Formal Wording for Concepts

March 15, 2007

The first formal wording for concepts is now available as part of the pre-meeting mailing for the upcoming ISO C++ committee meeting in Oxford, UK this April. This document is not going to help anyone learn concepts, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who isn’t already a card-carrying C++ language lawyer. However, having this document is a major step toward standardization of concepts, because we now have specific wording that we can discuss, improve, and eventually put into the C++0x working paper.

Concepts Talk/Tutorial now at Google Video

A few weeks ago, I gave an introductory Concepts talk as a Google tech talk. It was an hour-long introduction to generic programming and concepts, and I highly recommend it for anyone interested in learning more about Concepts in C++. You can watch this talk at Google Video.
