ISO/IEC 14882
summary
A rapid tour of the ISO C++ text that points to specific clauses and surprises rather than vague themes, using the N4810 draft as the source and the index as the tool. Shows the standardized cache‑line aliasing name hardware destructive interference size and its inconsistent cat and dog cross‑references, parses the wording about atomic union padding and why that complicates layout, notes the retained zombie names and a lifetime inconsistency where direct member initializers are forbidden but a constructor‑argument workaround is allowed.
