Synopsis:

This lecture covers the virtual inheritance,variadic templetes, template metaprogramming, template libraries design and implementation, tools for data type processing in compile time and for the advanced diagnostic of the templates, concepts, coroutines, modules, ranges, views and other tools introduced in C++ 20, application of the multithreading (execution parallelization).

Syllabus of tutorials:

The same as for the lecture

Study Objective:

The lecture provides a complex view on advanced tools in the C++ programming language and on the best practices for their application in programming. The lecture covers tools that are part of the C++ standard, but are not covered by the basic course. These tools are necessary for the development of advanced C++ libraries aimed not only to the effectivity, but also to the design and architecture quality.
