type value

The immediate value carried by the immediate option.

Given the presence of unchecked_value, the value type should not have operations that depend on the value's validity for memory safety. In particular, unchecked_value is not called unsafe_value as it would be if it could return a value that later resulted in a segmentation fault. For pointer-like values, use Ext.Nullable, for example.

type t

Represents value option without allocating a Some tag. The interface does not enforce that t is immediate because some types, like Int63.t, are only immediate on 64-bit platforms. For representations whose type is immediate, use S below which adds the [@@immediate] annotation.

val none : t
val some : value -> t
val some_is_representable : value -> Core_kernel__.Import.bool

For some representations of immediate options, the encodings of none and some overlap. For these representations, some_is_representable value = false if value cannot be represented as an option. For example, Int.Option uses min_value to represent none. For other representations, some_is_representable always returns true.

val is_none : t -> Core_kernel__.Import.bool
val is_some : t -> Core_kernel__.Import.bool
val value : t -> default:value -> value

value (some x) ~default = x and value none ~default = default.

val value_exn : t -> value

value_exn (some x) = x. value_exn none raises. Unlike Option.value_exn, there is no ?message argument, so that calls to value_exn that do not raise also do not have to allocate.

val unchecked_value : t -> value

unchecked_value (some x) = x. unchecked_value none returns an unspecified value. unchecked_value t is intended as an optimization of value_exn t when is_some t is known to be true.
