constexpr element_type* release() noexcept;		(library fundamentals TS v2)

Stop watching the watched object, if any. get() returns nullptr after the call.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

A pointer to the previously watched object, or nullptr if there was no watched object, i.e. the value which would be returned by get() before the call.

get	returns a pointer to the watched object (public member function)
reset	replaces the watched object (public member function)
