Detailed Description

template<class T>
class llvm::ErrorOr< T >

Represents either an error or a value T.

ErrorOr<T> is a pointer-like class that represents the result of an operation. The result is either an error, or a value of type T. This is designed to emulate the usage of returning a pointer where nullptr indicates failure. However instead of just knowing that the operation failed, we also have an error_code and optional user data that describes why it failed.

It is used like the following.

ErrorOr<Buffer> getBuffer();
auto buffer = getBuffer();
if (error_code ec = buffer.getError())
return ec;
buffer->write("adena");

Implicit conversion to bool returns true if there is a usable value. The unary * and -> operators provide pointer like access to the value. Accessing the value when there is an error has undefined behavior.

When T is a reference type the behavior is slightly different. The reference is held in a std::reference_wrapper<std::remove_reference<T>::type>, and there is special handling to make operator -> work as if T was not a reference.

T cannot be a rvalue reference.
