Producer-consumer with buffer swapping -- Krzysztof Ostrowski
Synchronisation cost minimisation technique explained based on the classic producer-consumer problem.
Lock less with swapped buffers
by Krzysztof Ostrowski
From the article:
Presented approach keeps the shared resource synchronised, but unblocks the producer execution for the time of the buffer items' consumption to achieve significant gain in overall performance of the solution and its reliability.

C++17: Initializers for if & switch statements--Marc Gregoire
Small reminder:
C++17: Initializers for if & switch statements
by Marc Gregoire
From the article:
Two small, but very useful C++17 features are initializers for if and switch statements. These can be used to prevent polluting the enclosing scope with variables that should only be scoped to the if and switch statement. The for statement already supports such initializers since the beginning...
Quick Q: Is (4 > y > 1) a valid statement in C++? How do you evaluate it if so?
Quick A: This is not a valid statement.
Recently on SO:
Is (4 > y > 1) a valid statement in C++? How do you evaluate it if so?
The statement (4 > y > 1) is parsed as this:
((4 > y) > 1)The comparison operators < and > evaluate left-to-right.
The 4 > y returns either 0 or 1 depending on if it's true or not.
Then the result is compared to 1.
In this case, since 0 or 1 is never more than 1, the whole statement will always return false.
