CppCast Episode 28: C++ Concurrency with Anthony Williams

Episode 28 of CppCast the only podcast for C++ developers by C++ developers. In this episode Rob and Jason are joined by Anthony Williams to discuss some of the Concurrency features of C++.

CppCast Episode 28: C++ Concurrency with Anthony Williams

by Rob Irving and Jason Turner

About the interviewee:

Anthony Williams is a UK-based developer and consultant with many years of experience in C++. He has been an active member of the BSI C++ Standards Panel since 2001, and is author or coauthor of many of the C++ Standards Committee papers that led up to the inclusion of the thread library in the new C++ Standard, known as C++11 or C++0x. He was the lead maintainer of boost thread from 2006 to 2011, and is the developer of the just::thread implementation of the C++11 thread library from Just Software Solutions Ltd. Anthony lives in the far west of Cornwall, England.

This years C++ Committee papers sorted by mailing and subgroup

by Jens Weller

From the article:

I used to do overviews on all papers for a meeting, and when I find the time, I will do this for upcoming meetings again. I will try to post a best-of later, with all the good stuff on concepts, modules and more later. Currently I'm to busy, I just got back from CppCon, and will go to the Qt World Summit next week (meet me there!).

So, in the mean time you can take take a look for yourself, as what follows is the list off all papers submitted this year, sorted by mailings and then subgroups. My awesome paper crawler tool did finally its job correct...

2015-09 pre-Kona mailing available

The 2015-09 mailing of new standards papers is now available.

NOTE: A number of these papers have already been publicized on this blog. This is the complete list including ones not previously publicized.
