+<p>
+      <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> should
+      be used with special caution and consideration.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      First, it is functionally similar to a tristate boolean (false, maybe, true)
+      &#8212;such as <a href="../../../../../doc/html/tribool.html" target="_top">boost::tribool</a>&#8212;
+      except that in a tristate boolean, the maybe state <span class="underline">represents
+      a valid value</span>, unlike the corresponding state of an uninitialized
+      <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>. It
+      should be carefully considered if an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+      instead of a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">tribool</span></code> is really
+      needed.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      Second, although <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;&gt;</span></code>
+      provides a contextual conversion to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>
+      in C++11, this falls back to an implicit conversion on older compilers. This
+      conversion refers to the initialization state and not to the contained value.
+      Using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> can
+      lead to subtle errors due to the implicit <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>
+      conversion:
+    </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">foo</span> <span class="special">(</span> <span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">v</span> <span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">;</span>
+<span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">bar</span><span class="special">()</span>
+<span class="special">{</span>
+    <span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">v</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="keyword">try</span><span class="special">();</span>
+
+    <span class="comment">// The following intended to pass the value of 'v' to foo():</span>
+    <span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">v</span><span class="special">);</span>
+    <span class="comment">// But instead, the initialization state is passed</span>
+    <span class="comment">// due to a typo: it should have been foo(*v).</span>
+<span class="special">}</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+      The only implicit conversion is to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>,
+      and it is safe in the sense that typical integral promotions don't apply (i.e.
+      if <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">()</span></code>
+      takes an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code> instead, it won't
+      compile).
+    </p>
+<p>
+      Third, mixed comparisons with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>
+      work differently than similar mixed comparisons between pointers and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>, so the results might surprise you:
+    </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">oEmpty</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">none</span><span class="special">),</span> <span class="identifier">oTrue</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">true</span><span class="special">),</span> <span class="identifier">oFalse</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">false</span><span class="special">);</span>

+<p>
+      In other words, for <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;&gt;</span></code>, the following assertion does not hold:
+    </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">assert</span><span class="special">((</span><span class="identifier">opt</span> <span class="special">==</span> <span class="keyword">false</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">==</span> <span class="special">(!</span><span class="identifier">opt</span><span class="special">));</span>

+<p>
+        <a name="optional_reference_binding"></a>A number of compilers incorrectly
+        treat const lvalues of integral type as rvalues, and create an illegal temporary
+        when binding to an lvalue reference to const in some expressions. This could
+        result in creating an optional lvalue reference that is in fact bound to
+        an unexpected temporary rather than to the intended object. In order to prevent
+        hard to find run-time bugs, this library performs compile-time checks to
+        prevent expressions that would otherwise bind an optional reference to an
+        unexpected temporary. As a consequence, on certain compilers certain pieces
+        of functionality in optional references are missing. In order to maintain
+        a portability of your code across diferent compilers, it is recommended that
+        you only stick to the minimum portable interface of optional references:
+        prefer direct-initialization and copy assignment of optional references to
+        copy-initialization and assignment from <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&amp;</span></code>:

+<p>
+        In C++, we can <span class="emphasis"><em>declare</em></span> an object (a variable) of type
+        <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>, and we can give this variable
+        an <span class="emphasis"><em>initial value</em></span> (through an <span class="emphasis"><em>initializer</em></span>.
+        (cf. 8.5)). When a declaration includes a non-empty initializer (an initial
+        value is given), it is said that the object has been initialized. If the
+        declaration uses an empty initializer (no initial value is given), and neither
+        default nor value initialization applies, it is said that the object is
+        <span class="bold"><strong>uninitialized</strong></span>. Its actual value exist but
+        has an <span class="emphasis"><em>indeterminate initial value</em></span> (cf. 8.5/11). <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> intends
+        to formalize the notion of initialization (or lack of it) allowing a program
+        to test whether an object has been initialized and stating that access to
+        the value of an uninitialized object is undefined behavior. That is, when
+        a variable is declared as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+        and no initial value is given, the variable is <span class="emphasis"><em>formally</em></span>
+        uninitialized. A formally uninitialized optional object has conceptually
+        no value at all and this situation can be tested at runtime. It is formally
+        <span class="emphasis"><em>undefined behavior</em></span> to try to access the value of an
+        uninitialized optional. An uninitialized optional can be assigned a value,
+        in which case its initialization state changes to initialized. Furthermore,
+        given the formal treatment of initialization states in optional objects,
+        it is even possible to reset an optional to <span class="emphasis"><em>uninitialized</em></span>.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        In C++ there is no formal notion of uninitialized objects, which means that
+        objects always have an initial value even if indeterminate. As discussed
+        on the previous section, this has a drawback because you need additional
+        information to tell if an object has been effectively initialized. One of
+        the typical ways in which this has been historically dealt with is via a
+        special value: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">EOF</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">npos</span></code>, -1, etc... This is equivalent to
+        adding the special value to the set of possible values of a given type. This
+        super set of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> plus some
+        <span class="emphasis"><em>nil_t</em></span>&#8212;where <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">nil_t</span></code>
+        is some stateless POD&#8212;can be modeled in modern languages as a <span class="bold"><strong>discriminated union</strong></span> of T and nil_t. Discriminated
+        unions are often called <span class="emphasis"><em>variants</em></span>. A variant has a <span class="emphasis"><em>current

+        There is precedent for a discriminated union as a model for an optional value:
+        the <a href="http://www.haskell.org/" target="_top">Haskell</a> <span class="bold"><strong>Maybe</strong></span>
+        built-in type constructor. Thus, a discriminated union <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">+</span><span class="identifier">nil_t</span></code>
+        serves as a conceptual foundation.

+        A <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">variant</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">nil_t</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> follows naturally from the traditional
+        idiom of extending the range of possible values adding an additional sentinel
+        value with the special meaning of <span class="emphasis"><em>Nothing</em></span>. However,
+        this additional <span class="emphasis"><em>Nothing</em></span> value is largely irrelevant
+        for our purpose since our goal is to formalize the notion of uninitialized
+        objects and, while a special extended value can be used to convey that meaning,
+        it is not strictly necessary in order to do so.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        The observation made in the last paragraph about the irrelevant nature of
+        the additional <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">nil_t</span></code> with
+        respect to <span class="underline">purpose</span> of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> suggests
+        an alternative model: a <span class="emphasis"><em>container</em></span> that either has a
+        value of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> or nothing.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        As of this writing I don't know of any precedent for a variable-size fixed-capacity
+        (of 1) stack-based container model for optional values, yet I believe this
+        is the consequence of the lack of practical implementations of such a container
+        rather than an inherent shortcoming of the container model.

+<p>
+        In any event, both the discriminated-union or the single-element container

+<p>
+        Since the purpose of optional is to allow us to use objects with a formal
+        uninitialized additional state, the interface could try to follow the interface
+        of the underlying <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> type
+        as much as possible. In order to choose the proper degree of adoption of
+        the native <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> interface, the
+        following must be noted: Even if all the operations supported by an instance
+        of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> are defined for
+        the entire range of values for such a type, an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+        extends such a set of values with a new value for which most (otherwise valid)
+        operations are not defined in terms of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Furthermore, since <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+        itself is merely a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> wrapper
+        (modeling a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> supertype),
+        any attempt to define such operations upon uninitialized optionals will be
+        totally artificial w.r.t. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        This library chooses an interface which follows from <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s
+        interface only for those operations which are well defined (w.r.t the type
+        <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>) even if any of the operands
+        are uninitialized. These operations include: construction, copy-construction,
+        assignment, swap and relational operations.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        For the value access operations, which are undefined (w.r.t the type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>) when the operand is uninitialized, a
+        different interface is chosen (which will be explained next).
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Also, the presence of the possibly uninitialized state requires additional
+        operations not provided by <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>
+        itself which are supported by a special interface.

