Reflection in C++ - Past, Present, and Hopeful Future
Offered By: CppCon via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the past, present, and potential future of reflection in C++ through this comprehensive conference talk from CppCon 2022. Delve into the history of reflection and related technologies in programming languages, examining past promises and current developments in C++ standardization. Gain insights into compelling applications on the horizon, including improved generic programming, high-leverage generic code, and seamless integration with foreign languages. Learn about design by reflection, the Million Lines of Code Challenge, and practical applications in areas such as templates, string types, and constructors. Discover how reflection can revolutionize container adapters, enable container-independent code, and facilitate powerset interfaces. Examine static reflection, D reflection applications, and potential language changes through code examples. Understand the implications for runtime switches, algorithm selection, and the future of STD Meta in C++.
