Template Meta Programming

Template meta programming is a powerful technique in C++ that allows developers to write code that generates other code at compile time. This technique can be used to create highly efficient, generic, and reusable code, as well as to create domain-specific languages and other advanced features. In this book, you will learn the fundamentals of template metaprogramming and how to apply it to your own projects. You will also learn about the most important features of the C++ template system and the common pitfalls to avoid. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced C++ developer, this book will provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to master template metaprogramming and take your C++ programming to the next level.

In this chapter, we will discuss the following topics.

  • Programming at compile time – the fundamentals (compile-time programming with templates)
  • A Constexpr-based assessment of compile time
  • Substitution Failure...
