constexpr Initializer list of string views












1















I'm trying to make a constexpr initializer list of some string constants. I think this should be possible in C++17, but I can't get it to compile in MSVC.



#include <string_view>

using namespace std::literals::string_view_literals;

const constexpr std::initializer_list<std::string_view> some_strings{
"asdf"sv
};


This gives the following error message:



error C2131: expression did not evaluate to a constant
note: failure was caused by non-constant arguments or reference to a non-constant symbol
note: see usage of '$S1'


I can't figure out which part would be non-constexpr:




  • std::string_view's operator"" is constexpr

  • std::initializer_list's constructor is constexpr as well


Any ideas? Is this possibly just a bug in visual studio? What is '$S1' referenced in the error message?



EDIT: Visual Studio 15.8.9

It seems like a bug on older versions: https://godbolt.org/z/YICeqi



I just tried your code on v15.9.2 and it works fine.
