Journey to the Alps: Participating in the C++ Standardization Process

Recently on the Spot blog:

Trip Report: Journey to the Alps -- Participating in the C++ Standardization Process

by Nathan Wilson

From the article:

... At Spot Trading, we currently utilize many of the C++11 features -- lambdas, keyword auto, nullptr, move operations, constexpr, range based for loops, explicit overrides, atomic operations, threading, futures, and new pointer types. Bjarne Stroustrup has said that we want to be able to continue to make simple things simple. These features of the language, mentioned above, certainly do that...

A coding dojo for Meeting C++

I've just added something new to Meeting C++:

A coding dojo for Meeting C++

by Jens Weller

From the article:

I've just added something new to this years Meeting C++ schedule: a coding dojo...

Shortly after the announcement of this years conference Sven Johannsen and Detlef Wilkening approached me at a user group meeting, if it would be possible to include a coding dojo into Meeting C++. coding dojos are fun, and we already had two at my own user group, so I liked the idea. But first wanted to see how the general audience would vote on it as part of the talks.

The Idea was received well, but couldn't get high enough to justify a talk session being used. So, now the coding dojo will be placed in the lunch break of the first day. As this break is a bit longer anyway, you are able to have lunch and participate in the coding dojo. It will be moderated by Detlef Wilkening and Sven Johannsen.

Demystifying C++ lambdas

by Feabhas

From the article:

Lambdas are one of the new features added to C++ and seem to cause considerable consternation amongst many programmers. In this article we’ll have a look at the syntax and underlying implementation of lambdas to try and put them into some sort of context.

C++14 Is Out! -- Jose Daniel García

By Blog Staff | Aug 25, 2014 09:36 AM | Tags: None

A view from our primary ISO representative from Spain, commenting on C++14's approval one week ago and providing a nice set of highlights showing what's new.

C++14 Is Out!

Jose Daniel García 

From the article:

After the long process that took a decade to produce C++11, the standards committee tried to define a more streamlined process to deliver updates and new versions of the C++ language and its standard library more frequently. The first target was to produce a new version for 2014. Now we can say that we have achieved the milestone.

... So, what’s new in C++14? In the language itself you will find a bunch of new/improved features. If you ask which is the most relevant new feature, the most common answer you may get is “generic lambdas”...
