Description:
In the D Programming Language it is possible for even mere mortals to write code that executes at compile-time. And the resulting code is generally even human readable! In this talk I'll show some of the metaprogramming techniques available in D today, primarily by examining various tricks I've found useful in my own code -- in vector and matrix classes, in my port of the OpenMesh C++ library to D, and so on. I'll make some attempt to relate these back to C++ as well, though my threshold for pain is not very high.
About the Speaker:
Bill Baxter is a researcher in the eXtreme Computing Group of Microsoft Research, currently working on GPU applications. Before moving to Washington earlier this year, Bill was a computer graphics researcher and frequent sushi consumer at OLM Digital in Tokyo, the company best known for its Pokemon animations. Bill has been using C++ for about 15 years, and D for the last three. Bill has a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Sometimes he can be found strumming a guitar to temporarily escape the workaday worries of the world.
