Meeting C++ 2021: looking for sponsors

by Jens Weller

From the article:

With the online platform being selected, its finally time to open the call for sponsors for Meeting C++ 2021!

Sponsoring is an easy way to support the work of Meeting C++, as my work is mostly funded through the ticketsales and sponsorships of the yearly Meeting C++ conference. So maybe your employer is interested in sponsoring Meeting C++ 2021?

CppCon 2020 Building an Intuition for Composition--Sy Brand

By Adrien Hamelin | Sep 6, 2021 01:45 PM | Tags: community

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!

Building an Intuition for Composition

by Sy Brand

Summary of the talk:

If you're fed up of reading articles about "monads" and "endofunctors" that don't give you an understanding of how they can actually help your C++ programming, this talk is for you.

Function and data composition are becoming increasingly important in C++ due to features like ranges, continuable futures, and new error handling techniques. Using real-world examples and C++ programming idioms, I'll help you build an intuition for the mathematical concepts which underpin these so that you can make the most of them in your code and build your own abstractions built on the same foundations.

Why do you need the MISRA Compliance report and how to generate one in PVS-Studio?

If you are strongly interested in MISRA and would like to understand whether your project meets one of the MISRA association's standards, there is a solution. It's name is MISRA Compliance.

Why do you need the MISRA Compliance report and how to generate one in PVS-Studio?

by Nikolay Mironov

From the article:

To make this simpler, let's take rule 1.1 that has the standard value of the category equal to Required. If you look at the table, you can see that acceptable compliance values for Required are Compliance or Deviations (I'll talk more about the meaning of these statuses later). This means that if your project complies with rule 1.1, or if it complies with this rule with some deviations - everything is fine and you can go to the next rule. If you get at least one hit in Violations or Disapplied, then the project does not comply with MISRA C 2012. If all rules have acceptable values only, congratulations! Your project complies with the MISRA C 2012 standard. If you have a hit in the red zone (the table above), you do not comply with the standard.

Back to Basics: Virtual Dispatch and its Alternatives

by Inbal Levi

Summary of the talk:

Code efficiency is one of the strongest features of modern C++, therefore broadly used in industries with a need for high performance, such as Real-Time or Embedded Systems.

In this talk, we will go through the search for high run-time efficiency using the dispatch mechanism.

We will start by providing tools for understanding and estimating run-time performance cost.

Next, we'll analyze a test case, and dive into some of the most fundamental components of the language such as inheritance, and templates.

We will continue by introducing implementations which produce high run-time efficiency code such as CRTP, std::variant and visitor, and use them to maximize performance.

Finally, we will do benchmarking and draw conclusions, and try to answer the question -
How can we use C++ ideally for achieving high-performance efficiency?

A listing of the upcoming C++ User Group Meetings in September

C++ User Group Meetings in September 2021

by Jens Weller

From the article:

The monthly overview about upcoming C++ User Group Meetings in September. As the pandemic ends or continues, depending in which part of the world you live, I list again all meetings online and real world.

Meeting C++ online hosts two events in September:

    16.9 C++ UG Meeting C++ online - September - Windows, macOS and the Web: Lessons from cross-platform
    28.9 C++ UG Meeting C++ online - Online C++ job fair (afternoon CEST)
    29.9 C++ UG Meeting C++ online - Online C++ job fair (evening CEST)

Meeting C++ is still looking for employers to participate in the online job fair, register your spot with in the next days to be best visible for this event.
