https://cpponsea.uk --- Rust Traits In C++ - Eduardo Madrid - C++ on Sea 2025 --- The traditional mechanism of runtime polymorphism, in C++, is inheritance and virtual overrides, however, this mechanism requires strong commitment, including the intrusive nature of inheritance, which might be inadequate in many situations, and actually, Rust Traits are a very useful way to approach the needs of runtime polymorphism for many scenarios. Let's learn that and see if we can benefit from it natively in C++. C++ is such an expressive language that we can incorporate a central feature of another language, Rust Traits, with just about optimal performance that may be even better than that of the normal mechanism in C++ and its native expression in Rust. In this presentation we will start with C++ and a type erasure library to show step by step how we can transform it into the functional equivalent of Rust Traits --- Slides: https://github.com/philsquared/cpponsea2025-slides/blob/main/Presentations/How_To_Get_the_Benefits_of_Rust_Traits_for_Runtime_Polymorphism_in_C++.pdf Sponsored by Bloomberg: https://www.bloomberg.com/company/values/tech-at-bloomberg/c-plus-plus/ Sponsored By think-cell: https://www.think-cell.com/cpponsea --- Eduardo Madrid Generic Programming practitioner.
