C++ coroutines: Getting started with awaitable objects--Raymond Chen

So many possibilities!

C++ coroutines: Getting started with awaitable objects

by Raymond Chen

From the article:

Coroutines were added to C++20, and Lewis Baker has a nice introduction to them.

  • Coroutine theory.
  • Understanding operator co_await.
  • Understanding the promise type.

But I’m going to write another one, taking a more practical approach: The least you need to know to accomplish various coroutine tasks...

C++20: Concepts, the Details

by Rainer Grimm

From the article:

In my last post C++20: Two Extremes and the Rescue with Concepts, I gave the first motivation for concepts. Concepts put semantic constraints on template parameters. Today, I present different use-cases for concepts in a compact form...

Named Template Arguments--Barry Revzin

It's coming!

Named Template Arguments

by Barry Revzin

C++, unlike many other programming languages, doesn’t have named function parameters or named function arguments. I hope it will someday, it’s a language feature that I find has large benefits for readability. Until then, in C++20, we actually have the ability to do a decent approximation not only of named function arguments but also named template arguments...

How C++17 Benefits from Boost Libraries, Part Two

by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

As you know, Boost libraries give us a vast set of handy algorithms, types and features that we don’t have in the Standard Library. Many functionalities were “ported” into core C++. For example, in C++11 we got std::regex, threading and smart pointers..

How C++17 Benefits from Boost Libraries, Part One

by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

In today’s article, I’ll show you battle-tested features from the well-known Boost libraries that were adapted into C++17.

With the growing number of elements in the Standard Library, supported by experience from Boost you can write even more fluent C++ code.

Read on and learn about the cool things in C++...
