Thanks for working on this. A nice pre-requisit to optional<T&>. If you decide to work on it, please let me know. I have it assigned to me but I've done minimal work yet.

✅ With the latest revision this PR passed the C/C++ code formatter.

…r inclusion in __pstl/default.h in C++17 and C++20 The circular include looks like the following: optional -> __format/range_format.h -> __format/concepts.h -> __format/format_parse_context.h -> string_view -> algorithm -> __algorithm/pstl.h -> __pstl/backend.h -> __pstl/backends/default.h -> optional

…2, also remove check_assertion.h header in test due to it breaking

I think we should guard this declaration with _LIBCPP_STD_VER >= 26 (or at least _LIBCPP_STD_VER >= 17). Although the declaration of span wasn't guarded previously.

FWIW I'm neutral on this. I don't think it hurts to have the friend declaration in all standard modes, but it also doesn't hurt to make it more strict and guard it. I do have some questions related to using __wrap_iter at all though, see below.

Thanks a lot for the patch! This seems to check most of the boxes for what we're usually looking in a patch, which is great. I do have some comments and a few requests for changes.

 public:

+  using iterator       = __wrap_iter<pointer>;


I wonder if __wrap_iter is the right tool for the job here. __wrap_iter is basically __random_access_iterator except it has a weird name due to historical reasons. Recently, we've been trying to maintain relevant static information in the type of the iterators, see for example this discussion or this one yielding this issue.

As you have it right now, std::optional iterators would be interchangeable with std::vector iterators. I'm not certain that's what we want since that could lead to unintended misuse from users, and we're also dropping a lot of information on the floor (namely the fact that the range's size is at most 1).

My current thinking is that we should either:

Define an iterator that is specific to std::optional, or

Define an iterator type that encodes the static information about the maximum size of the range being N. Something like __statically_bounded_iterator<Underlying, N>, although that name clashes with libcxx/include/__iterator/static_bounded_iter.h which is used for hardening. The idea is similar, except the iterator used by optional doesn't need to physically maintain its bounds, it just wants to encode that static knowledge somewhere.

This actually makes me realize that there's something else we should probably do as well: we should probably provide an option to use hardened __static_bounded_iters in optional (behind an ABI macro).

I personally think the second option sounds good, but should go in a different PR of course. It might also be useful for other containers like inplace_vector.

As for the __static_bounded_iter suggestion, I originally implemented hardening with __bounded_iter (but kept it out of the PR to get some input first), which felt like the better choice since we can't know if the optional is going to have a range of 0 or 1 at compile time(?)

@ldionne What improvement do you see by providing an optional-specific iterator? I don't really see how such an iterator would buy us anything. It would be an improvement for bounds-safety, but that's not provided here anyways.

Where do we get that from?

I'm pretty sure it comes from a transitive include originating in __format/range_format.h. I ran into an issue when including it unguarded because somewhere along the chain optional gets included in an <algorithm> sub-header but only in C++17 and C++20--where the issues cropped up.

I think I like how you organized the tests now. FYI only - I am not asking for any changes: there is an alternative to iterate over multiple types a helper types::for_each(types::integer_types(), IntegerTypesTest{}); an example usage is here: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/9ae7490c6251ec60ab978bb818e89ca586e0c9c9/libcxx/test/std/ranges/range.factories/range.iota.view/indices.pass.cpp
