Abstract

With concepts and ranges coming, big changes are in store for the Standard Library and for the style of idiomatic C++. The effort to redefine the Standard Library is picking up pace. Come hear about one potential future from one of the key people driving the change. In this talk, Eric works through a tricky example and shows an elegant solution rooted both in yesterday’s STL and tomorrow’s. He will speak briefly about where we are in the process to reinvent and reinvigorate the Standard Library.
