value_type &assume_value() & noexcept - Boost.Outcome documentation

# `value_type &assume_value() & noexcept`

Narrow contract lvalue reference observer of any value present. `NoValuePolicy::narrow_value_check()` is first invoked, then the reference to the value is returned. The convention is that hard undefined behaviour occurs if no value is actually present, however `NoValuePolicy::narrow_value_check()` can do something to avoid that.

Note that if `value_type` is `void`, only a `const` overload returning `void` is present.

Requires: Always available.

Complexity: Depends on `NoValuePolicy::narrow_value_check()`.

Guarantees: An exception is never thrown.
