C++ 17 has Structured Bindings, what they do is create a temporary object and provide access to the object’s members locally. What happens is we create a temporary S object, and then copy the values memberwise into the binding structure. x now equals 5 and b equals 3.2. the S instance goes away. Since functionsContinue reading “Structured Bindings and replacing by reference”

Asymptotic Movement
I discovered a GDC talk on a topic called: Asymptotic Averaging. This is sort of a form of interpolation, and can be used to eliminate jerky motions – in particular, they focus on camera movement. Naturally, when you want to change a camera’s direction, you just set the direction. However, if you are doing thisContinue reading “Asymptotic Movement”
Fold Expressions and Lamda Overloads
C++17 has a powerful template feature – Fold Expressions – that combines with a C++11 feature – Parameter Pack. This allows us to do away with C-style variable arguments (variadic functions). I introduce Lamda Overloading as well, to work with these two concepts in a wonderful way. First off, the Parameter Pack. This is aContinue reading “Fold Expressions and Lamda Overloads”
