Although this permits additional diagnostics and optimizations which might be of some value, it is not consistent with long-standing usage, especially for a range of concurrent and sequential algorithms that rely on loads, stores, equality comparisons, and even dereferencing

This is a software-engineering nightmare because all operations on invalid pointers are implementation-defined, even loads and stores. This means that concurrent algorithms such as LIFO Push that knowingly use invalid pointers must have (for example) converted such pointe

	P4313R0	Bitmask operations for enums	Iliya Guterman I. Guterman , Anthony Williams A. Williams	LEWG	2026-07
Mailing Date 2026-07 Post-Brno Author(s) Iliya Guterman, Anthony Williams Target Audience LEWG Revisions R1 Tracking issue View on GitHub Abstract As a developer coming from languages other than C++, I grew accustomed to using enums to represent flags. However, such behavior is noticeably absent from the C++ language.
