Curiously Recurring Template Pattern(CRTP) in C++ is definitely a powerful technique and a static alternative to virtual functions. But at the same time, learning it may seem a bit weird at first. If you are like me who struggled to grasp anything in one go. Then this article might help you to provide a thought process on where CRTP fits in day-to-day coding. And, if you are an Embedded Programmer, you may run into CRTP more often. Although, std::variant + std::visit will also help but 90% of the compilers for embedded processors are either not up to date with standard or dumb.
There is various material effectively accessible for “How” and “What” on CRTP. So, I will address the “Where” part that CRTP Applicability.
