Long-time happy Wise business customer here (since before the name change). While generally great, their KYC flow needs serious attention. Received four document request emails sim…

IMHO SOUL is a game changer in audio just like OpenGL/Direct3D/etc. was a game changer in the graphics world. Think of all of the graphics technologies that were enabled by OpenGL/…

Hmmm, I'm not sure I understand. You can't really mark `static static_map ::Value& get()` constexpr because it returns a value which is only known at run-time - again the value is …

Because with a constexpr declaration everything will be constexpr, i.e. you couldn't modify the values at run-time. The idea here is that finding the storage of the value is done a…

I'm looking forward to C++-20 when this is not needed anymore :-) - it will support string literals as non-type template parameters.

Both your approach and the `semi::static_map` will generate the same type of load instruction. In both cases, the compiler knows the offset of the values in memory at compile-time.…

Yes, that's a nice approach. However, this approach requires you to list all your keys in advance (in the enum). The `semi::static_map` does not require this.This is especially use…

Yup. The frozen map cannot be updated once it is initialized: >

Thanks, I'll have a look at this!

Yes with the optional run-time lookup there is an extra two machine instructions (a cmp and jne) needed to check if this is the first time accessing the value. It is exactly as fas…

Yes, in a way you are right: the compiler really does boil it down to global variables. However, `semi::static_map` gives you some additional features, which may be useful for a lo…
