Explore the fundamental aspects of function interfaces in C++ through this in-depth conference talk. Delve into the unspoken assumptions and expectations surrounding function declarations, and how they impact precise program reasoning. Examine the procedural logic behind function calls, with a focus on often-overlooked details. Discover suggestions for making implicit expectations more explicit and learn how to express deviations from these expectations in current and future C++ versions. Gain valuable insights into the nitty-gritty of C++ programming, complementing the speaker's previous session on reasoning about procedural programs, though prior knowledge is not required. Access accompanying slides for a comprehensive understanding of the basic interface in C++ functions.
