Dynamic polymorphism in C++ has historically meant virtual functions and inheritance. However, these form only one possible design for solving this problem, and they bring several implications on performance,\u00a0<\/span>ergonomics<\/span>\u00a0and flexibility.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Type erasure is another way to implement dynamic polymorphism, as demonstrated in several talks by Sean Parent and adopted in other languages, such as Rust’s trait objects. But implementing type erasing objects which provide ergonomic interfaces in C++ is cumbersome and error-prone, leading to a large family of types and libraries with subtly different semantics and lower adoption rates compared to inheritance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This talk will present a possible future design for interface-based type erasure in C++ that marries the convenience of inheritance to the benefits which it otherwise lacks. It will introduce the code injection and\u00a0<\/span>metaclasses<\/span>\u00a0facilities which are proposed for inclusion in C++ along with a prototype implementation of the design based on the experimental\u00a0<\/span>metaclasses<\/span>\u00a0Clang fork.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cross-Platform Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them<\/span><\/span>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Erika Sweet<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

C++ cross-platform development is difficult. These difficulties are compounded by the fractured solution space, where every project seems to use a different combination of build systems, package managers, and diagnostic tools to address shared challenges. Join us for a discussion and demo of C++ cross-platform development centered on common pitfalls and widely adopted tooling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Learn how to leverage CMake and its new\u00a0<\/span>CMakePresets.json<\/span>\u00a0to seamlessly build across operating systems and platforms. Untangle your dependencies with tools like\u00a0<\/span>vcpkg<\/span>\u00a0and Conan to avoid inconsistencies between system package managers. Debug your projects across multiple platforms with remote debugging. We\u2019ll also explore how\u00a0<\/span>CMakePresets.json<\/span>\u00a0is supported on the command line, in Visual Studio, and in Visual Studio Code.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>A preview of\u00a0<\/span><\/span>CMakePresets.json<\/span><\/span>\u00a0integration in Visual Studio. Come\u00a0<\/span><\/span>to Erika\u2019s session or find us at the virtual\u00a0<\/span><\/span>expo hall to learn more!<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
