There are many threads on this topic over the years about this, I know. But I really do not want it to dead-end.
In the most recent thread that I can find: JohnS says that there is a lack of demand and mentions a challenge with byte addressing. Two questions regarding this:
- How do you assess this demand? How can I help increase it?
- Is there a possibility of implementing a Cpp standard that is not fully complaint to workaround the byte addressing stuff ? Specifically implementing some of the syntax and container improvements that have arisen in the past nearly two decades. Things such as array initialization in constructors, lambda functions, <array>, in-class initializations, etc are hard to forget. Nullptr is almost a requirement at large scales.
