+The `constinit` specifier requires that a variable must be initialized at compile-time.
+```c++
+const char* g() { return "dynamic initialization"; }
+constexpr const char* f(bool p) { return p ? "constant initializer" : g(); }
+
+constinit const char* c = f(true); // OK
+constinit const char* d = f(false); // ERROR: `g` is not constexpr, so `d` cannot be evaluated at compile-time.
