C++ is a vital part of particle physics as it allows for high level abstractions while offering state of the art performance. In this article we will first introduce the C++ 20 concepts, a major C++ usability enhancement. We will then introduce Kiwaku, a new multidimensional arrays library taking advantage of the most advanced C++ features at the time of writing, providing the user with intuitive API while retaining state of the art performance. Multidimensional arrays are a basic building block for many scientific experiments and simulations, and particle physics is no exception. Using examples borrowed from Covfie and ACTS libraries, and using data from the ATLAS CERN experiment, we will show how Kiwaku offers good usability while having a negligible impact on performance compared to using classic C++ std::arrays.

Smart pointers play an important role in bypassing memory leaks in C++. Since C++11 standard the smart pointers have become widely-used tools because they let the programmers not to deal with memory deallocation. However, abstraction penalty occurs because of this convenience. Overhead is related to runtime, memory usage and compilation time. There are many different smart pointers in the standard library. However, the performance difference between the smart pointers and raw pointers is not measured before. This paper presents an analysis of their effectiveness. An alternative approach to the C++17's optional construct is searched for.
