Lightning Talk: Smart Pointers in C++ Are Not Pointers - Niko Wilhelm - ACCU 2024

Smart Pointers in C++ are a great tool and are almost the same as regular pointer types. I want to explore how they do differ, specifically regarding covariance, and what we can do about it.

I did my bachelors and masters in computer science in Karlsruhe, Germany. During my studies I got interested in C++ and am curious about the strange little corners of this language. Since 2022 I work on traffic simulation using C++.

The ACCU Conference is the annual conference of the ACCU membership, but is open to any and all who wish to attend. The tagline for the ACCU is 'Professionalism in Programming', which captures the whole spectrum of programming languages, tools, techniques and processes involved in advancing our craft. While there remains a core of C and C++ - with many members participating in respective ISO standards bodies - the conference, like the organisation, embraces other language ecosystems and you should expect to see sessions on C#, D, F#, Go, Javascript, Haskell, Java, Kotlin, Lisp, Python, Ruby, Rust, Swift and more.The ACCU Conference is a conference by programmers for programmers about programming.
Discounted rates for members.
