Multiple Destructors with C++ Concepts

Explore how to implement multiple destructors using C++20 Concepts to enhance type safety in template classes. Understand the benefits of selecting destructors based on type traits and how Concepts simplify techniques previously used before C++20, enabling optimized and cleaner resource management.

Destructors can’t be overloaded. After all, they have no return type and they don’t take parameters. They’re also not really const because they destroy the underlying objects.

Yet, techniques did exist to have multiple destructors in a class before C++20. Those techniques are simplified in C++20.
