=== Exceptions

In {cpp}11, the rule ignores ternary operators inside `constexpr` functions.

Indeed, in {cpp}11, such functions are limited to just a return statement, so using a ternary operator might be required. Later standards lifted this restriction, so this exception does not apply to them.

[source,cpp]
----
constexpr int max(int p1, int p2, int p3) {
  return p1 > p2 ? (p1 > p3 ? p1 : p3) : (p2 > p3 ? p2 : p3); // Compliant by exception in C++11
}
