**Title**: Generic Programming in C++: A modest example\\
**Proposer**: [[2013:marshall_clow]]\\
**Type**: Tutorial\\
**Duration**: 90 minutes\\
**Description**: \\
In this session, I will take a request from the boost mailing list: "Why doesn’t boost have hex/unhex functions, I think they would be useful" and walk through the design and implementation of these algorithms for the Boost.Algorithm library.\\
\\
Although the functions are simple, there are a surprising number of interesting design decisions that were made along the way – and I will explore them in this talk.\\
\\
Issues covered:\\
  * Generic programming design
  * Dealing with iterators (including the problems with output iterators)
  * Template metaprogramming (including enable_if)
  * Boost.Exception
  * Fit and polish of code.
\\
Note: If you want a sense of the presentation, here is video (and slides) of an older version\\
