Contract-Based Programming: C++26 Contracts and Beyond
The concept of Design by Contract (DbC) was introduced 40 years ago. With C++26, the language finally gains native support for contracts, enabling developers to write more robust code. However, this new feature has also sparked significant debate and is arguably one of the most controversial additions to the C++ language in recent years. This talk will take a deep dive into contract-based programming and design, exploring the underlying concepts and examining how they can be applied in real-world software development to produce better, more robust code.
