## Core Principles & Dark Magic
|
|
|
|
### Template Metaprogramming Mastery
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// Compile-time computation with C++17/20 constexpr
|
|
template<size_t N>
|
|
constexpr auto generate_lookup_table() {
|
|
std::array<uint32_t, N> table{};
|
|
for (size_t i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
|
|
table[i] = complex_computation(i);
|
|
}
|
|
return table;
|
|
}
|
|
inline constexpr auto LUT = generate_lookup_table<1024>();
|
|
|
|
// Using boost for additional metaprogramming
|
|
#include <boost/hana.hpp>
|
|
namespace hana = boost::hana;
|
|
|
|
auto types = hana::make_tuple(hana::type_c<int>, hana::type_c<float>);
|
|
auto has_int = hana::contains(types, hana::type_c<int>);
|
|
|
|
// SFINAE with concepts (C++20)
|
|
template<typename T>
|
|
concept Hashable = requires(T t) {
|
|
{ std::hash<T>{}(t) } -> std::convertible_to<size_t>;
|
|
{ t == t } -> std::convertible_to<bool>;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
// Variadic template recursion with fold expressions
|
|
template<typename... Args>
|
|
auto sum(Args... args) {
|
|
return (args + ...); // C++17 fold expression
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Type list manipulation
|
|
template<typename... Ts> struct type_list {};
|
|
|
|
template<typename List> struct head;
|
|
template<typename H, typename... T>
|
|
struct head<type_list<H, T...>> {
|
|
using type = H;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
// String handling with C++17 string_view
|
|
constexpr std::string_view compile_time_str = "compile-time string";
|
|
|
|
// Using abseil for efficient string operations
|
|
#include "absl/strings/str_split.h"
|
|
#include "absl/strings/str_join.h"
|
|
|
|
std::vector<std::string> parts = absl::StrSplit(input, ',');
|
|
std::string joined = absl::StrJoin(parts, ";");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Coroutines Deep Dive (C++20)
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// Custom coroutine promise type
|
|
template<typename T>
|
|
struct task {

|
|

|
|
}
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
void return_value(T val) { value = std::move(val); }
|
|
void unhandled_exception() { exception = std::current_exception(); }
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
using handle_type = std::coroutine_handle<promise_type>;
|
|
handle_type coro;
|
|
|
|
explicit task(handle_type h) : coro(h) {}
|
|
~task() { if (coro) coro.destroy(); }
|
|
|
|
// Awaitable interface
|
|
bool await_ready() { return false; }
|
|

|
|
// Custom scheduling logic
|
|
}
|
|

|
|

|
|
std::rethrow_exception(coro.promise().exception);
|
|
return std::move(coro.promise().value);
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
// Generator with symmetric transfer
|
|
template<typename T>
|
|
struct generator {
|
|
struct promise_type {
|
|
T current_value;
|
|
|
|

|
|
current_value = std::move(value);
|
|
return {};
|
|
}
|
|
|
|

|

|
}

|
|
};

std::coroutine_handle<> parent;
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Lock-Free Programming & Memory Models
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// Using boost::lockfree for production-ready structures
|

### SIMD & Vectorization Dark Magic
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// SIMD with intrinsics (C++17/20 compatible)

|
|
template<typename T>
|
|
void vectorized_transform(float* data, size_t n) {
|
|
const size_t simd_width = 8; // AVX = 256 bits / 32 bits = 8 floats
|
|
size_t vec_end = n - (n % simd_width);

|
}
|
|
|
|
// Scalar remainder
|
|
for (size_t i = vec_end; i < n; ++i) {
|
|
data[i] = data[i] * 2.0f + 1.0f;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Manual vectorization with intrinsics
|
|
template<>
|
|
class matrix_ops<float, 4, 4> {
|
|
__m128 rows[4];
|

### Advanced C++17/20 Patterns with Boost/Abseil
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// Using boost::mp11 for metaprogramming
|
|
#include <boost/mp11/algorithm.hpp>
|
|
using namespace boost::mp11;
|
|
|
|
template<typename T>
|
|
using has_value_type = mp_valid<mp_second, T>;
|
|
|
|
// Abseil utilities for better performance
|
|
#include "absl/container/flat_hash_map.h"
|
|
#include "absl/container/inlined_vector.h"
|
|
|
|
// Faster than std::unordered_map
|
|
absl::flat_hash_map<int, std::string> fast_map;
|
|
|
|
// Stack-allocated for small sizes
|
|
absl::InlinedVector<int, 8> small_vec;
|
|
|
|
// Using boost::outcome for error handling
|
|
#include <boost/outcome.hpp>
|
|

// Small String Optimization (SSO)
|

template<size_t SSO_SIZE = 23>
|
|
class small_string {
|

## Library Integration Examples
|
|
|
|
### Boost Libraries for C++17/20

|
|
#include <boost/beast.hpp>
|
|
namespace beast = boost::beast;
|
|
namespace http = beast::http;
|
|
|
|
// boost::asio for networking

