Removing Undefined Behavior from Integer Operations - The Bounded-Integer Library
Offered By: CppNow via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore David Stone's C++Now 2014 talk on the bounded::integer library, which aims to eliminate undefined behavior in integer operations. Learn about the library's motivation, unique features, and implementation details. Discover how to use template policies, syntax, and user-defined literals to create safer integer types. Examine the library's support for inclusive bounds, implicit conversions, and its limitations with floating-point numbers. Gain insights into policy classes, integer overflow handling, and implementation considerations for more robust C++ programming.