+        A relevant feature of a pointer is that it can have a <span class="bold"><strong>null
+        pointer value</strong></span>. This is a <span class="emphasis"><em>special</em></span> value which
+        is used to indicate that the pointer is not referring to any object at all.
+        In other words, null pointer values convey the notion of nonexistent objects.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        This meaning of the null pointer value allowed pointers to became a <span class="emphasis"><em>de
+        facto</em></span> standard for handling optional objects because all you have
+        to do to refer to a value which you don't really have is to use a null pointer
+        value of the appropriate type. Pointers have been used for decades&#8212;from
+        the days of C APIs to modern C++ libraries&#8212;to <span class="emphasis"><em>refer</em></span>
+        to optional (that is, possibly nonexistent) objects; particularly as optional
+        arguments to a function, but also quite often as optional data members.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        The possible presence of a null pointer value makes the operations that access
+        the pointee's value possibly undefined, therefore, expressions which use
+        dereference and access operators, such as: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">(</span>
+        <span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">p</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="number">2</span> <span class="special">)</span></code>
+        and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">(</span> <span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">-&gt;</span><span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">()</span> <span class="special">)</span></code>, implicitly
+        convey the notion of optionality, and this information is tied to the <span class="emphasis"><em>syntax</em></span>
+        of the expressions. That is, the presence of operators <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">*</span></code>
+        and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">-&gt;</span></code> tell by themselves
+        &#8212;without any additional context&#8212; that the expression will be undefined
+        unless the implied pointee actually exist.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Such a <span class="emphasis"><em>de facto</em></span> idiom for referring to optional objects
+        can be formalized in the form of a concept: the <a href="../../../../utility/OptionalPointee.html" target="_top">OptionalPointee</a>
+        concept. This concept captures the syntactic usage of operators <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">*</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">-&gt;</span></code>
+        and contextual conversion to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>
+        to convey the notion of optionality.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        However, pointers are good to <span class="underline">refer</span>
+        to optional objects, but not particularly good to handle the optional objects
+        in all other respects, such as initializing or moving/copying them. The problem
+        resides in the shallow-copy of pointer semantics: if you need to effectively
+        move or copy the object, pointers alone are not enough. The problem is that
+        copies of pointers do not imply copies of pointees. For example, as was discussed
+        in the motivation, pointers alone cannot be used to return optional objects
+        from a function because the object must move outside from the function and
+        into the caller's context.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        A solution to the shallow-copy problem that is often used is to resort to
+        dynamic allocation and use a smart pointer to automatically handle the details
+        of this. For example, if a function is to optionally return an object <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">X</span></code>, it can use <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">shared_ptr</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">X</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+        as the return value. However, this requires dynamic allocation of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">X</span></code>. If <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">X</span></code>
+        is a built-in or small POD, this technique is very poor in terms of required
+        resources. Optional objects are essentially values so it is very convenient
+        to be able to use automatic storage and deep-copy semantics to manipulate
+        optional values just as we do with ordinary values. Pointers do not have
+        this semantics, so are inappropriate for the initialization and transport
+        of optional values, yet are quite convenient for handling the access to the
+        possible undefined value because of the idiomatic aid present in the <a href="../../../../utility/OptionalPointee.html" target="_top">OptionalPointee</a> concept
+        incarnated by pointers.

+      Consider these functions which should return a value but which might not have
+      a value to return:
+    </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
+<li class="listitem">
+          (A) <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">sqrt</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">n</span> <span class="special">);</span></code>
+        </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+          (B) <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">char</span> <span class="identifier">get_async_input</span><span class="special">();</span></code>
+        </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+          (C) <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">point</span> <span class="identifier">polygon</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">get_any_point_effectively_inside</span><span class="special">();</span></code>
+        </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+      There are different approaches to the issue of not having a value to return.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      A typical approach is to consider the existence of a valid return value as
+      a postcondition, so that if the function cannot compute the value to return,
+      it has either undefined behavior (and can use assert in a debug build) or uses
+      a runtime check and throws an exception if the postcondition is violated. This
+      is a reasonable choice for example, for function (A), because the lack of a
+      proper return value is directly related to an invalid parameter (out of domain
+      argument), so it is appropriate to require the callee to supply only parameters
+      in a valid domain for execution to continue normally.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      However, function (B), because of its asynchronous nature, does not fail just
+      because it can't find a value to return; so it is incorrect to consider such
+      a situation an error and assert or throw an exception. This function must return,
+      and somehow, must tell the callee that it is not returning a meaningful value.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      A similar situation occurs with function (C): it is conceptually an error to
+      ask a <span class="emphasis"><em>null-area</em></span> polygon to return a point inside itself,
+      but in many applications, it is just impractical for performance reasons to
+      treat this as an error (because detecting that the polygon has no area might
+      be too expensive to be required to be tested previously), and either an arbitrary
+      point (typically at infinity) is returned, or some efficient way to tell the
+      callee that there is no such point is used.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      There are various mechanisms to let functions communicate that the returned
+      value is not valid. One such mechanism, which is quite common since it has
+      zero or negligible overhead, is to use a special value which is reserved to
+      communicate this. Classical examples of such special values are <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">EOF</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">npos</span></code>, points
+      at infinity, etc...
+    </p>
+<p>
+      When those values exist, i.e. the return type can hold all meaningful values
+      <span class="emphasis"><em>plus</em></span> the <span class="emphasis"><em>signal</em></span> value, this mechanism
+      is quite appropriate and well known. Unfortunately, there are cases when such
+      values do not exist. In these cases, the usual alternative is either to use
+      a wider type, such as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code> in place
+      of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">char</span></code>; or a compound type, such
+      as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">point</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      Returning a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>, thus attaching a boolean flag to the result
+      which indicates if the result is meaningful, has the advantage that can be
+      turned into a consistent idiom since the first element of the pair can be whatever
+      the function would conceptually return. For example, the last two functions
+      could have the following interface:
+    </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">char</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">get_async_input</span><span class="special">();</span>
+<span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">point</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">polygon</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">get_any_point_effectively_inside</span><span class="special">();</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+      These functions use a consistent interface for dealing with possibly nonexistent
+      results:
+    </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">point</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">p</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">poly</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">get_any_point_effectively_inside</span><span class="special">();</span>
+<span class="keyword">if</span> <span class="special">(</span> <span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">second</span> <span class="special">)</span>
+    <span class="identifier">flood_fill</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">first</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+      However, not only is this quite a burden syntactically, it is also error prone
+      since the user can easily use the function result (first element of the pair)
+      without ever checking if it has a valid value.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      Clearly, we need a better idiom.

+      They forward calls to the corresponding <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s
+      constructors or assignments (depending on whether the optional object is initialized
+      or not); so if both <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s constructor
+      and the assignment provide strong exception safety guarantee, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>'s assignment
+      also provides strong exception safety guarantee; otherwise we only get the
+      basic guarantee. Additionally, if both involved <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s
+      constructor and the assignment never throw, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>'s
+      assignment also never throws.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      Unless <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s constructor or assignment
+      throws, assignments to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+      do not throw anything else on its own. A throw during assignment never changes
+      the initialization state of any optional object involved:
+    </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">opt1</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">val1</span><span class="special">);</span>

+<p>
+      This also applies to move assignments/constructors. However, move operations
+      are made no-throw more often.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      Operation <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">emplace</span></code> provides
+      basic exception safety guarantee. If it throws, the optional object becomes
+      uninitialized regardless of its initial state, and its previous contained value
+      (if any) is destroyed. It doesn't call any assignment or move/copy constructor
+      on <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>.

+    </h4>
+<p>
+      Unless <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">swap</span></code> on optional is
+      customized, its primary implementation forwards calls to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s
+      <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">swap</span></code> or move constructor (depending
+      on the initialization state of the optional objects). Thus, if both <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">swap</span></code>
+      and move constructor never throw, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">swap</span></code>
+      on <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> never

+      <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">swap</span></code> and move constructor offer
+      strong guarantee, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">swap</span></code> on
+      <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> also
+      offers a strong guarantee.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      In case <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">swap</span></code> on optional is
+      customized, the call to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s
+      move constructor are replaced with the calls to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s
+      default constructor followed by <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">swap</span></code>.
+      (This is more useful on older compilers that do not support move semantics,
+      when one wants to acheive stronger exception safety guarantees.) In this case
+      the exception safety guarantees for <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">swap</span></code>
+      are reliant on the guarantees of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s
+      <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">swap</span></code> and default constructor

+      <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> is

+      (both from Type Traits). It uses a separate boolean flag to indicate the initialization

+      copy/move constructor and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s

+<p>
+      One of the typical problems with wrappers and containers is that their interfaces
+      usually provide an operation to initialize or assign the contained object as
+      a copy of some other object. This not only requires the underlying type to
+      be <a href="../../../../utility/CopyConstructible.html" target="_top">Copy Constructible</a>,
+      but also requires the existence of a fully constructed object, often temporary,
+      just to follow the copy from:
+    </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">struct</span> <span class="identifier">X</span>

+      A solution to this problem is to support direct construction of the contained
+      object right in the container's storage. In this scheme, the user only needs
+      to supply the arguments to the constructor to use in the wrapped object construction.

+      A limitation of this method is that it doesn't scale well to wrapped objects

+      The solution presented in this library is the family of <span class="bold"><strong>InPlaceFactories</strong></span>

+      are a family of classes which encapsulate an increasing number of arbitrary

