1. Introduction

In 2025-05, the C++ Library Evolution group conducted a series of electronic decision polls [P3712R0]. This paper provides the results of those polls and summarizes the results.

In total, 23 people participated in the polls. Thank you to everyone who participated, and to the papers' authors for all their hard work!

2. Poll Outcomes

Poll SF WF N WA SA Outcome
Poll 1: Send "[P3391R0] constexpr std::format" to Library Working Group for C++29. 15 5 2 0 0 Strong consensus in favor

All the polls have consensus in favor and will be forwarded to LWG for C++29.

3. Selected Poll Comments

For some of the comments, small parts were removed to anonymize.

3.1. Poll 1: Send "[P3391R0] constexpr std::format" to Library Working Group for C++29.

This will help with improving error messages.

— Strongly Favor

This, along,with P2758, seem like critical pieces of the vision we are being sold for reflection.

— Weakly Favor

I would be in favour of a solution that would support all types.

— Neutral
