Comment(by anonymous):

 Why the assertion should not fail? You are using a global variable optr
 ion the two threads. The following interleaving seems possible


     optr=in_place(); optr->reset(new int); // main
     optr=none; optr=in_place(); // other_thread
     assert(optr->get() == 0); //// main succeed

 As the global variable has been re-assigned with in_place().
 Am I missing something?
