The struct nullopt_­t is an empty structure type used as a unique type to indicate the state of not containing a value for optional objects. In particular, optional<T> has a constructor with nullopt_­t as a single argument; this indicates that an optional object not containing a value shall be constructed.

Type nullopt_­t shall not have a default constructor or an initializer-list constructor, and shall not be an aggregate.
