The “unsigned” Conundrum
by Tony “Bulldozer00” DaSilva
From the article:
A few weeks ago, CppCon16 conference organizer Jon Kalb gave a great little lightning talk titled “unsigned: A Guideline For Better Code“. Right up front, he asked the audience what they thought this code would print out to the standard console:
Even though -1 is obviously less 1, the program prints out “a is not less than b“. WTF?

Following the core guidelines is becoming easier.
C++ Core Check code analysis is included with VS “15”
by Andrew Pardoe
From the article:
Visual Studio “15” Preview 5 now includes the C++ Core Guidelines Checkers. This means you no longer have to install the C++ Core Check package from NuGet to check your code against rules and profiles in the C++ Core Guidelines. Just configure Code Analysis to include the C++ Core Check extensions.

Article covering "camomilla", a Python script designed to post-process heavily-template-based C++ errors in order to make them easier to read.
camomilla: C++ error simplification script
by Vittorio Romeo
From the article:
camomilla uses simple text transformations to make gcc and clang errors smaller and easier to read. [...] The main text transformation used by camomilla to prevent full expansion of templates is "template typename collapsing", which hides nested typenames up to a user-specified depth. [...] The two other current transformations offered by camomilla are simple regex replacements that can act on namespaces or generic symbols. They can be defined in .json configuration files (which can recursively include each other!) [...] camomilla helps with [continuously transforming the same error] by automatically caching the last processed original error, so that the user can play around with different transformations and options.

rest_rpc is developed using modern c++. The first version was released after several iterations and refactoring. rest_rpc is an easy to use, flexible, high-performance, cross-platform RPC framework.
Features of rest_rpc
- RPC call just like local function call
- Easy to use: developers only need to focus on business
- Flexible: the serialization method can be freely customized, default support json，msgpack
- Supports synchronous and asynchronous calls

Today a new version of DLib is available:
DLib 19.2 released
Release notes
by Davis King
From the article:
... So the obvious thing to do was to add an implementation of MMOD with the HOG feature extraction replaced with a convolutional neural network. The new version of dlib, v19.2, contains just such a thing. On this page you can see a short tutorial showing how to train a convolutional neural network using the MMOD loss function. It uses dlib's new deep learning API to train the detector end-to-end on the very same 4 image dataset used in the HOG version of the example program. Happily, and very much to the surprise of myself and my colleagues, it learns a working face detector from this tiny dataset.
