std::experi...::~optional(3)

💖 std::experimental::optional::~optional 💖

bestie, this page is from the C++ Standard Libary manual — yes, that spelling is in the original, leave her alone 😭 — and it's the destructor page for std::experimental::optional. it's giving cleanup era, closure, and dramatic exits. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

std::experimental::optional::~optional -
std::experimental::optional::~optional

✨ Synopsis ✨

~optional();  (library fundamentals TS)

okay so here's the vibe: if the object contains a value and the type T is not trivially destructible (peep std::is_trivially_destructible), it destroys the contained value by calling its destructor, as if by val->T::~T(). otherwise? it does nothing. literally nothing. a little nap. 😴

🎀 Notes 🎀

if T is trivially-destructible, then this destructor is also trivial, so optional<T> is also trivially-destructible. slay for compile-time efficiency, bestie. ✨
