Public Functions

Type	Name
E	error () Retrieve the error, or throw bad_expected_access if a value is contained.
E	error_or (const E & default_) Return the contained error, or, if a value is contained, return the given default_ instead.
	expected (const T & value)
	expected (const E & error)
bool	has_value () Whether the expected instance holds a value (as opposed to an error). Call this before trying to access values via value() .
T	value () Retrieve the value, or throw bad_expected_access if an error is contained.
T	value_or (const T & default_) Return the contained value, or, if an error is contained, return the given default_ instead.
T	value_or_throw (const std::string & error_msg) If the instance has a value, return the value, else throw std::runtime_error(error_msg)
