ACCU’s Overload journal of August 2019 is out. It contains the following C++ related articles.
Overload 152 is now available
From the journal:
Reactive or Proactive.
Reactive systems are all the rage. Frances Buontempo compares them with a proactive approach.A Low-Latency Logging Framework.
Logging can be a bottleneck in systems. Wesley Maness and Richard Reich demonstrate a low-latency logging framework that avoids common problems.Empty Scoped Enums as Strong Aliases for Integral Types.
Scoped enums have many advantages. Lukas Böger demonstrates their use as strong types of numbers.C++ Reflection for Python Binding.
There are various approaches to generating Python bindings in C++. Russell Standish shows how Classdesc can be used to achieve this.Trip Report: Italian C++ 2019.
Milan held Italy’s largest C++ conference. Hans Vredeveld reports back.Afterwood.
Many people are risk-averse. Chris Oldwood considers this position – in verse.

17 Smaller but Handy C++17 Features
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
When you see an article about new C++ features, most of the time you’ll see a description of major elements. Looking at C++17, there are a lot of posts (including articles from this blog) about structured bindings, filesystem, parallel algorithms, if constexpr, std::optional, std::variant… and other prominent C++17 additions.
But how about those smaller parts? Library or language improvements that didn’t require decades to standardise or violent “battles” at the ISO meetings.
In this article, I’ll show you 17 smaller C++17 things that will improve your code...

And the next one.
Combining Ranges and Smart Output Iterators
by Jonathan Boccara
From the article:
In our current stage of development of smart output iterators, we have:
- some iterators, such as filter, transform, unzip or demux,
- the possibility to combine them: filter(pred) >>= transform(f) >>= unzip(back_inserter(output1), back_inserter(output2))
- their usage as the output iterator of an STL algorithm:
std::copy(begin(inputs), end(inputs), transform(f) >>= back_inserter(outputs));What we’re going to work on today is removing the call to std::copy to have a pipeline made of output iterators only. And once we get such a pipeline, we will plug it to ranges, in order to benefit from the expressiveness of both ranges and smart output iterators, in the same expression...