+      Consider these functions which should return a value but which might not have
+      a value to return:
+    </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
+<li class="listitem">
+          (A) <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">sqrt</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">n</span> <span class="special">);</span></code>
+        </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+          (B) <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">char</span> <span class="identifier">get_async_input</span><span class="special">();</span></code>
+        </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+          (C) <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">point</span> <span class="identifier">polygon</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">get_any_point_effectively_inside</span><span class="special">();</span></code>
+        </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+      There are different approaches to the issue of not having a value to return.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      A typical approach is to consider the existence of a valid return value as
+      a postcondition, so that if the function cannot compute the value to return,
+      it has either undefined behavior (and can use assert in a debug build) or uses
+      a runtime check and throws an exception if the postcondition is violated. This
+      is a reasonable choice for example, for function (A), because the lack of a
+      proper return value is directly related to an invalid parameter (out of domain
+      argument), so it is appropriate to require the callee to supply only parameters
+      in a valid domain for execution to continue normally.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      However, function (B), because of its asynchronous nature, does not fail just
+      because it can't find a value to return; so it is incorrect to consider such
+      a situation an error and assert or throw an exception. This function must return,
+      and somehow, must tell the callee that it is not returning a meaningful value.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      A similar situation occurs with function (C): it is conceptually an error to
+      ask a <span class="emphasis"><em>null-area</em></span> polygon to return a point inside itself,
+      but in many applications, it is just impractical for performance reasons to
+      treat this as an error (because detecting that the polygon has no area might
+      be too expensive to be required to be tested previously), and either an arbitrary
+      point (typically at infinity) is returned, or some efficient way to tell the
+      callee that there is no such point is used.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      There are various mechanisms to let functions communicate that the returned
+      value is not valid. One such mechanism, which is quite common since it has
+      zero or negligible overhead, is to use a special value which is reserved to
+      communicate this. Classical examples of such special values are <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">EOF</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">npos</span></code>, points
+      at infinity, etc...
+    </p>
+<p>
+      When those values exist, i.e. the return type can hold all meaningful values
+      <span class="emphasis"><em>plus</em></span> the <span class="emphasis"><em>signal</em></span> value, this mechanism
+      is quite appropriate and well known. Unfortunately, there are cases when such
+      values do not exist. In these cases, the usual alternative is either to use
+      a wider type, such as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code> in place
+      of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">char</span></code>; or a compound type, such
+      as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">point</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      Returning a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>, thus attaching a boolean flag to the result
+      which indicates if the result is meaningful, has the advantage that can be
+      turned into a consistent idiom since the first element of the pair can be whatever
+      the function would conceptually return. For example, the last two functions
+      could have the following interface:
+    </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">char</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">get_async_input</span><span class="special">();</span>
+<span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">point</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">polygon</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">get_any_point_effectively_inside</span><span class="special">();</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+      These functions use a consistent interface for dealing with possibly nonexistent
+      results:
+    </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">point</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">p</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">poly</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">get_any_point_effectively_inside</span><span class="special">();</span>
+<span class="keyword">if</span> <span class="special">(</span> <span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">second</span> <span class="special">)</span>
+    <span class="identifier">flood_fill</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">first</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+      However, not only is this quite a burden syntactically, it is also error prone
+      since the user can easily use the function result (first element of the pair)
+      without ever checking if it has a valid value.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      Clearly, we need a better idiom.

+      Rvalue references and lvalue references to const have the ability in C++ to

+<p>
+        Let's write and use a converter function that converts a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span></code>
+        to an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code>. It is possible that
+        for a given string (e.g. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="string">"cat"</span></code>)
+        there exists no value of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code>
+        capable of representing the conversion result. We do not consider such situation
+        an error. We expect that the converter can be used only to check if the conversion
+        is possible. A natural signature for this function can be:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="preprocessor">#include</span> <span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">&gt;</span>
+<span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">convert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">&amp;</span> <span class="identifier">text</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        All necessary functionality can be included with one header <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>.
+        The above function signature means that the function can either return a
+        value of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code> or a flag
+        indicating that no value of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code>
+        is available. This does not indicate an error. It is like one additional
+        value of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code>. This is how we
+        can use our function:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">&amp;</span> <span class="identifier">text</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="comment">/*... */</span><span class="special">;</span>

+</pre>
+<p>
+        In order to test if <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span></code>
+        contains a value, we use the contextual conversion to type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>. Because of this we can combine the initialization
+        of the optional object and the test into one instruction:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">if</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">oi</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">convert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">text</span><span class="special">))</span>
+  <span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">i</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">oi</span><span class="special">;</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        We extract the contained value with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">operator</span><span class="special">*</span></code> (and with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">operator</span><span class="special">-&gt;</span></code> where it makes sense). An attempt to
+        extract the contained value of an uninitialized optional object is an <span class="emphasis"><em>undefined
+        behaviour</em></span> (UB). This implementation guards the call with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_ASSERT</span></code>. Therefore you should be sure
+        that the contained value is there before extracting. For instance, the following
+        code is reasonably UB-safe:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">i</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">convert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"100"</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        This is because we know that string value <code class="computeroutput"><span class="string">"100"</span></code>
+        converts to a valid value of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code>.
+        If you do not like this potential UB, you can use an alternative way of extracting
+        the contained value:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">try</span> <span class="special">{</span>
+  <span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">j</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">convert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">text</span><span class="special">).</span><span class="identifier">value</span><span class="special">();</span>
+<span class="special">}</span>
+<span class="keyword">catch</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">bad_optional_access</span><span class="special">&amp;)</span> <span class="special">{</span>
+  <span class="comment">// deal with it</span>
+<span class="special">}</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        This version throws an exception upon an attempt to access a non-existent
+        contained value. If your way of dealing with the missing value is to use
+        some default, like <code class="computeroutput"><span class="number">0</span></code>, there exists
+        a yet another alternative:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">k</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">convert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">text</span><span class="special">).</span><span class="identifier">value_or</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">0</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        This uses the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">atoi</span></code>-like approach
+        to conversions: if <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">text</span></code> does
+        not represent an integral number just return <code class="computeroutput"><span class="number">0</span></code>.
+        Finally, you can provide a callback to be called when trying to access the
+        contained value fails:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">fallback_to_default</span><span class="special">()</span>
+<span class="special">{</span>
+  <span class="identifier">cerr</span> <span class="special">&lt;&lt;</span> <span class="string">"could not convert; using -1 instead"</span> <span class="special">&lt;&lt;</span> <span class="identifier">endl</span><span class="special">;</span>
+  <span class="keyword">return</span> <span class="special">-</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">;</span>
+<span class="special">}</span>
+
+<span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">l</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">convert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">text</span><span class="special">).</span><span class="identifier">value_or_eval</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">fallback_to_default</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        This will call the provided callback and return whatever the callback returns.
+        The callback can have side effects: they will only be observed when the optional
+        object does not contain a value.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Now, let's consider how function <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">convert</span></code>
+        can be implemented.
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">convert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">&amp;</span> <span class="identifier">text</span><span class="special">)</span>

+<span class="special">}</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        Observe the two return statements. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">return</span>
+        <span class="identifier">i</span></code> uses the converting constructor
+        that can create <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+        from <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>. Thus constructed
+        optional object is initialized and its value is a copy of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">i</span></code>.
+        The other return statement uses another converting constructor from a special
+        tag <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">none</span></code>. It is used to indicate that we want
+        to create an uninitialized optional object.

+        Suppose we have class <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Date</span></code>,

+        to an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code>. It is possible that
+        for a given string (e.g. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="string">"cat"</span></code>)
+        there exist no value of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code>
+        capable of representing the conversion result. We do not consider such situation
+        an error. We expect that the converter can be used only to check if the conversion
+        is possible. A natural signature for this function can be:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="preprocessor">#include</span> <span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">&gt;</span>
+<span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">optionl</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">convert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">&amp;</span> <span class="identifier">text</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        All necessary functionality can be included with one header <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>.
+        The above function signature means that the function can either return a
+        value of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code> or a flag
+        indicating that no value of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code>
+        is available. This does not indicate an error. It is like one additional
+        value of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code>. This is how we
+        can use our function:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">&amp;</span> <span class="identifier">text</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="comment">/*... */</span><span class="special">;</span>

+</pre>
+<p>
+        In order to test if <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span></code>
+        contains a value, we use the contextual conversion to type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>. Because of this we can combine the initialization
+        of the optional object and the test into one instruction:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">if</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">optionl</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">oi</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">convert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">text</span><span class="special">))</span>
+  <span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">i</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">oi</span><span class="special">;</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        We extract the contained value with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">operator</span><span class="special">*</span></code> (and with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">operator</span><span class="special">-&gt;</span></code> where it makes sense). An attempt to
+        extract the contained value of an uninitialized optional object is an <span class="emphasis"><em>undefined
+        behaviour</em></span> (UB). This implementation guards the call with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_ASSERT</span></code>. Therefore you should be sure
+        that the contained value is there before extracting. For instance, the following
+        code is reasonably UB-safe:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">i</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">convert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"100"</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        This is because we know that string value <code class="computeroutput"><span class="string">"100"</span></code>
+        converts to a valid value of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code>.
+        If you do not like this potential UB, you can use an alternative way of extracting
+        the contained value:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">try</span> <span class="special">{</span>
+  <span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">j</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">convert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">text</span><span class="special">).</span><span class="identifier">value</span><span class="special">();</span>
+<span class="special">}</span>
+<span class="keyword">catch</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">bad_optional_access</span><span class="special">&amp;)</span> <span class="special">{</span>
+  <span class="comment">// deal with it</span>
+<span class="special">}</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        This version throws an exception upon an attempt to access a non-existent
+        contained value. If your way of dealing with the missing value is to use
+        some default, like <code class="computeroutput"><span class="number">0</span></code>, there exists
+        a yet another alternative:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">k</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">convert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">text</span><span class="special">).</span><span class="identifier">value_or</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">0</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        This uses the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">atoi</span></code>-like approach
+        to conversions: if <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">text</span></code> does
+        not represent an integral number just return <code class="computeroutput"><span class="number">0</span></code>.
+        Now, let's consider how function <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">convert</span></code>
+        can be implemented.
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">optionl</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">convert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">&amp;</span> <span class="identifier">text</span><span class="special">)</span>

+</pre>
+<p>
+        Observe the two return statements. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">return</span>
+        <span class="identifier">i</span></code> uses the converting constructor
+        that can create <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+        from <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>. Thus constructed
+        optional object is initialized and its value is a copy of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">i</span></code>.
+        The other return statement uses another converting constructor from a special
+        tag <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">none</span></code>. It is used to indicate that we want
+        to create an uninitialized optional object.

