Summary
This episode addresses common misconceptions about constexpr, explaining that its value extends beyond solving entire problems at compile time. Jason demonstrates how constexpr enables partial compile-time evaluation, where known parts of a problem can be solved during compilation while leaving runtime-dependent parts for execution. Through a number comparison parser example, he shows how constexpr can provide significant optimization opportunities even when only portions of the computation can be determined at compile time.
