Comparing 'Classic C++' and 'Modern C++' Ways to Solve Programming Tasks
summary
Compares concrete C++ idioms by showing code, compile behavior and measurements: multiple loop forms (index, reverse, iterator, range-for), using algorithms like std::accumulate vs ranges::fold_left (C++23, Microsoft runtime available), and testing performance with blind comparisons. Shows template constraints evolving from enable_if to concepts with clearer error messages, stream pitfalls (strstream leaks, std::ostringstream copies fixed by std::move and new spanstream in C++23 by Peter Summerland), structured bindings vs tuples, and prefers owning members to reach the rule of zero.
