In the last post we saw the TPOIASI, or Terrible Problem Of Incrementing A Smart Iterator, that could incur a performance cost in code that uses range adaptors. Today, we’ll see how smart output iterators fare with the TPOIASI (spoiler: they have a way to avoid the problem). Now if you’re wondering what smart iterators, […]
The Terrible Problem Of Incrementing A Smart Iterator (or TPOIASI) is a difficulty that arises when implementing smart iterators. But even if you don’t implement smart iterators, you may use them in a disguised form, now or in the future. And then, the TPOIASI might impact your code in a subtle manner. Since the world […]
Today’s guest post is written by Jon Kalb. Jon’s infrequently updated blog is // info and he podcasts with Phil Nash on Cpp.chat. For onsite training he can be reached at jon@cpp.training. I’d like start by thanking Jonathan for creating and maintaining the Fluent{C++} blog, for the conversations that it spawns, and for letting me […]
We’re going further yet into the topic of how to make a variadic pack of template arguments of the same type. Indeed, since C++11 we can declare an arbitrary number of template parameters of any type: template<typename… Ts> void f(Ts&&… ts) { // … But we can’t declare an arbitrary number of template parameters of […]
This is it. My first book, The Legacy Code Programmer’s Toolbox, is out. It is available in electronic format: If you don’t have more than 45 seconds to spare right now, watch this little video about the book: What this book will bring you If you are a working in the software industry and you’re […]
How can we define a function that takes any number of arguments of the same type? This is what we tackled in our previous post: How to Define A Variadic Number of Arguments of the Same Type – Part 1. C++98 templates allow a function to accept any type, C++11 variadic templates allow it to accept […]
Since C++98, templates have allowed functions to accept parameters of any type: template<typename T> void myFunction(T const& x) // T can be of any type { // … } In C++11, variadic templates have allowed functions to accept any number of parameters of any type: template<typename… Ts> void myFunction(Ts const&… xs) // the Ts can […]
This is guest post written by a guest author Benjamin Bourdin. If you’re also interested to share your ideas on Fluent C++, check out our guest posting area. With the advent of smart pointers in Modern C++, we see less and less of the low-level concerns of memory management in our business code. And for […]
Announcement: My first book, The Legacy Code Programmer’s Toolbox will be released in electronic format on February 1st, that is in two weeks from now. If you have to work with legacy code on a regular basis, this book will help you make it more expressive to your eyes by understanding it better. It will […]
Today’s guest post is written by Fernando J. Iglesias Garcia. Fernando is half software engineer, half junior researcher, interested in modern C++ and graph signal processing. Fernando can be reached online at @feriglegarc on Twitter and GitHub. Interested in writing for Fluent C++ too? Submit your guest post! Recently, a couple of colleagues and I participated […]
