Overview of this book

Reactive programming is an effective way to build highly responsive applications with an easy-to-maintain code base. This book covers the essential functional reactive concepts that will help you build highly concurrent, event-driven, and asynchronous applications in a simpler and less error-prone way. C++ Reactive Programming begins with a discussion on how event processing was undertaken by different programming systems earlier. After a brisk introduction to modern C++ (C++17), you’ll be taken through language-level concurrency and the lock-free programming model to set the stage for our foray into the Functional Programming model. Following this, you’ll be introduced to RxCpp and its programming model. You’ll be able to gain deep insights into the RxCpp library, which facilitates reactive programming. You’ll learn how to deal with reactive programming using Qt/C++ (for the desktop) and C++ microservices for the Web. By the end of the book, you will be well versed with advanced reactive programming concepts in modern C++ (C++17).

The key concerns of the C++ programming language


As far as developersare concerned, the three key concerns that C++ programming language designers keep in mind were (and still are) as follows:

  • Zero Cost Abstraction - No performance penalty for higher level abstraction
  • Expressivity - A user defined type (UDT) or class should be as expressive as built-in types
  • Substitutability - A UDT can be substituted wherever built-in-types are expected (as in generic data structures and algorithms)

We will discuss these briefly.

Zero cost abstraction

The C++ programming language has always helped developers to write code that exploits the microprocessor (on which generated code runs) and also raise the level of abstraction when it matters. While raising the abstraction, the designers of the language have always tried to minimize (almost eliminate) their performance overhead. This is called Zero Cost Abstraction or Zero Overhead Cost Abstraction. The only notable penalty you pay is the cost of indirect calls...
