Which is one instruction too much for tail-call optimisation, e.g. But the point was about std::string_view binary compatibility. As basically a C struct with no ownership semantics, it would be a perfect vehicle to pass strings around different programming languages and compilers, but only if the ABI (ie. the data members) were specified. -- Marc Mutz <marc.m...@kdab.com> | Senior Software Engineer KDAB (Deutschland) GmbH & Co.KG, a KDAB Group Company Tel: +49-30-521325470 KDAB - The Qt Experts _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