+    </h4>
+<p>
+      Rebinding semantics for the assignment of <span class="emphasis"><em>initialized </em></span>
+      <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span></code> references has been
+      chosen to provide <span class="bold"><strong>consistency among initialization states</strong></span>
+      even at the expense of lack of consistency with the semantics of bare C++ references.
+      It is true that <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">U</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> strives
+      to behave as much as possible as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">U</span></code>
+      does whenever it is initialized; but in the case when <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">U</span></code>
+      is <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&amp;</span></code>,
+      doing so would result in inconsistent behavior w.r.t to the lvalue initialization
+      state.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      Imagine <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&amp;&gt;</span></code>
+      forwarding assignment to the referenced object (thus changing the referenced
+      object value but not rebinding), and consider the following code:
+    </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&amp;&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">a</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">get</span><span class="special">();</span>
+<span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">x</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="number">1</span> <span class="special">;</span>
+<span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&amp;</span> <span class="identifier">rx</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">x</span> <span class="special">;</span>
+<span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&amp;&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">b</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">rx</span><span class="special">);</span>
+<span class="identifier">a</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">b</span> <span class="special">;</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+      What does the assignment do?
+    </p>
+<p>
+      If <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span></code> is <span class="emphasis"><em>uninitialized</em></span>,
+      the answer is clear: it binds to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">x</span></code>
+      (we now have another reference to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">x</span></code>).
+      But what if <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span></code> is already <span class="emphasis"><em>initialized</em></span>?
+      it would change the value of the referenced object (whatever that is); which
+      is inconsistent with the other possible case.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      If <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&amp;&gt;</span></code>
+      would assign just like <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&amp;</span></code>
+      does, you would never be able to use Optional's assignment without explicitly
+      handling the previous initialization state unless your code is capable of functioning
+      whether after the assignment, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span></code>
+      aliases the same object as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">b</span></code>
+      or not.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      That is, you would have to discriminate in order to be consistent.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      If in your code rebinding to another object is not an option, then it is very
+      likely that binding for the first time isn't either. In such case, assignment
+      to an <span class="emphasis"><em>uninitialized </em></span> <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&amp;&gt;</span></code>
+      shall be prohibited. It is quite possible that in such a scenario it is a precondition
+      that the lvalue must be already initialized. If it isn't, then binding for
+      the first time is OK while rebinding is not which is IMO very unlikely. In
+      such a scenario, you can assign the value itself directly, as in:

+<p>
+          On compilers that do not conform to Standard C++ rules of reference binding,
+          operations on optional references might give adverse results: rather than
+          binding a reference to a designated object they may create an unexpected
+          temporary and bind to it. Compilers known to have these deficiencies include
+          GCC versions 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5; QCC 4.4.2; MSVC versions 8.0, 9.0, 10.0,
+          11.0, 12.0. On these compilers prefer using direct-initialization and copy
+          assignment of optional references to copy-initialization and assignment
+          from <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&amp;</span></code>:

+        Consider these functions which should return a value but which might not
+        have a value to return:
+      </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
+<li class="listitem">
+            (A) <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">sqrt</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">n</span> <span class="special">);</span></code>
+          </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+            (B) <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">char</span> <span class="identifier">get_async_input</span><span class="special">();</span></code>
+          </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+            (C) <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">point</span> <span class="identifier">polygon</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">get_any_point_effectively_inside</span><span class="special">();</span></code>
+          </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+        There are different approaches to the issue of not having a value to return.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        A typical approach is to consider the existence of a valid return value as
+        a postcondition, so that if the function cannot compute the value to return,
+        it has either undefined behavior (and can use assert in a debug build) or
+        uses a runtime check and throws an exception if the postcondition is violated.
+        This is a reasonable choice for example, for function (A), because the lack
+        of a proper return value is directly related to an invalid parameter (out
+        of domain argument), so it is appropriate to require the callee to supply
+        only parameters in a valid domain for execution to continue normally.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        However, function (B), because of its asynchronous nature, does not fail
+        just because it can't find a value to return; so it is incorrect to consider
+        such a situation an error and assert or throw an exception. This function
+        must return, and somehow, must tell the callee that it is not returning a
+        meaningful value.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        A similar situation occurs with function (C): it is conceptually an error
+        to ask a <span class="emphasis"><em>null-area</em></span> polygon to return a point inside
+        itself, but in many applications, it is just impractical for performance
+        reasons to treat this as an error (because detecting that the polygon has
+        no area might be too expensive to be required to be tested previously), and
+        either an arbitrary point (typically at infinity) is returned, or some efficient
+        way to tell the callee that there is no such point is used.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        There are various mechanisms to let functions communicate that the returned
+        value is not valid. One such mechanism, which is quite common since it has
+        zero or negligible overhead, is to use a special value which is reserved
+        to communicate this. Classical examples of such special values are <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">EOF</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">npos</span></code>,
+        points at infinity, etc...
+      </p>
+<p>
+        When those values exist, i.e. the return type can hold all meaningful values
+        <span class="emphasis"><em>plus</em></span> the <span class="emphasis"><em>signal</em></span> value, this mechanism
+        is quite appropriate and well known. Unfortunately, there are cases when
+        such values do not exist. In these cases, the usual alternative is either
+        to use a wider type, such as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code>
+        in place of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">char</span></code>; or a compound
+        type, such as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">point</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Returning a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>, thus attaching a boolean flag to the
+        result which indicates if the result is meaningful, has the advantage that
+        can be turned into a consistent idiom since the first element of the pair
+        can be whatever the function would conceptually return. For example, the
+        last two functions could have the following interface:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">char</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">get_async_input</span><span class="special">();</span>
+<span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">point</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">polygon</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">get_any_point_effectively_inside</span><span class="special">();</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        These functions use a consistent interface for dealing with possibly nonexistent
+        results:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">point</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">p</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">poly</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">get_any_point_effectively_inside</span><span class="special">();</span>
+<span class="keyword">if</span> <span class="special">(</span> <span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">second</span> <span class="special">)</span>
+    <span class="identifier">flood_fill</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">first</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        However, not only is this quite a burden syntactically, it is also error
+        prone since the user can easily use the function result (first element of
+        the pair) without ever checking if it has a valid value.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Clearly, we need a better idiom.

+<p>
+          In C++, we can <span class="emphasis"><em>declare</em></span> an object (a variable) of type
+          <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>, and we can give this
+          variable an <span class="emphasis"><em>initial value</em></span> (through an <span class="emphasis"><em>initializer</em></span>.
+          (cf. 8.5)). When a declaration includes a non-empty initializer (an initial
+          value is given), it is said that the object has been initialized. If the
+          declaration uses an empty initializer (no initial value is given), and
+          neither default nor value initialization applies, it is said that the object
+          is <span class="bold"><strong>uninitialized</strong></span>. Its actual value exist
+          but has an <span class="emphasis"><em>indeterminate initial value</em></span> (cf. 8.5/11).
+          <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+          intends to formalize the notion of initialization (or lack of it) allowing
+          a program to test whether an object has been initialized and stating that
+          access to the value of an uninitialized object is undefined behavior. That
+          is, when a variable is declared as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> and no initial value is given, the
+          variable is <span class="emphasis"><em>formally</em></span> uninitialized. A formally uninitialized
+          optional object has conceptually no value at all and this situation can
+          be tested at runtime. It is formally <span class="emphasis"><em>undefined behavior</em></span>
+          to try to access the value of an uninitialized optional. An uninitialized
+          optional can be assigned a value, in which case its initialization state
+          changes to initialized. Furthermore, given the formal treatment of initialization
+          states in optional objects, it is even possible to reset an optional to
+          <span class="emphasis"><em>uninitialized</em></span>.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          In C++ there is no formal notion of uninitialized objects, which means
+          that objects always have an initial value even if indeterminate. As discussed
+          on the previous section, this has a drawback because you need additional
+          information to tell if an object has been effectively initialized. One
+          of the typical ways in which this has been historically dealt with is via
+          a special value: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">EOF</span></code>,
+          <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">npos</span></code>, -1, etc... This is
+          equivalent to adding the special value to the set of possible values of
+          a given type. This super set of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>
+          plus some <span class="emphasis"><em>nil_t</em></span>&#8212;where <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">nil_t</span></code>
+          is some stateless POD&#8212;can be modeled in modern languages as a <span class="bold"><strong>discriminated union</strong></span> of T and nil_t. Discriminated
+          unions are often called <span class="emphasis"><em>variants</em></span>. A variant has a
+          <span class="emphasis"><em>current type</em></span>, which in our case is either <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">nil_t</span></code>.
+          Using the <a href="../../../../variant/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Variant</a>
+          library, this model can be implemented in terms of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">variant</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">nil_t</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>. There is precedent for a discriminated
+          union as a model for an optional value: the <a href="http://www.haskell.org/" target="_top">Haskell</a>
+          <span class="bold"><strong>Maybe</strong></span> built-in type constructor. Thus,
+          a discriminated union <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">+</span><span class="identifier">nil_t</span></code>
+          serves as a conceptual foundation.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          A <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">variant</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">nil_t</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> follows naturally from the traditional
+          idiom of extending the range of possible values adding an additional sentinel
+          value with the special meaning of <span class="emphasis"><em>Nothing</em></span>. However,
+          this additional <span class="emphasis"><em>Nothing</em></span> value is largely irrelevant
+          for our purpose since our goal is to formalize the notion of uninitialized
+          objects and, while a special extended value can be used to convey that
+          meaning, it is not strictly necessary in order to do so.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          The observation made in the last paragraph about the irrelevant nature
+          of the additional <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">nil_t</span></code>
+          with respect to <span class="underline">purpose</span> of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+          suggests an alternative model: a <span class="emphasis"><em>container</em></span> that either
+          has a value of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> or nothing.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          As of this writing I don't know of any precedent for a variable-size fixed-capacity
+          (of 1) stack-based container model for optional values, yet I believe this
+          is the consequence of the lack of practical implementations of such a container
+          rather than an inherent shortcoming of the container model.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          In any event, both the discriminated-union or the single-element container
+          models serve as a conceptual ground for a class representing optional&#8212;i.e.
+          possibly uninitialized&#8212;objects. For instance, these models show the
+          <span class="emphasis"><em>exact</em></span> semantics required for a wrapper of optional
+          values:
+        </p>
+<p>

