A new blog entry about parallelism and boost::future:
Using parallelism with boost::future
by Jens Weller
From the article:
... While I'm fine with that the application locks up kind of hard during writing a GB zip file (its only job), I'd like to be as fast as possible. Thats why I decided to parallelize the part of the application that reads the file paths via boost::filesystem...

Discussion about std::thread and RAII
by Ville Voutilainen
Excerpt:
C++ continues not to provide a thread type that would join() automatically on scope exit. This causes exception-safety problems, because failing to join() in all code paths causes the destructor of a std::thread to terminate(). This paper explores various ways to solve the problem.

A discussion on the possibility for C++ language support for pattern matching and variants.
C++ Language Support for Pattern Matching and Variants
by David Sankel
From the article:
The C++ Programming Language needs a language based variant, or at least P0095R0 argued for it at the 2015 Kona C++ standardization meeting. P0095R0, however, didn’t fully explore generalized pattern matching, which is another desirable feature that is highly related. This post explores some ways to generalize the minimal pattern matching described in P0095R0.
