Algorithms	Designing A Generic and Modular C++ Memoizer 15 Oct 2017 Updated: 24 Oct 2017 Rating: 4.88/5 Votes: 8 Popularity: 4.41 Licence: CPOL Views: 18,054 Bookmarked: 14 Downloaded: 150 Please Sign up or sign in to vote. This article examines some of the use cases for memoization and shows that a tightly-coupled implementation does not scale well to new applications. It then presents a modular design for a C++ memoization framework that is generic, efficient and extensible to new applications.

C++	Generic Algorithms on Runtime Types in C++ Through Type Erasure 3 Oct 2017 Updated: 13 Oct 2017 Rating: 4.87/5 Votes: 23 Popularity: 6.64 Licence: CPOL Views: 25,773 Bookmarked: 31 Downloaded: 0 Please Sign up or sign in to vote. This article describes a C++ technique called type erasure and shows that it can be used to write generic algorithms on runtime types. It then examines the relationship between type erasure and other forms of polymorphism through the notion of type compatibility.
