//@PURPOSE: Provide a template for nullable (in-place) objects.
//
//@CLASSES:
//  bdlb::NullableValue: template for nullable (in-place) objects
//
//@SEE_ALSO: bdlb_nullableallocatedvalue, bslstl_optional
//
//@DESCRIPTION: This component provides a template class,
// 'bdlb::NullableValue<TYPE>', that can be used to augment an arbitrary
// value-semantic 'TYPE', such as 'int' or 'bsl::string', so that it also
// supports the notion of a "null" value.  That is, the set of values
// representable by the template parameter 'TYPE' is extended to include null.
// If the underlying 'TYPE' is fully value-semantic, then so will the augmented
// type 'bdlb::NullableValue<TYPE>'.  Two homogeneous nullable objects have the
// same value if their underlying (non-null) 'TYPE' values are the same, or
// both are null.
//
// Note that the object of template parameter 'TYPE' that is managed by a
// 'bdlb::NullableValue<TYPE>' object is created *in*-*place*.  Consequently,
// the template parameter 'TYPE' must be a complete type when the class is
// instantiated.  In contrast, 'bdlb::NullableAllocatedValue<TYPE>' (see
// 'bdlb_nullableallocatedvalue') does not require that 'TYPE' be complete when
// that class is instantiated, with the trade-off that the managed 'TYPE'
// object is always allocated out-of-place in that case.
//
// In addition to the standard homogeneous, value-semantic, operations such as
// copy construction, copy assignment, equality comparison, and BDEX streaming,
// 'bdlb::NullableValue' also supports conversion between augmented types for
// which the underlying types are convertible, i.e., for heterogeneous copy
// construction, copy assignment, and equality comparison (e.g., between 'int'
// and 'double'); attempts at conversion between incompatible types, such as
// 'int' and 'bsl::string', will fail to compile.  Note that these operational
// semantics are similar to those found in 'bsl::shared_ptr'.
//
// Furthermore, a move constructor (taking an optional allocator) and a
// move-assignment operator are also provided.  Note that move semantics are
// emulated with C++03 compilers.
//
///Conversion to 'bool': Explicit with C++11 but Implicit with C++03
///-----------------------------------------------------------------
// 'bdlb::NullableValue<TYPE>' provides a standard-compliant allocator-aware
// implementation of 'std::optional<TYPE>'.  Hence, 'bdlb::NullableValue<TYPE>'
// converts to 'bool', where the resulting Boolean value indicates whether the
// 'bdlb::NullableValue<TYPE>' object is "engaged" (see {'bslstl_optional'}).
// With C++11 and later, this conversion is explicit (per the C++ Standard) but
// the conversion is *implicit* with C++03 because 'explicit' conversion
// operators were not available until C++11.  Note that this implicit
// conversion on C++03 platforms is implemented using the "unspecified Boolean
// type" idiom.
//
// For example, consider the following code snippet where we assert behavior
// that holds with C++11 (and later), i.e., that there is not an *implicit*
// conversion from 'bdlb::NullableValue<double>' to 'bool':
//..
//  typedef bdlb::NullableValue<double> AnyNullableValue;
//
//  assert(!(bsl::is_convertible<AnyNullableValue, bool>::value));
//..
// However, as explained above, the assertion fails with C++03.  The result is
// the same when 'double' is substituted with any other type.
//
///Usage
///-----
// The following snippets of code illustrate use of this component:
//
// First, create a nullable 'int' object:
//..
//  bdlb::NullableValue<int> nullableInt;
//  assert( nullableInt.isNull());
//..
// Next, give the 'int' object the value 123 (making it non-null):
//..
//  nullableInt.makeValue(123);
//  assert(!nullableInt.isNull());
//  assert(123 == nullableInt.value());
//..
// Finally, reset the object to its default constructed state (i.e., null):
//..
//  nullableInt.reset();
//  assert( nullableInt.isNull());
//..
