Future Work - C++ Snippets Punch List

Recent Reorganization ✅

• Repository restructuring - Moved from "odds-and-ends" to organized categories:
  • language-features/cpp20/ - C++20 specific features
  • language-features/cpp23/ - C++23 specific features
  • language-features/core/ - Core language features
  • system-programming/ - Low-level system code
  • examples/ - Educational/demo code
• Naming standardization - Consistent kebab-case naming
• Documentation updates - Updated README and tooling

Algorithm Additions

• Graph algorithms (dijkstra, A*, BFS/DFS, topological sort)
• String algorithms (KMP, Rabin-Karp, suffix trees/arrays)
• Dynamic programming (knapsack, longest common subsequence, edit distance)
• Sorting variations (heap sort, radix sort, counting sort)
• Geometric algorithms (convex hull, line intersection, closest pair)

Concurrency Enhancements

• Atomic operations examples with memory ordering
• Lock-free data structures (queue, stack, linked list)
• Coroutines with async I/O patterns
• Work-stealing scheduler implementation
• Memory models demonstration (acquire/release semantics)

Data Structure Expansions

• Trie/Radix tree implementations
• B-trees and B+ trees
• Red-black or AVL trees
• Heap variations (fibonacci heap, binomial heap)
• Graph representations (adjacency list/matrix)

Modern C++ Features

• C++23 features (std::mdspan, stacktrace, flat containers)
• Template metaprogramming advanced techniques
• SFINAE and type traits examples
• Perfect forwarding patterns
• Custom allocators implementation

System Programming

• Memory mapping (mmap examples)
• Inter-process communication (shared memory, pipes, message queues)
• Network programming (raw sockets, TCP/UDP servers)
• File system operations (directory traversal, file watching)

Performance & Optimization

• SIMD programming examples
• Cache-friendly algorithms
• Profiling and benchmarking utilities
• Memory pool allocators
• Branch prediction optimization examples
