The query is parsed, type‑checked, and turned into data while the compiler translates the translation unit, so a malformed query produces a compilation error instead of a runtime failure. This idea follows the term‑rewriting view of templates (chapter 16) and the compile‑time execution model (chapter 18).</p><p>The lineage is clear. Deane and Turner demonstrated a constexpr JSON parser that turned a string literal into a <code>constexpr</code> data structure. CTParser and the CTRE library later showed how regular‑expression‑based parsers can live in <code>consteval</code> functions. More recently, mkitzan’s constexpr‑sql project combined those ideas to build a tiny SQL‑like EDSL. The capstone brings those ingredients together in a single, self‑contained example.</p><p>A constexpr EDSL is not a new parser library bolted onto the build. It uses the same term‑rewriting machinery as the template system applied to a string literal. The query becomes compiler data, not a runtime command, so the compiler checks every branch as it evaluates. A compile‑time failure is the cheapest failure because it occurs before the binary exists and names the exact erroneous query text. Consequently, the compiler acts as the test runner and the query literal serves as the fixture, eliminating the need for a separate runtime test harness.</p><p>A compile-time failure is the cheapest kind of failure, because it happens before the binary exists and names the exact query text that is wrong. A runtime test needs a runner, an assertion library, and a suite to maintain. Here the compiler is the runner and the query literal is the fixture.</p><h2 id="the-building-blocks"><a class="header" href="#the-building-blocks">The building blocks</a></h2><p>The capstone re‑uses exactly the mechanisms introduced earlier:</p><ul><li><strong><code>fixed_string</code> NTTP</strong> (chapter 19) carries the query literal as a non‑type template parameter.</li><li><strong><code>consteval</code></strong> (chapter 18) forces the parser to run during translation.</li><li><strong><code>constexpr</code> containers</strong>: <code>std::array</code> and <code>std::vector</code> with transient allocation hold tables and query results entirely at compile time.</li><li><strong><code>if constexpr</code></strong> selects between the supported comparison operators without generating unreachable code.</li></ul><p>No other library is required. The whole program lives in a single source file, and each piece (<code>fixed_string</code>, <code>consteval</code>, and <code>constexpr</code> containers) is a plain, non‑exotic component whose combination yields a real, self‑checking domain language without any runtime component.</p><h2 id="the-schema-as-aggregates"><a class="header" href="#the-schema-as-aggregates">The schema as aggregates</a></h2><p>A table row is a plain aggregate struct, exactly as in chapter 3:</p><pre><code class="language-cpp">struct Row { int id; int value;};</code></pre><p>A table is a <code>constexpr</code> array of those rows:</p><pre><code class="language-cpp">constexpr Row table[] = { {1, 10}, {2, 20}, {3, 30},};</code></pre><p>Column names are represented by <code>fixed_string</code> NTTPs. The parser extracts the name from the query text, stores it in a <code>constexpr</code> structure, and later matches it against the members of <code>Row</code>.</p><p>Keeping the schema as aggregates is deliberate. Because <code>Row</code> is an aggregate and the table is a <code>constexpr</code> array, the compiler can fold the whole table into a constant at translation time, with no allocation, no constructor, and no pointer indirection at runtime. The same reasoning that made <code>std::array</code> the right container in chapter 11 applies here with extra force.</p><p>The aggregate discipline also pays off when the schema grows. Adding a column is a one-line change to <code>Row</code>, and the parser and evaluator read the members by name through <code>fixed_string</code>, so no extra wiring is needed for the new field.</p><h2 id="parsing-the-query-at-compile-time"><a class="header" href="#parsing-the-query-at-compile-time">Parsing the query at compile time</a></h2><p>The parser is a tiny recursive‑descent engine written as a <code>consteval</code> function. It operates on the character buffer of a <code>fixed_string</code> and produces a <code>Query</code> object.</p><pre><code class="language-cpp">template<std::size_t N>struct fixed_string { char data[N + 1]{}; constexpr fixed_string(const char (&s)[N + 1]) { for (std::size_t i = 0; i < N; ++i) data[i] = s[i]; data[N] = '\0'; } constexpr const char* c_str() const { return data; }};

