Clang-tidy marks [tl::optional::value()](https://github.com/TartanLlama/optional) with a `[bugprone-exception-escape](https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/bugprone/exception-escape.html)` but doesn't do so when using the standard std::optional. Here are example functions to illustrate the issue:
```c++
int fillIfEmptyOrRetValue(tl::optional<int>& val) noexcept // marked as bugprone-exception-escape
{
if (val.has_value())
{
return val.value();
}
val = 0;
return 0;
}
int fillIfEmptyOrRetValue(std::optional<int>& val) noexcept
{
if (val.has_value())
{
return val.value();
}
val = 0;
return 0;
}
```
The function utilizing the standard std::optional does not trigger the bugprone-exception-escape warning, while the version with tl::optional does. This behavior seems inconsistent, given that tl::optional::value() cannot throw if has_value() has already confirmed the presence of a value. Consequently, I am forced to wrap val.value() in a try-catch block to suppress the clang-tidy warning, which seems unnecessary.
Is there a way to configure clang-tidy to recognize tl::optional::value() as an exception-safe function for the purposes of this check? This adjustment would be great, since the current workaround complicates the code without providing any safety benefits. I already found this parameter `FunctionsThatShouldNotThrow`, but it doesn't work for me (probably I use it wrong):
```
CheckOptions:
- {
key: bugprone-exception-escape.FunctionsThatShouldNotThrow,
value: "tl::optional::value",
}
```
I am using clang-tidy from clangd version 17.0.3.
