Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating Boost.MPI optional usage in graph_parallel, then review the affected interfaces against the issue's two compatibility requirements. Done means clients can handle either optional type and obtain the MPI type from boost::mpi::optional.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hi,

Boost.MPI is moving from boost::optional to std::optional when the later is available (unless explicitly asked otherwise).
During the transition phase, clients can expect either, which implies to

  • only rely on the common API between boost::optional and std::optional
  • take the Boost MPI type from boost::mpi::optional

I'll submit a pull request with those modifications.
