Overview
Explore the power of compile-time parsers in C++ through this comprehensive conference talk from CppCon 2023. Delve into the design of expressive APIs and domain-specific languages using modern C++ features, and learn how to overcome syntax limitations through compile-time parsing techniques. Analyze open-source compile-time parsing libraries from C++11 to C++23, comparing their APIs for flexibility and expressiveness. Gain insights into implementation techniques for handling compile-time parsing under compile-time execution constraints. Discover practical applications for reducing boilerplate, writing compile-time regular expressions, parsers, parser generators, and implementing Rust-like macro rules and reflection features. Enhance your understanding of compile-time parsers' versatility and power in C++ development.
