C++ High Performance

Summary

In this chapter you have learned how to use metaprogramming to generate functions and values at compile time instead of runtime. You also learned how to do this in a modern C++ way by using templates, constexpr, static_assert(), if constexpr and type traits. Moreover, with the constant string hashing, you also learned how to use compile time evaluation in a practical context. In the next chapter we will learn how to further expand our C++ toolbox for creating libraries by learning how to construct hidden proxy objects.