+          Objects of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> are intended to be used in places where

+          but which might be uninitialized. Hence, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>'s purpose is to formalize the additional
+          possibly uninitialized state. From the perspective of this role, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+          can have the same operational semantics of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>
+          plus the additional semantics corresponding to this special state. As such,

+          could be thought of as a <span class="emphasis"><em>supertype</em></span> of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>. Of course, we can't do that in C++,
+          so we need to compose the desired semantics using a different mechanism.
+          Doing it the other way around, that is, making <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> a <span class="emphasis"><em>subtype</em></span> of

+<p>
+          Since the purpose of optional is to allow us to use objects with a formal
+          uninitialized additional state, the interface could try to follow the interface
+          of the underlying <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> type
+          as much as possible. In order to choose the proper degree of adoption of
+          the native <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> interface,
+          the following must be noted: Even if all the operations supported by an
+          instance of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> are
+          defined for the entire range of values for such a type, an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+          extends such a set of values with a new value for which most (otherwise
+          valid) operations are not defined in terms of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          Furthermore, since <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> itself is merely a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>
+          wrapper (modeling a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> supertype),
+          any attempt to define such operations upon uninitialized optionals will
+          be totally artificial w.r.t. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          This library chooses an interface which follows from <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s
+          interface only for those operations which are well defined (w.r.t the type
+          <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>) even if any of the operands
+          are uninitialized. These operations include: construction, copy-construction,
+          assignment, swap and relational operations.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          For the value access operations, which are undefined (w.r.t the type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>) when the operand is uninitialized,
+          a different interface is chosen (which will be explained next).
+        </p>
+<p>
+          Also, the presence of the possibly uninitialized state requires additional
+          operations not provided by <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>
+          itself which are supported by a special interface.

+<p>
+          A relevant feature of a pointer is that it can have a <span class="bold"><strong>null
+          pointer value</strong></span>. This is a <span class="emphasis"><em>special</em></span> value
+          which is used to indicate that the pointer is not referring to any object
+          at all. In other words, null pointer values convey the notion of nonexistent
+          objects.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          This meaning of the null pointer value allowed pointers to became a <span class="emphasis"><em>de
+          facto</em></span> standard for handling optional objects because all you
+          have to do to refer to a value which you don't really have is to use a
+          null pointer value of the appropriate type. Pointers have been used for
+          decades&#8212;from the days of C APIs to modern C++ libraries&#8212;to <span class="emphasis"><em>refer</em></span>
+          to optional (that is, possibly nonexistent) objects; particularly as optional
+          arguments to a function, but also quite often as optional data members.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          The possible presence of a null pointer value makes the operations that
+          access the pointee's value possibly undefined, therefore, expressions which
+          use dereference and access operators, such as: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">(</span>
+          <span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">p</span>
+          <span class="special">=</span> <span class="number">2</span> <span class="special">)</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">(</span>
+          <span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">-&gt;</span><span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">()</span> <span class="special">)</span></code>, implicitly convey the notion of optionality,
+          and this information is tied to the <span class="emphasis"><em>syntax</em></span> of the
+          expressions. That is, the presence of operators <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">*</span></code>
+          and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">-&gt;</span></code> tell by themselves
+          &#8212;without any additional context&#8212; that the expression will be undefined
+          unless the implied pointee actually exist.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          Such a <span class="emphasis"><em>de facto</em></span> idiom for referring to optional objects
+          can be formalized in the form of a concept: the <a href="../../../../utility/OptionalPointee.html" target="_top">OptionalPointee</a>
+          concept. This concept captures the syntactic usage of operators <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">*</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">-&gt;</span></code>
+          and contextual conversion to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>
+          to convey the notion of optionality.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          However, pointers are good to <span class="underline">refer</span>
+          to optional objects, but not particularly good to handle the optional objects
+          in all other respects, such as initializing or moving/copying them. The
+          problem resides in the shallow-copy of pointer semantics: if you need to
+          effectively move or copy the object, pointers alone are not enough. The
+          problem is that copies of pointers do not imply copies of pointees. For
+          example, as was discussed in the motivation, pointers alone cannot be used
+          to return optional objects from a function because the object must move
+          outside from the function and into the caller's context.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          A solution to the shallow-copy problem that is often used is to resort
+          to dynamic allocation and use a smart pointer to automatically handle the
+          details of this. For example, if a function is to optionally return an
+          object <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">X</span></code>, it can use <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">shared_ptr</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">X</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+          as the return value. However, this requires dynamic allocation of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">X</span></code>. If <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">X</span></code>
+          is a built-in or small POD, this technique is very poor in terms of required
+          resources. Optional objects are essentially values so it is very convenient
+          to be able to use automatic storage and deep-copy semantics to manipulate
+          optional values just as we do with ordinary values. Pointers do not have
+          this semantics, so are inappropriate for the initialization and transport
+          of optional values, yet are quite convenient for handling the access to
+          the possible undefined value because of the idiomatic aid present in the
+          <a href="../../../../utility/OptionalPointee.html" target="_top">OptionalPointee</a>
+          concept incarnated by pointers.

+          For instance, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;&gt;</span></code> does not have shallow-copy so does

+          value unless <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> itself is
+          a reference (but may have <span class="emphasis"><em>equivalent</em></span> values). The
+          difference between an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> and a pointer must be kept in mind,
+          particularly because the semantics of relational operators are different:

+          is a value-wrapper, relational operators are deep: they compare optional
+          values; but relational operators for pointers are shallow: they do not
+          compare pointee values. As a result, you might be able to replace <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+          by <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">*</span></code>
+          on some situations but not always. Specifically, on generic code written
+          for both, you cannot use relational operators directly, and must use the
+          template functions <a href="../../../../utility/OptionalPointee.html#equal" target="_top"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">equal_pointees</span><span class="special">()</span></code></a>

+<p>
+        <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> should
+        be used with special caution and consideration.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        First, it is functionally similar to a tristate boolean (false, maybe, true)
+        &#8212;such as <a href="../../../../../../doc/html/tribool.html" target="_top">boost::tribool</a>&#8212;
+        except that in a tristate boolean, the maybe state <span class="underline">represents
+        a valid value</span>, unlike the corresponding state of an uninitialized
+        <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>.
+        It should be carefully considered if an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+        instead of a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">tribool</span></code> is really
+        needed.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Second, although <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;&gt;</span></code> provides a contextual conversion
+        to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code> in C++11, this falls
+        back to an implicit conversion on older compilers. This conversion refers
+        to the initialization state and not to the contained value. Using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> can
+        lead to subtle errors due to the implicit <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>
+        conversion:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">foo</span> <span class="special">(</span> <span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">v</span> <span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">;</span>
+<span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">bar</span><span class="special">()</span>
+<span class="special">{</span>
+    <span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">v</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="keyword">try</span><span class="special">();</span>
+
+    <span class="comment">// The following intended to pass the value of 'v' to foo():</span>
+    <span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">v</span><span class="special">);</span>
+    <span class="comment">// But instead, the initialization state is passed</span>
+    <span class="comment">// due to a typo: it should have been foo(*v).</span>
+<span class="special">}</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        The only implicit conversion is to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>,
+        and it is safe in the sense that typical integral promotions don't apply
+        (i.e. if <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">()</span></code>
+        takes an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code> instead, it won't
+        compile).
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Third, mixed comparisons with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>
+        work differently than similar mixed comparisons between pointers and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>, so the results might surprise you:

