// Optional is a drop in replacement for std::optional until we migrate
// to c++-17. Only a subset of the optional features are implemented that
// we intend to use in ArmNN.

// There are two distinct implementations here:
//
//   1, for normal constructable/destructable types and reference types
//   2, for reference types

// The std::optional features we support are:
//
// - has_value() and operator bool() to tell if the optional has a value
// - value() returns a reference to the held object
//

// EmptyOptional is used to initialize the Optional class in case we want
// to have default value for an Optional in a function declaration.

// the contained object should be constructed in-place
