A complex problem.
Coercing deep const-ness
by Barry Revzin
From the article:
In C++, template deduction doesn’t allow for any conversion. A type matches the pattern, or it’s a deduction failure. But there’s one sort-of exception to this rule, and it’s an exception that everyone has taken advantage of...

Registration is now open for CppCon 2021, which starts on October 24 and will be held both in person and online. To whet your appetite for this year’s conference, we’re posting videos of some of the top-rated talks from our most recent in-person conference in 2019 and our online conference in 2020. Here’s another CppCon talk video we hope you will enjoy – and why not register today for CppCon 2021 to attend in person, online, or both!
A C++ Approach to Physical Units
by Mateusz Pusz
Summary of the talk:
This talk presents a new C++20 library for Dimensional Analysis and Physical Units handling. The essential requirements of the library are user-friendliness, compile-time safety, no runtime overhead, and easy extensibility. The syntax of the library is built around a few easy to learn concepts and strictly checked at compile time, which makes it easy to learn and very forgiving for the novice.
The talk presents motivating examples of why we need such a library, compares the library with other similar products on the market, describes the basic usage and interface, and highlights the benefits of the design choices made.
The talk is also a great showcase of practical usage of new C++20 features that make the library interface easier to use, maintain, and extend. Concepts, contracts, class types provided as non-type template parameters, and other C++20 features make a huge difference in how we can design Modern C++ code.

Ordering asynchronous updates with coroutines, part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5
by Raymond Chen
From the article:
I opined some time ago on the perils of holding a lock across a coroutine suspension point. But say you have a bunch of asynchronous activity that you want to serialize. How can you do that without a lock?
There are a few different scenarios in which you may need to protect asynchronous activity. We’ll look at them over the next few days...

Utah C++ Programmers has released a new video.
Audio Programming with BASS
by Richard Thomson
From the video description:
This month, Richard Thomson will give us an introduction to audio programming with the BASS library. Specifically, we'll look at this library with an eye towards playing back MOD music and triggering events during playback in response to interesting things happening during the score.
BASS is an audio library for use in software on several platforms. Its purpose is to provide developers with powerful and efficient sample, stream (MP3, MP2, MP1, OGG, WAV, AIFF, custom generated, and more via OS codecs and add-ons), MOD music (XM, IT, S3M, MOD, MTM, UMX), MO3 music (MP3/OGG compressed MODs), and recording functions. All in a compact DLL that won't bloat your distribution.

Meeting C++ reveals on which online platform the conference and the online C++ User Group will be hosted this year.
Choosing Hubilo as an online platform for Meeting C++ 2021
by Jens Weller
From the article:
During July and August I did compare many online platforms, to choose the one to host this years online conference and the events of Meeting C++ online in. The winner is Hubilo.
Its been a difficult and time consuming process to compare the various platforms and get a feel for what online events will have a look and feel in 21/22 when choosing a certain platform. I'd like to be able to host all formats of the online User Group in one platform: the talks, the panels and especially the online fairs for C++ jobs/recruiting and tooling. This years conference will host all these event types too!
