I previously discussed the mixin technique for C++, where layers are used to construct types from reusable classes. As the stacks of layers grow in size, it becomes tedious to pass arguments to the different layers. At first, I used a big struct to hold each an every argument I ...

I would like to highlight a technique in C++ called mixin layers and present a use case, where it is very useful.

Mixin layers is a template-based design, where the layers are used a building blocks to quickly construct applications with reusable code. My favourite example is a networking application ...

My first attempt used the obsolete AF_INET and SOCK_RAW protocol arguments to the socket call, but this didn ...
