Index arrays with ordinals instead of integers with custom literals (programming.dev)

submitted 10 months ago by Serpent7776 to c/cpp

I did a code that uses custom literals to allow indexing arrays with ordinals (1st, 2nd, 3rd), all at compile time. Additionally _st works only with 1, _nd only with 2, _rd only with 3. Zero and negative numbers are also not supported and fail compilation.

It should be easy to edit the existing code to add support for i18n, but there's probably no way to make in generic (except for macros).

Sounds like a plan for a funsies long weekend, might send a PR if I advance with it enough.
