Thanks for the report.

I have yet to come up with a convincing approach to solve this problem; suggestions are welcome. We might be tempted to follow MS-GSL and only define comparison operators for two not_null<> arguments (link) rather than the set of mixed-argument overloads we have now (link); but the simpler approach is fraught with other problems: for example, comparing std::shared_ptr<T> and not_null<std::shared_ptr<T>> then fails, whereas it works fine with gsl-lite. (Repro for MS-GSL, gsl-lite.)

As an aside, isn't optional<not_null<T>> just a contrived semantic equivalent of T?

from gsl-lite.

Yeah, kinda. But when designing generic types / interfaces with value semantics, this issue adds some mental overhead. The pattern is used frequently in Rust, with Option<Box<T>> which is equivalently optional<not_null<T*>>.
