So? People have been asking for it for at least *13+ years* (this report was opened in August 2002). Compared to clang which has had this feature for some years already, gcc is lagging. I'm also not sure how to react to "less than a week ago". The *wording* was approved last week. The *feature* was approved (by EWG¹, which is the approval that matters most for something like this) at Kona, a few months back. If you're claiming you can't implement without wording, that's one thing. If you didn't see it coming, then you didn't do your homework. (¹ ...about as strongly as you ever see out of EWG, at that: SF=15, F=5, N=0, A=0, SA=0) > It will get implemented. I do hope so, but given that a) it hasn't been implemented in over a decade of people asking for it, and b) isn't actually required for conformance, I'm not holding my breath.
