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.
Rainer Grimm, in his new post, describes some myths about C++, suggested by readers of his blog. For example - why using const reference for all passed parameters, it’s not the best idea:

fluentcpp.com/2019/09/03/the-demux-pipe/Everyone during coding in C++ asked himself at least once: “Why is the compiler trying to copy my move-only object?”. Botand Ballo is answering this question in his new article:
botondballo.wordpress.com/2019/09/03/a-case-study-in-analyzing-c-compiler-errors-why-is-the-compiler-trying-to-copy-my-move-only-object/Great article from Paweł Dziepak. He wrote a Ranges library (similar to range-v3) executed on GPUs, in which he deals with memory throughput, instruction latency, superoptimisers, intra-block and intra-warp thread synchronisation.

The links are brought to you through collaboration with Wojciech Razik.
Wojtek is a Senior C++ developer at Thaumatec, currently writing software for a face & iris recognition device. He enjoys reading C++ Standard before bed, and he loves to hate JS from dawn to dusk.
