Three of those plugins are already available in bitbucket. Maybe we should move them to the official plugins page. The fourth plugin is under development but I asked for volunteers to test it in ths C++' std-proposals forum, since it enhances the semantic of constexpr in order to allocate memory during constexpr construction and therefore having associative containers in ROM, so this is a special case where the main intent is a proof of concept for a C++ proposal. > > Jason > > -- Daniel F.
