using for Enumeration Values

??对比一下C++20前后的区别：

enum class State {
    open,
    progress,
    done = 9
};
// Before C++20
void print(State s) {
    switch (s) {
        case State::open:
            std::cout << "open\n";
            break;
        case State::done:
            std::cout << "done\n";
            break;
        case State::progress:
            std::cout << "progress\n";
            break;
        default:
            assert(nullptr);
    }
}

// Since C++20
void print1(State s) {
    using enum State;
    switch (s) {
        case open:
            std::cout << "open\n";
            break;
        case done:
            std::cout << "done\n";
            break;
        case progress:
            std::cout << "progress\n";
            break;
        default:
            assert(nullptr);
    }
}
void print2(State s) {
    using State::open, State::done, State::progress;
    switch (s) {
        case open:
            std::cout << "open\n";
            break;
        case done:
            std::cout << "done\n";
            break;
        case progress:
            std::cout << "progress\n";
            break;
        default:
            assert(nullptr);
    }
}

Range-Based for Loop with Initialization

??基于范围的for循环是C++11引入的新特性，自C++20起，基于范围循环也可以进行初始化。

int main() {
    std::vector v{1, 2, 3};
    for (int i{1}; const auto& item : v)
        std::cout << std::format("{}: {}\n", i++, item);
}

Feature Test Macros

??特性测试宏，正如其名，是为了当前版本编译器是否支持某个语言特性。这个宏以__cpp为前缀。

#if __cpp_generic_lambdas >= 201707
    // generic lambdas with template parameters can be used
#endif
#ifndef __cpp_lib_as_const
template <typename T>
const T& as_const(T& t) {
    return t;
}
#endif

Attribute [[no_unique_address]]

#include <iostream>
struct Empty {};
struct I {
    int i;
};
struct S {
    Empty e;
    int i;
};
int main() {
    std::cout << "sizeof(Empty): " << sizeof(Empty) << '\n';
    std::cout << "sizeof(I): " << sizeof(I) << '\n';
    std::cout << "sizeof(S): " << sizeof(S) << '\n';
}

空类为了区分不同对象的地址，字节大小是1；而结构体S由于内存对齐的原因，所以字节大小是8。输出结果毫无疑问是1，4，8。

#include <iostream>
struct Empty {};
// EBCO
struct S : Empty {
    int i;
};
// no_unique_address
struct S2 {
    [[no_unique_address]] Empty e;
    int i;
};
int main() {
    std::cout << "sizeof(Empty): " << sizeof(Empty) << '\n';
    std::cout << "sizeof(S): " << sizeof(S) << '\n';
    std::cout << "sizeof(S2): " << sizeof(S2) << '\n';
}

注解标签no_unique_address能起到和空基类优化相同的效果。

Attributes [[likely]] and [[unlikely]]

??在if/else，switch分支当中都可以使用，帮助编译器作分支预测的优化。

int f(int n) {
    if (n <= 0) [[unlikely]] {
        return n;
    } else {
        return n * n;
    }
}
int g(int n) {
    if (n <= 0) {
        return n;
    } else [[likely]] {
        return n * n;
    }
}
int h(int n) {
    switch (n) {
        case 1:
            //
            break;
        [[likely]] case 2:
            // 
            break;
    }
    return 0;
}

Attribute [[nodiscard]] with Parameter

??nodiscard用于修饰函数，当被修饰的函数发生调用（仅仅调用而不作赋值或者强制转换操作），编译器会报警告信息。

[[nodiscard]]
int f(int n) {
    return n;
}
int main() {
    f(1); // Warning
    int n = f(1); // OK
    reinterpret_cast<int *>(f(1)); // OK
}

New Character Type char8_t

    using namespace std::literals;
    auto c = u8'c'; // char8_t
    auto s = u8"Hello World"; // const char8_t *
    auto str1 = u8"Hello World"s; // std::u8string
    auto str2 = u8"Hello World"sv; // std::u8string_view
    std::cout << u8'c' << '\n'; // OK in C++17, error in C++20
    std::cout << u8"Hello World\n"; // OK in C++17, error in C++20
    std::cout << u8"Hello World\n"s; // OK in C++17, error in C++20
    std::cout << u8"Hello World\n"sv; // OK in C++17, error in C++20
    std::cout << c << '\n'; // OK in C++17, error in C++20
    std::cout << s << '\n'; // OK in C++ 17, error in C++20
    std::cout << str1 << '\n'; // OK in C++17, error in C++20
    std::cout << str2 << '\n'; // OK in C++17, error in C++20
