C++: Fast and Small – What are the Costs of Language Features

Apr 09, 2020

This talk presents the cost of features like Lambdas or the all time static using code examples. The focus is on modern C++. At the end attendee are able to rate features more precisely whether to use them in a project or not.

C++ Insights: How stuff works, Lambdas and more!

Dec 03, 2020

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!
