Hi,
I was wondering why CTFE is context sensitive, why don't we
check
every expressions and run the CTFE if it applies?
Speed?
Hmm, I knew I shouldn't have duplicated this post!
The speed is certainly a factor but an option could have been
added to the compiler to enable context-sensitivity in case we'd
like the compiler to be faster (or at least, an option to enable
context-insensivity). So it doesn't sound to me to be the only
reason.
