Are you using tuples?
Stupid std::tuple tricks: Getting started
by Raymond Chen
From the article:
The C++ standard library tuple is quite versatile. It’s a handy way of grabbing a bunch of types or values into a single unit, and the C++ standard library also provides a number of helpers to manipulate them...

Modules, coroutines, concepts, and ranges, oh my. Here comes C++ 20. The big four new features are getting all the buzz, but what about the smaller features?
C++20: The Unspoken Features
by Michele Caini
From the article:
What's new in C++ besides the big four? A lot of things. We certainly won't be able to see them all in one post. Among the most interesting (at least from my point of view) are the following:
- Designated initializers
- Spaceship operator
- Extended range-based for statement
- Pack expansions in lambda init-capture
- Template parameter lists on lambdas
- String literals as template parameters
- consteval and constinit keywords
- Constexpr containers
- Constexpr virtual functions

Usage and internals of std::enable_shared_from_this<T>:
enable_shared_from_this - overview, examples, and internals
by Hitesh Kumar
From the article:
Public inheritance from enable_shared_from_this<T> enables a class T to create additional shared_ptr instances to itself. Typically, enable_shared_from_this holds a weak_ptr to create shared_ptr on demand.

C++20: The Three-Way Comparison Operator
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
The three-way comparison operator <=> is often just called spaceship operator. The spaceship operator determines for two values A and B whether A < B, A = B, or A > B. You can define the spaceship operator or the compiler can auto-generate it for you...

On which Bjarne Stroustrup describes how C++ has managed to thrive despite many things
Thriving in a Crowded and Changing World: C++ 2006–2020
By Bjarne Stroustrup
From the article:
This paper focuses on the major changes to the ISO C++ standard for the 2011, 2014, 2017, and 2020 revisions.
The standard library is about 3/4 of the C++20 standard, but this paper’s primary focus is on language features
and the programming techniques they support.

QStringTokenizer merged for Qt 6.0
QStringView Diaries: Zero-Allocation String Splitting
by Marc Mutz
From the article:
I am happy to announce that the first QStringTokenizer commits have landed in what will eventually become Qt 6.0.
QStringTokenizer splits strings, with zero memory allocations, universally, and safely.
While the version in Qt will be Qt 6-only, KDAB will release this tool for Qt 5 as part of its KDToolBox productivity suite.

C++20: Further Open Questions to Modules
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
So far, I have written in my last four posts the basics you should know about modules in C++20. Only a few questions to modules are still open. In this post, I address these open questions, such as templates in modules, the linkage of modules, and header units.

C++20: Structure Modules
By Rainer Grimm
From the article:
When your module becomes bigger you want to divide its functionality into manageable components. C++20 modules offer two approaches: submodules and partitions. Let me discuss both approaches in this post.
