std::experi...::operator*,(3)

💅 std::experi...::operator*,(3) — C++ Standard Libary bestie edition

Okay so bestie, this is the C++ Standard Libary manual page for std::experi...::operator*,(3). It’s giving niche observer_ptr energy, and yes the title is abbreviated exactly like that. Let’s get into it. ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

Verbatim from the NAME block, duplicate and dash included:

std::experimental::observer_ptr::operator*, -
std::experimental::observer_ptr::operator*,

That’s the NAME section. We move. 💅

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

The signatures, exactly:

          constexpr std::add_lvalue_reference_t<element_type>        (1)
       (library fundamentals
          operator*() const;                                             TS v2)
          constexpr element_type* operator->() const noexcept;       (2)
       (library fundamentals
                                                                         TS v2)

operator* and operator-> provide access to the object watched by *this.

⚠️ Heavy warning, bestie: the behavior of operator* is undefined if get() == nullptr. Like, actual undefined behavior. Do not play with that. 😭💀
