June C++ Meetup @ Google
Details
Hoi Zäme
Join us in yet another C++ meetup! This time we will have just one talk, so more time for discussion. We kindly you to register with your first and last name.
Agenda
- 18:00 - 18:30 Welcome snacks and socialising
- 18.30 -- 20.00 Shachar Shemesh, Undefined Behavior From the Compiler’s Perspective
There are two ways people react to Undefined Behavior (UB) in C++. One reaction is to make this the big bad demon, out to eat all of your bits. The other is to shrug it off as some niche subject which won't matter much.
Both attitudes have some merit while, at the same time, being quite wrong.
This talk approaches UBs, not as the big bad wolf, but from the compiler's perspective. It covers what they are, what the compiler does with them and what makes them dangerous. It also covers C++ misguided approach to them, and what the C++ language (and compilers) can (and should) do to make life easier on developers.
About the Speaker
Shachar started programming over 40 years ago, and still finds pleasure in it. Programming at all levels, from bare metal to GUI, and even building whole computers on FPGAs, some with even more bits than 8.
Shachar is operating a technological YouTube channel called "Some Assembly required" and a less technical one called "Less Assembly required".
