A Practical Introduction to C++20's Modules

YouTube·ACCU Conference

Explore a comprehensive conference talk on C++20's modules, delving into their advantages over header files and practical implementation. Learn about modularity principles, faster compile times, reduced name collisions, and improved code structure. Discover how to use modules with major compilers, restructure projects, and leverage build system support. Gain insights into module names, partitions, global modules, exportable elements, and best practices for transitioning from headers to modules. Understand the theoretical foundations and practical applications of this significant C++20 feature, presented by system architect Hendrik Niemeyer at ACCU 2021.
