@ericniebler @CppSage We have a syntax for that already... You put x in the angle brackets instead of the parens

template<int x> consteval int fun() {...}

@blelbach @CppNorth @chandlerc1024 Take the prototype for a spin at https://t.co/x5d7DAgjxK

Carbon, a successor language to C++ was announced at @CppNorth today by @chandlerc1024.

I'm very excited about this project's potential. You can learn more about Carbon and get involved on GitHub.

@hankadusikova Hey, I'm not the one posting code samples that make const west look bad 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Jeff Snyder @je4d]

@hankadusikova I have no allegiance here... I am const agnostic

@blelbach @cpponsea It was pretty great... No idea how you got through a large one though, next time I'm ordering a small!

@apardoe @rodgertq @lefticus @olafurw @PatriceRoy1 @tvaneerd To be clear, I'm not saying it's necessarily a big job, it's more that I lack experience in hacking on compilers. The paper does have a gc-like aspect to it though, which could make things interesting.

[Jeff Snyder @je4d]

@JonathanPieNews Oh dear. This is no laughing matter.

[Jeff Snyder @je4d]

Twitter giving me solid C++ advice today. Recommended for everybody. @Cor3ntin

@hankadusikova @LouisDionne Nice! Found any bugs in the clang impl yet?

[Jeff Snyder @je4d]

@bjorn_fahller @hankadusikova @shafikyaghmour What hana said... https://t.co/A1DiljnQc9 is the paper that replaced the comparison-based test with the public members requirement, so the rationale you're looking for should be in there

[Jeff Snyder @je4d]

@taralx @shafikyaghmour For X<C, "hi"> to non-surprising, it'd have to be the same type every time you write it. But the template argument is a pointer value, so "hi" would need to be the same pointer every time it's written. And that isn't guaranteed.

[Jeff Snyder @je4d]

@shafikyaghmour Finally, one of these I can answer with confidence! And all I needed to do was be the person who proposed the relevant C++20 feature. Still had to think for a minute about whether we also merged Louis' paper in the end.

[Jeff Snyder @je4d]

@AlisdairMered Got it right by an educated guess amongst all the options that weren't <ranges>... Because why would it be in there? 🙄
