23.6.3.1 Constructors [optional.ctor]

constexpr optional() noexcept; constexpr optional(nullopt_t) noexcept;
1
#
Postconditions: *this does not contain a value.
2
#
Remarks: No contained value is initialized.
For every object type T these constructors shall be constexpr constructors ([dcl.constexpr]).
constexpr optional(const optional& rhs);
3
#
Effects: If rhs contains a value, initializes the contained value as if direct-non-list-initializing an object of type T with the expression *rhs.
4
#
Postconditions: bool(rhs) == bool(*this).
5
#
Throws: Any exception thrown by the selected constructor of T.
6
#
Remarks: This constructor shall be defined as deleted unless is_­copy_­constructible_­v<T> is true.
If is_­trivially_­copy_­constructible_­v<T> is true, this constructor shall be a constexpr constructor.
constexpr optional(optional&& rhs) noexcept(see below);
7
#
Effects: If rhs contains a value, initializes the contained value as if direct-non-list-initializing an object of type T with the expression std​::​move(*rhs).
bool(rhs) is unchanged.
8
#
Postconditions: bool(rhs) == bool(*this).
9
#
Throws: Any exception thrown by the selected constructor of T.
10
#
Remarks: The expression inside noexcept is equivalent to is_­nothrow_­move_­constructible_­v<T>.
This constructor shall not participate in overload resolution unless is_­move_­constructible_­v<T> is true.
If is_­trivially_­move_­constructible_­v<T> is true, this constructor shall be a constexpr constructor.
template <class... Args> constexpr explicit optional(in_place_t, Args&&... args);
11
#
Effects: Initializes the contained value as if direct-non-list-initializing an object of type T with the arguments std​::​forward<Args>(args)....
12
#
Postconditions: *this contains a value.
13
#
Throws: Any exception thrown by the selected constructor of T.
14
#
Remarks: If T's constructor selected for the initialization is a constexpr constructor, this constructor shall be a constexpr constructor.
This constructor shall not participate in overload resolution unless is_­constructible_­v<T, Args...> is true.
template <class U, class... Args> constexpr explicit optional(in_place_t, initializer_list<U> il, Args&&... args);
15
#
Effects: Initializes the contained value as if direct-non-list-initializing an object of type T with the arguments il, std​::​forward<Args>(args)....
16
#
Postconditions: *this contains a value.
17
#
Throws: Any exception thrown by the selected constructor of T.
18
#
Remarks: This constructor shall not participate in overload resolution unless is_­constructible_­v<T, initializer_­list<U>&, Args&&...> is true.
If T's constructor selected for the initialization is a constexpr constructor, this constructor shall be a constexpr constructor.

#
[ Note
:
The following constructors are conditionally specified as explicit.
This is typically implemented by declaring two such constructors, of which at most one participates in overload resolution.

#
Effects: Initializes the contained value as if direct-non-list-initializing an object of type T with the expression std​::​forward<U>(v).

#
Postconditions: *this contains a value.
22
#
Throws: Any exception thrown by the selected constructor of T.
23

Remarks: If T's selected constructor is a constexpr constructor, this constructor shall be a constexpr constructor.
This constructor shall not participate in overload resolution unless is_­constructible_­v<T, U&&> is true, is_­same_­v<decay_­t<U>, in_­place_­t> is false, and is_­same_­v<optional<T>, decay_­t<U>> is false.
The constructor is explicit if and only if is_­convertible_­v<U&&, T> is false.

    is_­convertible_­v<const optional<U>&&, T> is false.
The constructor is explicit if and only if is_­convertible_­v<const U&, T> is false.
