Per LWG-3843,
std::expected<int, std::unique_ptr<int>>{}.value()
needs to be rejected. But currently MSVC and Clang incorrectly accept it (DevCom-1638273 and LLVM-53224).We also need to ensure that the
value() &
overload also treats_Err
as a const lvalue on copy.The mandating is missing in the standard wording in [expected.void.obs] currently, which is likely another LWG issue. I've mailed LWG chair for this.
Edit: the issue is now LWG-3940.
