std::nullopt_t - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

| | | | | ------------------ | | ------------- | | struct nullopt_t; | | (since C++17) |

std::nullopt_t is an empty class type used to indicate that an std::optional does not contain a value.

std::nullopt_t is a non-aggregate LiteralType that has no default constructor, no initializer-list constructor, but does have a constexpr constructor that takes an implementation-defined literal type.

[edit] Notes

The constraints on nullopt_t's constructors exist to support both op = {}; and op = nullopt; as the syntax for disengaging an optional object.

A possible implementation of this class is

struct nullopt_t { constexpr explicit nullopt_t(int) {} };
