Hi,
Currently, non-type templates still have several limitations:
- must be structural (no private members)
- no allocations even if the type has a constexpr destructor
- can't contain floating point (double or float)
- can't hold strings of the "const char *" form
and so on...
These limitations have a good reason behind them for templated class and
function as they produce symbols in assembly and need to be resolved.
But as consteval functions never produce assembly/symbols and will never be
resolved by another translation unit than their own these restrictions
should be lifted.
What are your thoughts on this?
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,
Bastien Penavayre
