std::is_constant_evaluated - cppreference.com

constexpr bool is_constant_evaluated() noexcept;

Detects whether the function call occurs within a constant-evaluated context. Returns true if the evaluation of the call occurs within the evaluation of an expression or conversion that is manifestly constant-evaluated; otherwise returns false.

To determine whether initializers of following variables are manifestly constant-evaluated, compilers may first perform a trial constant evaluation:

• variables with reference type or const-qualified integral or enumeration type;
• static and thread local variables.

It is not recommended to depend on the result in this case.

int y = 0;
const int a = std::is_constant_evaluated() ? y : 1;
// Trial constant evaluation fails. The constant evaluation is discarded.
// Variable a is dynamically initialized with 1
 
const int b = std::is_constant_evaluated() ? 2 : y;
// Constant evaluation with std::is_constant_evaluated() == true succeeds.
// Variable b is statically initialized with 2

(none)

true if the evaluation of the call occurs within the evaluation of an expression or conversion that is manifestly constant-evaluated; otherwise false.

// This implementation requires C++23 if consteval.
constexpr bool is_constant_evaluated() noexcept
{
    if consteval
    {
        return true;
    }
    else 
    {
        return false;
    }
}

When directly used as the condition of static_assert declaration or constexpr if statement, std::is_constant_evaluated() always returns true.

Because if consteval is absent in C++20, std::is_constant_evaluated is typically implemented using a compiler extension.

#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
 
constexpr double power(double b, int x)
{
    if (std::is_constant_evaluated() && !(b == 0.0 && x < 0))
    {
        // A constant-evaluation context: Use a constexpr-friendly algorithm.
        if (x == 0)
            return 1.0;
        double r {1.0};
        double p {x > 0 ? b : 1.0 / b};
        for (auto u = unsigned(x > 0 ? x : -x); u != 0; u /= 2)
        {
            if (u & 1)
                r *= p;
            p *= p;
        }
        return r;
    }
    else
    {
        // Let the code generator figure it out.
        return std::pow(b, double(x));
    }
}
 
int main()
{
    // A constant-expression context
    constexpr double kilo = power(10.0, 3);
    int n = 3;
    // Not a constant expression, because n cannot be converted to an rvalue
    // in a constant-expression context
    // Equivalent to std::pow(10.0, double(n))
    double mucho = power(10.0, n);
 
    std::cout << kilo << " " << mucho << "\n"; // (3)
}
