Abstract Currently, [[dcl.fct.def.default]/2.5](https://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.fct.def.default#2.5) permits an explicitly defaulted special member function to differ from the implicit one by adding *ref-qualifiers*, but not *cv-qualifiers*.

Abstract In broad terms a regular (i.e. synchronous) function call has access to two forms of storage throughout its lifetime (note that the “lifetime” of a regular function call is the time between the call thereto and the return therefrom):

Abstract [CWG 3003](https://cplusplus.github.io/CWG/issues/3003.html) "Naming a deducible template for class template argument deduction" has been raised to clarify that with the current core language wording, class template argument deduction does not work for type template template parameters.

Abstract Building on motivation from EWG Kona 2025, this paper proposes a minimal pure extension to the C++26 Contracts facility. This extension addresses the Romanian National Body's (NB) concern by enabling the writing of an individual contract assertion that guarantees the program execution will not continue past the contract assertion if it is violated, regardless of the semantics of other contract ass

Abstract The standard specifies the effect of `co_return` statements in terms of equivalent statements within the context of a *replacement body* (§9.6.4 [dcl.fct.def.coroutine]). Like a regular `return` statement `co_return` statements have two distinct forms: Those that return `void` and those that return some value. These are specified as follows (§8.8.5 [stmt.return.coroutine]):

Abstract The `std::format` approach to formatting offers many significant benefits over the prior `<iostream>`s approach that need not be revisited here. However, `<iostream>` does still have one significant advantage: ordering. It is easy to see at a glance with a long `std::cout` statement which pieces are to be formatted in which order. With `std::format`, as the amount of replacement fields increases,

Abstract WG21 is often asked for a way to reliably answer the question, “does this raw pointer point inside this buffer?” See [Core 2025] for some use cases. Such an `is_pointer_in_range` function is appropriate to standardize because:

Abstract [P2918] introduced `std::runtime_format` to allow opting out of compile-time format string checks in `std::format`. Subsequently, [P3391] made `std::format` usable in constant evaluation. As a result, `std::runtime_format` can now be evaluated at compile time, making its name misleading. This paper proposes renaming `std::runtime_format` to `std::dynamic_format` to better reflect its semantics and

Abstract The fundamental scope algorithm is `within`. It establishes a scope by running an enter scope sender. Thereafter it allows a child operation to run (in that scope since the exit scope sender has not yet run), and then before completing the overall operation runs the exit scope sender yielded by the enter scope sender.
P3959R0 Let layout_stride::mapping with zero extent(s) accept zero strides M. Hoemmen, J. Faibussowitsch, C. Trott
Intent Proposal
Mailing Date 2026-01 Unassigned
Target Audience LEWG
Tracking issue View on GitHub
Abstract We propose to change `layout_stride::mapping`’s constructors to permit strides to be zero if one or more extents are zero. For example, for extents (3, 5, 0, 11), this change would permit any nonnegative strides. Currently, users would need to set the stride(s) corresponding to zero extents to an arbitrary positive value, such as 1. That would make the strides (1, 3, 1, 105) in this example.

Abstract Given an object `src` of trivially-copyable type `T`, we can copy the object’s value representation to an array of bytes, and implicitly create a new `T` object (e.g., with `start_lifetime_as`) in the array of bytes. The result will hold the same value as `src`.
P3961R0 Less double indirection in function_ref (RU-220) Z. Yuan

Abstract RU-220 calls for allowing skipping indirections when constructing `function_ref` to improve codegen. The proposed change in LWG 4264<sup>[1]</sup> is not strictly an optimization because certain behaviors with and without the change are visible, therefore, need to be made unspecified. This paper (P3961) suggests that, in addition to the change, a subset of the "optimized" cases should be mandated.

Abstract As a committee, we have a shared goal: maintaining a standard that delivers real value to users while remaining implementable, performant, and portable. Our intention is to start a series of conversations about constructive steps we can take as a group toward narrowing the gap between standardization and implementation. We would like to see discussion about improving early communication, making co
