std::expected<T,E>::transform_error

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:

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>.

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.
