Type Erasure
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
Type erasure based on templates is a pretty sophisticated technique. It allows you to bridge dynamic polymorphism (object orientation) with static polymorphism (templates).

The second C++ online job fair will be on May 3rd/4th organized by Meeting C++.
Meeting C++ is looking for employers for the job fair in May
by Jens Weller
From the article:
A call for employer participation in the online C++ job fair in beginning of May.
If you have open positions to fill and/or are looking for C++ talent, don't miss the chance to hire through Meeting C++ events! Sponsors of the event will be listed in the CV Sharing form at Meeting C++ and receive CVs submitted by candidates directly through Meeting C++. This brings the advantage that you reach the many candidates that could not make it to the event. Further your logo and a paragraph or two about your company are listed on the website and advertised on social media. Free tables have 4 instead of 8 seats and will be listed below the sponsors. The free option is limited to the time of the event and companies can only participate twice with the free option. The last event had 71 candidates apply to the various sponsors of the event.

Thinking of introducing std::string_view in your existing ATL/MFC C++ code base?
Adventures with string_view: Making string_view Play Well with ATL/MFC CString
by Giovanni Dicanio
From the blog post:
So, problem solved? Nope. Don’t forget that this is C++!
And things can get more “interesting” when you apparently solved one problem.

More about Dynamic and Static Polymorphism
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
In my last post "Dynamic and Static Polymorphism", I introduced dynamic polymorphism. Today, I continue with static polymorphism and present are very interesting idiom in C++: curiously recurring template pattern (CRTP).

The devil is in the details.
Zero-cost exceptions aren’t actually zero cost
by Raymond Chen
From the article:
There are two common models for exception handling in C++. One is by updating some program state whenever there is a change to the list of things that need to be done when an exception occurs, say, because a new exception handler is in scope or has exited scope, or to add or remove a destructor from the list of things to execute during unwinding. Another model is to use metadata to describe what to do if an exception occurs. There is no explicit management of the state changes at runtime; instead, the exception machinery infers the state by looking at the program counter and consulting the metadata...

Windows Registry programming using the native C API is cumbersome and bug-prone. Fortunately, you can simplify that using a modern C++ library like WinReg.
Simplifying Windows Registry Programming with the C++ WinReg Library
by Giovanni Dicanio
From the blog post:
WinReg is a modern C++ library that exposes a high-level public interface to simplify the access to the Windows Registry.

Why do you think?
Twitter thread
by Jeremy Ong
From the thread:
With all the discussion on the STL, I wanted to make a quick thread to summarize the main reasons why many AAA studios (correctly) opt out of the STL. This isn't to say the STL isn't for *anyone*, but the reasons to avoid using it aren't unfounded either...
