Templates and metaprogramming considered as the big bad wolf of C++, and it’s time to stop being scared of this wolf, as it’s one of the most powerful creatures of C++.

Talk: Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Template

by Coral Kashri

From the description:

In this talk I’ve demonstrated the power of this incredible creature, while I hope that this talk would be an easy enterence to this concept (pan intended), and to help you developing the anticipation to walk into the cave of metaprogramming.

The talk was give on Core C++ 2025.

How do you quickly explore an unfamiliar C or C++ codebase? We'll use Doom as an example to demonstrate how to navigate an unfamiliar codebase.

From the description:

Using the classic Doom C program on Linux as our real-world example, we trace the exact moment a zombie is killed and backtrack through the codebase to understand how it happened [..] using Undo’s Time Travel Debugging technology.

Lightning Talk: The UB Detector: constexpr

by Andreas Fertig

Summary of the talk:

A constexpr function evaluated at compile time is free of any undefined behaviour they say. Do you think that statement is true as well?

Modern C++ Error Handling

by Phil Nash

Summary of the talk:

We’ve had exceptions in C++ since before the first standard. C++17 introduced std::optional and C++23 std::expected (along with the so-called Monadic Operations for both types).

What should we use and when?

Meanwhile we still have older approaches, such as boolean or error code returns, as well as global or thread local error status or pointer or reference arguments.

Do these still have a place?

And where does assert fit in? And the (hopefully) upcoming contracts?

Perhaps more importantly, once we’ve examined all the trade-offs, can we defer any of those decisions to when we are best positioned to commit to them?

Erroneous conditions can have a big impact on your code’s safety and security, so error handling shouldn’t just be left to the “exercise left for the reader” in the books we used to read. Let’s get this all straight.
