The issue with posix_spawn is that you can't close all descriptors before exec. This is especially an issue as most libraries are still unaware they need to open every single handl…

It's inherently inefficient because while the child process does its initialization (pre-exec) stuff, the parent gets page faults for every thread writing into the memory due to CO…

You simply can't. The constexpr environment won't let you have uninitialized variables/memory anywhere. It won't let you access dangling/out-of-bounds pointers either, overflow two…
