Abstract
Generic programming is a paradigm whose wide adoption by the C++ community is quite recent. In this scheme most classes and procedures are
parameterized, leading to the construction of general and efficient software
components. In this paper, we show how some design patterns from
Gamma et al. can be adapted to this paradigm. Although these
patterns rely highly on dynamic binding, we show that, by intensive use of
parametric polymorphism, the method calls in these patterns can be resolved
at compile-time. In intensive computations, the generic patterns bring a
significant speed-up compared to their classical peers.
