A Safer Iteration Model for C++ - Flux Library Introduction

Explore a comprehensive conference talk on developing a safer iteration model for C++ presented by Tristan Brindle at C++ on Sea 2023. Delve into the challenges of traditional iterators, including out-of-bounds memory access and unexpected invalidation. Discover Flux, a new C++20 library offering a safer abstraction for sequence iteration while maintaining compatibility with existing code. Examine performance implications, potential benefits over C++20 Ranges, and additional quality-of-life improvements. Gain insights into making codebases more resilient, particularly for those interested in STL, ranges, and algorithms in C++20.
