Let's talk a bit about one of the most used Abseil parts:
Abseil Strings Library
by Yury Fedorov
From the article:
Abseil is an open source solution from Google that implements many basic and very helpful construction blocks for C++. Thanks to Abseil you may create a great isolation layer from your version of C++ compiler. In this article I will focus on few common functions from one of the most used Abseil libraries:
absl::strings.

The "Safely Tome" has landed, and we have a review from the author of C++ Stories:
Review of Embracing Modern C++ Safely (Lakos, Romeo, Khlebnikov, Meredith)
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the review:
C++11 has been around for around 11 years and C++14 for 8. From my experience, I see that even today, many companies struggle to use those standards in production in the most efficient way. As always, with new stuff came benefits, risks, and increased learning effort. Fortunately, with a new book written by top C++ Experts, we have a solid guide on what is safe and what might be problematic in Modern C++.
The book is called “Embracing Modern C++ Safely”.
Let’s see what’s inside...

C++23 is done!
C++23 "Pandemic Edition" is complete (Trip report: Winter ISO C++ standards meeting, Issaquah, WA, USA)
by Herb Sutter
From the article:
On Saturday, the ISO C++ committee completed technical work on C++23 in Issaquah, WA, USA! We resolved the remaining international comments on the C++23 draft, and are now producing the final document to be sent out for its international approval ballot (Draft International Standard, or DIS) and final editorial work, to be published later in 2023...
... Per our published C++23 schedule, this was our final meeting to finish technical work on C++23. No features were added or removed, we just handled fit-and-finish issues and primarily focused on finishing addressing the 137 national body comments we received in the summer’s international comment ballot (Committee Draft, or CD). You can find a list of C++23 features here, many of them already implemented in major compilers and libraries. C++23’s main theme was “completing C++20,” and some of the highlights include module “std”, “if consteval,” explicit “this” parameters, still more constexpr, still more CTAD, “[[assume]]”, simplifying implicit move, multidimensional and static “operator[]”, a bunch of Unicode improvements, and Nicolai Josuttis’ personal favorite: fixing the lifetime of temporaries in range-for loops...

Lambdas
Modern C++ In-Depth — Lambdas, Part 3
by Michael Kristofik
From the article
In our last installment, we examined how lambdas work and how they help simplify code. Now let’s build on that knowledge to see how we might store a collection of lambda expressions.

The Toggle Builder
by Marco Arena
From the article:
If intended for general usage, the builder can result a bit uncomfortable when we go through some configuration object to toggle features. This often leads to a bunch of ifs..

Numbers are not easy
by Šimon Tóth
From the article:
Arguably one of the most error-prone parts of C++ is integral and floating-point expressions. As this part of the language is inherited from C, it relies heavily on fairly complex implicit conversion rules and sometimes interacts unintuitively with more static parts of C++ language.
This article will cover the rules and several surprising corner cases one can encounter when working with integral and floating-point types and expressions...

The Rule of Zero, or Six
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
The rule of zero, or six, is one of the advanced rules in modern C++. I wrote in my current book "C++ Core Guidelines Explained: Best Practices for Modern C++" about them. Today, I want to quote the relevant parts of my book in this post...
