From Templates to Concepts - Metaprogramming in C++

From Templates to Concepts - Metaprogramming in C++

Explore the evolution of metaprogramming in C++ from templates to concepts in this comprehensive conference talk from CppNow 2023. Dive into the history of C++ metaprogramming techniques, starting with C++11-17 approaches and progressing to the powerful features introduced in C++20, such as concepts. Learn how to implement metaprogramming examples using both older and modern C++ standards, demonstrating the increased clarity and elegance of code. Gain insights into complex traits, print functions, type dispatching, nested iterators, and concept libraries. Discover how to leverage concepts to create more expressive and readable metaprogramming code, addressing common challenges and fears associated with template metaprogramming. Ideal for C++ developers looking to enhance their metaprogramming skills and modernize their codebase.
