Episode 91 of CppCast the only podcast for C++ developers by C++ developers. In this episode Rob and Jason are joined by Odin Holmes to talk about the recent Embedded C++ development conference emBO++.
CppCast Episode 91: emBO++ with Odin Holmes
by Rob Irving and Jason Turner:
About the interviewee:
Odin Holmes has been programming bare metal embedded systems for 15+ years and as any honest nerd admits most of that time was spent debugging his stupid mistakes. With the advent of the 100x speed up of template metaprogramming provided by C++11 his current mission began: teach the compiler to find his stupid mistakes at compile time so he has more free time for even more template metaprogramming. Odin Holmes is the author of the Kvasir.io library, a DSL which wraps bare metal special function register interactions allowing full static checking and a considerable efficiency gain over common practice. He is also active in building and refining the tools need for this task such as the brigand MPL library, a replacement candidate for boost.parameter and a better public API for boost.MSM-lite.

About the conference:
ACCU 2017 is set to be bigger and better than ever, with keynotes from Herb Sutter, Frances Buontempo, Brad Chamberlain and Russ Miles. There are also Pre-Conference Tutorials available on Tuesday 24th April, and 5 parallel streams of informative presentations/discussions throughout the course of the week. With origins in the C User Group UK and the European C++ User Group, ACCU remains proud of its C and C++ heritage and is arguably the premier UK and European conference covering these languages. Whilst celebrating its C origins, ACCU also offers its polyglot programmers insight and new trends on native and other programming languages. It’s one not to be missed!
Reflections on the reflection proposals
Since the overview on the current papers for Kona, I wanted to know more about reflection...
Reflections on the reflection proposals
by Jens Weller
From the article
A few weeks ago I wrote a short overview over the most interesting papers for the current C++ Committee meeting in Kona, Hawaii. The big surprise was that there were many papers on reflection, while there already is a very detailed proposal for reflection.
With the C++ committee currently in Kona discussing lots of proposals, there will be some changes to the on going effort for reflection, but the current proposals are detailed enough to give an overview.
Generating Sequences
A virtual container.
Generating Sequences
By Anthony Williams
From the article:
I was having a discussion with my son over breakfast about C++ and Python, and he asked me if C++ had anything equivalent to Python's
range()function for generating a sequence of integers. I had to tell him that no, the C++ standard library didn't supply such a function, but there were algorithms for generating sequences (std::generateandstd::generate_n) into an existing container, and you could write something that would provide a "virtual" container that would supply a sequence as you iterated over it with range-for...
