Hi,
After some feedback from the community [0], I'm happy to finally
get the optional package to a 1.0.0 version. There is one
breaking change with how pointer semantics behave, in that the
previous version treated some!(int*)(null) as a non-empty
optional, and some!Class(null) as an empty optional. These are
both now treated as empty optionals.
Compilation changes include:
* orElse has been split in to "or" and "frontOr"
* dispatch() has been renamed to oc(); "optional chain"
* NotNull has been removed
* unwrap has been removed
Additions include:
* frontOrThrow: if there's no front of range then it will throw.
* or/frontOr work with any range, and Nullable!T.
* match will resolve to void if any of the handlers return void.
Added a whole bunch of "safety" checks, so CI runs with dip1000
and dip25 enabled, and uses LLVM's address sanitizer. I still
don't know how to deal with auto ref return values [1] so if
anyone has any tips...
I'll remove the beta status after a few weeks if there're no
issues.
Cheers,
- ali
