IIFE in C++ for Performance and Safety

Explore the concept of Immediately-Invoked Function Expressions (IIFE) in C++ and their applications for enhancing performance and safety in a 22-minute conference talk from CppNow. Discover how this technique, commonly used in JavaScript, can be applied to C++ programming to create local scopes for variables, preventing global scope pollution. Learn how IIFE can lead to cleaner, safer, and more performant code when initializing objects that require multiple steps. Delve into topics such as const initialization, return type deduction, object selection, and readability. Gain insights on when to use IIFE and when to avoid it, along with important considerations for optimization. Access the accompanying slides for a comprehensive understanding of the presented concepts.
