是否有可以无限期编译的 C++ 代码？

Question

我经常听说"C++ sources take a lot of time and memory to compile"。

我还听说 C++ 模板是图灵完备的，所以它可能会遇到 Halting problem。

我还构建了一个 C++ 项目，它需要 8 GiB 的内存和 2 小时的时间。

所以，问题是：是否有无限期编译的 C++ 代码？

（嵌套包含或嵌套模板是可检测的，因此不应计入。）

相关问题：Is there a C++ code that compiles with infinite memory?（我将它们分开，因为我希望得到不同的答案。）

Answer 1

理论上这会编译 'infinite' 时间，因为模板扩展是无限递归的：

template <size_t N>
struct eat
{
    static constexpr size_t value = eat<N+1>::value;
};

然而，我使用过的所有编译器都可以抵御这种代码，并发出类似这样的错误：

/Users/richardh/Documents/dev/Scratchpad/tryit/tryit/words.cpp:136:37: fatal error: recursive template instantiation exceeded maximum depth of 256
    static constexpr size_t value = eat<N+1>::value;
                                    ^
/Users/richardh/Documents/dev/Scratchpad/tryit/tryit/words.cpp:136:37: note: in instantiation of template class 'eat<257>' requested here
    static constexpr size_t value = eat<N+1>::value;
                                    ^
/Users/richardh/Documents/dev/Scratchpad/tryit/tryit/words.cpp:136:37: note: in instantiation of template class 'eat<256>' requested here
    static constexpr size_t value = eat<N+1>::value;
                                    ^
/Users/richardh/Documents/dev/Scratchpad/tryit/tryit/words.cpp:136:37: note: in instantiation of template class 'eat<255>' requested here
    static constexpr size_t value = eat<N+1>::value;
                                    ^
/Users/richardh/Documents/dev/Scratchpad/tryit/tryit/words.cpp:136:37: note: in instantiation of template class 'eat<254>' requested here
    static constexpr size_t value = eat<N+1>::value;

...等等

编辑：好吧，我觉得这个真的是无限的：

template <class T>
struct eat2
{
    using inner = eat2<eat2<T>>;
    static constexpr int value() {
        return inner::value();
    }
};

int main()
{
    eat2<int> e;
    cout << e.value() << endl;
    return 0;
}
