Welcome to new C++ Links - most important and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 4th and 10th of May 2019.
Today you will find a link to a video that shows how Uniform Container Erasure will simplify erasing elements from containers, link to an introduction to modules, and tutorial how to change boost::filesystem to std::filesystem.
New post on bfilipek.com, by Scott Furry, about migration from boost::filesystem to
std::filesystem. The author shows differences - starting from linking flags to tiny details, e.g. difference in path reverse iterator:
