C++Now 2019: Daveed Vandevoorde “C++ Constants”

http://cppnow.org — Presentation Slides, PDFs, Source Code and other presenter materials are available at: http://cppnow.org/history/2019/talks/ — This that talk is about actual constants in C++, not the more abstract “constants” you might experience while coding C++, like that euphoric sense that you’re making the world a better place. The notion of “constant expressions” underwent a very fundamental change in C++11, and has evolved with every iteration of the standard since then. This presentation will look at some of the major ideas underpinning “constants” in modern C++, including why things are the way they are and what new capabilities C++20 brings. — Daveed Vandevoorde Edison Design Group VP Engineering David ("Daveed") Vandevoorde is a Belgian computer scientist who lives near Princeton, NJ, USA. He is vice-president of engineering at the Edison Design Group (EDG), where he contributes primarily to the implementation of their C++ compiler front end. He is an active member of the C++ standardization committee where he is primarily active in the core language evolution work. His recent work in that context has primarily been about extending the capabilities of “constexpr evaluation”. Daveed is also one of the five members of the committee’s “direction group”. He is the primary author of the well-regarded “C++ Templates: A Complete Guide” (now available in its second edition). — Videos Filmed & Edited by Bash Films: http://www.BashFilms.com --- *--* ---
