This change will allow using more primitive types with the macro by casting 0 to the provided type.
Types that can be casted from a zero include but are not limited to; All numeric types,
char
,*const T
(raw pointer).Meaning special casing for
f32
,f64
andchar
can be removed. Which were added after issue #2.I have tested compile times in a small application, but noticed very little, to no difference.
One more very small thing this helps in is syntax highlighting in editors, since the macro takes a type rather than a literal type name it displays the correct color for it. See screenshots from the testing file below.
