Is it? I'd always rather thought it targeted at functions that may not necessarily return a value at all.
Yes, see http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/optional/doc/html/boost_optional/d...
What's the best way to get this wrapper into Boost?
In detail I don't know. I'm pretty sure you need SVN write access at some point, unless someone applies a patch for you. If it's more than a patch I guess review of your code is required too.
Could it be added to the Utility library? If not, to what library could it be added? Olaf
