Pointless Pointers - How to Make Our Interfaces Efficient

Explore efficient interface design in C++ through this conference talk from code::dive 2017. Delve into the concept of pointers, their potential misuse, and common problems they can cause. Participate in interactive quizzes to test your understanding of pointer implementations. Discover better solutions and learn how to use C++ correctly through multiple case studies. Compare pointer usage in ANSI C with modern C++ approaches. Gain insights into the evolution of pointers and size handling in C++17 and C++20. Understand the crucial differences between C++ and ANSI C to write more effective and efficient code.
