Type Traits and Policies

This chapter covers compile-time type information (type traits) and modular, policy-based design in C++. It will showcase how they empower metaprogramming and foster versatile code design when working with the C++ Standard Template Library (STL) data types and algorithms. It also discusses policies, presenting a strategy to customize the behavior in templated code without altering core logic. Through real-world examples, hands-on implementation techniques, and best practices, you will harness the potential of these powerful C++ tools with the STL, creating adaptable and optimized software components.

This chapter will cover the following:

  • Understanding and using type traits
  • Utilizing type traits with the STL
  • Understanding ...
