Back to Basics: Concepts in C++ - Nicolai Josuttis - CppCon 2024
---

Concepts are a pretty new key feature of C++. Introduced with C++20, they provide a way to deal with requirements and specify constraints on generic code. This can be used to improve overload resolution, avoid invalid use of generic code, improve error handling, and improve documentation of generic code.

In this talk we introduce the basics of concepts. You will get an overview of
the difference between requirements, concepts, and constraints
where you can apply concepts
how to formulate concepts
what the standard library gives you as and for concepts
how to design concepts right
