Abstract

In this work we discuss usage of expression templates with features of modern C++ language standards. We give an evaluation model for expression templates that accounts for requirements of operator implementation functions. An algorithm for evaluation of expression templates in this model is presented with proof of its optimality. In conclusion we describe implementation methods that are necessary for implementing this algorithm on modern compilers.
