C++ Iteration Revisited 2024 - Safer Abstractions for Sequence Iteration

Explore the concept of safer iteration in C++ through this conference talk from C++ on Sea 2024. Delve into the challenges posed by traditional iterators, including out-of-bounds memory accesses and unexpected invalidation. Discover Flux, a new C++20 library offering a safer abstraction for iterating over sequences while maintaining compatibility with existing code. Examine the performance implications of universal bounds checking and learn how Flux can potentially outperform C++20 Ranges in certain scenarios. Gain insights into making your codebase more resilient and explore quality-of-life improvements offered by this alternative approach to iteration in C++.
