Berkeley C++ Meetup #6: Developing C++ @ Facebook Scale
Developing C++ @ Facebook Scale
Presented by Mark Isaacson
Wednesday, October 5th, 2016
7:00 p.m.
ICSI Lecture Hall
Abstract:
Writing correct C++ is hard. Period. Full stop. Even if a small change to a simple 2,000-line program compiles, has tests, and passes the tests, the code might still be broken. When the code spans hundreds of thousands of files across many different projects, making sure your change is safe is orders of magnitude harder. This talk is about all of the things that make that problem manageable for a Facebook engineer to tackle.
