There are two different ways to create a std::shared_ptr: via one of its constructors and via std::make_shared. Both have their merits and different tradeoffs. First of all I’d like to […]

With the new C++ standards, we got a lot of features that feel like “quality-of-life” features. They make things easier for the programmer but do not add functionality that wasn’t […]

Having written about std::variant and std::visit last week, it’s time to string together some modern C++ features to build a naive basic implementation of overload, a proposed C++ feature. Recap: […]
