Welcome to the cppfront wiki!

This wiki collects some Cpp2 language design notes, and links to related projects.

Design notes

These Cpp2/cppfront design notes cover things like rationale for a given design choice, and alternatives considered. They are not intended to be exhaustive, but to give a basic answer to why something is the way it is, always subject to "this is an experiment! we'll learn."

  • Design note: UFCS Why does UFCS use fallback semantics (prefer a member function)? Doesn't that mean that adding a member function later could silently change behavior of existing call sites?

Related projects

Here are some projects related to cppfront. Note that these are created and maintained by other people, and I generally don't know much about them. If you think I'm linking to one that shouldn't be linked to, please open an issue and explain why; thanks!

  • JEGPCpp2: A CMake module to build Cpp2 source files.
