In my last post, “Dynamic and Static Polymorphism“, I introduced dynamic polymorphism. Today, I continue with static polymorphism and present a very interesting idiom in C++: curiously recurring template pattern (CRTP).
Do you want to participate in my mentoring program “Fundamentals for C++ Professionals”? Of course, you want to read more about me on my mentoring page: About Rainer Grimm.
Polymorphism is the property that different types support the same interface. In C++, we distinguish between dynamic polymorphism and static polymorphism.
In today’s post, I want to introduce an exciting C++17 feature: constexpr if. constexpr if enables it to compile source code conditionally and can be used for nice tricks at compile time.
With C++20, constexpr became way more powerful. Additionally, we have consteval functions in C++20 that are quite similar to constexpr functions.
One month ago, I presented “My Mentoring Program “Fundamentals for C++ Professionals“. I’m overwhelmed by how my people want to participate in this first iteration of my mentoring program. What should I say? Today, I want to give you more details.
Today, I continue my story about programming at compile time. After template metaprogramming, the type-traits library, today’s topic is constexpr functions in particular.
I am happy to announce. I updated my “Concurrency with Modern C++”. This update includes a rework of the C++20 topics, a new case study, and a new chapter about lock-free data structures. Now, you get about 700 pages and more than 200 runnable programs to study the theory in practice. Here is more info: […]
I have prepared the pdf bundle. To get it is quite simple.
This post ends the mini-series about the dining philosophers problem by Andre Adrian. Today, he applies powerful locks and semaphores.
