An Overview Of C++26: The Library – MathSeptember 9, 2024 - 10:18 am
The most interesting feature of the new C++26 standard library is its improved math support. std::submdspan std::submdspan is s a subspan of an existing span std::mdspan (C++23). The subspan didn’t make it into C++23 and was added with C++26. Before I continue with C++26, I must make a short detour to C++23. hi std::mdspan A […]
An Overview of C++26: The LibrarySeptember 2, 2024 - 10:58 am
