C++20 Concepts — Complete Guide

by Šimon Tóth

From the article:

One of the well deserved common complaints about C++ is the low quality of compiler errors. Both GCC and Clang made a lot of progress to improve the situation in the past 10 years, but templated code is one area where they can’t really help...

Highlighting the free Student and Support tickets for Meeting C++ 2021

From the article:

With the talk listing published, and the schedule coming soon, I'd like to highlight the student and support tickets for Meeting C++ 2021.

For a few years now Meeting C++ has hosted programs to give students, underrepresented folks and those who can't afford a ticket access to the conference. This is supported through the ticket sales and some times sponsorships...

CppCon 2019 Compiled C++ Coding Standards--Valentin Galea

Registration is now open for CppCon 2021, which starts on October 24 and will be held both in person and online. To whet your appetite for this year’s conference, we’re posting videos of some of the top-rated talks from our most recent in-person conference in 2019 and our online conference in 2020. Here’s another CppCon talk video we hope you will enjoy – and why not register today for CppCon 2021 to attend in person, online, or both!

Compiled C++ Coding Standards

by Valentin Galea

Summary of the talk:

Coding conventions, guidelines and standards are a perennial effort of software development. Lots of work goes into preparing and writing them but arguably less in following them - partly because these are documents usually maintained outside of main development, so they evolve separately and often retroactively.

We will show a novel model whereby the coding standard chosen by a team is a 'live' source code file integrated into a production repository so that it participates in compilation. This immediately brings a couple of advantages that we will explore in detail, as well as the implications it has in the context of a full team of developers.

As a practical example, the coding standard files of Splash Damage - a game development company - will be shown and discussed, detailing the various C++ aspects they deal with it and the techniques encouraged therein. Going further than the code, we'll talk about the human factor and how standards are written, evolved and championed across a large company in the face of different constraints between projects and teams.

C++20 String Formatting Library: An Overview and Use with Custom Types

by Marc Gregoire

Summary of the talk:

C++20 introduced a nice formatting library with std::format(). This session will explain what the formatting library provides, how to use all of its functionality, and most importantly, how you can customize it so that you can use formatting strings that include your very own custom types and custom formatting parameters, and of course, how to handle errors.

Coercing deep const-ness--Barry Revzin

A complex problem.

Coercing deep const-ness

by Barry Revzin

From the article:

In C++, template deduction doesn’t allow for any conversion. A type matches the pattern, or it’s a deduction failure. But there’s one sort-of exception to this rule, and it’s an exception that everyone has taken advantage of...
