Catching Performance Issues at Compile Time - Keith Stockdale - CppCon 2025
---
This talk is about using a type trait to detect when callables are accepting their arguments by value, when they should be accepting them by reference. E.g. You probably shouldn't be accepting arguments by value in your sorting predicate... Especially when your type is large or allocates.
We can then use this type trait to turn these kinds of runtime performance issues into a compiler error.
*Note: this lightning talk is based on a part of my talk that I cut out due to time constraints, and so most of the content of this lightning talk already exists as part of my ACCU 2025 video*