+<p>
+          In C++, we can <span class="emphasis"><em>declare</em></span> an object (a variable) of type
+          <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>, and we can give this
+          variable an <span class="emphasis"><em>initial value</em></span> (through an <span class="emphasis"><em>initializer</em></span>.
+          (cf. 8.5)). When a declaration includes a non-empty initializer (an initial
+          value is given), it is said that the object has been initialized. If the
+          declaration uses an empty initializer (no initial value is given), and
+          neither default nor value initialization applies, it is said that the object
+          is <span class="bold"><strong>uninitialized</strong></span>. Its actual value exist
+          but has an <span class="emphasis"><em>indeterminate initial value</em></span> (cf. 8.5/11).
+          <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+          intends to formalize the notion of initialization (or lack of it) allowing
+          a program to test whether an object has been initialized and stating that
+          access to the value of an uninitialized object is undefined behavior. That
+          is, when a variable is declared as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> and no initial value is given, the
+          variable is <span class="emphasis"><em>formally</em></span> uninitialized. A formally uninitialized
+          optional object has conceptually no value at all and this situation can
+          be tested at runtime. It is formally <span class="emphasis"><em>undefined behavior</em></span>
+          to try to access the value of an uninitialized optional. An uninitialized
+          optional can be assigned a value, in which case its initialization state
+          changes to initialized. Furthermore, given the formal treatment of initialization
+          states in optional objects, it is even possible to reset an optional to
+          <span class="emphasis"><em>uninitialized</em></span>.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          In C++ there is no formal notion of uninitialized objects, which means
+          that objects always have an initial value even if indeterminate. As discussed
+          on the previous section, this has a drawback because you need additional
+          information to tell if an object has been effectively initialized. One
+          of the typical ways in which this has been historically dealt with is via
+          a special value: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">EOF</span></code>,
+          <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">npos</span></code>, -1, etc... This is
+          equivalent to adding the special value to the set of possible values of
+          a given type. This super set of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>
+          plus some <span class="emphasis"><em>nil_t</em></span>&#8212;where <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">nil_t</span></code>
+          is some stateless POD&#8212;can be modeled in modern languages as a <span class="bold"><strong>discriminated union</strong></span> of T and nil_t. Discriminated
+          unions are often called <span class="emphasis"><em>variants</em></span>. A variant has a
+          <span class="emphasis"><em>current type</em></span>, which in our case is either <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">nil_t</span></code>.
+          Using the <a href="../../../../../variant/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Variant</a>
+          library, this model can be implemented in terms of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">variant</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">nil_t</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>. There is precedent for a discriminated
+          union as a model for an optional value: the <a href="http://www.haskell.org/" target="_top">Haskell</a>
+          <span class="bold"><strong>Maybe</strong></span> built-in type constructor. Thus,
+          a discriminated union <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">+</span><span class="identifier">nil_t</span></code>
+          serves as a conceptual foundation.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          A <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">variant</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">nil_t</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> follows naturally from the traditional
+          idiom of extending the range of possible values adding an additional sentinel
+          value with the special meaning of <span class="emphasis"><em>Nothing</em></span>. However,
+          this additional <span class="emphasis"><em>Nothing</em></span> value is largely irrelevant
+          for our purpose since our goal is to formalize the notion of uninitialized
+          objects and, while a special extended value can be used to convey that
+          meaning, it is not strictly necessary in order to do so.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          The observation made in the last paragraph about the irrelevant nature
+          of the additional <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">nil_t</span></code>
+          with respect to <span class="underline">purpose</span> of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+          suggests an alternative model: a <span class="emphasis"><em>container</em></span> that either
+          has a value of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> or nothing.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          As of this writing I don't know of any precedent for a variable-size fixed-capacity
+          (of 1) stack-based container model for optional values, yet I believe this
+          is the consequence of the lack of practical implementations of such a container
+          rather than an inherent shortcoming of the container model.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          In any event, both the discriminated-union or the single-element container
+          models serve as a conceptual ground for a class representing optional&#8212;i.e.
+          possibly uninitialized&#8212;objects. For instance, these models show the
+          <span class="emphasis"><em>exact</em></span> semantics required for a wrapper of optional
+          values:

+<p>
+          Since the purpose of optional is to allow us to use objects with a formal
+          uninitialized additional state, the interface could try to follow the interface
+          of the underlying <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> type
+          as much as possible. In order to choose the proper degree of adoption of
+          the native <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> interface,
+          the following must be noted: Even if all the operations supported by an
+          instance of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> are
+          defined for the entire range of values for such a type, an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+          extends such a set of values with a new value for which most (otherwise
+          valid) operations are not defined in terms of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          Furthermore, since <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> itself is merely a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>
+          wrapper (modeling a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> supertype),
+          any attempt to define such operations upon uninitialized optionals will
+          be totally artificial w.r.t. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          This library chooses an interface which follows from <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s
+          interface only for those operations which are well defined (w.r.t the type
+          <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>) even if any of the operands
+          are uninitialized. These operations include: construction, copy-construction,
+          assignment, swap and relational operations.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          For the value access operations, which are undefined (w.r.t the type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>) when the operand is uninitialized,
+          a different interface is chosen (which will be explained next).
+        </p>
+<p>
+          Also, the presence of the possibly uninitialized state requires additional
+          operations not provided by <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>
+          itself which are supported by a special interface.

+<p>
+          A relevant feature of a pointer is that it can have a <span class="bold"><strong>null
+          pointer value</strong></span>. This is a <span class="emphasis"><em>special</em></span> value
+          which is used to indicate that the pointer is not referring to any object
+          at all. In other words, null pointer values convey the notion of nonexistent
+          objects.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          This meaning of the null pointer value allowed pointers to became a <span class="emphasis"><em>de
+          facto</em></span> standard for handling optional objects because all you
+          have to do to refer to a value which you don't really have is to use a
+          null pointer value of the appropriate type. Pointers have been used for
+          decades&#8212;from the days of C APIs to modern C++ libraries&#8212;to <span class="emphasis"><em>refer</em></span>
+          to optional (that is, possibly nonexistent) objects; particularly as optional
+          arguments to a function, but also quite often as optional data members.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          The possible presence of a null pointer value makes the operations that
+          access the pointee's value possibly undefined, therefore, expressions which
+          use dereference and access operators, such as: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">(</span>
+          <span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">p</span>
+          <span class="special">=</span> <span class="number">2</span> <span class="special">)</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">(</span>
+          <span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">-&gt;</span><span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">()</span> <span class="special">)</span></code>, implicitly convey the notion of optionality,
+          and this information is tied to the <span class="emphasis"><em>syntax</em></span> of the
+          expressions. That is, the presence of operators <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">*</span></code>
+          and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">-&gt;</span></code> tell by themselves
+          &#8212;without any additional context&#8212; that the expression will be undefined
+          unless the implied pointee actually exist.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          Such a <span class="emphasis"><em>de facto</em></span> idiom for referring to optional objects
+          can be formalized in the form of a concept: the <a href="../../../../../../utility/OptionalPointee.html" target="_top"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">OptionalPointee</span></code></a> concept. This
+          concept captures the syntactic usage of operators <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">*</span></code>,
+          <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">-&gt;</span></code> and contextual conversion
+          to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code> to convey the notion
+          of optionality.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          However, pointers are good to <span class="underline">refer</span>
+          to optional objects, but not particularly good to handle the optional objects
+          in all other respects, such as initializing or moving/copying them. The
+          problem resides in the shallow-copy of pointer semantics: if you need to
+          effectively move or copy the object, pointers alone are not enough. The
+          problem is that copies of pointers do not imply copies of pointees. For
+          example, as was discussed in the motivation, pointers alone cannot be used
+          to return optional objects from a function because the object must move
+          outside from the function and into the caller's context.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          A solution to the shallow-copy problem that is often used is to resort
+          to dynamic allocation and use a smart pointer to automatically handle the
+          details of this. For example, if a function is to optionally return an
+          object <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">X</span></code>, it can use <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">shared_ptr</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">X</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+          as the return value. However, this requires dynamic allocation of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">X</span></code>. If <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">X</span></code>
+          is a built-in or small POD, this technique is very poor in terms of required
+          resources. Optional objects are essentially values so it is very convenient
+          to be able to use automatic storage and deep-copy semantics to manipulate
+          optional values just as we do with ordinary values. Pointers do not have
+          this semantics, so are inappropriate for the initialization and transport
+          of optional values, yet are quite convenient for handling the access to
+          the possible undefined value because of the idiomatic aid present in the
+          <a href="../../../../../../utility/OptionalPointee.html" target="_top"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">OptionalPointee</span></code></a>
+          concept incarnated by pointers.

+          For instance, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;&gt;</span></code> does not have shallow-copy so does

+          value unless <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> itself is
+          a reference (but may have <span class="emphasis"><em>equivalent</em></span> values). The
+          difference between an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> and a pointer must be kept in mind,
+          particularly because the semantics of relational operators are different:
+          since <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+          is a value-wrapper, relational operators are deep: they compare optional
+          values; but relational operators for pointers are shallow: they do not
+          compare pointee values. As a result, you might be able to replace <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+          by <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">*</span></code>
+          on some situations but not always. Specifically, on generic code written
+          for both, you cannot use relational operators directly, and must use the
+          template functions <a href="../../../../../../utility/OptionalPointee.html#equal" target="_top"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">equal_pointees</span><span class="special">()</span></code></a>
+          and <a href="../../../../../../utility/OptionalPointee.html#less" target="_top"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">less_pointees</span><span class="special">()</span></code></a>

+          Objects of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> are intended to be used in places where

+          but which might be uninitialized. Hence, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>'s purpose is to formalize the additional
+          possibly uninitialized state. From the perspective of this role, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+          can have the same operational semantics of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>

+        This also applies to move assignments/constructors. However, move operations
+        are made no-throw more often.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Operation <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">emplace</span></code> provides
+        basic exception safety guarantee. If it throws, the optional object becomes
+        uninitialized regardless of its initial state, and its previous contained
+        value (if any) is destroyed. It doesn't call any assignment or move/copy
+        constructor on <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>.

