Talk Title: Concept-based Generic Programming
Description
This talk presents programming techniques to illustrate the facilities & principles of C++ generic programming using concepts. Concepts are C++'s way to express constraints on generic code. As an initial example, it provides a simple type system that eliminate narrowing conversions & provides range checking.
Concepts are used throughout to provide user-defined extensions to the type system. The aim is to show their utility & the fundamental ideas behind them, rather than to provide a detailed or complete explanation of C++'s language support for generic programming or the extensive support provided by the standard library.
The final sections briefly present design rationales & origins for key parts of the concept design, including uniform treatment of types, use patterns, the relationship to Object-Oriented Programming, value arguments, syntax, concept type-matching, definition checking & static reflection (a C++26 improvements in the support of general programming).
Speaker Bio
Bjarne Stroustrup is the designer & original implementer of C++ as well as the author of The C++ Programming Language (4th Edition) & A Tour of C++ (3rd edition), Programming: Principles & Practice using C++ (3rd Edition), & many popular & academic publications. He is a professor of Computer Science in Columbia University in New York City. Dr. Stroustrup is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering, & an IEEE, ACM, & CHM fellow. He received the 2018 Charles Stark Draper Prize, the IEEE Computer Society's 2018 Computer Pioneer Award, & the 2017 IET Faraday Medal. He did much of his most important work in Bell Labs. His research interests include distributed systems, design, programming techniques, software development tools, & programming languages. To make C++ a stable & up-to-date base for real-world software development, he has been a leading figure with the ISO C++ standards effort for more than 30 years. He holds a master's in Mathematics from Aarhus University, where he is an honorary professor in the Computer Science Department, & a PhD in Computer Science from Cambridge University, where he is an honorary fellow of Churchill College. www.stroustrup.com
