    • C++20 CTAD @ Qt

    Description

      C++20 added support for CTAD (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/class_template_argument_deduction) for

      1. aggregates (__cpp_deduction_guides >= 201907L)
      2. aliases (__cpp_deduction_guides >= 201907L)

      The first is not really interesting, because we can emulate it using user-defined deduction guides, and we'd get the same result in C++17 and C++20. Once we can depend on C++20, I expect more classes to become simple structs as a result of this change, designated initializers (QTBUG-104153) and __cpp_aggregate_paren_init (QTBUG-104154).

      The second is interesting for our users, but doesn't affect our APIs.
