~optional();		(since C++17) (constexpr since C++20)

If the object contains a value and the type T is not trivially destructible (see std::is_trivially_destructible), destroys the contained value by calling its destructor, as if by value().T::~T().

Otherwise, does nothing.

Notes

If T is trivially-destructible, then this destructor is also trivial, so std::optional<T> is also trivially-destructible.

Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR	Applied to	Behavior as published	Correct behavior
P2231R1	C++20	the destructor was not constexpr while non-trivial destructors can be constexpr in C++20	made constexpr
