Interactive C++ for Data Science

by Vassil Vassilev, David Lange, Simeon Ehrig, Sylvain Corlay

From the article:

In our previous blog post “Interactive C++ with Cling” we mentioned that exploratory programming is an effective way to reduce the complexity of the problem. This post will discuss some applications of Cling developed to support data science researchers. In particular, interactively probing data and interfaces makes complex libraries and complex data more accessible users. We aim to demonstrate some of Cling’s features at scale; Cling’s eval-style programming support; projects related to Cling; and show interactive C++/CUDA...

Synchronization with Atomics in C++20--Rainer Grimm

Are you familiar with it?

Synchronization with Atomics in C++20

by Rainer Grimm

From the article:

Sender/receiver workflows are quite common for threads. In such a workflow, the receiver is waiting for the sender's notification before it continues to work. There are various ways to implement these workflows. With C++11, you can use condition variables or promise/future pairs; with C++20, you can use atomics...

Writing a custom iterator in modern C++ -- Internal Pointers

An experimental Forward Iterator written from scratch to boost up hand-made containers.

Writing a custom iterator in modern C++

by Internal Pointers

From the article:

Iterators are one of the building blocks of the Standard Library containers, but they are also useful when you want to provide the ability to iterate over elements of a custom container that you wrote yourself. Adding iterators to your containers will make them compatible with the range-based for loops and the C++ Algorithms library: a collection of functions for searching, sorting, counting and manipulating containers, based on iterators.

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.

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

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...
