A Medley of C++
summary
Seven short C++ nuggets: a classification scheme that places every type into 16 type categories and a practical detection idiom using sizeof(T) to test completeness; a simplification of is_function that removes the historical 48 specializations by testing references vs functions; a concrete code review that changes a return to size_t, tightens loop scope, prefers pre-increment, uses const char and clearer names; a declaration principle that expressions map to declarators; a history note that Emmy Noether → Concepts influenced C++20.
