Do you have suggestions on how to code the following simple examples to not error? Can some of these be fixed in ErrorOr.h? Or am I totally not getting something?<div><br></div><div>-Nick<br><div><br></div><div><br><font face="Monaco" size="1">struct Foo { void doit(); };<br><br><br>std::unique_ptr<Foo> factoryU() {<br> std::unique_ptr<Foo> f(new Foo);<br> return f; // works as expected<br>}<br><br>ErrorOr<Foo*> factoryE() {<br> ErrorOr<Foo*> f = new Foo;<br> return f; // works as expected<br>}<br><br>ErrorOr<std::unique_ptr<Foo>> factoryEU() {<br> std::unique_ptr<Foo> f(new Foo);<br> return f; // ERROR: call to implicitly-deleted copy constructor of 'std::__1::unique_ptr<Foo, std::__1::default_delete<Foo> >’<br>}<br><br><br>void sinkU(std::unique_ptr<Foo> f) {<br> f->doit(); // works as expected<br>}<br><br>void sinkE(ErrorOr<Foo*> f) {<br> f->doit(); // ERROR: member reference base type 'typename remove_reference<Foo *>::type' (aka 'Foo *') is not a structure or union'<br>}<br><br>void sinkEU(ErrorOr<std::unique_ptr<Foo>> f) {<br> f->doit(); // ERROR: no member named 'doit' in 'std::__1::unique_ptr<Foo, std::__1::default_delete<Foo> >'<br>}<br><br></font><br></div></div></body></html>
