I've found the recent typescript 3x3 magic square checker entertaining. Anyway here is a arbitrary magic square checker using c++ type traits.

#include <type_traits>

// from https://stackoverflow.com/a/8625010/12469275
// cmath's sqrt is constexpr from c++26
constexpr std::size_t isqrt_impl
	(std::size_t sq, std::size_t dlt, std::size_t value){
	return sq <= value ?
		isqrt_impl(sq+dlt, dlt+2, value) : (dlt >> 1) - 1;
}

constexpr std::size_t isqrt(std::size_t value){
	return isqrt_impl(1, 3, value);
}

// because pack indexing is only in c++26
