Bug ID: 83936 Summary: [feature request] Allow constexpr char* as target argument Product: gcc Version: 7.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: roland at rschulz dot eu Target Milestone: --- It would be very useful to be able to specify a "constexpr const char*const" string as an argument to the target attribute. This would allow to specify the target argument for templates where the target should depend on some template argument. Example: struct AVX { static constexpr const char*const target = "avx"; }; template<class T> [[gnu::target(T::target)]] void test() {} void f() { test<AVX>(); }
