My CppCon 2017 talk about API & ABI versioning is online!

18 Oct 2017 on C++, Events

When you make a change in your code, it’s important to consider the potential impacts on your clients. At CppCon, I gave a talk about those impacts, both on API & ABI, and how to advertise them.

As I said in my trip report, I had two talks at CppCon this year. The first one was about using CMake for Modular Design. The second one is about changes in your library will impact your clients through API & ABI and how to tell them about it through versioning:

You can find the slides here.

If you missed the talk, I’ll give it again at Meeting C++ next month.

About

My name is Mathieu, I’m 42 and I write C++ and optimize games for a living.

I was born in France so of course I’m a pedantic snob who likes wine and pastries.

Clichés aside, I enjoy coding, automating stuff, photography, cinema, role-playing games (both pen & paper and live action) and video games. And also wine (but not only the french ones).

I’ve worked in various areas, ranging from kernel programming to web development, financial software, databases and videogames. My biggest passion is for performance, be it using multithreading, data-oriented design or GPUs.

I’m currently a full time consultant at Unity. I’m sporadically available for consulting.

I am also the co-host of CppCast, the first podcast by C++ developers for C++ developers.

I used to run the C++ French User Group (CppFRUG) meetup in Paris but have since moved to Sweden.

You should easily be able meet me at the Sweden C++ Meetup and the Game Developers Stockholm Meetup, but also at various C++ conferences where I usually try to attend.
