Adi Shavit: The C++ Bestiary

C++ is blessed with a plethora of gotchas, traps, caveats, pitfalls and footguns. From Abominable Types to Zombies, many shady characters lurk within the C++ dungeons.
I will introduce you to some of these bountifully spawned beasts. I guarantee that everyone will learn at least a new thing.
