unterumarmung / fixed_string

Just trying this with gcc 14, any use of the fixed_string "alias" type fails to compile with -std=c++23:

#include <fixed_string.hpp>

template<fixstr::fixed_string>
struct stringy_type { };

using foo = stringy_type<"hello">;

$ g++-14 -I include -std=c++23 -c test.cpp
test.cpp:6:33: error: class template argument deduction failed:
    6 | using foo = stringy_type<"hello">;
      |                                 ^
test.cpp:6:33: error: call of overloaded ‘fixed_string(const char [6])’ is ambiguous

Oh I'm sorry for the long response. I've not seen the notification from GitHub.

To be honest, I've never tested this library with newer compilers. I wrote it when C++20 wasn't very well supported and that's why there are some workarounds...

I'm not sure when I'll be able to test the issue and come up with a solution, but if you have one, I'll be glad to review it and merge.

Line 520 in 8a46a22

    
           // Early GCC versions that support cNTTP were not able to deduce size_t parameter

I guess these lines should be rewritten to type aliases and the support for the old GCC versions to be dropped
