BloombergLP::bdlb::NullableValue

Synopsis

Declared in <bdlb_nullablevalue.h>

template<class TYPE>
class NullableValue
    : public bsl::optional<TYPE>

Description

This template class extends the set of values of its value-semantic TYPE parameter to include the notion of a "null" value. If TYPE is fully value-semantic, then the augmented type NullableValue<TYPE> will be as well. In addition to supporting all homogeneous value-semantic operations, conversions between comparable underlying value types is also supported. Two nullable objects with different underlying types compare equal if their underlying types are comparable and either (1) both objects are null or (2) the non-null values compare equal. A null nullable object is considered ordered before any non-null nullable object. Attempts to copy construct, copy assign, or compare incompatible values types will fail to compile. The NullableValue template cannot be instantiated on an incomplete type, a type that overloads unary operator&, or bsl::nullopt_t.
