(since C++17)

std::nullopt_t is an empty class type used to indicate that an std::optional does not contain a value.

std::nullopt_t is a non-aggregate LiteralType that has no default constructor, no initializer-list constructor, but does have a constexpr

Notes

The constraints on nullopt_t's constructors exist to support both op = {}; and op = nullopt;

A possible implementation of this class is

struct nullopt_t {
    constexpr explicit nullopt_t(int) {}
};
