[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v7 01/14] libcamera: yaml_parser: Replace ok flag to get() with std::optional

Laurent Pinchart laurent.pinchart at ideasonboard.com
Wed Jul 27 04:38:03 CEST 2022


The YamlObject::get() function takes a default value and an optional
bool ok flag to handle parsing errors. This ad-hoc mechanism complicates
error handling in callers.

A better API is possible by dropping the default value and ok flag and
returning an std::optional. Not only does it simplify the calls, it also
lets callers handle errors through the standard std::optional class
instead of the current ad-hoc mechanism.

Provide a convenience get() wrapper around std::optional::value_or() to
further simplify callers that don't need any specific error handling.