There is no token vector and no abstract syntax tree. Each keyword offset is hard-coded because the grammar fixes the order, so the scanner never needs lookahead. This is the minimum structure that still shows the shape of a real recursive-descent parser.</p><h2 id="producing-the-result-rows"><a class="header" href="#producing-the-result-rows">Producing the result rows</a></h2><p>The evaluator walks the <code>constexpr</code> table, applies the predicate, and writes matching values into a fixed‑size <code>std::array</code>. The size of the array is the maximum possible number of rows. The unused slots remain zero.</p><pre><code class="language-cpp">consteval std::array<int, 3> eval(const Query& q) { std::array<int, 3> out{{0, 0, 0}}; std::size_t idx = 0; for (const Row& r : table) { int lhs = (std::string_view(q.where.c_str()) == "value") ? r.value : 0; bool ok = false; if (q.op == '>') ok = lhs > q.rhs; if (ok) { out[idx++] = (std::string_view(q.select.c_str()) == "id") ? r.id : r.value; } } return out;}</code></pre><p>Returning a fixed-size array is a deliberate simplification. A <code>std::vector</code> is more natural, but a fixed array makes the compile-time result easier to reason about and avoids relying on the details of transient allocation. The WHERE column is looked up by name at compile time with a string comparison against the members.</p><h2 id="the-static_assert-test-suite"><a class="header" href="#the-static_assert-test-suite">The static_assert test suite</a></h2><p>The capstone follows the chapter‑18 convention of using <code>static_assert</code> as the only test harness. The <code>main</code> function prints a short marker so that the CTest <code>PASS_REGULAR_EXPRESSION</code> matches something.</p><pre><code class="language-cpp">int main() { // The query is parsed at compile time; any syntax error aborts compilation. constexpr auto q = parse_query("SELECT id FROM table WHERE value > 15"); static_assert(std::string_view(q.select.c_str()) == "id", "wrong SELECT column"); static_assert(std::string_view(q.where.c_str()) == "value", "wrong WHERE column"); static_assert(q.rhs == 15, "wrong constant"); constexpr auto result = eval(q); static_assert(result[0] == 2, "first matching id"); static_assert(result[1] == 3, "second matching id"); std::cout << "constexpr‑SQL capstone OK" << '\n';}</code></pre><p>If any of the <code>static_assert</code>s fail, compilation stops and the programmer receives the message.

If any assertion fails, the build stops before a single instruction is executed, and the diagnostic names the failed predicate and the offending constant. There is nothing to run, nothing to instrument, and no chance of a false green from a test that forgot to check. This is the chapter-18 convention applied to a whole program.</p><h2 id="where-the-capstone-stops"><a class="header" href="#where-the-capstone-stops">Where the capstone stops</a></h2><p>The implementation deliberately covers a narrow subset of SQL: a single <code>SELECT</code> column, a single table name (hard‑coded), and a single numeric column in the <code>WHERE</code> clause with the <code>></code> operator. Extending the parser to recognise additional comparison operators, logical conjunctions, multiple columns, or joins calls for a larger grammar, more token types, and a recursive-descent engine that can build an abstract syntax tree. The same compile-time techniques, namely <code>consteval</code> functions, <code>if constexpr</code> dispatch, and <code>constexpr</code> containers, apply, but the code size grows quickly.</p><p>None of the omitted features is impossible. Each is simply more code. A <code><=</code> operator is one more branch. String columns need a length-aware comparison. Multiple columns need the parser to build a small list of names. The point of the subset is to show the technique works and to keep the example short enough to read in one pass.</p><h2 id="static-reflection-preview-prose-only"><a class="header" href="#static-reflection-preview-prose-only">Static reflection preview (PROSE ONLY)</a></h2><p>C++26 defines a static‑reflection proposal (P2996) that introduces the <code>^^T</code> operator, <code>std::meta::info</code>, and splicing syntax. In theory those facilities can replace the hand‑written tokenizer with a compile‑time inspection of the query string literal, and they can generate the <code>Query</code> structure automatically.</p><blockquote><p><strong>Not yet deployable.</strong></p></blockquote><p>The feature currently compiles only with GCC 16 (partial support) and is absent from Clang 22.1.8, which the book’s toolchain pins. The capstone therefore implements the parser manually.</p><p>When reflection lands, much of this machinery collapses. A compiler-provided <code>^^T</code> splice can walk the query literal and build the <code>Query</code> directly, and a future library can generate the evaluator from the schema. Until then, the manual parser is the honest, portable baseline that every compiler supports.</p><h2 id="try-this"><a class="header" href="#try-this">Try this</a></h2><p>Extend the parser to support a second comparison operator (<code><</code>). Add a <code>static_assert</code> that a query using <code><</code> selects the correct rows.</p>
