C++ Insights: How stuff works, Lambdas and more! - Andreas Fertig [ACCU 2019]

#Programming #Cpp #AccuConf

NOTICE: There were some issues with the microphone in this talk, this is replaced around 15 minutes into the talk.

With the help of C++ Insights we’ll dive into how things work in C++, through the eyes of the compiler.

For example we’ll look at some apparently simple cases like implicit conversions, and how in-class initializers work. We won’t stop there though! We’ll also walk through how the compiler generates lambdas and explore why you might care.

And of course this is C++ so it would be remiss of us not to also take a peek at one of our favourite C++ features: variadic templates!

Welcome to the compiler’s world with C++ Insights, and at the very least come away from the talk with a whole new way of looking at the code you write!

Wow! I learned something new today. What's the rationale for converting short int to int when doing comparison here, in `short int max(short int a, short int b)`? The time is 8:30 in presentation.
