Examples

Code examples from, or related to, the lectures

Lecture 1:

unsigned.cc : example of implicit arithmetic conversion. Try compiling with and without errors. On my machine gives a warning for the comparison when building with -Wextra but not with -Wall.

Lecture 2:

object_value.cc : a small example demonstrating how the same object can be interpreted as different types.

Lecture 3:

example_adl.cc : example of Argument Dependent Lookup

Lecture 4:

ctors.cc : example: default, copy, converting and delegating constructors.

Lecture 5:

typecast.cc : example type cast to change the value of an object by changing its type.

ptr_overload.cc : example: example of the possibly unexpected implicit conversion of char* and overloaded functions.

Lecture 6:

print.cc : a minimal function template example

fn-state.cc : an example of a stateful function object

Lecture 7:

lambda.cc : an example of the difference between capture by value and by reference

template.cc : examples of deduction of template type parameters

Lecture 9:

example_copying.cc : example of resource management for containers 

example_crtp.cc : example of "virtual dispatch" at compile-time, and "mixins"

Lecture 10:

variadic.cc : example of a variadic template

meta.cc : example of compile-time computation of n!

ref.cc : example of the standard reference wrapper and std::ref 

ratio.cc : example of compile_time rational numbers using std::ratio

chrono.cc : example of the time representation classes

enable_if.cc : example of metaprogramming for selecting which overload to be used for a particular type

Lecture 11:

arrayp.cc : example passing a pointer to an array with the array size as part of the type to avoid array decay

multi-array.cc : example of multi-dimensional array

multi-array-mem.cc : example of the difference of an array of char* and an array of char[6]
