P0206R0: Discussion about std::thread and RAII -- Ville Voutilainen

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.

C++ Language Support for Pattern Matching and Variants -- David Sankel
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.
