It is better to include configuration header files of third-party libraries (including SQLite) in the library's configuration header than in the umbrella header.
C++17 still requires a template argument list, only C++20 has full CTAD support.
C++17 has CTAD support.
…C++17 * Made table references available for C++17 in order to facilitate table-valued expressions. * Eponymous virtual tables may have hidden columns, which can be used now. * Eponymous virtual tables with hidden columns can be used like table-valued functions. * Unit tests for `mapped_type_proxy`.
Clang has the annoying habit of warning about future C++ features that it claims to support through a feature macro.

SQLite features Hidden columns in virtual tables, which then can be used as Table-valued functions.
This PR brings:
rank(),match<Table>(),is_equal<Table>(),highlight<Table>()with proper column-oriented logic.matchcan match specific columns as well, not only any column.get_all<>()supports an explicitfromcondition, which is useful when selection from table-valued functions.Examples in sqlite_orm speak are:
dbstat
Aggregated database statistics:
generate series
Generate six random numbers:
Where the equivalent by explicitly using hidden columns is:
fts5
This is of course available for the fts5 module and its hidden
rankcolumn respectively its hidden eponymous column (named after the fts5 table). In C++ it is represented by a placeholder field that I namedany:A slightly alternative syntax to using column pointers is by explicitly mapping hidden fields into the FTS5 table with an alias template:
Note that this approach is simply "syntactic sugar" and up to the programmer to use an alias template. The alias template can have a different name, it can be defined as a nested type name, or it can be defined outside just like a table reference.
For instance (additionally showing that
match()accepts a regular column):
