Doc Date 2026-09-17 Mailing Date 2026-09 Unassigned Author(s) Arthur O'Dwyer, Matthew Taylor Target Audience CWG Tracking issue View on GitHub Abstract Current C++ forbids explicitly defaulted functions to have placeholder return types such as `auto&`, except for C++20’s `operator<=>`. We remove this syntactic restriction in cases where the deduced return type would be the same as the expected one. This allows more consistency and less repetition when declaring defaulted functions.
