ikr, constexpr is pretty cool. sure, no problem. I could make it fully compatible with c++14 without c++17 extensions if u wanna use it with c++14
I mean, I am not too concerned and it is your code. The
if constexpr
is just so much spiffier. You should do what's best for you.My own use case is that for pre-C++23 (and in particular, pre-C++20) workflows I'm looking to homogeneize the set of dependencies used to supplement the standard library and this looks like a great candidate lib. I already have my own
expected
, actually, but would rather someone else's who knows what they're doing. Since C++14 is the oldest standard I have to support directly for clients (big improvement: was C++03 before 2021) and it brought in the big changes that madeconstexpr
actually usable, I treat C++14 as a a sorta "C++ LTS" in my codebase.alright then.
I see.
expected
is such a great library to have regardless of the standard version. oh c++03, I'm not familiar with that standard.I enabled support for c++11 regardless, it's kinda cool to do so
