What is the boost equivalent to std::optional nullopt?

Question

I've imported some code pieces from a third party project into my C++11 project. The third party project uses optional-lite [1], though I'm using Boost heavily in the project and want to keep dependency on other libraries low.

There is boost::optional , but unlike the c++17 counterpart it does not have nullopt .

What's the Boost equivalent to nullopt ?

(Note: Boost version is 1.69)

The equivalent is boost::none . See optional(none_t) .
