#6364 closed Bugs (fixed)

boost::optional has bad documentation

Reported by: Ben Longbons <b.r.longbons@…> Owned by: Fernando Cacciola
Milestone: To Be Determined Component: optional
Version: Boost 1.48.0 Severity: Problem

Description

boost::optional's documentation says that operator unspecified_bool_type is equivalent to (get() != 0), when in fact it is equivalent to (get_ptr() != 0)

Also, since is_initialized() is deprecated, it should indicated to use operator unspecified_bool_type() instead.

The reset methods are also deprecated, but the examples in the documentation use them.

(In [82911]) Correct definition of operator unspecified-bool-type. Make reference for is_initialized point to this operator. Fixes #6364.
