With the next version of C++.
Compose and curry as folds
by Nick Athanasiou
From the article:
In a previous post we introduced C++17 fold expressions and described a way to extend them for arbitrary callables. Implementation details don’t matter for what we’re elaborating on here but it should be clear that (given the tools we developed) the following is possible:
(Op<F>(args) + ...) (... + Op<F>(args))

Peeking into the latest ISO C++ Standard Meeting for a half-day
by Marco Arena
From the article:
At the end of October we organized the C++ Day, an event entirely dedicated to C++, made by the Italian C++ Community that I lead and coordinate. If you feel like reading some lines about the event, have a look here. It was a great day!

An example of a refactoring where variadic templates were used.
Variadic Templates and a Factory Function
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
Variadic Templates from C++11 is probably not a feature that you use on a daily basis. But recently, I’ve come across one refactoring example where I’ve decided to give a try and apply variadics.

Guaranteed Copy Elision deserves some attention!
Guaranteed Copy Elision
by Jonas Devlieghere
From the article:
The new C++17 standard brings many exciting new features. A smaller, more subtle improvement it brings is guaranteed copy elision. The keyword is guaranteed, as copy elision itself has always been part of the standard. Although it might not be a change as radical as, say, structured bindings, I'm very happy to see it made it into the standard.

Try using IIFE to do a complex initialization of a const variable.

IIFE for Complex Initialization
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
How do you initialize your variables, especially the const ones? What do you do when the code for the initialization is complicated? Do you move it to other method or just write inside the current scope?

The new GoingNative is out!
GoingNative 54: What's New In Visual Studio 2017 RC and Introduction To Vcpkg
by Steve Carroll, Augustin Popa and Bryan DiLaura
From the video:
This episode of GoingNative comes to you in two parts:
First, Steve chats with Augustin Popa about the latest and greatest features in Visual Studio 2017 RC. Please try it out and let us know how you like it! For deeper dives on specific features, feel free to watch the Connect(); videos, or read about it on the Visual C++ Blog.
Second, Robert Schumacher talks about the new open source Windows package manager, Vcpkg. Vcpkg has been picked up enthusiastically by the community with a growing collection of supported libraries (90+ at the time this video was posted).

Compilation time computations are good!
Demystifying constexpr
by Edouard from quasardb
From the article:
C++ 11 and C++ 14 came with a lot of new features. People tend to focus on lambdas and rvalue references, but today I’d like to talk about constexpr.
In this post we'll only talk about constant expressions as in C++ 14. There is absolutely no point to restrict yourself to C++ 11 in 2016. C++ 14 is really C++ 11 Service Pack 1, so if you missed the update, go straight to C++ 14!

- C language support: C11 keywords support including auto-completion.
- Remote GDB debug on Windows platform.
- New approach to CMake project model: allows you to select the generation directory, open a project from an existing generation folder, and more.
- Automatic switching of resolve context per build/run configuration change.
- Semantic highlighting in the editor.
- For Unreal Engine developers: plugin for better completion for Unreal Engine 4 sources, 3rd party plugin for CMake generation, and performance improvements for project re-opening in CLion.
- Doxygen tparam tag support.
- Various VCS improvements.
