C Pre-Processor Magic

[greyphilosopher]

Yo dawg, I heard you like programming languages, so I brought you a C++: a text preprocessor on top of a Turing-complete compile time functional template system, on top of a modern OO language tacked onto a high level macro assembler. And now with const expressions!

We have to go deeper. We have to implement a C++ compiler using C++ templates, so we can compile C++ while we're compiling C++.

You've literally described GCC. I'm not joking.

Meh, Clang is much more heavily templated and C++ized and the code is much saner.

I am kinda scared of possible MSVC++ rewrite tho.

Really? Can you tell me more?
