Saying "XXX is an asshole" if XXX is in fact an asshole is also the objective truth, yet warrants removal for insulting someone.

It's not silenced, the post is up for all to see. We have just disabled the ability to post new comments under it.

Hey, u/ss99ww. We did not go on a banning spree, we banned only one person, you. After removing the comment we're you insulted someone, I checked your history, noticed that you did…

Oh, that's just a side effect of the way the work is distributed :D I'm hired to maintain our core libraries and general C++ stuff, and I write most of the blog articles, so it's a…

Yes, but sadly I have to use Boost.Spirit at work :(

To be fair, std::unordered_map is also very slow in release mode.

Based on what they've told me the long term governance plan is to establish an independent foundation, with development controlled by three equal lead developers from different com…

The conclusion is "yes, we still need it".

There are attributes like `[[gnu::always_inline]]` for GCC and clang.

$ is already a valid identifier character in a clang and gcc extension. And there won't be reflexpr and $, those are two different proposal. And due to the extension, it won't be $…

And I've showed one way to do the matching in an automated way. How you wrap those implementation things, is up to you. I agree, overloading might have problems.

Even if you named the functions differently (clz8/16/32/64), you still needed to match them to the appropriate __builtin_clz version.
