Complete Modern C++ - Type Traits (C++11)

This video introduces type traits in C++, which allow for type introspection and transformation at compile time. It explains template metaprogramming, a technique that uses the compiler to generate optimized code. The video provides examples of using type traits like is_integral and is_reference, and discusses how to perform type transformations with traits such as remove_reference. It also highlights the importance of compile-time type checking for performance optimization.

What are some examples of type traits that have been added in C++11 and C++14?

What is the role of the 'remove_reference' type trait in C++?

How can compile-time checks improve the performance of C++ code?
