Constructs a new expected object.

1) Default constructor. If T is not (possibly cv-qualified) void, constructs an object that contains an expected value, which is value-initialized.
After construction, has_value() returns true.
This overload participates in overload resolution only if T is (possibly cv-qualified) void or std::is_default_constructible_v<T> is true.
2) Copy constructor. If other.has_value() is false, the new object contains an unexpected value, which is direct-initialized from other.error(). Otherwise, if T is not (possibly cv-qualified) void, the new object contains an expected value, which is direct-initialized from *other.
After construction, has_value() is equal to other.has_value().
This constructor is defined as deleted unless
This constructor is trivial if
3) Move constructor. If other.has_value() is false, the new object contains an unexpected value, which is direct-initialized from std::move(other.error()). Otherwise, if T is not (possibly cv-qualified) void, the new object contains an expected value, which is direct-initialized from std::move(*other).
After construction, has_value() is equal to other.has_value().
This constructor participates in overload resolution only if
This constructor is trivial if
4,5) Let
If other.has_value() is false, the new object contains an unexpected value, which is direct-initialized from std::forward<GF>(other.error()). Otherwise, if T is not (possibly cv-qualified) void, the new object contains an expected value, which is direct-initialized from std::forward<UF>(*other).
After construction, has_value() is equal to other.has_value().
Each of these constructors does not participate in overload resolution unless the following conditions are met respectively:
These constructors are explicit if std::is_convertible_v<UF, T> or std::is_convertible_v<GF, E> is false.
6) Constructs an object that contains an expected value, initialized as if direct-initializing (but not direct-list-initializing) an object of type T with the expression std::forward<U>(v).
After construction, has_value() returns true.
This constructor does not participate in overload resolution unless the following conditions are met:
7,8) Let GF be const G& for (7) and G for (8). Constructs an object that contains an unexpected value, which is direct-initialized from std::forward<GF>(e.error()).
After construction, has_value() returns false.
These overloads participate in overload resolution only if std::is_constructible_v<E, GF> is true.
9) Constructs an object that contains an expected value, which is direct-initialized from the arguments std::forward<Args>(args)....
After construction, has_value() returns true.
This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_constructible_v<T, Args...> is true.
10) Constructs an object that contains an expected value, which is direct-initialized from the arguments il, std::forward<Args>(args)....
After construction, has_value() returns true.
This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_constructible_v<T, std::initializer_list<U>&, Args...> is true.
11) Constructs an object such that after construction, has_value() returns true.
12) Constructs an object that contains an unexpected value, which is direct-initialized from the arguments std::forward<Args>(args)....
After construction, has_value() returns false.
This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_constructible_v<E, Args...> is true.
13) Constructs an object that contains an unexpected value, which is direct-initialized from the arguments il, std::forward<Args>(args)....
After construction, has_value() returns false.
This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_constructible_v<E, std::initializer_list<U>&, Args...> is true.

Parameters

other - another expected object whose contained value is copied
e - std::unexpected object whose contained value is copied
v - value with which to initialize the contained value
args... - arguments with which to initialize the contained value
il - initializer list with which to initialize the contained value

Exceptions

If T is (possibly cv-qualified) void,
noexcept specification:  
noexcept
  
2) Throws any exception thrown by the constructor of T or E.
