It * serves two roles. It can represent values which are *semantically* optional, * augmenting a type with an explicit 'Nothing' value. In this role, it provides * methods that make it easy to work with values that may be missing, along with * equality and comparison operators so that Maybe values can be stored in * containers. Maybe values can be constructed conveniently in expressions using * type inference, as follows: * * void doSomething(Maybe aFoo) { * if (aFoo) // Make sure that aFoo contains a value... * aFoo->takeAction(); // and then use |aFoo->| to access it. * } // |*aFoo| also works! * * doSomething(Nothing()); // Passes a Maybe containing no value. * doSomething(Some(Foo(100))); // Passes a Maybe containing |Foo(100)|. * * You'll note that it's important to check whether a Maybe contains a value * before using it, using conversion to bool, |isSome()|, or |isNothing()|. You * can avoid these checks, and sometimes write more readable code, using * |valueOr()|, |ptrOr()|, and |refOr()|, which allow you to retrieve the value * in the Maybe and provide a default for the 'Nothing' case. You can also use * |apply()| to call a function only if the Maybe holds a value, and |map()| to * transform the value in the Maybe, returning another Maybe with a possibly * different type. * * Maybe's other role is to support lazily constructing objects without using * dynamic storage. A Maybe directly contains storage for a value, but it's * empty by default. |emplace()|, as mentioned above, can be used to construct a * value in Maybe's storage. The value a Maybe contains can be destroyed by * calling |reset()|; this will happen automatically if a Maybe is destroyed * while holding a value. * * It's a common idiom in C++ to use a pointer as a 'Maybe' type, with a null * value meaning 'Nothing' and any other value meaning 'Some'. You can convert * from such a pointer to a Maybe value using 'ToMaybe()'. * * Maybe is inspired by similar types in the standard library of many other * languages (e.g. Haskell's Maybe and Rust's Option). In the C++ world it's * very similar to std::optional, which was proposed for C++14 and originated in * Boost. The most important differences between Maybe and std::optional are: * * - std::optional may be compared with T. We deliberately forbid that. * - std::optional allows in-place construction without a separate call to * |emplace()| by using a dummy |in_place_t| value to tag the appropriate * constructor. * - std::optional has |valueOr()|, equivalent to Maybe's |valueOr()|, but * lacks corresponding methods for |refOr()| and |ptrOr()|. * - std::optional lacks |map()| and |apply()|, making it less suitable for * functional-style code. * - std::optional lacks many convenience functions that Maybe has. Most * unfortunately, it lacks equivalents of the type-inferred constructor * functions |Some()| and |Nothing()|. * * N.B. GCC has missed optimizations with Maybe in the past and may generate * extra branches/loads/stores. Use with caution on hot paths; it's not known * whether or not this is still a problem. */ template class MOZ_NON_PARAM MOZ_INHERIT_TYPE_ANNOTATIONS_FROM_TEMPLATE_ARGS Maybe { MOZ_ALIGNAS_IN_STRUCT(T) unsigned char mStorage[sizeof(T)]; char mIsSome; // not bool -- guarantees minimal space consumption // GCC fails due to -Werror=strict-aliasing if |mStorage| is directly cast to // T*.
