inline – not what it used to be
UPDATE:Thank you Peter Sommerlad for pointing out that the non-violation of ODR was and remains the primary purpose of inline, not the optimization hint. I’m updating the post to reflect this. Today I want to talk about the C++ keyword inline; what it used to mean prior to C++17 and what it means today. Let’s […]
Modern C++ Coding Standard by Marcus Tomlinson – book review
I have this habit of buying books. Like tons of books. Ask my wife, she’ll tell you. I think at that point she gave up. I like to read what others think about the industry, about a specific domain. How do people see programming (especially C++) and technology from their own perspective. So sometimes, I […]

Use case of utilizing std::set instead of std::map
Some time back I reviewed code that had the following design and data structure: Now, the above is a struct but just imagine it could be a class with private/public sections, a beefy interface and data members. The author(s) of the code wanted to place it in some data structure that can help retrieve an […]
= delete; // not just for special member functions
During the 29th San Diego C++ Meetup fellow C++ enthusiast and contributor to my blog, Kobi, brought up something interesting about deleted functions and I wanted to share this little gem with you… To my surprise the = delete; postfix can be applied not only to special member functions like constructors or assignment operators, but to […]
