Technical requirements
We have to admit that reading this chapter will not be a straightforward process, but we will try to make it as easy as possible. Our minds will wander between platforms, compilers, and different dialects of the C++ language. However, at some point, we must draw the line and conclude that we should be able to transform all this theoretical transfer of information into the practicalities of life and produce some C++ code out of it. So, we kindly ask that at this stage of the book, you have access to the almighty internet, and the go-to place for experimental C++: Matt Godbolt’s site:
That place should keep you covered since almost all the compilers we will discuss in this chapter are to be found there.
There is nothing else required for now. That’s because at this stage, we have not produced enough valuable code to be able to put anything meaningful into the GitHub repository of the book, and the code that we have...
