C++ – The Newest Old Language
summary
C++ evolution is concrete: modern C++ (C++11/14/17) adds auto and range-for for concise code, move semantics and unique_ptr ownership to eliminate many leaks, and constexpr and if consteval for compile-time computation. Tooling is real: clang and GCC implement upcoming C++20 features, sanitizers (AddressSanitizer/UBSan) catch out-of-bounds and UB at runtime, and compiler optimizers auto-vectorize contiguous value-type arrays — demonstrated with a small Position class and a trading-system use case.
