    Conditionally Trivial Special Member Functions
    November 20th, 2020
    The C++ standards committee is currently focusing on adding features to the language which can simplify code.

    The Performance Benefits of Final Classes
    The Performance Benefits of Final Classes
    March 2nd, 2020
    The final specifier in C++ marks a class or virtual member function as one which cannot be derived from or overriden. For example, consider the following code:  If we attempt to write a new class which derives from `derived` then we get a compiler error:  The final specifier is useful for expressing to readers of the code that a ...

In C++ it is common to write and use types which wrap objects of other types. std::pair and std::optional are two examples, but there are plenty of others in the standard library, Boost, and likely your own codebases...
