Hi,

is there an error here?
No error is thrown under the CLANG compiler; if the MSVS15x64 compiler is used, several errors are thrown.

Upp Version: 15947
Package Core
File "Fn.h"

template <class T, class K, typename... L>
constexpr int findarg(const T& sel, const K& k, const L& ...args)
{
	if(sel == k)
		return 0;
	int q = findarg(sel, args...);
	 return q >= 0 ? q + 1 : -1;
}

threw the following error:
...Fn.h (58): error C3256: "q": Variablenverwendung ergibt keinen konstanten Ausdruck
...Fn.h (53): error C3259: "constexpr"-Funktionen können nur eine return-Anweisung aufweisen.
...Fn.h (57): error C3250: "q": Deklaration ist im "constexpr"-Funktionstext nicht zulässig

But if the function is changed as follows:

template <class T, class K, typename... L>
constexpr int findarg(const T& sel, const K& k, const L& ...args)
{
	return (sel == k) ? 0 : findarg(sel, args...) >= 0 ? findarg(sel, args...) + 1 : -1;
}

-> no error is displayed when compiling.

In your fix you are using C++11. It supports very limited syntax with constexpr, basically, only what fits into a return statement.
Current code in U++ is using C++14, which allows to use almost all C++ statements with constexpr.
