I have a 3D vector template class and I want to add a normalize member function to it.
Normalizing a vector only makes sense, if they use floating point numbers.
I want to use the c++20 requires
syntax with the std::floating_point
concept.
template<typename Type>
class vector3 {
[...]
vector3& normalize() requires std::floating_point<Type> noexcept;
}
But the compiler (gcc 11.2.0) gives me an error
error: expected ';' at end of member declaration
242 | vector3& normalize() requires (std::floating_point<Type>) noexcept;
| ^
| ;
noexcept
is part of declarator
, and requires-clause
must come after declarator
(dcl.decl)
so you need to write
// from @Osyotr in comment
vector3 & normalize() noexcept requires std::is_floating_point_v<Type>;
