Fundamentals of Type-Dependent Code Reuse - Mark Isaacson - NDC Oslo 2015

From NDC Oslo 2015:

Fundamentals of Type-Dependent Code Reuse

by Mark Isaacson

About the video:

This talk surveys different code reuse problems that can be solved by leveraging type information. Mark talks about how you can optimize your algorithms so that certain types use a "fast path", all while hiding that complexity from your users. He also talks about various ways to create "opt-in" functions for your classes. The talk is accessible to novices but builds gradually to complex ideas, including a theoretical C++17 "Mixer" class that allows users to add arbitrary functions to any type, including ints, on an instance by instance granularity.

by Rob Irving and Jason Turner

About the interviewee:

Matt is a developer at trading firm DRW. Before that he's worked at Google, run a C++ tools company, and spent over a decade in the games industry making PC and console games. He is fascinated by performance and created GCC Explorer, to help understand how C++ code ends up looking to the processor. When not performance tuning C++ code he enjoys writing emulators for 8-bit computers in Javascript.
