SG16 will hold a meeting Wednesday, February 25th, at 19:30 UTC (timezone conversion).
The agenda is:
SG16 previously reviewed P3412R1 during the 2025-02-26 SG16 meeting. Concerns raised then included interaction with the preprocessor, the phases of translation, handling of escape sequences, standalone usability, and integration with std::format(). Bengt will present a brief overview of the proposal and the updates in the new revisions intended to address prior SG16 review feedback.
P3951R0 is a new paper courtesy of Barry that offers an alternative perspective on string interpolation that makes different tradeoffs relative to P3412R3.
Please try to set aside time to read both of these papers before the meeting as there are many details to consider. Spend some time considering possible future use cases (from an SG16 perspective) and the ability for each design to evolve to satisfy them.
I don't expect discussion on these papers to conclude at this meeting. Plan for 30 minutes of presentation and clarifying questions for each paper. We'll then proceed with general discussion. Ideally, discussion would lead authors towards a unified/merged design or a determination that one proposal or the other is objectively better suited to desired and anticipated uses. If consensus for a single design fails to emerge, then we'll focus on understanding the points of contention with a goal of ensuring LEWG is well informed of the relevant tradeoffs.
