How concepts can be used in template programming for partial specialization

C++ template programming is a feature that allows the programmer to write generic, type independent code for which the type will be filled in at compile time. Using concepts, a programmer can define requirements and constraints for template types. As a result, it becomes much easier to specialize or restrict templates based on type information. And if those restrictions are violated, there will be a clean compiler error.

I am a former professional software developer (now a system admin) with an interest in everything that is about making hardware work. In the course of my work, I have programmed device drivers and services on Windows and linux.

I have written firmware for embedded devices in C and assembly language, and have designed and implemented real-time applications for testing of satellite payload equipment.

Generally, finding out how to interface hardware with software is my hobby and job.
