C++11 in the Wild: Techniques from a Real Codebase
Techniques from MemSQL's C++11 codebase. The Auto() macro is the next evolution of OnScopeExit(). make_iterable (a.k.a. as_range) allows "viewing" an arbitrary range as if it were a container. StringConverter. std::spaceship.
About This Session
Three techniques from a production C++11 codebase.
The Auto() macro allows writing arbitrary end-of-scope cleanup code in-line, with zero boilerplate and zero runtime overhead.
make_iterable() (alias boost::iterator_range) takes a pair of iterators and turns them back into a "container" usable in C++11's ranged for loop.
std::spaceship (not actually part of the standard) implements a Perl-style <=> operator in a maximally efficient way for C++11 tuples.
