I'm Proud to Present my New Book: C++20
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
I'm proud to present the early release of my book to C++20 on LeanPub. The book is 50 % done and has more than 300 pages and 150 code examples of content. I will update the book at least two times in 2021. Of course, you will get each update of the book
std::any - comparison with void* and motivating examples -- Hitesh Kumar
An introduction to std::any and comparison with void*.
std::any - comparison with void* and motivating examples
by Hitesh Kumar
From the article:
std::any is often compared with void* because the latter has been the de-facto choice for storing or passing the arbitrary objects in C++ since the outset. std::any is not a replacement of void*, but it is a safer substitute for the boilerplate patterns built around void*. Nevertheless, a comparison between the two is required for a better understanding of std::any.

Control when you need atomicity.
Atomic References with C++20

C++17 structured bindings for more safe, functional code
by Dmitrii Khizbullin
From the article:
The overall idea of this article is to showcase how to keep the scope (aka block) as clean as possible with C++17. By “clean” scope I mean two things:
- as few variables as possible,
- all variables are const as often as possible...

Feature Testing with C++20--Rainer Grimm
Use all that you can.
Feature Testing with C++20
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
When your program's compilation broke with a brand-new C++20 feature, you often end with a few questions: Did I something wrong? Did I found a compiler bug? Does my compiler not yet support this feature? Thanks to the feature testing in C++20, the last question is easy to answer...
Under the Covers of C++ Lambdas: Captures, Captures, Captures--Andreas Fertig
Lambdas.
Under the Covers of C++ Lambdas: Captures, Captures, Captures
by Andreas Fertig
From the article:
Lambda Capturing syntax allows us to quickly “wrap” a variable from the outside scope and then use it in the lambda body. We also know that under the hood the compiler translates lambda into a closure type… but what happens to those captured variables? Are they translated to public data members or private? See the newest guest post from Andreas to understand this tricky problem...

Safe Comparisons of Integrals with C++20
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
When you compare signed and unsigned integers, you may not get the result you expect. Thanks to the six std::cmp_* functions, there is a cure in C++20...
Capture *this in lambda expression: Timeline of change -- Hitesh Kumar
The current object (*this) capture in a lambda expression has gone through some changes since C++11.
Capture *this in lambda expression: Timeline of change
by Hitesh Kumar
From the article:
A lambda defined inside a non-static member function can directly access the members of the current object (or its copy) via an appropriate capture clause. But how the current object can be captured has gone through some changes since C++11.
