Harnessing constexpr: a path to safer C++ - Mikhail Svetkin - Meeting C++ 2025

Harnessing constexpr: a path to safer C++ - Mikhail Svetkin - Meeting C++ 2025 Slides: https://slides.meetingcpp.com In the ongoing debate about the safety of C++, undefined behavior (UB), bounds checking, and memory leaks often dominate the conversation. While some argue that these pitfalls are inherent to the language’s power and flexibility, modern C++ standards have introduced mechanisms to mitigate these risks. This talk explores how leveraging constexpr from its inception in C++11 through its evolution in C++26, can significantly improve code safety. We’ll look at common safety issues in C++, explore tools and sanitizers that help and demonstrate how constexpr can be a powerful but often overlooked solution.
