A few days ago, we linked to Part 1. As noted there, although the article is labeled “A look at C++14,” not all of these papers are for C++14, and regardless of timeframe not all will be adopted. But it is a useful look at what’s on the commitee’s radar.

Part 2 has just been posted:

A look at C++14: Papers Part 2

This is the second part of my C++ Standardization Papers series. The first part has been received quite well, with more then 5k views in the first two days. Also isocpp.org, Phoronix, lwn.net, a lot of russian blogs and others have linked to it. There also was a nice discussion on reddit. Again, like in Part 1, I want to emphasize, that I only cover part of all papers in this blog post. Also not all of these papers are meant to be happening with C++14, modules & concepts for example are not going to be part of C++14 (at least this is highly unlikely). Still, I will cover those papers too, as some of them will be discussed in Bristol for sure. All papers can be found here.

Some words on C++14. C++14 is not going to be like C++11 changing the language a lot. Its more meant to enhance the language with libraries, and improve or provide bug fixes for C++11. That's why you could call C++14 a minor Standard, and the next major C++ Standard is C++17, at least you could see this as the current plan and road map for C++. But lets have a look at the papers: ...
