Real-time Programming with the C++ Standard Library

In applications such as video games and audio processing, a program has to not only produce the correct result, but to do so reliably in a deterministic amount of time. The code needs to satisfy real-time constraints, complicated by the fact that it will typically run on a non-real-time OS kernel. Writing code for such constraints significantly differs from writing code that maximises for bandwidth or overall performance. How well suitable is the C++ standard library for such scenarios? In this talk, we will go through many of its facilities in detail. Which are safe to use in (near-)real-time contexts? Which should be avoided, and why? We will discuss well-established utilities and useful patterns as well as some less commonly known details. This talk is a different kind of tour through the standard library – and afterwards, you will be more confident in using it! PUBLICATION PERMISSIONS:
