I would like to boldly suggest implementing P0847 should be targeted at
GCC14. In my anecdotal experiences, this feature is very important to
people, and very important to myself, I believe it should be a priority.
I am not suggesting this without offering to contribute, however
because of my inexperience with compiler hacking I am concerned I would
hinder efforts. With that said, if no one is interested in starting
work on it, but there is consensus that the feature is important
enough, then I will do my best to take up that job.
If this was already the understood plan for GCC14, I apologize for my
ignorance on the matter. I searched around and couldn't find any
information regarding it, the mail list didn't seem to have any results
either. If it's there and I missed it, please do point it out. I am
also wondering if there is a public document with information about the
feature roadmap? I can understand why there isn't one if that isn't the
case, I imagine it would just cause a nuisance for the developers. I
had read the GCC Development Plan document a few months ago and given
the information in it I decided to wait for development to move on to
GCC14 before getting in touch. In hindsight that might have been a
mistake, oops!
I apologize if I overlooked something obvious, please don't hesitate to
correct any misconceptions I'm having here as it's not my intention to
step on any toes here, I just really really value this feature and want
to see it sooner rather than later.
I look forward to hearing everyone's input,
-Alex
