Hi People,

I'm pleased to announce that thanks to the outstanding effort of Andrzej Krzemienski who wrote the standard papers, and Ville Voutilainen who champion it during the meetings, we now have std::optional<T> in C++14!

Cheers

Congratulations! Happy to hear it!

BTW, what will happen with Boost.Optional in nearest future: rvalues and constexpr fetures support will be added? Will it (and C++14 version) be optimized for bool, short and other small types?

Yes. I postponed all changes to Boost.Optional until the standardization finished in order to make it as close as possible to the std version (there are a number of relevant API elements that are better in sync) Now that I know what's been accepted, I can and will work on it.
