Design and evaluation of C++ open multi-methods

Distributions.jl: Definition and Modeling of Probability Distributions in the JuliaStats Ecosystem

“…The parameters of each distribution are accessed through exposed methods, while common operations are defined as non-member functions, thus sharing a similar syntax with single dispatch. 2 Design and implementation proposals for a multiple dispatch mechanism in C++ have been investigated in Pirkelbauer, Solodkyy, and Stroustrup (2010) and described as a library in Le Goc and Donzé (2015), which would allow for more sophisticated dispatch rules in the Boost distribution interface. This paper is organized as follows.…”
