A Journey Into Non-Virtual Polymorphism
Wednesday, October 4 • 09:00 - 10:00
by Rudyard Merriam
Summary of the talk:
Join me on an introductory journey into polymorphism that doesn't use class inheritance and virtual functions. I'll share my amazement at how polymorphism permeates C++. Then we'll visit the long-used Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (CRTP) with its modernization using implicit this.
Do you like lambdas? So does the override pattern, which uses them to handle std::tuples and std::variants with std::apply and std::visit.
Want to walk through a container of disparate types invoking their functions? You'll see this and all the above in code examples galore.
Afterward, you'll be eager to learn more on your own!
