为什么这段使用 __LINE__ 的代码在 MSVC 下以 Release 模式编译,而不是在 Debug 模式下编译?

Why does this code using __LINE__ compile under MSVC in Release mode, but not in Debug mode?

考虑这个程序:

#include <iostream>

template<bool Debug = false, int Line = __LINE__>
constexpr int adds(const int& a, const int& b) { 
    if (Debug)
        std::cout << __FUNCTION__ << " called on line " << Line << '\n';
    return (a + b);
}

int main() {
    std::cout << adds(3, 7) << '\n';
    std::cout << adds<true, __LINE__> (5, 9) << '\n';
    return 0;
}

当我尝试在 Debug 模式下编译和构建它时 Visual Studio 2017 生成了这些编译器错误:

1>------ Build started: Project: Simulator, Configuration: Debug x64 ------
1>main2.cpp
1>c:\***\main2.cpp(12): error C2672: 'adds': no matching overloaded function found
1>c:\***\main2.cpp(12): error C2975: 'Line': invalid template argument for 'adds', expected compile-time constant expression
1>c:\***\main2.cpp(3): note: see declaration of 'Line'
1>Done building project "Simulator.vcxproj" -- FAILED.
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

但是,当我在 Release 模式下尝试此操作时:它会编译、构建、运行并生成适当的输出:

10
adds called on line 12
14

这是一个潜在的 Visual Studio 2017 错误吗?如果不是,为什么它在一种模式下工作而不在另一种模式下工作?

这是调试和发布模式的命令行标志的副本:

好像有人报道过:__LINE__ cannot be used as an argument for constexpr functions.

We have a known bug for this issue on the C++ team here.
[...]
We have determined that this issue is not a bug. Please refer to comments of Jonathan.

乔纳森说:

This is a side-effect of the compilers support for Edit-and-Continue (basically we don't want a change to the value of __LINE__ to be considered a 'rude' edit that suppresses Edit-and-Continue): if you compiler with /Zi instead of /ZI then the code should compile (but the executable won't support Edit-and-Continue).
[...]
The bug is considered a feature ...

来自 MSVC docs:

The /ZI option is similar to /Zi, but it produces a PDB file in a format that supports the Edit and Continue feature. [...] The /ZI option is also incompatible with use of the __LINE__ predefined macro; code compiled with /ZI can't use __LINE__ as a non-type template argument, although __LINE__ can be used in macro expansions.


However, when I try this under Release mode: It compiles, builds, runs, and produces the appropriate output:

我猜这是因为 /ZI/Zi 标志的不同。您的发布模式标志具有 /Zi,因此可以正常编译。
