Registration is now open for CppCon 2024! The conference starts on September 15 and will be held in person in Aurora, CO. To whet your appetite for this year’s conference, we’re posting some upcoming talks that you will be able to attend this year. Here’s another CppCon future talk we hope you will enjoy – and register today for CppCon 2024!
Leveraging C++20/23 Features for Low Level Ineractions
Tuesday, September 17 14:00 - 15:00 MDT
by Jeffrey Erickson
Summary of the talk:
Low level interactions are a core part of embedded implementations. All too often, C++ developers rely on C constructs and interactions due to prior biases around language support. Herein we present effective leveraging of C++20 and C++23 constructs in an embedded driver code base. From using an existing C driver more effectively with modern C++ smart pointers to leveraging constexprs for bit and byte manipulation in the standard library, we will go over how you can stay on the cutting edge of the C++ language evolution in the embedded space.
