My graphics engine.
When I started studying OpenGL back in December it was mostly for fun and with very little interest in going deeper in the realm of graphical programming.

C++17: Variants!
For compatibility reason to C the C++ language include the union construct which allows to manipulate several different types in a uniform manner. The reason I’m writing that this feature exist for compatibility reasons is that is almost completely useless when you’re doing object oriented programming, the only allowed types to be used with union are POD’s, non […]

That is one of those new additions to the language that for the most part is not understood, but that’s not a surprise since most of the people do not understand as well for what reason on heart someone included something diabolic as the variadics in the C++ language. The folding expressions was added to the […]

C++17: map splicing
Std::list have a very useful operation which allows you to move elements from one list to another, it’s called splicing. Splicing come’s almost for free, no elements are really moved but only the pointers internally used by std::list are copied from one container to another. Here’s how splicing work: The first invocation of the splice function […]

C++17: let’s have a look at the constexpr if
There was a long discussion in the C++ community about when and how to implement the static if, the original proposal from Bright, Sutter and Alexandrescu which was aiming to define a possible implementation of this feature was resurrected after a quite long silence, just to be included in the upcoming C++17. The actual implementation of the […]