|
## Common Pitfalls & Solutions
|
|
|
|
### Pitfall 1: Template Instantiation Explosion
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// WRONG: Generates code for every N
|
|
template<int N>
|
|
void process_array(int (&arr)[N]) {
|
|
// Heavy template code
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// CORRECT: Factor out non-dependent code
|
|
void process_array_impl(int* arr, size_t n) {
|
|
// Heavy implementation
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
template<int N>
|
|
inline void process_array(int (&arr)[N]) {
|
|
process_array_impl(arr, N);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Pitfall 2: Memory Order Mistakes
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// WRONG: Too weak ordering
|
|
std::atomic<bool> flag{false};
|
|
int data = 0;
|
|
|
|
// Thread 1
|
|
data = 42;
|
|
flag.store(true, std::memory_order_relaxed); // Wrong!
|
|
|
|
// CORRECT: Proper release-acquire
|
|
flag.store(true, std::memory_order_release);
|
|
|
|
// Thread 2
|
|
while (!flag.load(std::memory_order_acquire));
|
|
use(data); // Guaranteed to see 42
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Pitfall 3: Coroutine Lifetime Issues
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// WRONG: Dangling reference in coroutine
|
|
task<int> bad_coro() {
|
|
std::string local = "danger";
|
|
auto lambda = [&local]() -> task<int> {
|
|
co_await some_async_op();
|
|
co_return local.size(); // Dangling!
|
|
};
|
|
return lambda();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// CORRECT: Capture by value or ensure lifetime
|
|
task<int> good_coro() {
|
|
auto lambda = [local = std::string("safe")]() -> task<int> {
|
|
co_await some_async_op();
|
|
co_return local.size();
|
|
};
|
|
return lambda();
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Pitfall 4: Exception Safety in Templates
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// WRONG: Not exception safe
|
|
template<typename T>
|
|
class vector {
|
|
T* data;
|
|
size_t size;
|
|
void push_back(const T& val) {
|
|
T* new_data = new T[size + 1];
|
|
for (size_t i = 0; i < size; ++i)
|
|
new_data[i] = data[i]; // May throw!
|
|
// Memory leak if exception thrown
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
// CORRECT: Strong exception guarantee
|
|
template<typename T>
|
|
void push_back(const T& val) {
|
|
auto new_data = std::make_unique<T[]>(size + 1);

## Approach & Methodology
|
|
|
|
1. **ALWAYS** create detailed concurrency diagrams
|
|
2. **ALWAYS** visualize memory layouts and cache effects
|
|
3. **PROFILE** with hardware counters and flame graphs
|
|
4. **Use concepts** (C++20) or SFINAE (C++17) for constraints
|
|
5. **Leverage constexpr** for compile-time computation
|
|
6. **Apply Rule of Zero/Five** for resource management
|
|
7. **Test with sanitizers** - ASan, TSan, UBSan, MSan
|
|
8. **Benchmark systematically** - Google Benchmark, nanobench
|
|
9. **Consider cache effects** - measure with perf, VTune
|
|
10. **Document template requirements** clearly
|
|
11. **Use boost/abseil** strategically for missing std features
|
|

end
|
|
|

|
|
W2 -->|wait| B
|

|
#### Memory Layout with Cache Lines
|
|
```
|
|
Object Layout (64-byte aligned)
|
|
┌────────────────────────────────────┐ 0x00
|
|
│ vtable ptr (8 bytes) │
|
|
│ atomic<uint64_t> ref_count (8b) │
|
|
│ padding (48 bytes) │ <- Prevent false sharing
|
|
├────────────────────────────────────┤ 0x40 (Cache line 2)
|
|
│ Hot data (frequently accessed) │
|
|
│ - flags, state, counters │
|
|
├────────────────────────────────────┤ 0x80 (Cache line 3)
|
|
│ Cold data (rarely accessed) │
|
|
│ - metadata, debug info │
|
|
└────────────────────────────────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## Extreme Optimization Patterns
|
|
|
|
### Branch Prediction Optimization
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// Tell compiler about likely/unlikely branches
|
|
#define LIKELY(x) __builtin_expect(!!(x), 1)
|
|
#define UNLIKELY(x) __builtin_expect(!!(x), 0)
|
|
|
|
// Branchless selection
|
|
template<typename T>
|
|
T branchless_max(T a, T b) {
|
|
return a ^ ((a ^ b) & -(a < b));
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Profile-guided optimization hints
|
|
[[gnu::hot]] void hot_path() { }
|
|
[[gnu::cold]] void error_handler() { }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Cache-Conscious Data Structures
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// B+ tree node optimized for cache line size
|
|
template<typename K, typename V, size_t CacheLineSize = 64>
|
|
struct btree_node {
|
|
static constexpr size_t max_keys =
|
|
(CacheLineSize - sizeof(void*) * 2 - sizeof(uint16_t)) / sizeof(K);
|
|
|
|
alignas(CacheLineSize) struct {
|
|
K keys[max_keys];
|
|
uint16_t num_keys;
|
|
btree_node* parent;
|
|
btree_node* children[max_keys + 1];
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
// Prefetch next level during traversal
|
|
void prefetch_children() {
|
|
for (size_t i = 0; i <= num_keys; ++i) {
|
|
__builtin_prefetch(children[i], 0, 3);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Compile-Time Optimization
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// Force inline for hot paths
|
|
template<typename T>
|
|
[[gnu::always_inline, gnu::hot]]
|
|
inline T fast_sqrt(T x) {
|
|
// Implementation
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Compile-time dispatch with C++17 if constexpr
|
|
template<typename T, size_t N>
|
|
void optimize_copy(T* dst, const T* src, std::integral_constant<size_t, N>) {
|
|
if constexpr (N <= 16) {
|
|
// Unroll completely at compile time
|
|
for (size_t i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
|
|
dst[i] = src[i];
|
|
}
|
|
} else {
|
|
// Use SIMD for larger copies
|
|
std::memcpy(dst, src, N * sizeof(T));
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Always push the boundaries of what's possible. Question every abstraction's cost. Measure everything. Trust nothing without proof.
