/constexpr (Control constexpr evaluation)
Use the /constexpr compiler options to control parameters for constexpr evaluation at compile time.
Syntax
/constexpr:depthN
/constexpr:backtraceN
/constexpr:stepsN
Arguments
depthN
Limit the depth of recursive constexpr function invocation to N levels. The default is 512.
backtraceN
Show up to N constexpr evaluations in diagnostics. The default is 10.
stepsN
Terminate constexpr evaluation after N steps. The default is 100,000.
Remarks
The /constexpr compiler options control compile-time evaluation of constexpr expressions. Evaluation steps, recursion levels, and backtrace depth are controlled to prevent the compiler from spending too much time on constexpr evaluation. For more information on the constexpr language element, see constexpr (C++).
The /constexpr options are available beginning in Visual Studio 2015.
