"C++20: The Advantages of Modules" by Rainer Grimm
http://www.modernescpp.com/index.php/cpp20-modules

"Modules are one of the four big features of C++20: concepts, ranges,
coroutines, and modules. Modules promise a lot: compile-time
improvement, isolation of macros, the abolition of header files, and
ugly workarounds."

Visual C++ has for several versions had experimental support for modules.

So you can try it out.

I haven't tried it though.

In article <r9falf$15u$1...@dont-email.me>,

So, you are saying that modules promises these things:

1) compile-time improvement
2) isolation of macros
3) the abolition of header files
4) ugly workarounds

Good. I'm there.

The quotes indicate that it is not Lynn McGuire but Rainer Grimm
who is saying that.
