# PETSC_CONSTEXPR_14
C++14 constexpr No Fortran Support




## Notes
Equivalent to `constexpr` when using a C++ compiler that supports C++14. Expands to nothing
if the C++ compiler does not support C++14 or when not compiling with a C++ compiler. Note
that this cannot be used in cases where an empty expansion would result in invalid code. It
is safe to use this in C source files.


## Example Usage
```none
  PETSC_CONSTEXPR_14 int factorial(int n)
  {
    int r = 1;

    do {
      r *= n;
    } while (--n);
    return r;
  }
```
