Optimizing the Emergent Structures of C++

Explore the intricate relationship between C++ emergent structures and compiler optimization in this keynote address from CppNow 2013. Delve into how modern optimizing compilers interact with C++ code, focusing on the patterns and structures that form complex systems from simple elements. Gain insights into real-world case studies demonstrating the challenges and opportunities these interactions present. Learn principles and techniques for designing C++ programs and libraries that leverage optimizer capabilities while maintaining component simplicity and overall system power. Discover how to navigate the increasing complexity of C++ software systems, balancing the need for human-readable code with the demands of efficient compilation across various computing environments.
