Re: [Tinycc-devel] Opinions on constexpr being added to C2X?

[Tyge Løvset]

I added tgmath.h last year, which includes generic support for all non-complex math functions. As complex.h is optional in C11 and not included with tinycc, this should be fine.

I think any added C11 features should be welcome, C2X features are secondary, imo unless it is low-hanging fruit and easy to implement.

On constexpr, I  find it interesting for tinycc as it minimizes generated code - efficiency gains are not that important. Mutable types like in c++ are useful,

although it is possible to write functional style code instead. I haven't looked at the proposal yet, though.

Atomics are here now; I think the only thing missing is wide-chars/strings, no?

 

I have a patch to support a number of c11/c2x features (including widestrings), but the last time I posted it on this list I was met with crickets, so I am not sure what else to do with it (aside from continuing to use it for myself).
