21st Century C++
11:40 AM to 12:40 PM
CSB 451 CS Auditorium
Bjarne Stroustrup, Columbia University
Abstract:
Why did C++ succeed on a massive scale without marketing or a rich owner? Its imminent death was frequently predicted even from before it was called C++. The reason is that C++ has some key C++ features that serve widespread needs, are manageable by “ordinary developers”, and are stable over decades.
Here, I present C++ as a coherent whole where strongly-typed generic programming has a central role, where code is presented as modules, resources are never leaked, and error-handling is systematic. Code written along these lines tend to be smaller, faster, more maintainable, and more reliable than code reflecting 20th-century thinking. The features I present are ISO standard C++ and shipping in major compilers. This style of C++ is a logical development of the foundational principles from the earliest days. I will briefly explain how to avoid getting stuck in 20th-century C++ and describe the plans for “Profiles” to manage the complexity accreted over decades of serious use. Along the way, I’ll try to put the evolution of C++ in its historical context.
