http://CppCon.org — Presentation Slides, PDFs, Source Code and other presenter materials are available at: https://github.com/cppcon/cppcon2016 — This presentation will describe how we bootstrapped a C++11/C++14 environment from the ground up, to essentially provide the ability to execute “user-space” like applications inside the Linux and Windows kernel. We leveraged this C++ environment and the Standard Template Library (STL) to create the first open source, cross platform, cross architecture, hypervisor that can support both baremetal (i.e. type 1) and late launch (i.e. type 2) virtualization models. Topics include the benefits of using C++ over C when creating a hypervisor as well as how we handled compilation, module loading, global constructor / destructor support, and of course, full exception support. If you have ever wondered how C++ works under the hood, or are interested in learning more about C++, this presentation is for you. — Rian Quinn Assured Information Security, Inc.
