Modern Cpp Features
This project is a comprehensive collection of reference materials, including a language cheatsheet, a standard library reference, and a concurrency reference. It serves as a guide to modern C++ development, focusing on language syntax, standard library utilities, and template metaprogramming patterns.
The repository provides specific guidance on template metaprogramming through a dedicated guide covering compile-time evaluation, type deduction, and variadic template execution.
The materials cover a broad range of capabilities, including asynchronous programming, memory management, and system integration for filesystem and time measurement. It also addresses language features such as type constraints, automatic type deduction, and dynamic text formatting.
