I bet you now you'll be using "const" everywhere (if you aren't already).

[u/Vermeille]

void foo(const uint32_t);

What's the point of the const here?

I saw this the other day, and was really impressed! I've been trying to do similar stuff before and always ran into problems with getting the compiler to do all these sorts of precomputed calculations, and it would always try to do them during runtime. Didn't know of constexpr though. Although I wonder how good it would be at doing stuff like running loops to calculate constants. Why is this so hard for the compiler to do?

And does anyone know if there are nice ways to do similar stuff in C? I prefer C++, but it's not always that I have that choice.
