I don't see why. reset() has nothing to do with containership; it's a generic shorthand for reconstructing an object in place. void X::reset(args) Effects: destroys the contents of *this (if any) Postconditions: *this is equivalent to X(args) > Currently, you can change the value of the optional directly without any > performance > penalty like this: *opt = new_val, so I don't see any real need for reset(). Not correct, *opt has undefined behavior when opt is uninitialized. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
