Five Awesome C++ Papers for San Diego

In two weeks there will be a next C++ Committee meeting. This time the group of C++ experts will travel to San Diego, and they will discuss the shape of the upcoming C++ Standards. As far as I know, the meeting will hold a record in the number of submissions! So it seems that the session will be quite exhausting :)

Here’s my list of five exciting papers that will be discussed during the meeting. I tried to pick something less popular, and usually smaller than significant features like modules, concepts or ranges.

C++ Links #7

Welcome to new C++ Links - most important and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 13th and 19th of October.

Today you will find links to all proposals that will be discussed in the upcoming Standard Committee meeting in San Diego, a video explaining why C++ is not an object-oriented programming language and many more!

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?
