The future of C++ speaks templates, and so does my blog Modernes C++. Based on the poll of my last post, “Quo Vadis – Modernes C++”, my next presumably 50 – 100 posts explain the details of templates. I want to give you an idea of the upcoming posts in this post.<\/p>\n

\"result\"<\/p>\n

Let me first write a few words about the poll because its result surprised me in two ways.<\/p>\n

The Poll<\/h2>\n

First, about 400 people voted in the poll. This is a number I would not have expected. Thanks for the many votes.<\/p>\n

Second, I assumed that “C++23” would probably win the poll, followed by “Templates”  or “Extending and embedding Python with C\/C++”. My assumption was so wrong. I’m happy that I made the poll.<\/p>\n

When I finish these “Templates”,  I make the next poll. Now, let’s tear the wheel to templates.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Templates<\/h2>\n

First of all: What are templates? Templates (class templates or function templates) are families of classes or functions.<\/p>\n

Before I present my plan, I want to encourage you to write me an e-mail if I forgot a template-related feature you are interested in. Here is my e-mail address: Rainer.Grimm@modernescpp.de<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These are the upcoming topics with a few additional words:<\/p>\n

Basics<\/h3>\n

Of course, my tour starts with the basics.<\/p>\n
