Trip Report: Autumn ISO C++ Standards Meeting (Belfast)

by Herb Sutter

From the article:

A few minutes ago, the ISO C++ committee completed its autumn meeting in Belfast, Northern Ireland, hosted with thanks by clearpool.io, Archer-Yates, Microsoft, C++ Alliance, MCS Group, Instil, and the Standard C++ Foundation. ...  this week we resolved 73% of the national body comments, and made good progress on most of the rest... This means we are in good shape to ship the final text of the C++20 standard at high quality and on time, at the end of the next meeting in February in Prague.

Why PE need Original First Thunk(OFT)?

by Milad Kahsari Alhadi

From article:

Let me summarize a lot of things for you here. When you load a Library, for example, Milad.dll and then try to call a function from that like MPrint, dynamic loader of the windows operating system has to resolve the address of the MPrint function and then call it.

AndyG shows us how Ranges and Coroutines make lazy expression evaluation easier in C++20.

We don't need no stinking expression templates

From the article:

In C++20, we finally get ranges (po896), which all but deprecates our need for expression templates.

Hi-perf dependency injection revisited

Phantom lambda type, partially applied class template, and deduction guides to support dependency injection

by Krzysztof Ostrowski

From the article:

Hi-perf dependency injection with construction of an injected type out of the user-defined lambda expressions. Minimal overhead, great benefits.

C++20 span tutorial

by Paul Silisteanu

From the article:

According to the latest C++20 draft, a span is a non-owning view over a contiguous sequence of objects. In other words, a std::span is, in essence, a pointer, length pair that gives the user a view into a contiguous sequence of elements. The elements of a span can be, for example, stored in one of the standard library sequential containers (like std::array, std::vector), in a built-in C-style array or in a memory buffer...

C++ 20: The Core Language

by Rainer Grimm

From the article:

My last post C++20: The Big Four started with an overview of concepts, ranges, coroutines, and modules. Of course, C++20 has more to offer. Today, let's continue my overview of the core language...

A Universal Async Abstraction for C++ -- Corentin Jabot

Executors - of which P0443R11 is one of the latest iterations - is poised to be the most fundamental library addition to C++23.

A Universal Async Abstraction for C++

By Corentin Jabot

From the article:

What is it about?

It is first and foremost a quest to find the most basic building blocks on top of which one could build asynchronous, concurrent and parallel code, whether it be on a small chip or a supercomputer with thousands of CPUs and GPUs.

This is not an easy task and has kept many experts and many companies busy for many years.

Yes. I need the memory management and need it better, than the standard library provides.

WIMSL: advanced memory management.

by Sergey Strukov

From the article:

This article describes some advanced memory management features, badly missed in the C++ standard library.