+      </h5>
+<p>
+        Unless <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">swap</span></code> on optional is

+        <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">swap</span></code> or move constructor
+        (depending on the initialization state of the optional objects). Thus, if
+        both <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">swap</span></code>
+        and move constructor never throw, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">swap</span></code>

+      </p>
+<p>
+        In case <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">swap</span></code> on optional
+        is customized, the call to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s
+        move constructor are replaced with the calls to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s
+        default constructor followed by <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">swap</span></code>.
+        (This is more useful on older compilers that do not support move semantics,
+        when one wants to acheive stronger exception safety guarantees.) In this
+        case the exception safety guarantees for <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">swap</span></code>
+        are reliant on the guarantees of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s

+          should be used with special caution and consideration.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          First, it is functionally similar to a tristate boolean (false, maybe,
+          true) &#8212;such as <a href="../../../../../../doc/html/tribool.html" target="_top">boost::tribool</a>&#8212;
+          except that in a tristate boolean, the maybe state <span class="underline">represents
+          a valid value</span>, unlike the corresponding state of an uninitialized
+          <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>.
+          It should be carefully considered if an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> instead of a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">tribool</span></code>
+          is really needed.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          Second, although <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;&gt;</span></code> provides a contextual conversion
+          to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code> in C++11, this falls
+          back to an implicit conversion on older compilers. This conversion refers
+          to the initialization state and not to the contained value. Using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+          can lead to subtle errors due to the implicit <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>
+          conversion:
+        </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">foo</span> <span class="special">(</span> <span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">v</span> <span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">;</span>
+<span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">bar</span><span class="special">()</span>
+<span class="special">{</span>
+    <span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">v</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="keyword">try</span><span class="special">();</span>
+
+    <span class="comment">// The following intended to pass the value of 'v' to foo():</span>
+    <span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">v</span><span class="special">);</span>
+    <span class="comment">// But instead, the initialization state is passed</span>
+    <span class="comment">// due to a typo: it should have been foo(*v).</span>
+<span class="special">}</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+          The only implicit conversion is to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>,
+          and it is safe in the sense that typical integral promotions don't apply
+          (i.e. if <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">()</span></code>
+          takes an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code> instead, it won't
+          compile).
+        </p>
+<p>
+          Third, mixed comparisons with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>

+          When an optional object that contains a value is moved from (is a source

+<p>
+        One of the typical problems with wrappers and containers is that their interfaces
+        usually provide an operation to initialize or assign the contained object
+        as a copy of some other object. This not only requires the underlying type
+        to be <a href="../../../../../utility/CopyConstructible.html" target="_top"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">CopyConstructible</span></code></a>, but also requires
+        the existence of a fully constructed object, often temporary, just to follow
+        the copy from:
+      </p>

+<p>
+        A solution to this problem is to support direct construction of the contained
+        object right in the container's storage. In this scheme, the user only needs
+        to supply the arguments to the constructor to use in the wrapped object construction.

+<p>
+        A limitation of this method is that it doesn't scale well to wrapped objects
+        with multiple constructors nor to generic code were the constructor overloads
+        are unknown.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        The solution presented in this library is the family of <span class="bold"><strong>InPlaceFactories</strong></span>
+        and <span class="bold"><strong>TypedInPlaceFactories</strong></span>. These factories
+        are a family of classes which encapsulate an increasing number of arbitrary
+        constructor parameters and supply a method to construct an object of a given
+        type using those parameters at an address specified by the user via placement
+        new.

+        Consider these functions which should return a value but which might not
+        have a value to return:
+      </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
+<li class="listitem">
+            (A) <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">sqrt</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">n</span> <span class="special">);</span></code>
+          </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+            (B) <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">char</span> <span class="identifier">get_async_input</span><span class="special">();</span></code>
+          </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+            (C) <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">point</span> <span class="identifier">polygon</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">get_any_point_effectively_inside</span><span class="special">();</span></code>
+          </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+        There are different approaches to the issue of not having a value to return.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        A typical approach is to consider the existence of a valid return value as
+        a postcondition, so that if the function cannot compute the value to return,
+        it has either undefined behavior (and can use assert in a debug build) or
+        uses a runtime check and throws an exception if the postcondition is violated.
+        This is a reasonable choice for example, for function (A), because the lack
+        of a proper return value is directly related to an invalid parameter (out
+        of domain argument), so it is appropriate to require the callee to supply
+        only parameters in a valid domain for execution to continue normally.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        However, function (B), because of its asynchronous nature, does not fail
+        just because it can't find a value to return; so it is incorrect to consider
+        such a situation an error and assert or throw an exception. This function
+        must return, and somehow, must tell the callee that it is not returning a
+        meaningful value.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        A similar situation occurs with function (C): it is conceptually an error
+        to ask a <span class="emphasis"><em>null-area</em></span> polygon to return a point inside
+        itself, but in many applications, it is just impractical for performance
+        reasons to treat this as an error (because detecting that the polygon has
+        no area might be too expensive to be required to be tested previously), and
+        either an arbitrary point (typically at infinity) is returned, or some efficient
+        way to tell the callee that there is no such point is used.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        There are various mechanisms to let functions communicate that the returned
+        value is not valid. One such mechanism, which is quite common since it has
+        zero or negligible overhead, is to use a special value which is reserved
+        to communicate this. Classical examples of such special values are <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">EOF</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">npos</span></code>,
+        points at infinity, etc...
+      </p>
+<p>
+        When those values exist, i.e. the return type can hold all meaningful values
+        <span class="emphasis"><em>plus</em></span> the <span class="emphasis"><em>signal</em></span> value, this mechanism
+        is quite appropriate and well known. Unfortunately, there are cases when
+        such values do not exist. In these cases, the usual alternative is either
+        to use a wider type, such as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code>
+        in place of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">char</span></code>; or a compound
+        type, such as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">point</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Returning a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>, thus attaching a boolean flag to the
+        result which indicates if the result is meaningful, has the advantage that
+        can be turned into a consistent idiom since the first element of the pair
+        can be whatever the function would conceptually return. For example, the
+        last two functions could have the following interface:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">char</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">get_async_input</span><span class="special">();</span>
+<span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">point</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">polygon</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">get_any_point_effectively_inside</span><span class="special">();</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        These functions use a consistent interface for dealing with possibly nonexistent
+        results:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">point</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="keyword">bool</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">p</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">poly</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">get_any_point_effectively_inside</span><span class="special">();</span>
+<span class="keyword">if</span> <span class="special">(</span> <span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">second</span> <span class="special">)</span>
+    <span class="identifier">flood_fill</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">first</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        However, not only is this quite a burden syntactically, it is also error
+        prone since the user can easily use the function result (first element of
+        the pair) without ever checking if it has a valid value.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Clearly, we need a better idiom.

+          Rebinding semantics for the assignment of <span class="emphasis"><em>initialized </em></span>
+          <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span></code> references has
+          been chosen to provide <span class="bold"><strong>consistency among initialization
+          states</strong></span> even at the expense of lack of consistency with the semantics
+          of bare C++ references. It is true that <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">U</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> strives to behave as much as possible
+          as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">U</span></code> does whenever it is
+          initialized; but in the case when <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">U</span></code>
+          is <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&amp;</span></code>,
+          doing so would result in inconsistent behavior w.r.t to the lvalue initialization
+          state.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          Imagine <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&amp;&gt;</span></code>
+          forwarding assignment to the referenced object (thus changing the referenced
+          object value but not rebinding), and consider the following code:
+        </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&amp;&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">a</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">get</span><span class="special">();</span>

+</pre>
+<p>
+          What does the assignment do?
+        </p>
+<p>
+          If <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span></code> is <span class="emphasis"><em>uninitialized</em></span>,
+          the answer is clear: it binds to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">x</span></code>
+          (we now have another reference to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">x</span></code>).
+          But what if <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span></code> is already
+          <span class="emphasis"><em>initialized</em></span>? it would change the value of the referenced
+          object (whatever that is); which is inconsistent with the other possible
+          case.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          If <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&amp;&gt;</span></code>
+          would assign just like <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&amp;</span></code> does, you would never be able to use
+          Optional's assignment without explicitly handling the previous initialization
+          state unless your code is capable of functioning whether after the assignment,
+          <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span></code> aliases the same object
+          as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">b</span></code> or not.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          That is, you would have to discriminate in order to be consistent.
+        </p>
+<p>
+          If in your code rebinding to another object is not an option, then it is
+          very likely that binding for the first time isn't either. In such case,
+          assignment to an <span class="emphasis"><em>uninitialized </em></span> <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&amp;&gt;</span></code> shall be prohibited. It is quite
+          possible that in such a scenario it is a precondition that the lvalue must
+          be already initialized. If it isn't, then binding for the first time is
+          OK while rebinding is not which is IMO very unlikely. In such a scenario,
+          you can assign the value itself directly, as in:

