Dublin C++ User Group

Hello Everyone,

For this meetup, we'll have a presentation by Thomas PK Healy. On his way to Belfast, he'll be stopping by Dublin to talk to us about one of his paper.

You can find his projects, papers, and tutorials here:

--- Bio ---

Thomas PK Healy is a member of the International Standards Organisation's global panel for the standardisation of the C++ programming language.
A lifelong computer enthusiast, Thomas began working with computers at age five and started programming in Visual Basic at eleven. By fifteen, he
had ventured into C++, and during university he was introduced to embedded systems programming for PIC microcontrollers in C, later expanding
to Arduino in C++.
With extensive experience across multiple platforms — including DOS, MS-Windows, Linux, macOS, Barebox, and embedded environments such as
Arduino, Texas Instruments, and PIC microcontrollers — Thomas has implemented his proposed C++ language features in assembler for eight CPU
instruction sets (Motorola, SuperH, ARM32, AArch64, x86_32, x86_64, Hewlett Packard, and Texas Instruments).
He maintains an online archive of his papers, hobby projects, and algorithms at http://virjacode.com

--- Abstract ---

The C++ programming language supports multiple inheritance in class hierarchies, but this can sometimes lead to illogical complications.
This talk will explore the challenges of managing the order of method invocation in multiple inheritance scenarios and demonstrate how
the proposed keyword 'continue' could streamline this process.
Through practical examples, we will examine how this feature improves code clarity and maintainability, particularly in systems employing diamond inheritance.

The great folks at Anseo are graciously letting us use their upstairs room again. You are all very welcome !
