Up till now, it is the decision of the compiler, whether to evaluate those expressions in compile-time or runtime.
This was chosen on purpose.
"must be a compile-time constant." would contradict this philosophy.
I wonder is it foreseeable in the future that the following would be valid code for a program that ends with EXIT_SUCCESS?
template<int i>
bool Func(void)
{
return 666 == i;
}
constexpr bool Func2(int const a)
{
if consteval
{
return Func<a>();
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
constexpr int monkey = 665;
int main(void)
{
return !Func2( monkey + 1 );
}
