Advancing cppfront with Modern C++: Refining the Implementation of is, as, and UFCS - Filip Sajdak

Discover how modern C++ can refine the implementation of is, as, and UFCS in the CppFront project. Explore concepts, lambda functions, and C++20/C++23 features for improved code clarity, efficiency, and maintainability.

Key takeaways

Concepts replace requires and allow for conditional logic.
Use of lambda functions can simplify code and provide more flexibility.
C++20 and C++23 features, such as attributes and subsumption rules, improve code clarity and efficiency.
The std::variant type provides a way to handle variant types in a type-safe manner.
Explicit casting and runtime checks can be used to ensure correct behavior in edge cases.
The CPPFront project provides a way to generate code for type-safe programming.
Avoid using negations in parents and use requires clauses instead.
Perfect forwarding and explicit template arguments can improve code readability and maintainability.
The COMPILER EXPLORER tool helps analyze and debug code.
C++20 features, such as P2392, provide a unified way to define and use concepts.
The is and as operators can be used to perform type-safe checks.
The std::monostate type is used to represent a type that has no values.
The void type can be used as a placeholder for an unknown type.
The Size_t type is used to represent the size of an object.
C++20 and C++23 features, such as attributes and subsumption rules, provide a way to define and use concepts.
