Alberto García Márquez will guide us through his lib Calculate and we will also elaborate on the use of some clang tools for refactoring, code format and so on at an entry level.

Ever wondered how the compiler generates code for your types?
Beyond the Type System
by Lucian Radu Teodorescu
From the article:
Often when we consider a type system we think about a complex formalism to denote the semantics of a language. Languages typically add features by increasing the complexity of the type system.
But there is also another perspective on the type system: how does the generated code look like? what is the ABI for the code that uses different features of the type system? We’ll try to explore this perspective in this blog post.

A unity build can cut down build times dramatically and is HIGHLY underrated and easily dismissed by many senior software engineers.
Everything about unity builds
by Viktor Kirilov
From the article:
In this post we will go over what it is, all its pros and cons, and why a “dirty hack” might be worth it if it speeds up your builds by at least a factor of 2 or perhaps even in the double-digits.

Have you registered for CppCon 2018 in September? Registration is open now.
While we wait for this year’s event, we’re featuring videos of some of the 100+ talks from CppCon 2017 for you to enjoy. Here is today’s feature:
Coroutines: what can't they do?
by Toby Allsopp
Summary of the talk:
Coroutines are coming. They're coming for your asynchronous operations. They're coming for your lazy generators. This much we know. But once they're here, will they be satisfied with these offerings? They will not. They will require feeding, lest they devour our very souls. We present some fun ways to keep their incessant hunger at bay. I, for one, welcome our new coroutine overlords.
The Coroutines Technical Specification is an experimental extension to the C++ language that allows functions to be suspended and resumed, with the primary aim of simplifying code that invokes asynchronous operations. We present a short introduction to Coroutines followed by some possibly non-obvious ways they can help to simplify your code.
Have you ever wanted to elegantly compose operations that might fail? Coroutines can help. Have you ever wished for a zero-overhead type-erased function wrapper? Coroutines can help. We show you how and more.

The Standard reserves the right to change the signatures and overloads of the existing Standard Library functions in what is considered a backward compatible way:
