The Markable Library

Explore the Markable library, an alternative to std::optional, in this 19-minute conference talk from code::dive 2021. Discover how Markable solves the same problem as std::optional but with a different approach, eliminating extra size costs by utilizing one of your type's values to store information about the empty state. Learn about the library's overview, usage, and comparison to std::optional. Gain insights from speaker Andrzej Krzemieński, an experienced software developer, C++ Standards Committee member, and Boost developer. Understand the potential applications of Markable in safety-related and high-performance systems, and how it can optimize your C++ code.
