https://cppcon.org/ --- Back to Basics: C++ Value Semantics - Klaus Iglberger - CppCon 2022 https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2022 Modern C++ is more than new standards or an assortment of new features. Modern C++ is about a philosophy on how to use the language. An integral part of this philosophy is value semantics: preferring values and value-like types instead of pointers and references. This talk explains the rational of this philosophy. It demonstrates the benefits of several value types from the standard library, such as std::optional, std::function and std::variant, and the drawbacks of several reference types, such as std::string_view and std::span. It also goes into detail about the most common questions about value semantics, as for instance how to properly use reference types and whether we should stop using reference parameters. --- Klaus Iglberger Klaus Iglberger is a freelance C++ trainer and consultant. He has finished his PhD in Computer Science in 2010 and since then is focused on large-scale C++ software design. He shares his expertise in popular advanced C++ courses around the world (mainly in Germany, but also in the rest of the EU and the US). Additionally, he is the initiator and lead designer of the Blaze C++ math library (https://bitbucket.org/blaze-lib/blaze/), one of the organizers of the Munich C++ user group (https://www.meetup.com/MUCplusplus/), and the organizer of the Back-to-Basics track at CppCon. __ Videos Filmed & Edited by Bash Films: http://www.BashFilms.com YouTube Channel Managed by Digital Medium Ltd https://events.digital-medium.co.uk #cppcon #programming #cpp
