Enhance in_place construction #66

Closed fekir closed 3 years ago

fekir commented 3 years ago

The current implementation required ad least a move-constructor for in-place construction. This made it impossible to directly, create an optional of a type without copy and move operators.

A workaround is using the variadic emplace function, but it requires to construct the object in two steps.

std::optional does not require any copy or move operation for in-place construction

Thanks for your contribution.

I'll tend to CASE( "make_optional: Allows to in-place copy-construct optional from arguments (C++11)" ) that appears similar to the test you did update.

Think all is taken care of now and the PR can be closed now.
