C++ Include Directives Optimization and Management - ACCU 2024

Discover effective strategies for optimizing C++ #include directives in this one-hour conference talk from ACCU 2024. Learn how to identify and eliminate superfluous inclusions that contribute to code bloat in large-scale projects, with real-world examples demonstrating how mature codebases can accumulate thousands of unnecessary includes. Explore common pitfalls, practical solutions, and the significant impact of include optimization on build times and maintainability. Delivered by Gabriel Diaconita, a technology lead at Caphyon and co-author of Clang Power Tools, gain insights from his decade of experience developing Windows software and maintaining both legacy and modern C++ codebases.
