Comparison Operators: Breaking Change in C++20
by Barbara Geller and Ansel Sermersheim
About the video:
C++20 added a feature for the compiler to auto generate comparison operators which is often referred to as the spaceship operator. We found a way this can break existing code when supplying your own comparison functions. Watch our video to find out how this can happen in your existing code which has never used the spaceship operator before.

After reading this article, you will learn the following: ways to extend the lifetime of a temporary object in C++, various tips and tricks; pitfalls of the lifetime extension that a C++ programmer may face.
Lifetime extension of temporary objects in C++: common recommendations and pitfalls
by Evgeny Neruchek
From the article:
You can extend the lifetime of a temporary array by referencing one of its elements. C++ has a special mechanism for this. But I would recommend you using it only in the disputes with your co-workers (and maybe in metaprogramming with the old C++ standards), since this mechanism is not so easy-to-use. However, using this mechanism does not result in dangling references, and the lifetime of the temporary array is extended to the lifetime of the reference to its element.

FOSSA was founded to provide the most relevant and real-time end-to-end governance for all third-party code. They now announce the general availability of C and C++ Security and License Scanning
Announcing the GA of C and C++ Security and License Scanning
By Gauthami Polasani
From the article:
Unlike other C/C++ scanning tools, FOSSA does not take a one-solution-fits-all approach to dependency identification in such a complex and layered ecosystem. FOSSA uses multi-pronged strategies (as described below) to accurately identify dependencies and surface security and license risks — regardless of how the code is included.).
