<p>Since <span class="citation" data-cites="P2564R0">[<a href="#ref-P2564R0" role="doc-biblioref">P2564R0</a>]</span>, many wording changes and added lots of examples.</p>

<p><span class="citation" data-cites="P1240R2">[<a href="#ref-P1240R2" role="doc-biblioref">P1240R2</a>]</span> proposes that we should use a monotype, <code class="sourceCode cpp">std<span class="op">::</span>meta<span class="op">::</span>info</code>, as part of a value-based reflection. One argument here is that lots of operations return ranges of <code class="sourceCode cpp">meta<span class="op">::</span>info</code> and it would be valuable if we could simply reuse our plethora of existing range algorithms for these use-cases.</p>
<p>Let’s investigate this claim.</p>
<p>We don’t need a working implementation of P1240 to test this, it’s enough to have this very, very loose approximation:</p>
<blockquote>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb1"><pre class="sourceCode cpp"><code class="sourceCode cpp"><span id="cb1-1"><a href="#cb1-1"></a><span class="kw">namespace</span> std<span class="op">::</span>meta <span class="op">{</span></span>

<span id="cb1-7"><a href="#cb1-7"></a> <span class="op">}</span></span>
<span id="cb1-8"><a href="#cb1-8"></a><span class="op">}</span></span></code></pre></div>
</blockquote>
<p>And let’s pick a simple problem. We start some sequence of… we’ll call them types:</p>
<blockquote>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb2"><pre class="sourceCode cpp"><code class="sourceCode cpp"><span id="cb2-1"><a href="#cb2-1"></a><span class="kw">constexpr</span> std<span class="op">::</span>meta<span class="op">::</span>info types<span class="op">[]</span> <span class="op">=</span> <span class="op">{</span><span class="dv">1</span>, <span class="dv">3</span>, <span class="dv">5</span><span class="op">}</span>;</span></code></pre></div>
</blockquote>
<p>We want to ensure that none of them are invalid. This is a problem for which we have a direct algorithm: <code class="sourceCode cpp">none_of</code>. Let’s try using it:</p>

<p>This leaves a lot to be desired. The only mechanism completely sanctioned by the language and library rules we have today is to write a bespoke consteval function which invokes the algorithm using a non-generic, consteval lambda that just wraps an existing library function and converts it to a function pointer.</p>
<p>Put simply: algorithms are basically unusable with the consteval rules we have.</p>
<h1 data-number="3" style="border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc" id="consteval-is-a-color"><span class="header-section-number">3</span> <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> is a color<a href="#consteval-is-a-color" class="self-link"></a></h1>
<p>The problem is that <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> is a color <span class="citation" data-cites="what-color">[<a href="#ref-what-color" role="doc-biblioref">what-color</a>]</span>. <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> functions and function templates can only be called by other <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> functions and function templates.</p>
<p><code class="sourceCode cpp">std<span class="op">::</span>ranges<span class="op">::</span>none_of</code>, like all the other algorithms in the standard library, and probably all the other algorithms outside of the standard library, are not <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> functions or function templates. Moreover, none of these algorithms are ever going to either become <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> or be duplicated in order to gain a <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> twin. Which means that none of these algorithms, including <code class="sourceCode cpp">none_of</code>, can ever invoke any of the facilities proposed by <span class="citation" data-cites="P1240R2">[<a href="#ref-P1240R2" role="doc-biblioref">P1240R2</a>]</span>.</p>
<h2 data-number="3.1" id="some-code-is-already-multi-colored"><span class="header-section-number">3.1</span> Some code is already multi-colored<a href="#some-code-is-already-multi-colored" class="self-link"></a></h2>
<p>Almost.</p>
<p>One of the new C++23 features is <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="cf">if</span> <span class="kw">consteval</span></code> <span class="citation" data-cites="P1938R3">[<a href="#ref-P1938R3" role="doc-biblioref">P1938R3</a>]</span>, which partially alleviates the <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> color problem. That facility allows <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> functions to be called by <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">constexpr</span></code> functions in a guarded context, largely in order to solve the same sort of problem that <code class="sourceCode cpp">std<span class="op">::</span>is_constant_evaluated<span class="op">()</span></code> <span class="citation" data-cites="P0595R2">[<a href="#ref-P0595R2" role="doc-biblioref">P0595R2</a>]</span> set out to solve except in a way that would now allow you to invoke <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> functions.</p>
<p>The way it works is by establishing an immediate function context. This is important because the rule we were constantly running up against was that:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span class="marginalizedparent"><a class="marginalized" href="#pnum_13" id="pnum_13">13</a></span> An immediate invocation shall be a constant expression.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>And a call to an immediate function that is in an immediate function context is not an immediate invocation.</p>
<p>In our case here, we’re not trying to choose between a compile-time friendly algorithm and a run-time efficient one. We’re only trying to write compile-time code. But that’s okay, there’s no rule that says you need an <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="cf">else</span></code>:</p>

<p>So… this is fine. We can still use <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> functions with lambdas, as long as we just wrap all of our lambda bodies in <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="cf">if</span> <span class="kw">consteval</span></code> (but definitely also not make them <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> - they’re only kind of <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code>).</p>

<p>We could avoid putting the burden of sprinkling their code with <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="cf">if</span> <span class="kw">consteval</span></code> by pushing all of these extra calls into the library.</p>
<p>For instance, we could make this change to <code class="sourceCode cpp">none_of</code>:</p>

