C++11 and Boost

By Meeting C++ | Oct 17, 2013 10:11 AM | Tags: intermediate experimental c++11 boost advanced

What issues arise when combining C++11 and (older) Boost code that has pre-standard versions of C++11 features?

C++11 and Boost

by Jens Weller

From the article:

Some parts of the Standard Library in C++11 are predated in boost. When playing around with C++11, you get used to using some parts in the Standard Library that are used in C++03 with their boost counterpart. Also, there is some libraries now occuring, which are C++11 based, so interfacing with either boost or C++11 code is soon an issue.

Working Draft, Technical Specification — Array Extensions

by Lawrence Crowl

Excerpt:

This Technical Specification specifies requirements for implementations of various extensions for arrays to the C++ language and library. Included are:

arrays of runtime bound: The core language is extended to permit run-time computation of the bound of an array with automatic  storage duration.

class dynarray: The library is extended with a class that specifies an array size only on construction.

No Runtime Overhead

by Bulldozer00

From the article:

Unless I really need shared ownership of a dynamically allocated object, which I haven’t so far, I stick to the slimmer and more performant std::unique_ptr. ...

Out Parameters, Move Semantics, and Stateful Algorithms -- Eric Niebler

By Blog Staff | Oct 15, 2013 06:35 AM | Tags: intermediate efficiency c++11

In this article, Eric Niebler discusses an issue of API design regarding the age-old question of out parameters versus return-by-value, this time in light of move semantics. He uses std::getline as his example.

Out Parameters, Move Semantics, and Stateful Algorithms

by Eric Niebler

From the article:

I think getline is a curious example because what looks at first blush like a pure out parameter is, in fact, an in/out parameter; on the way in, getline uses the passed-in buffer’s capacity to make it more efficient. This puts getline into a large class of algorithms that work better when they have a chance to cache or precompute something.
