However, this is limited in the way that the type cannot be based on a literal outside a struct/class. There also is a macro that can be employed to create such types, e.g:
SQLPP_ALIAS_PROVIDER(hello);
static_assert( std::is_same<hello_t::_alias_t, sqlpp::char_sequence<'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '\000'>>::value, "");
The MACRO cannot be called in a function, though, since local classes must not have static members.
Following code works OK: int main() { struct specific_compiletime_string { static constexpr const char *value() { return "abc"; } }; static_assert(specific_compiletime_string::value()[0] == 'a', ""); // passes! } And you can get char sequence in following way: https://github.com/panaseleus/ctte/blob/master/proof_of_concept/proof_of_con...
Thus, while I assume that it is faster than what happens inside the MPLLIBS_STRING (haven't measured it), its use is more limited, too.
As I understand, complexity of MPLLIBS_STRING comes from fact that it can be passed immediately as template argument. -- Evgeny Panasyuk
