Braden++

Braden++ is a personal C++ blog focused on the practical edges of the language: template metaprogramming, compile-time evaluation, and compiler-specific behavior. Posts often begin from a concrete bug or limitation and then trace how it manifests across toolchains.

The core content is technical problem-solving. A representative article explains how to work around the inability to use generic lambdas at compile time in Clang, following an earlier piece on breaking MSVC and Clang with a template trick. The author documents what fails, why, and which workaround supports Clang 16 and onward.

This material suits experienced C++ developers, especially those maintaining cross-compiler libraries or supporting older compiler versions. Readers should be comfortable with templates, lambdas, and compile-time programming; newcomers will find the posts dense.

Use the archive and tags to find related compiler-specific write-ups, and read the preceding article first when a post is a follow-up. Expect occasional conference trip reports alongside the technical content. Overall, it is a niche but useful record of real compiler workarounds.
