STD::_MAYBE_GET_RESULT_TYPE(3)

πŸ“¦ version 4.4.0, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… std::_Maybe_get_result_type β€” from the libstdc++ Library Functions Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of a very niche little corner of libstdc++. this is the manual page for std::_Maybe_get_result_type, and yes it's a whole vibe. πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

std::_Maybe_get_result_type β€” literally the guy that says "if we have found a result_type, extract it." that's the whole job. no cap. πŸ’–


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

so first things first: this page is under a Detailed Description, and the actual type is a template struct, bestie. here's the exact shape of it πŸ¦‹

template<bool _Has_result_type, typename _Functor> struct
    std::_Maybe_get_result_type< _Has_result_type, _Functor >

that's the one. template<bool _Has_result_type, typename _Functor>, a struct named std::_Maybe_get_result_type, specialized on < _Has_result_type, _Functor >. iconic honestly. πŸ‘‘


🌈 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what does it do? the manpage says it plain and simple:

If we have found a result_type, extract it.

that's it. that's the lore. you found a result_type? slay, then extract it. you didn't? then this isn't the one for you, and that's okay. πŸ’œ

and where does it live? Definition at line 70 of file tr1_impl/functional. line 70, file tr1_impl/functional, that's the address, don't forget it. 🎯


🌟 AUTHOR 🌟

ngl the author line is kind of a jumpscare in the cutest way β€” it's:

Generated automatically by Doxygen for libstdc++ from the source code.

so yeah, no human signed their name on this one, Doxygen did all the heavy lifting. main character energy from a doc generator, honestly obsessed. πŸ€–βœ¨


🫢 quick reminder: this one is auto-generated documentation for a library-internal template, so treat it like the manpage tells you and don't go reading extra behaviour into it. the facts above are the facts! πŸ’…

hope this made the template make sense, bestie β€” go forth and extract those result types πŸ’–

πŸ“ stay slay, and remember: <rainbow>libstdc++, 21 Apr 2009</rainbow> β€” that's the source/version and date right there, mwah πŸ’‹πŸŒΈ
