Tag Dispatching Idiom

Explore the tag dispatching idiom to understand how function selection based on type properties occurs at compile time. This lesson helps you implement optimized algorithms using iterator traits, improving performance and ensuring type safety when working with various C++ iterators.

We'll cover the following...

Now that we have discussed traits, we will move our discussion to tag dispatching.

Tag dispatching allows the selection of a function based on the type properties:

  • The selection takes place at compile time.
  • Traits are used as selection criteria.

Let’s start with the tag dispatching code and implement a fine-tailored advance_ algorithm optimized for the used container.

Note: The ...
