Formal review: Optional library
by Douglas Gregor 09 Dec '02

09 Dec '02

The formal review of Fernando Cacciola's Optional library begins today and runs until the end of Wednesday, December 18. The Optional library provides a class template "optional<T>" that either contains a value of type "T" or contains no value (i.e., having a value is optional). It is useful, for example, as the return type of functions that may or may not return a value, depending on their inputs. The Optional library can be downloaded from the Boost files section: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/optional.zip Please state in review comments whether or not you believe that the library should be accepted into Boost. Further guidelines for writing reviews can be found here: http://www.boost.org/more/formal_review_process.htm#Comments Thank you, Doug Gregor (Optional (but not uninitialized) review manager)
