So, I’ve first seen this as a question on reddit and I found it very interesting. I mean, it’s something that I’ve never asked myself and always thought that Concepts are, by default, faster. After all, Concepts are new additions to the language and SFINAE implementations are more or less, hacks. By the way, if …
How many times have you used “std::cout” until now? I bet the answer is “a lot of times”. Did you ever think about how the “cout” ostream object is actually found by the compiler? I mean, of course it is in the “iostream” header file, but how does the compiler find it? Also, what if …
I wrote the previous post in which I provided you all, a little bit of introduction into C++ templates. I also mentioned that, if the topic is well received, I will probably write more articles on this topic. Well, here it is. In this post I’m going to give you a detailed overview on C++ …
The template is one of the most powerful tool to have in your toolbox as a C++ developer. I feel like C++ templates are often misunderstood, misused or overused(when a non-template approach would be just as useful and maybe easier to read and understand). Also, they are often avoided, due to lack of understanding. There …
As a C++ developer, I find it quite important to know about things like: “is this code faster?”, “what happens with this code when you use other compiler version?”, “what does the compiler generate for me?” etc. Even if you don’t feel the same as me and you don’t deem necessary to know all of …

A while ago, I’ve posted this article about the implementation of a TicTacToe game in C++. However, the implementation there is quite bad and hard to understand(and also, it seems that there are some bugs). That’s why I have come up with this article in which I will show you a better implementation of the …
What is the run time ? Well, that is pretty simple. Actually, the run time represents the span of time from when an action starts until that action ends, while your application is running.This may also be known as CPU time: how much it takes for the CPU to perform the action. Let’s say that …
Hi all,As the tradition goes on this blog, you can also find this post in video format with practical example on my YouTube channel (/c/cppdev), right here(second part of the video) and here. Introduction This post will cover a minimal example on how you can create UTs (Unit Tests) for your code and how you …
Testing the code… What is that ? Well… We all know that guy that always tests it’s code in production. We don’t want to be “that guy”. Before starting this out, I want to tell you that you can also find this information in video format on my YouTube channel (/c/cppdev), right here. This post …
There is also a newer article with a better implementation here, so after you read this don’t forget to check the other one to see how it differs. After the posts related to devops work, with all the git and github and build systems stuff, it’s time for us to get a little bit into …
