This particular feature impacts only compiler writers, unless you choose to use it. You can write C++ till the end of time and never use std::is_within_lifetime and it will have zero impact on you or your code. If it gets used in stdlib, there's presumably a reason, and if there isn't, then that's worth criticizing. But adding the feature has no impact on 99% or more of all developers.
- chongli 8mo agoThat’s assuming a developer owns all the codebases they work on. Many don’t, because they work for an employer with a large team and a large existing codebase. If the language evolves and the project manager is 100% keen on adopting new features then it’s going to affect everyone on the team.
