Please join us for our fourth official C++ Singapore meetup!
This is going to be a more casual meet-up where members of the community here are going to be giving some talks.
The meet-up will be held at the National University of Singapore.
Anyone interested in the C++ programming language, from students to professionals, is welcome!
Meetup Track 📌 #1: The Cost of Abstraction: std::function under the microscope Speaker: Namrata Priyadarshani, Graviton Research Capital LLP
Modern C++ gives as powerful abstraction like std::function , std::bind , std::any . But these conveniences often hide real runtime costs. In this talk we go under the hood of std::function with real code examples, assembly analysis and practical ways to debug unpredictable latency.
📌 #2: What C++ developers should know about compiling and linking Speaker: Kai L, Tower Research Capital
The speaker will cover C++ goes from C++ files to an executable, the linker and the includes relationships between files.
📌 #3: The niche use of [[no_unique_address]] that no one talks about: A lesson on alignment and padding Speaker: Ryan Chung, Fenix One
[[no_unique_address]] is often used as an optimization for zero-size member subobjects, but it can do much more. We'll be deep diving into its niche use case to help optimize the space usage of certain structs, and look into the guarantees provided by different standards (C++ and ABI).
Please RSVP if you plan to attend, and please cancel your RSVP again if you find out later that you cannot attend so that someone else can use your slot.
