Customization Methods - Connecting User and Library Code

Explore the evolution of customization methods in C++ library design through this comprehensive conference talk from CppNow 2022. Delve into various techniques for connecting generic library code with user-specific code, including Customization Point Objects (CPOs), Argument-Dependent Lookup (ADL), Concepts, and the emerging tag_invoke mechanism. Gain insights into the benefits and drawbacks of each approach, and learn about future developments planned for C++23 and C++26. By the end of this presentation, acquire a solid understanding of terminology and recent advancements in the field of customization points, essential for effective library interface design in modern C++ development.
