Structural Design Patterns in Modern C++ - Pointer to IMPLementation (Plmpl) - Part I

The video tutorial introduces the handle body idiom, also known as the Pimple idiom, and its applications in C++ programming. It demonstrates the creation of an Employee class with attributes and methods, highlighting the issues of file inclusion and recompilation when modifying class attributes. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of maintaining binary compatibility and suggests using the Pimple idiom to address these challenges. Future modifications to the Employee class are discussed, and the next lecture will cover the implementation of the Pimple idiom.
