← Back to context Comment by KingMob 1 day ago This is true, but thunks carry overhead that macros don't in this case. 2 comments KingMob Reply gf000 1 day ago Well, if we have a compiler that sees a constant value, it can completely optimize out one branch. But it of course depends on the semantics of the language.But yeah you are right in case of a naive compiler.
