This article does not treat buffers directly, but rather two operations that are commonly performed with buffers: filling a buffer with a value and copying between buffers and various containers.

This article treats memory buffers in C++, but with two twists: first, the buffers are generic, which means they can contain typed data. Second, the buffers are as efficient as their hosted type and the host operating system allows, in every aspect.

Explains what export is, and how it's intended to be used. Also looks at the problems export is widely assumed to address, and why it does not in fact address them the way most people think.

This article presents the class variant_t, which encapsulates a mechanism to hold values of arbitrary types.

Looks at why befriending a template in another namespace is easier said (in the standard) than done (using real-world compilers that don't quite get the Standard right).

Presents a handy template that makes it easy to check casts without losing performance.

Looks at function templates and how they can be used to provide hooks for customizing behavior.

Takes a look at the current state of export and offers some advice on using export effectively.
