[BUG] Expansion of string literal with interpolation results in invalid std::format_string arg

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, C++23 `std::print` takes a `std::basic_format_string` which only has a `consteval` constructor in C++23. So my understanding is that as of C++23 `std::print` is designed to...

[BUG] Error when i try to build cppfront

Right, when I build with MSVC with some options I need to specify `/bigobj`. Googling for "mingw /bigobj" led me to [this StackOverflow question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16596876/gcc-equivalent-o-mss-bigobj) where the chosen answer was as...

[SUGGESTION] Implement local functions (as CPP1 lambda-s)

Thanks! Very good thoughtful notes here. Very brief ack: - I think there's evidence local functions are useful, for example to organize common logic used inside the same function that's...

[SUGGESTION] Implement local functions (as CPP1 lambda-s)

Quick answer: I think function bodies should stay order-dependent. The main benefits of order-independence is so that decoupled entities (possibly with different authors/maintainers) can be written more conveniently. A function...

fix(cpp1): ensure member-as-base matches source

Hi! Sorry it took me so long to get to this one... this one looks like it might be out of date, should I close it for now and you...

test: avoid unnamed parameter in function type template argument

Thanks! There are merge conflicts so I won't try to merge this for 0.8. As described in #1322, that means I need a new one-time CLA that will cover all...

User-defined metafunctions based on dynamic library loading

Thanks! As mentioned in #1287, I'm very interested in this kind of thing, but won't have the bandwidth to look at it for a while. So for now I'll close...

fix(to_cpp1): support initializing assignment from expression list in `operator=`

Hi! Sorry it took me so long to get to this one... but this is really tactical and looks like it might still be current, modulo the conflict. Is this...

[SUGGESTION] Add the equivalent of C++23 "deducing this"

What we did for `"\x{62}"` literals was to enable authoring them in Cpp2, but they would only work if your Cpp1 compiler supported them. If we keep doing this there'll...

[SUGGESTION] Add the equivalent of C++23 "deducing this"

Thanks for the suggestions! For a `this` parameter, Cpp2 currently disallows exactly (a) `forward` and (b) an explicit type... and yes, it sure does seem like that may be exactly...
