Type-Safe Interfaces with Modern C++ - std::string_view – Introduction

The video introduces the concept of CD string view, a class in C++17 that provides a lightweight, non-owning reference to a contiguous sequence of characters. It explains the implementation, usage examples, and potential safety issues when dealing with scope and memory management. The video also covers the semantics of string views, emphasizing their reference nature and compatibility with various string types, while highlighting limitations with C-style functions. The video concludes with a preview of the next topic on string view interfaces.
