sdcppmu #58 - Part2 of Modern C++ Design, chapter 2

Agenda

The second chapter in Andrei's Alexandrescu Modern C++ design book.
We will cover:

• Compile time assertions
• Partial template specialization.
• Local classes.
• Map integral constants to types. Compile time dispatch based on numeric values. Boolean conditions.
• Type to type mapping. For overloading and function template partial specialization.
• Type selection, based on compile time boolean conditions.
• Detect convertibilities and inheritance at compile time.
• TypeInfo wrapper over type_info. Value semantic and ordering comparisons.
• NullType, EmptyType placeholders classes.
• TypeTraits template to offer multiple general purpose traits to help us tailor the code to specific categories of types

See you soon,
