@jwakely, @jensmaurer: I'm sympathetic to improving this, but can we do better than just deleting "compile-time"? Can we maybe say something along the lines of something being constant-evaluated? |
|
@tkoeppe, these are typedefs. There is no evaluation going on at all, not even constant evaluation. We should just merge this. |

Suggest to improve commit descriptions to say "... for typedefs" |
|
OK, makes sense. @Eisenwave Could you please update the commit messages? Also please just say "remove" instead of the overly lyrical "eliminate". |

I'm on vacation. If it's not urgent, I can do it in two weeks when I'm back. |

Related to #5641.
In short, the C++ standard doesn't have a clearly-defined notion of "compile-time" or "run-time".
Instead of specifying that these type aliases have "compile-time complexity" (whatever that's supposed to mean) we can just leave the cell empty. No evaluation takes place here, so it's meaningless to talk about complexity.
