Understand how to use modern C++ templates for writing maintainable, robust, and fast software
Key Features
- Grasp the fundamentals of and learn to write effective C++ templates
- Get up to speed with the latest C++20 template features such as constraints and concepts
- Explore different patterns and idioms to integrate templates in your program design
Book Description
Learn how the metaprogramming technique enables you to create data structures and functions that allow computation to happen at compile time. With this book, you'll realize how templates help you avoid writing duplicate code and are key to creating generic libraries, such as the standard library or Boost, that can be used in a multitude of programs.
The introductory chapters of this book will give you insights into the fundamentals of templates and metaprogramming. You'll then move on to practice writing complex templates and exploring advanced concepts such as template recursion, template argument deduction, forwarding references, type traits, and conditional compilation. Along the way, you'll learn how to write variadic templates and how to provide requirements to the template arguments with C++20 constraints and concepts. Finally, you'll apply your knowledge of C++ metaprogramming templates to implement various metaprogramming patterns and techniques.
By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to write effective templates and implement metaprogramming in your everyday programming journey.
What you will learn
- Understand the syntax for all types of templates
- Discover how specialization and instantiation works
- Get to grips with template argument deduction and forwarding references
- Write variadic templates with ease
- Become familiar with type traits and conditional compilation
- Restrict template arguments in C++20 with constraints and concepts
- Implement patterns such as CRTP, mixins, and tag dispatching
Who this book is for
This book is for beginner-to-intermediate C++ developers who want to learn about template metaprogramming as well as advanced C++ developers looking to get up to speed with the new C++20 features related to templates and the the various idioms and patterns. Basic C++ coding experience is necessary to get started with this book.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
