Testing C++ Templates: Investigating Tests for C++ Templates Using Adversarial Methods

Explore advanced techniques for testing C++ templates in this comprehensive conference talk from ACCU 2024. Delve into the challenges of testing template constructs where not all types are known in advance, particularly in template libraries. Learn a structured approach to handle uncertainty in template testing, including lessons from failed attempts. Discover new metrics for assessing test quality beyond traditional coverage measures, and gain insights into technical and organizational strategies to enhance these metrics. Benefit from Peter Hrenka's extensive experience in C++ programming, ranging from 3D and OpenGL to safety-critical systems, as he presents innovative methods for improving template testing using adversarial techniques.
