How does the C++ abstract machine really work at the lowest levels? Why does the committee design its rules the way they do? Gain insight into the object model of C++, from references to passing semantics to copy elision. C++ is a complicated language full of arcane rules and complicated tangents - learn how it's all tied together in this basic model of locations, objects, and values.
Nicole Mazzuca is a C++ and Rust programmer who is very interested in object models - she is helping to write the Rust object model, and as such has studied other object models heavily, especially C++'s.
