C++ Tool Support - Where We Are and Where We Are Heading

Explore the importance and capabilities of modern C++ development tools in this 49-minute conference talk from CppNow. Delve into Dmitri Nesteruk's examination of how integrated development environments (IDEs) and other tools enhance C++ programming beyond basic text editors. Discover how these tools provide deeper insights into code behavior and optimization opportunities. Follow along as Nesteruk demonstrates scenarios showcasing the benefits of code generation, refactoring, fast navigation, and hierarchical visualization. Learn about additional features like CMake support, built-in unit testing, and integration with tools such as Cling. Gain an understanding of how IDEs facilitate interoperability with other programming languages like Python, ultimately making the case for their role in boosting C++ development productivity.
