C++ Modules and Large-Scale Development

Explore the impact of C++ modules on large-scale software development in this comprehensive ACCU 2018 conference talk. Delve into how modules will revolutionize program architecture, improve compilation speeds, and reduce reliance on the C++ preprocessor. Learn about the stable migration of large codebases to be consumable as both modules and normal headers. Discover key concepts such as components, physical dependencies, design rules, and criteria for colocating public classes. Gain insights into reuse, insulation, encapsulation, and installation in the context of modular C++ development. Examine topics like Abstract Data Lookup (ADL), inline functions, and classes within the framework of C++ modules. Understand how this upcoming feature will transform the way you develop, organize, and deploy your code in large-scale C++ projects.
