Freestanding in Prague
by Ben Craig
From the article:
The C++ standards committee met in Prague, Czech Republic between Feb 10 and Feb 15. The standard is wording complete, and the only thing between here and getting it published is ISO process. As is typical for me at these meetings, I spent a lot of time doing freestanding things, Library Incubator (LEWGI) things, and minuting along the way (15-ish sessions/papers!)...

Move, simply
by Herb Sutter
From the article:
C++ “move” semantics are simple, but they are still widely misunderstood. This post is an attempt to shed light on that situation...

C++20: The Ranges Library
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
Thanks to the ranges library in C++20, working with the Standard Template Library (STL) will become much more comfortable and powerful. The algorithms of the ranges library are lazy, can work directly on the container and can easily be composed. To make it short: The comfort and the power of the ranges library are due to its functional ideas. Let me show you what that means...

Writing reliable and maintainable C++ software is hard. Designing such software at scale adds a new set of challenges. Creating large-scale systems requires a practical understanding of logical design — beyond the theoretical concepts addressed in most popular texts. To be successful on an enterprise scale, developers must also address physical design, a dimension of software engineering that may be unfamiliar even to expert developers. How do you do this?
Large-Scale C++ Volume I: Process and Architecture
by John Lakos
From the article:
Drawing on over 30 years of hands-on experience building massive, mission-critical enterprise systems, John Lakos lays the foundation for projects of all sizes and demonstrates the processes, methods, techniques, and tools needed for successful real-world, large-scale development.
Up to date and with a solid engineering focus, this book demonstrates fundamental design concepts with concrete examples.
This book, written for fellow software practitioners, uses familiar C++ constructs to solve real-world problems while identifying (and motivating) modern C++ alternatives.

My Favorite Unknown C++20 Feature
by Nathan Myers
From the article:
C++2020 was voted out yesterday, its final stamp of technical approval before it goes to ISO for legal certification. This is a big, big release, comparable to C++2011 a decade ago, that will change, again, how we write, and think about, our programs. The big features--Concepts, Coroutines, Modules--will get plenty of coverage elsewhere in the days ahead, but the myriad smaller features, taken together, may make as great a difference in the code that most of us will write...

Zero, one, two, Freddy's coming for you
by Andrey Karpov
From the article:
This post continues the series of articles, which can well be called «horrors for developers». This time it will also touch upon a typical pattern of typos related to the usage of numbers 0, 1, 2. The language you're writing in doesn't really matter: it can be C, C++, C#, or Java. If you're using constants 0, 1, 2 or variables' names contain these numbers, most likely, Freddie will come to visit you at night. Go on, read and don't say we didn't warn you.

Reverse For Loops in C++
by Carlos Buchart
From the article:
As we saw when working on dynamic bitsets, it can be useful to traverse a collection backwards, from its last element to its first one.
It would be nice to be able to use C++11 range for loops to iterate backwards. But unfortunately, there is no such reverse range-for: range-for only works forwards.
Let’s see how to traverse a collection backwards by using a range for loop...
