In software development there are only really three numbers: 0, 1 and Many. So as we enter the Many era I'm dropping the Meeting[x] label from the event title.
Agenda:
18:30 pre-session networking, including drinks at the bar if you like
The talk will be a ground-up introduction to the LLVM/clang library infrastructure available for creating custom tools for static analysis or (clang-format-style) source-to-source transformation. I will discuss the LLVM and clang tooling environment and explain how clang represents C++ source code by means of an abstract syntax tree (AST), as well as ways of traversing the AST and looking for certain points of interest, such as code style violations or more severe code smells. After a theoretical introduction I will give one practical example of how any (motivated) C++ programmer can quickly build an effective tool to increase their productivity and improve the performance, style and safety of their code. By the end of the talk I expect listeners to have a basic understanding of the LLVM/clang tooling ecosystem and take away knowledge they can apply immediately at home or in the office.
In this talk we will explore how to boost our design with dependency injection - a design pattern which is part of the S.O.L.I.D principles (OO design) and helps with producing loosely coupled and easy to test code. We will go through different ways of injecting dependencies in modern C++ and we will also inspect how to inject them automatically with [Boost].DI. Finally, we dig into C++20 and beyond to figure out what features might help us with DI in the future.
