Hi all, I have been on airplanes for the last 10 weeks in a row, starting with CPPCON 2016 on September 16 2016. But first, I wanted to update everyone on the latest status of the C++ Standard meeting from Issaquah on Nov 7, 2016. Here is a blog post where you can see a video of what is coming for C++17 and download the slides. You can also see what happened in Issaquah for Evolution, Parallelism, Concurrency, and the latest status of the National Body Comments:

C++ 17 Transformation...--phantom

By Adrien Hamelin | Dec 7, 2016 11:48 AM | Tags: experimental basics

The transformation is only a beginning towards catching up from C++98, but it does show why modern C++ features improve your code.

C++ 17 Transformation...

by phantom

From the article:

I'm basically really bad at working on my own projects, but with the recent release of Visual Studio 2017 RC and its improved C++17 support I figured it was time to crack on again...

To that end I've spent a bit of time today updating my own basic windowing library to use C++17 features. Some of the things have been simple transforms such as converting 'typedef' to 'using', others have been more OCD satisfying...

Basic dependent typing -- Krzysztof Ostrowski

By fj | Dec 5, 2016 04:09 AM | Tags: c++11 basics

Using fundamental types to do "simple things simple" fits very well in the most of cases.

Basic dependent typing

by Krzysztof Ostrowski

From the article:

If we assume that our application uses only a subset of values carried by given fundamental type, we are likely to get warning from the compiler. We shall take that warning seriously. How to inform type system about our assumptions? Example solutions follow.
