allocation of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">X</span></code>. If <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">X</span></code>
|
||||
is a built-in or small POD, this technique is very poor in terms of required
|
||||
resources. Optional objects are essentially values so it is very convenient
|
||||
to be able to use automatic storage and deep-copy semantics to manipulate
|
||||
optional values just as we do with ordinary values. Pointers do not have
|
||||
this semantics, so are inappropriate for the initialization and transport
|
||||
of optional values, yet are quite convenient for handling the access to the
|
||||
possible undefined value because of the idiomatic aid present in the <a href="../../../../utility/OptionalPointee.html" target="_top">OptionalPointee</a> concept
|
||||
incarnated by pointers.

relational operators are different: since <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span></code>
|
||||
is a value-wrapper, relational operators are deep: they compare optional
|
||||
values; but relational operators for pointers are shallow: they do not compare
|
||||
pointee values. As a result, you might be able to replace <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span></code>
|
||||
by <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">*</span></code>
|
||||
on some situations but not always. Specifically, on generic code written
|
||||
for both, you cannot use relational operators directly, and must use the
|
||||
template functions <a href="../../../../utility/OptionalPointee.html#equal" target="_top"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">equal_pointees</span><span class="special">()</span></code></a>
|
||||
and <a href="../../../../utility/OptionalPointee.html#less" target="_top"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">less_pointees</span><span class="special">()</span></code></a>
|
||||
instead.

<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 constructor and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s destructor
|
||||
are explicitly used to initialize,copy 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>.

One of the typical problems with wrappers and containers is that their interfaces
|
||||
usually provide an operation to initialize or assign the contained object as
|
||||
a copy of some other object. This not only requires the underlying type to
|
||||
be <a href="../../../../utility/CopyConstructible.html" target="_top">Copy Constructible</a>,
|
||||
but also requires the existence of a fully constructed object, often temporary,
|
||||
just to follow the copy from:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre class="programlisting">
|
||||
<span class="keyword">struct</span> <span class="identifier">X</span>
|

</pre>
|

<p>
|
||||
A solution to this problem is to support direct construction of the contained
|
||||
object right in the container's storage. In this scheme, the user only needs
|
||||
to supply the arguments to the constructor to use in the wrapped object construction.

<p>
|

A limitation of this method is that it doesn't scale well to wrapped objects
|
||||
with multiple constructors nor to generic code were the constructor overloads
|
||||
are unknown.

</p>
|

<p>
|

The solution presented in this library is the family of <span class="bold"><strong>InPlaceFactories</strong></span>
|
||||
and <span class="bold"><strong>TypedInPlaceFactories</strong></span>. These factories
|
||||
are a family of classes which encapsulate an increasing number of arbitrary
|
||||
constructor parameters and supply a method to construct an object of a given
|
||||
type using those parameters at an address specified by the user via placement
|
||||
new.

||||

The factories are divided in two groups:

</p>
|

<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
|

<li>
|

<span class="underline">TypedInPlaceFactories</span>: those which

|

function taking the target type.
|

</li>
|

</ul></div>
|

<p>

Within each group, all the family members differ only in the number of parameters
|

allowed.

This library provides an overloaded set of helper template functions to construct
|

these factories without requiring unnecessary template parameters:

This library allows the template parameter <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>
|

to be of reference type: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&</span></code>, and to some extent, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span>
|
||||
<span class="keyword">const</span><span class="special">&</span></code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
However, since references are not real objects some restrictions apply and
|
||||
some operations are not available in this case:

Also, even though <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&></span></code>
|
||||
treats it wrapped pseudo-object much as a real value, a true real reference

is stored so aliasing will ocurr:

<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">

will copy the references but all these references will nonetheless reefer

to the same object.
|

</li>
|

<li>
|

Value-access will actually provide access to the referenced object rather

It is true that <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">U</span><span class="special">></span></code> strives
|
||||
to behave as much as possible as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">U</span></code>
|
||||
does whenever it is initialized; but in the case when <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">U</span></code>
|
||||
is <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&</span></code>,
|
||||
doing so would result in inconsistent behavior w.r.t to the lvalue initialization
|
||||
state.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Imagine <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&></span></code>
|
||||
forwarding assignment to the referenced object (thus changing the referenced
|
||||
object value but not rebinding), and consider the following code:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre class="programlisting">
|
||||
<span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&></span> <span class="identifier">a</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">get</span><span class="special">();</span>
|
||||
<span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">x</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="number">1</span> <span class="special">;</span>
|
||||
<span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&</span> <span class="identifier">rx</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">x</span> <span class="special">;</span>
|
||||
<span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&></span> <span class="identifier">b</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">rx</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
||||
<span class="identifier">a</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">b</span> <span class="special">;</span>
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
What does the assignment do?
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span></code> is <span class="emphasis"><em>uninitialized</em></span>,
|
||||
the answer is clear: it binds to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">x</span></code>
|
||||
(we now have another reference to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">x</span></code>).
|
||||
But what if <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span></code> is already <span class="emphasis"><em>initialized</em></span>?
|
||||
it would change the value of the referenced object (whatever that is); which
|
||||
is inconsistent with the other possible case.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&></span></code>
|
||||
would assign just like <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&</span></code>
|
||||
does, you would never be able to use Optional's assignment without explicitly
|
||||
handling the previous initialization state unless your code is capable of functioning
|
||||
whether after the assignment, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span></code>
|
||||
aliases the same object as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">b</span></code>
|
||||
or not.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
That is, you would have to discriminate in order to be consistency.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If in your code rebinding to another object is not an option, then is very
|
||||
likely that binding for the fist time isn't either. In such case, assignment
|
||||
to an <span class="emphasis"><em>uninitialized </em></span> <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&></span></code>
|
||||
shall be prohibited. It is quite possible that in such scenario the precondition
|
||||
that the lvalue must be already initialized exist. If it doesn't, then binding
|
||||
for the first time is OK while rebinding is not which is IMO very unlikely.
|
||||
In such scenario, you can assign the value itself directly, as in:
|
||||
