template< class F > constexpr auto transform_error( F&& f ) &;	(1)	(since C++23)
template< class F > constexpr auto transform_error( F&& f ) const&;	(2)	(since C++23)
template< class F > constexpr auto transform_error( F&& f ) &&;	(3)	(since C++23)
template< class F > constexpr auto transform_error( F&& f ) const&&;	(4)	(since C++23)

If *this contains an error value, invokes f and returns a std::expected object that contains its result; otherwise, returns a std::expected object that contains a copy of **this. The contained value (error()) is passed as an argument to f.

Let G be:

• for overloads (1-2), std::remove_cv_t<std::invoke_result_t<F, decltype(error())>>;
• for overloads (3-4), std::remove_cv_t<std::invoke_result_t<F, decltype(std::move(error()))>>.

G must be a valid template argument for std::unexpected. A variable of type G must be constructible from the result of invocation (but does not need to be move-constructible). The return type is std::expected<T, G>.

1-2) If *this contains an expected value:

• if std::is_void_v<T> is false, returns std::expected<T, G>(std::in_place, **this);
• otherwise, returns std::expected<T, G>().

Otherwise (*this contains an error value), returns a std::expected<T, G> object that contains an error value, direct-initialized from std::invoke(std::forward<F>(f), error()).

These overloads participate in overload resolution only if std::is_void_v<T> or std::is_constructible_v<T, decltype(**this)> is true.

3-4) If *this contains an expected value:

• if std::is_void_v<T> is false, returns std::expected<T, G>(std::in_place, std::move(**this));
• otherwise, returns std::expected<T, G>().

Otherwise (*this contains an error value), returns a std::expected<T, G> object that contains an error value, direct-initialized from std::invoke(std::forward<F>(f), std::move(error())).

These overloads participate in overload resolution only if std::is_void_v<T> or std::is_constructible_v<T, decltype(std::move(**this))> is true.

Parameters

f

-

a suitable function or Callable object whose call signature returns a non-reference type

Return value

A std::expected object containing either the result of f or an expected value, as described above.

or_else (C++23)	returns the expected itself if it contains an expected value; otherwise, returns the result of the given function on the unexpected value (public member function)
transform (C++23)	returns an expected containing the transformed expected value if it exists; otherwise, returns the expected itself (public member function)
