Generics and Templates
A “type system” in a programming language is the foundation over which “richer” and “more general” constructs of modules, functions, expressions and variables can be expressed.
What is also needed is a way to enforce “constraints” (ie. ) and perform “checking” (ie. ) on the types at “compile time” and/or “run time”, to ensure that parts of the program work together consistently.
Today both Java 8/9 and C++ 11/14 provide rich and sophisticated approaches to express types within the language constructs (even though they adopt different approaches). The re-designed and re-fitted “Collections” and “Template” library attest to the importance of generic programming capabilities.
The focus of the talk is to
- highlight the features
- showcase the code
- provide best practices
- strategy dealing with legacy Java and C++ code
which can be profitably adopted while engineering enterprise, infrastructure or resource constrained software.
Intended audience
Programmers, Software engineers and software architects.
