Stabilisation Report
Summary
This PR will stabilise inline_const feature in expression position. inline_const_pat is still unstable and will not be stabilised.
The feature will allow code like this...
What I’m curious about - this function was already const, so for stuff like this, is think there’d basically be a 100% chance the compiler would optimize this too so it implicitly.
AFAIK new feature is just for times when it isn’t an optimization, but more your own domain invariants. E.g. assertions.
But I couldn’t be wrong. I wonder if this can be used for actual optimizations in some places that the compiler couldn’t figure out by itself.
