A Pragmatic Journey into C++ Modules

Monday July 21, 2025 16:00 - 17:00 EDT

Modules are the most impactful new addition to C++20 since they affect every developer. The other Big Five—concepts, ranges, coroutines, and three-way comparison—affect major segments of C++ users but not necessarily everyone.

This talk is a detailed, pragmatic discussion that uses simple to complex examples. It touches on the detailed workings of modules and build systems, particularly for GCC, Clang, and CMake. (Sorry, no MSVC since I'm on Linux.) At the end, attendees will have a comprehensive understanding of C++20 modules and be equipped to apply this knowledge to their projects.
