Pre Conference Workshop: Nicolai Josuttis: "Concepts, Ranges, and Views in Practice"

Abstract

Concepts and ranges are THE two key features of C++20 and C++23 you can immediately use with tricky and powerful consequences. These feature change your programming style significantly, but as usual for C++, things are not self-explanatory. There are important design aspects to recognize, details to know, and severe pitfalls to deal with. This workshop introduces concepts (with requirements and constraints) and ranges (with views) in detail. We will see how to combine the various parts of these features and how to use them in practice. The focus is on conceptional understanding of the cool and the tricky aspects to benefit from concepts and ranges and use them right where appropriate.
