CppCon 2018: Barbara Geller & Ansel Sermersheim “Undefined Behavior is Not an Error”

http://CppCon.org — Presentation Slides, PDFs, Source Code and other presenter materials are available at: https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2018 — We will provide an introduction to the terminology connected with Undefined Behavior in C++. We will explore the differences between run time errors and undefined behavior. Our talk will focus on Undefined Behavior from the perspective of a developer rather than a compiler designer. As developers we may need to assume that all Undefined Behavior is treated as if the code was not present. Many talks focus on what current day compilers actually do. Our talk will talk about what an "evil compiler" is permitted to do. We will talk about how to look in the C++ standard to learn what constitutes undefined behavior. Multiple examples will be provided to illustrate these ideas. Familiarity with C++, no prior knowledge of compilers or undefined behavior is required. — Barbara Geller, CopperSpice Co-Founder I am an independent consultant with over twenty-five years of experience as a programmer and software developer.
