Let's Talk About String Operations in C++17

In September our local C++ User Group started a “new year” of meetings after a little break in August. I had a pleasure to give a talk about string operations in C++17.

Here are the slides and additional comments.

C++ Links #6

Welcome to new C++ Links - most important and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 6th and 12th of October.

Today you will find a link to Core Guidelines rules about Concepts, a long article about C++17 class template deduction and a video that shows how inline keyword is taken into account by the compiler.
At the end, you will also find a bonus!

C++ Links #5

Welcome to new C++ Links - most important and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 29th September and 5th of October.

Conversions, Searchers and C++17 In Detail Updates

I’m happy to announce that last Friday I updated the book! “C++17 In Detail” grew by 31 pages (up to 250), includes two new chapters and lots of “bug” fixes and better explanations.

See what’s inside.

C++ Links #4

Welcome to new C++ Links - most important and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 22th and 28th of September.

This week CppCon took place - the biggest C++ conference. In today’s list, you will find the first video from there, about future of C++, you can also see a post about removing duplicate elements from associative containers and an example of really defensive programming.

C++ Links #3

Welcome to new C++ Links - most important and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 15th and 21st of September.

Today you will find a link to post about “same but different” objects in C++, a video showing what code compiler generates when you write a lambda, article about why you should always capture exception by const reference and many others.

Professional C++ 4th Edition, Book Review

As usually, C++ needs good books and up-to-date learning resources. In this review, I’d like to present a book that should significantly enhance your knowledge of Modern C++, including C++17.

Let’s see what’s inside.

C++ Links #2

Welcome to new C++ Links - most important and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happened between 8th and 14th of September. Today you will find a link to a post about the C++ quality of life features, a video with an explanation of the difference between const and constexpr, an article that describes some of SFINAE problems and many others.

How To Use std::visit With Multiple Variants

std::visit is a powerful utility that allows you to call a function over a currently active type in std::variant. It does some magic to select the proper overload, and what’s more, it can support many variants at once.

Let’s have a look at a few examples of how to use this functionality.

C++ Links #1

I'd like to make an experiment on the blog and introduce a new simple series. Each Friday you'll see a summary with valuable links and resources from the C++ World. The links and annotations are coming from a guest author - Wojciech Razik - one of the co-author of cpp-polska.pl.

Let's have a quick look at the best links for this week!

"C++17 In Detail" First Update

I’m happy to announce that just a few days ago I updated the book! “C++17 In Detail” grew by 7 pages (up to 219), includes a few new examples, new feature descriptions and lots of “bug fixes”.

See what’s inside.

Preprocessing Phase for C++17's Searchers

Searchers from C++17 are a new way to perform efficient pattern lookups. The new standard offers three searchers: default_searcher , boyer_moore_searcher and boyer_moore_horspool_searcher. The last two implements algorithms that require some additional preprocessing for the input pattern. Is there a chance to separate preprocessing time from the search time?

Speeding up Pattern Searches with Boyer-Moore Algorithm from C++17

With C++17 you can now use more sophisticated algorithms for pattern searches! Now, you’ll have more control and a promising performance boost for many use cases.

See what the options are.

C++17 In Detail Book!

I’m happy to present my first ebook on C++!

Here’s the short story and the description of what you can find inside.
