ACCU Trip report
by Kate Gregory
From the article:
In early April I was lucky enough to go to Bristol in the UK for the annual ACCU conference. This has been an aspirational conference for me, one I attended before speaking at and am always delighted to attend. This year I was invited to keynote, and it turned out to be the closing keynote, which meant I was not done with all my talks until the conference was over! Nevertheless I enjoyed the week tremendously...

So you should send them.
Top Ten Reasons To Send Your Developers to CppCon (or any C++ Conference)
by Jon Kalb
From the article:
Sending software engineers to conferences is both a time and money expense, but conferences exists because they provide value to attendees and companies that send them. Some of the value may be obvious, some may not. Here is a list of the top business reasons to send your developers to CppCon or any other C++ conference...

Quick A: a way to remove copying objects in certain case, improving performance and reducing the constraints on a class (no copy or move needed).
Recently on SO:
What are copy elision and return value optimization?
Copy elision is an optimization implemented by most compilers to prevent extra (potentially expensive) copies in certain situations. It makes returning by value or pass-by-value feasible in practice (restrictions apply).
It's the only form of optimization that elides (ha!) the as-if rule - copy elision can be applied even if copying/moving the object has side-effects...

Conference Report: ACCU 2019
by Quentin Balland
From the article:
I had the pleasure to attend to the ACCU2019 at Bristol which was my first cpp centred conference (the first of a long series I hope :p) and it was amazing in a different aspect.
It is a 4 days conference that occurs every year between March and April in the Marriott hotel in Bristol.
Amazing people, very inclusive and easy to talk to everyone!
