Zero-Allocation & No Type Erasure Futures
Explore the concept of zero-allocation and no type erasure futures in this in-depth conference talk from ACCU 2018. Delve into the challenges and possibilities of implementing composable futures without dynamic allocation and type erasure, especially when the computation graph's shape is known at compile-time. Learn about the upcoming std::experimental::future additions focused on composability, and follow the speaker's step-by-step design and implementation process of an experimental future library. Analyze running time, compilation time, and generated assembly benchmarks to understand the performance implications. Gain insights into C++17 language and library features as they relate to this topic, with explanations provided throughout the presentation. Ideal for developers familiar with C++11/14 language features and std::future or boost::future, with C++17 knowledge being helpful but not required.
