Understanding The constexpr 2-Step: From Compile Time To Run Time
Jason Turner
11:00-12:00, Wednesday, 3rd July 2024
C++20 enabled both std::vector
and std::string
for constexpr
usage. However, this simple case does not compile:
constexpr std::vector<int> data{1,2,3,4,5};
If we cannot create constexpr
strings and vectors, then what good are they for constexpr
use?
This talk will cover the "constexpr
two-step." A method of getting data of unknown size generated at compile time into the runtime world while minimizing binary sizes in the process.
