# Semiregular wrapper (C++20)

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | ranges

template<class T> requires std:: CopyConstructible <T> && std::is_object_v <T> class /*semiregular*/; |  | (since C++20)

`ranges::single_view`, `ranges::filter_view` and `ranges::transform_view` are specified in terms of an exposition-only class template `semiregular`. The name `semiregular` is for exposition purposes only and not normative.

`semiregular<T>` behaves exactly like `std::optional<T>` with a little differences, which makes it model `Semiregular`.

### Template parameters

T | - | the type of the value to manage initialization state for. The type must be a object type and model `CopyConstructible`

### Member functions

Following member functions are conditionally different from corresponding member functions of std::optional.

## semiregular::semiregular

constexpr semiregular() noexcept( std::is_nothrow_default_constructible_v <T>); |  |

If `T` models `DefaultConstructible`, the default constructor of `semiregular<T>` constructs a semiregular wrapper containing a value-initialized `T` and is equivalent to:

    constexpr semiregular() noexcept(std::is_nothrow_default_constructible_v<T>)
      : semiregular{std::in_place}
    { }

Otherwise, the default constructor is equivalent to the default constructor of `std::optional` and constructs a semiregular wrapper which does not contain a value.

## semiregular::operator=

semiregular& operator=(const semiregular& other) noexcept( std::is_nothrow_copy_constructible_v <T>) | (1) |
semiregular& operator=(semiregular&& other) noexcept( std::is_nothrow_move_constructible_v <T>) | (2) |

1) If Assignable <T&, const T&> is not satisfied, the copy assignment operator's body is equivalent to if (other) emplace(*other); else reset(); return *this;.
Otherwise, the copy assignment operator is identical to the copy assignment operator of `std::optional`.
2) If Assignable <T&, T> is not satisfied, the move assignment operator's body is equivalent to if (other) emplace(std::move(*other)); else reset(); return *this;.
Otherwise, the move assignment operator is identical to the move assignment operator of `std::optional`.

## Members identical to std::optional

### Member functions

(constructor) | constructs the optional object (public member function of `std::optional<T>`)
(destructor) | destroys the contained value, if there is one (public member function of `std::optional<T>`)
operator= | assigns contents (public member function of `std::optional<T>`)

##### Observers

operator->operator* | accesses the contained value (public member function of `std::optional<T>`)
operator boolhas_value | checks whether the object contains a value (public member function of `std::optional<T>`)

##### Modifiers

reset | destroys any contained value (public member function of `std::optional<T>`)
emplace | constructs the contained value in-place (public member function of `std::optional<T>`)