+<p>
+        For the purpose of the following analysis, considering memory layouts, we

+<p>
+        Given type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>, and
+        assuming that <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">sizeof</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">==</span>
+        <span class="number">4</span></code>, we will get <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">sizeof</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&gt;)</span>
+        <span class="special">==</span> <span class="number">8</span></code>.
+        This is so because of the alignment rules, for our two members we get the

+        for your application (e.g., because you want to utilize your CPU cache in
+        order to gain performance) and you have determined you are willing to trade
+        the code clarity, it is recommended that you simply go with type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code> and use some 'magic value' to represent
+        <span class="emphasis"><em>not-an-int</em></span>, or use something like <a href="https://github.com/akrzemi1/markable" target="_top"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">markable</span></code></a> library.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Even if you cannot spare any value of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code>
+        to represent <span class="emphasis"><em>not-an-int</em></span> (e.g., because every value is

+        at least for <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Trivial</span></code> types
+        you should consider storing the value and the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">bool</span></code>

+<p>
+        <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../images/opt_align2.png" alt="opt_align2"></span>
+      </p>
+<p>
+        This is exactly the same as if we had the following members:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">struct</span> <span class="identifier">Record</span>
+<span class="special">{</span>

+<span class="special">};</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        But when they are stored separately, we at least have an option to reorder
+        them like this:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">struct</span> <span class="identifier">Record</span>
+<span class="special">{</span>

+<span class="special">};</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        Which gives us the following layout (and smaller total size):
+      </p>
+<p>
+        <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../images/opt_align3.png" alt="opt_align3"></span>
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Sometimes it requires detailed consideration what data we make optional.
+        In our case above, if we determine that both minimum and maximum value can
+        be provided or not provided together, but one is never provided without the
+        other, we can make only one optional memebr:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">struct</span> <span class="identifier">Limits</span>

+<p>
+        Rebinding semantics for the assignment of <span class="emphasis"><em>initialized </em></span>
+        <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span></code> references has been
+        chosen to provide <span class="bold"><strong>consistency among initialization
+        states</strong></span> even at the expense of lack of consistency with the semantics
+        of bare C++ references. It is true that <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">U</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+        strives to behave as much as possible as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">U</span></code>
+        does whenever it is initialized; but in the case when <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">U</span></code>
+        is <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&amp;</span></code>,
+        doing so would result in inconsistent behavior w.r.t to the lvalue initialization
+        state.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Imagine <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&amp;&gt;</span></code>
+        forwarding assignment to the referenced object (thus changing the referenced
+        object value but not rebinding), and consider the following code:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&amp;&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">a</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">get</span><span class="special">();</span>

+</pre>
+<p>
+        What does the assignment do?
+      </p>
+<p>
+        If <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span></code> is <span class="emphasis"><em>uninitialized</em></span>,
+        the answer is clear: it binds to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">x</span></code>
+        (we now have another reference to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">x</span></code>).
+        But what if <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span></code> is already
+        <span class="emphasis"><em>initialized</em></span>? it would change the value of the referenced
+        object (whatever that is); which is inconsistent with the other possible
+        case.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        If <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&amp;&gt;</span></code>
+        would assign just like <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&amp;</span></code> does, you would never be able to use
+        Optional's assignment without explicitly handling the previous initialization
+        state unless your code is capable of functioning whether after the assignment,
+        <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span></code> aliases the same object
+        as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">b</span></code> or not.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        That is, you would have to discriminate in order to be consistent.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        If in your code rebinding to another object is not an option, then it is
+        very likely that binding for the first time isn't either. In such case, assignment
+        to an <span class="emphasis"><em>uninitialized </em></span> <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&amp;&gt;</span></code>
+        shall be prohibited. It is quite possible that in such a scenario it is a
+        precondition that the lvalue must be already initialized. If it isn't, then
+        binding for the first time is OK while rebinding is not which is IMO very
+        unlikely. In such a scenario, you can assign the value itself directly, as

+        ...}. This order does not have a practical interpretation. The goal is to
+        have any semantically correct default ordering in order for <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> to
+        be usable in ordered associative containers (wherever <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>
+        is usable).
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Mixed relational operators are the only case where the contained value of

+<p>
+        It is recommended to use <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+        in situations where there is exactly one, clear (to all parties) reason for
+        having no value of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>,
+        and where the lack of value is as natural as having any regular value of
+        <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>. One example of such situation
+        is asking the user in some GUI form to optionally specify some limit on an
+        <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code> value, but the user is allowed
+        to say 'I want the number not to be constrained by the maximum'. For another
+        example, consider a config parameter specifying how many threads the application
+        should launch. Leaving this parameter unspecified means that the application
+        should decide itself. For yet another example, consider a function returning
+        the index of the smallest element in a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">vector</span></code>.
+        We need to be prepared for the situation, where the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">vector</span></code>
+        is empty. Therefore a natural signature for such function would be:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">template</span> <span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">typename</span> <span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span>
+<span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">size_t</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">find_smallest_elem</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">vector</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;&amp;</span> <span class="identifier">vec</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        Here, having received an empty <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">vec</span></code>
+        and having no <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">size_t</span></code> to return
+        is not a <span class="emphasis"><em>failure</em></span> but a <span class="emphasis"><em>normal</em></span>,
+        albeit irregular, situation.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Another typical situation is to indicate that we do not have a value yet,
+        but we expect to have it later. This notion can be used in implementing solutions
+        like lazy initialization or a two-phase initialization.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span></code> can be used to take
+        a non-<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/DefaultConstructible.html" target="_top"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">DefaultConstructible</span></code></a> type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> and create a sibling type with a default
+        constructor. This is a way to add a <span class="emphasis"><em>null-state</em></span> to any
+        type that doesn't have it already.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Sometimes type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> already
+        provides a built-in null-state, but it may still be useful to wrap it into
+        <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span></code>. Consider <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span></code>.
+        When you read a piece of text from a GUI form or a DB table, it is hardly
+        ever that the empty string indicates anything else but a missing text. And
+        some data bases do not even distinguish between a null string entry and a
+        non-null string of length 0. Still, it may be practical to use <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+        to indicate in the returned type that we want to treat the empty string in
+        a special dedicated program path:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">if</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">name</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">ask_user_name</span><span class="special">())</span> <span class="special">{</span>
+    <span class="identifier">assert</span><span class="special">(*</span><span class="identifier">name</span> <span class="special">!=</span> <span class="string">""</span><span class="special">);</span>
+    <span class="identifier">logon_as</span><span class="special">(*</span><span class="identifier">name</span><span class="special">);</span>
+<span class="special">}</span>
+<span class="keyword">else</span> <span class="special">{</span>
+    <span class="identifier">skip_logon</span><span class="special">();</span>
+<span class="special">}</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+        In the example above, the assertion indicates that if we choose to use this
+        technique, we must translate the empty string state to an optional object
+        with no contained value (inside function <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">ask_user_name</span></code>).
+      </p>
+<h5>
+<a name="boost_optional.tutorial.when_to_use_optional.h0"></a>
+        <span class="phrase"><a name="boost_optional.tutorial.when_to_use_optional.not_recommended_usages"></a></span><a class="link" href="when_to_use_optional.html#boost_optional.tutorial.when_to_use_optional.not_recommended_usages">Not
+        recommended usages</a>
+      </h5>
+<p>
+        It is not recommended to use <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span></code>
+        to indicate that we were not able to compute a value because of a <span class="emphasis"><em>failure</em></span>.
+        It is difficult to define what a failure is, but it usually has one common
+        characteristic: an associated information on the cause of the failure. This
+        can be the type and member data of an exception object, or an error code.
+        It is a bad design to signal a failure and not inform about the cause. If
+        you do not want to use exceptions, and do not like the fact that by returning
+        error codes you cannot return the computed value, you can use <a href="https://github.com/ptal/Boost.Expected" target="_top">Expected</a>
+        library. It is sort of <a href="../../../../../variant/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Variant</a>
+        that contains either a computed value or a reason why the computation failed.
+      </p>
+<p>
+        Sometimes the distinction into what is a failure and what is a valid but
+        irregular result is blurry and depends on a particular usage and personal
+        preference. Consider a function that converts a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">string</span></code>
+        to an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code>. Is it a failure that
+        you cannot convert? It might in some cases, but in other you may call it
+        exactly for the purpose of figuring out if a given <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">string</span></code>
+        is convertible, and you are not even interested in the resulting value. Sometimes
+        when a conversion fails you may not consider it a failure, but you need to
+        know why it cannot be converted; for instance at which character it is determined
+        that the conversion is impossible. In this case returning <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>
+        will not suffice. Finally, there is a use case where an input string that
+        does not represent an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code> is
+        not a failure condition, but during the conversion we use resources whose
+        acquisition may fail. In that case the natural representation is to both
+        return <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> and
+        signal failure:
+      </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">convert1</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">&amp;</span> <span class="identifier">str</span><span class="special">);</span> <span class="comment">// throws</span>
