Improved Iterators with Ranges
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
There are more reasons to prefer ranges library above the classical Standard Template Library. The ranges iterators support unified lookup rules and provide additional safety guarantees...

C++20 Ranges Algorithms - sorting, sets, other and C++23 updates
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
This article is the third and the last one in the mini-series about ranges algorithms. We’ll look at some sorting, searching, and remaining algorithms. We’ll also have a glimpse of cool C++23 improvements in this area.
Let’s go...

Sentinels and Concepts with Ranges Algorithms
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
The ranges library in C++20 supports sentinels. Sentinels stand for the end of a range and can be regarded as generalized end iterators...

Design Patterns VS Design Principles: Factory method
by Jonathan Boccara
From the article:
Let’s examine another design pattern in our “Design Patterns VS Design Principles” series, where we relate design patterns to design principles. Today, we focus on the Factory method design pattern.
We’ll see the various forms the Factory method design pattern can take, the differences with the Abstract Factory method, and to which design principle the Factory method pattern relates to...

Several Boost authors have embarked on a project to improve the performance of boost's associative containers.
Boost.Unordered
by boost.org
About the improvements:
Boost.Unordered's new implementation of std::unordered_map (and multimap, set and multiset variants), and to extend its portfolio of available containers to offer faster, non-standard alternatives based on open addressing.
The first goal of the project has been completed in time for Boost 1.80 (due August 2022). We describe here the technical innovations introduced in boost::unordered_map that makes it the fastest implementation of std::unordered_map on the market.

Embracing Modern C++ Safely, Book Review
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
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...

Projections with Ranges
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
The algorithms of the ranges library are lazy, can work directly on the container, and can easily be composed. But they have more to offer: projections. A projection is a mapping of a set into a subset. Let me show you in this post what that means...

Early Access to C++Now 2022 Videos
by Anastasia Kazakova
From the article:
C++Now is one of the most academic events in the C++ calendar. Up in the mountains for a week in Aspen, Colorado, attendees dive into all kinds of profound C++ topics, from new language features and proposals to libraries and tools. C++ chats start at breakfast and continue until late at night in the bar. As the conference describes itself, the C++Now participants pushe C++ to its limits and let the community know what C++ will look like tomorrow and what we can do with C++ now!

Whichever C++ article you read, it provides serious information, requires thoughtful reading — preferably with a cup of coffee. And what if you want to have fun? That's why I decided to write this humorous article with terrible coding tips. The main thing is not to confuse these tips with helpful ones!
50 terrible coding tips for a C++ developer
by Andrey Karpov
From the article:
I write articles about static analysis methodology and issues of creating high-quality code. But I wanted to fool around a bit. So please, welcome the article with 50 terrible coding tips. However, if you have more ideas how to create sh*tcode — share them in the comments. There's a chance that I'll post a new article and there might be 100 terrible coding tips
. In case you don't understand why some tip is called terrible, click the {link}. If there is no link, let me know. I'll share a more detailed explanation.
