Description
In this talk, Olivier Giroux delves into the concept of Ford progress guarantees in C++. He begins by explaining why Ford progress guarantees are important, as they provide a way to reason about program behavior in a deterministic manner. Olivier then discusses how C++'s abstract machine and memory model impact the behavior of programs that use Ford progress guarantees, highlighting the differences between C++ and other programming languages. He also touches on the implications of C++'s unique features for other languages that may not have their own Ford progress guarantees. Throughout the talk, Olivier provides examples to illustrate how Ford progress guarantees work in practice and why they are essential for building reliable software. By the end of the talk, viewers will have a deeper understanding of Ford progress guarantees in C++ and how they can be used to create more robust and predictable programs.
