Multithreading is a tough nut in software development. Not just because there are dozens of ways to approach a single problem, but also since one can get so many things wrong.
In this article, I want to present how to realize the concept of a Looper with Dispatchers in C++17.
In this post, I’ll show you how to use the newest, low-level, conversion routines form C++17. With the new functionality, you can quickly transform numbers into text and have super performance compared to previous techniques.
They say “performance is king’… It was true a decade ago and it certainly is now. With more and more data the world generates each day, we need more and more computing power to process it.
It used to be the case that some SW vendors preferred to wait for a new generation of HW to speed up their application and did not spend human resources on making improvements in their code. When it’s no longer the case that each HW generation provides a significant performance boost, we must start paying more attention to how fast our code actually runs.
In the previous post about lazy initialisation, we showed examples and differences between using raw pointers, unique_ptr and std::optional to store the object and create it later. However, we implemented the samples from the perspective of single-threaded scenarios.
In this post, we’ll try to fill the gap and show you how to make your lazy objects available in a multithreading environment.
Following the pattern for other ISO C++ Meetings, I prepared a blog post where you’ll learn about:
Let’s start!
Welcome to new C++ Links - most relevant and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 25th October and 1st November 2019.
Today you will find links to articles about refactoring, the story of std::less, what is lazy initialization and why you should learn C++. Let’s start!
Lazy initialisation is one of those design patterns which is in use in almost all programming languages. Its goal is to move the object’s construction forward in time. It’s especially handy when the creation of the object is expensive, and you want to defer it as late as possible, or even skip entirely.
Keep reading and see how you can use this pattern with the C++ Standard Library.
What do you do when the code for a variable initialization is complicated? Do you move it to another method or write inside the current scope?
In this blog post, I’d like to present a trick that allows computing a value for a variable, even a const variable, with a compact notation.
To write a professional C++ application, you not only need a basic text editor and a compiler. You require some more tooling. In this blog post, you’ll see a broad list of tools that make C++ programming possible: compilers, IDEs, debuggers and other.
Two weeks ago, I had a pleasure to give a talk at our local C++ User Group in Cracow. This time I spoke about vocabulary types from C++17: std::optional, std::variant and std::any.
Have a look at the slides and extended comments.
Last week was an important milestone for my book: it got a print version available at Amazon! In this post, I’ll share some details behind the event and the plans.
Welcome to new C++ Links - most relevant and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 6st and 13th September 2019.
Today you will find links to an article about how to implement StringConvertible concept, how to get started with Modern C++, an article about issues with C++20 Ranges, new books and many other!
Welcome to new C++ Links - most relevant and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 31st August and 6th September 2019.
Today you will find links to a video about raw string literals, myths about C++ good practices, a Ranges library on GPU and more.
Last week’s article about smaller C++17 features mentioned updated operator new() that handles non-standard alignment of objects. How does it work? Can you use it to ask for arbitrary alignments? Let’s try some code and have a closer look.
