"the sad state of debug performance in c++" by Vittorio Romeo

"By now, it should (hopefully) be common knowledge that the term “zero 
cost abstraction” is a lie. To be fair, it’s more of a misnomer – had 
the term been “abstraction likely to result in zero runtime overhead 
after optimizations” then it would have been much more honest, but I can 
see why that didn’t fly…"

"Most C++ developers tend to accept the fact that “zero cost 
abstractions” provide zero runtime overhead only with optimizations 
enabled, and that they have a negative impact on compilation speed. The 
same developers tend to believe that the benefits of such abstractions 
are so valuable that having your program perform poorly in debug mode 
(i.e. without optimizations enabled) and compile more slowly is worth it."

"I used to be one of them."

He is not wrong.