<p>But unfortunately that doesn’t actually work. If <code class="sourceCode cpp">pred<span class="op">(*</span>first<span class="op">)</span></code> were actually a <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> call, then even duplicating the check in both branches of an <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="cf">if</span> <span class="kw">consteval</span></code> doesn’t help us. The call to <code class="sourceCode cpp">pred<span class="op">(*</span>first<span class="op">)</span></code> in the first sub-statement (the case where we are doing constant evluation) is fine, since now we’re in an immediate function context, but the call to <code class="sourceCode cpp">pred<span class="op">(*</span>first<span class="op">)</span></code> in the second sub-statement (the “runtime” case) is just as problematic as it was without the <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="cf">if</span> <span class="kw">consteval</span></code>.</p>
<p>So the attempted solution on the right isn’t just ridiculous looking, it also doesn’t help. The only library solution here (and I’m using the word solution fairly loosely) is to have one set of algorithms that are <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">constexpr</span></code> and a completely duplicate set of algorithms that are <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code>.</p>
<p>This has to be solved at the language level.</p>

<p>As mentioned multiple times, <code class="sourceCode cpp">pred_bad</code> is ill-formed today because it contains a call to an immediate function outside a consteval context and that call isn’t a constant expression. That is one way we achieve the goal of the <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> functions that they are only invoked during compile time. But <code class="sourceCode cpp">pred_good</code> is good because that call only appears in an <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="cf">if</span> <span class="kw">consteval</span></code> branch (i.e. a consteval context), which makes the call safe.</p>
<p>What’s interesting about <code class="sourceCode cpp">pred_good</code> is that while it’s marked <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">constexpr</span></code>, it’s actually <em>only</em> meaningful during compile time (in this case, it’s actually UB at runtime since we just flow off the end of the function). So this isn’t really a great solution either. We need to ensure that <code class="sourceCode cpp">pred_good</code> is only called at compile time.</p>
<p>But we have a way to ensure that: <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code>.</p>
<p>Put differently, <code class="sourceCode cpp">pred_bad</code> is today ill-formed, but only because we need to ensure that it’s not called at runtime. If we could ensure that, then we calling it during compile time is otherwise totally fine. What if the language just did that ensuring for us? If such <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">constexpr</span></code> functions, that are only ill-formed because of calls to <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> functions simply became <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code>, then we gain the ability to use them at compile time without actually losing anything - we couldn’t call them at runtime to begin with.</p>
<h1 data-number="4" style="border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc" id="proposal"><span class="header-section-number">4</span> Proposal<a href="#proposal" class="self-link"></a></h1>
<p>This paper proposes avoiding the <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> coloring problem (or, at least, mitigating its annoyances) by allowing certain existing <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">constexpr</span></code> functions to implicitly become <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> functions when those functions can already only be invoked during compile time anyway.</p>
<p>Specifically, these three rules:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p>If a <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">constexpr</span></code> function contains a call to an immediate function outside of an immediate function context, and that call itself isn’t a constant expression, said <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">constexpr</span></code> function implicitly becomes a <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> function. This is intended to include lambdas, function template specializations, special member functions, and should cover member initializers as well.</p></li>
<li><p>If an <em>expression-id</em> designates a <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> function without it being an immediate call in such a context, it also makes the context implicitly consteval. Such <em>expression-id</em>’s are also allowed in contexts that are manifestly constant evaluated.</p></li>
<li><p>Other manifestly constant evaluated contexts (like <em>constant-expression</em> and the condition of a constexpr if statement) are now considered to be immediate function contexts.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>With these rule changes, no library changes are necessary, and any way we want to write the original call just works:</p>

✅.

</blockquote>
<p>Today, even the call <code class="sourceCode cpp">f<span class="op">(</span><span class="dv">1</span><span class="op">)</span></code> is ill-formed, because naming <code class="sourceCode cpp">g</code> isn’t allowed in that context (it is neither a subexpression of an immediate invocation nor in an immediate function context).</p>
<p>Per the proposal, the initialization of <code class="sourceCode cpp">r</code> becomes valid. <code class="sourceCode cpp">f</code> implicitly becomes a <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code> function template due to use of <code class="sourceCode cpp">g</code>. Because <code class="sourceCode cpp">r</code> is at namespace scope, we tentatively try to perform constant initialization, which makes the initial parse manifestly constant evaluated. In such a context, <code class="sourceCode cpp">f<span class="op">(</span><span class="dv">1</span><span class="op">)</span></code> does not have to be a constant expression, so the fact that we’re returning a pointer to consteval function is okay. The subsequent invocation <code class="sourceCode cpp">g<span class="op">(</span><span class="dv">2</span><span class="op">)</span></code> is fine, and initializes <code class="sourceCode cpp">r</code> to <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="dv">2</span></code>.</p>
<p>But even with this proposal, the initialization of <code class="sourceCode cpp">s</code> is ill-formed. The tentative constant initialization fails (because <code class="sourceCode cpp">r</code> isn’t a constant), and in the subsequent dynamic initialization, <code class="sourceCode cpp">f<span class="op">(</span><span class="dv">1</span><span class="op">)</span></code> is now actually an immediate invocation (<code class="sourceCode cpp">f</code> still becomes implicitly <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="kw">consteval</span></code>, which now must be a constant expression, which now has the rule that its result must be a permitted result, in which context returning a pointer to consteval function is disallowed).</p>
