exception_type &exception() & - Boost.Outcome documentation

# `exception_type &exception() &`

Wide contract lvalue reference observer of the stored exception. `NoValuePolicy::wide_exception_check()` is first invoked, then the reference to the exception is returned. As a valid default constructed exception is always present, no undefined behaviour occurs if `NoValuePolicy::wide_exception_check()` returns.

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

Requires: Always available.

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

Guarantees: None.
