Adam Hunyadi updated MINIFICPP-1254:
------------------------------------
Description:
*Background:*
The MiNiFi project is currently lacking an optional class.
*Proposal:*
As optional is an important tool for development we decided to port the boost
implementation which is to be replaced once we upgrade MiNiFi to be c++17
compatible.
*Update:*
Boost::optional seems to be too big of a library, with all its dependencies it
ended up taking up 13M. As an alternate solution the proposal is to use this
alternative:
