Summary
This episode explores lesser-known features added to the C++17 standard library. Jason covers several additions including multi-line support in regex, index operators and reinterpret_pointer_cast for shared_ptr, as_const for adding const to references, and the to_chars/from_chars functions for efficient numeric conversions. He highlights how these new features might be overlooked but can provide valuable functionality, while also pointing out some limitations such as the lack of constexpr support in certain utility functions.
