Re: [boost] [optional] Making optional more debugger friendly

Jeffrey Faust a écrit :

My only complaint about boost::optional is that it is very difficult to see values in the debugger.

variant probably has the same problem. I don't see why you would need to look at its content in the debugger anyway, it's a pretty safe tool.

Well, I have a patch. The change introduces a new private T* m_value and protected method update_debug() which sets this variable.

I think you should just provide an alternative implementation that uses heap allocation instead of stack allocation.
