Can I use this to modernize an existing legacy project?

Yes, the skill is specifically designed to identify legacy C++ patterns and replace them with safer, more modern alternatives like range-based loops and smart pointers.

Which C++ standards does this skill support?

This skill provides comprehensive coverage for features introduced in C++11, C++14, C++17, and C++20.

Does this skill require a specific compiler?

The skill generates code based on modern standards; however, your local environment must have a compiler (like GCC, Clang, or MSVC) that supports the targeted C++ version.

How does this skill help with code performance?

It implements modern patterns such as move semantics and Rvalue references, which significantly reduce the overhead of unnecessary object copying.

What is the benefit of using C++20 Concepts through this skill?

Concepts allow you to define requirements on template arguments, leading to much clearer code and more descriptive compiler error messages.
