The interface between a library and its users is a major design consideration for every developer, and has been evolving greatly over C++’s lifetime.
In this talk, we will review important topics to take under consideration when designing a library. We will then go over different methods for connecting generic library code with user-side specific code, commonly known as Customization Points. We will cover the benefits and downsides of different methods (including CTS, ADL, Concepts, CTOs, and the latest to be considered - tag_invoke), and present future directions for these mechanisms.

At the end of the talk, you’ll have a toolset for designing your next library, and will be familiar with the terminology and developments in this field, including the ones planned for C++26 and C++29
