by Jonathan Boccara
From the article:
Even though very convenient to write concise code, temporaries are an endless source of bugs in C++.
Are we allowed to use a temporary in a range based for loop?

What’s Next: A Roadmap for CLion 2021.2
by Anastasia Kazakova
From the article:
CLion 2021.1 is now released along with the first bug-fix update 2021.1.1 addressing some of the most critical issues which unfortunately squeezed through our testing procedures. We do hope you are enjoying the update now and giving the new data flow analysis, Makefile and dynamic analysis in remote mode, and C/C++ postfix completion a try. We are listening to your feedback carefully and planning the upcoming bug-fix updates accordingly. It’s also time to move forward and see what CLion 2021.2 may look like!

Predefined C++20 Concepts: Callables
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
Before you start implementing your custom concepts, it’s good to review some goodies in the Standard Library. There’s a high chance that there’s already a predefined concept for you.
Today let’s have a look at concepts related to callable objects...

Adding more readability.
A Default Value to Dereference Null Pointers
by Jonathan Boccara
From the article:
With C++17, modern C++ has acquired a nullable object: std::optional. optional has a pretty rich interface, in particular when it comes to handling null optionals.
On the other hand, the oldest nullable type in C++, pointers, doesn’t have any helper to make the handling of its nullity more expressive.
Let’s see what we can do about it, to make our code using pointers, smart or raw, easier to read...

New Static Analysis Rule for Bounds Checking
by Jordan Maples
From the article:
We have added a new experimental static analysis rule in Visual Studio 16.10 version Preview 3 – C26458, WARNING_PATH_SENSITIVE_USE_GSL_AT. The new warning is a more precise and less noisy version of warning C26446, WARNING_USE_GSL_AT. Both warnings analyse standard containers for unchecked element access and they both share the warning message: “Prefer to use gsl::at() instead of unchecked subscript operator (bounds.4).” This new warning, however, uses path sensitive analysis to track buffer size validation calls to provide a less noisy, more targeted warning compared to C26446...
