NAME¶

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

Synopsis¶

~optional(); (since C++17)
(constexpr since C++20)

If the object contains a value and the type T is not trivially destructible (see
std::is_trivially_destructible), destroys the contained value by calling its
destructor, as if by value().T::~T().

Otherwise, does nothing.

Notes¶

If T is trivially-destructible, then this destructor is also trivial, so
std::optional<T> is also trivially-destructible.
