Exception free error handling
Some environments don't have luxury of exception so having exception free code paths would be great
What do you think this would look like, ideally?
Would you use a lot of std::variant return types? Or std::expected?
I actually like std::expected but its C++23 which is really std:: variant underneath.
Maybe we can fallback to https://github.com/TartanLlama/expected
Yeah, std::expected would be ideal.
hffix currently has two properties which I like to preserve, if possible:
- C++ language requires only C++98.
- No dependencies except the standard library.
But maybe it's time to start relaxing these requirements.
May I ask, what is your build environment? You have C++23 but you don't have exceptions?
we can keep both of the requirements by bundling the above library in the source code. it's header only so i don't expect any issues.
I have C++20 with exception disabled because of hard latency requirements.
