<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>.
