C++20: The Small Pearls - Rainer Grimm - CppCon 2021

By Adrien Hamelin | Jul 4, 2022 11:09 AM | Tags: c++20

Registration is now open for CppCon 2022, which starts on September 11 and will again 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 last year’s conference. Here’s another CppCon talk video we hope you will enjoy – and why not register today for CppCon 2022 to attend in person, online, or both!

C++20: The Small Pearls

by Rainer Grimm

Summary of the video:

C++20 has way more to offer than the big four concepts, ranges, modules, and coroutines.
Here are a few of the shining pearls.

The spaceship operation automatically creates the six comparison operators. Thanks to consteval, constinit, and improved templates, programming at compile time becomes more powerful. std::span supports safe access to contiguous memory blocks. An enhanced time library and a new type date. Comfortable formatting of data thanks to std::format. Easily synchronize or coordinate threats with semaphores or latches and barriers. An improved thread that maintains itself and supports interruption. Thanks to the synchronized output streams, write operations in the concurrent environment do not end in a mess.

Embracing Modern C++ Safely, Book Review

by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

C++11 has been around for around 11 years and C++14 for 8. From my experience, I see that even today, many companies struggle to use those standards in production in the most efficient way. As always, with new stuff came benefits, risks, and increased learning effort. Fortunately, with a new book written by top C++ Experts, we have a solid guide on what is safe and what might be problematic in Modern C++.

The book is called “Embracing Modern C++ Safely”.

Let’s see what’s inside...

PVS-Studio challenge: can you spot an error in C++ code?

By Andrey Karpov | Jun 29, 2022 12:16 PM | Tags: quiz pvs-studio code review bugs

PVS-Studio team made an entertaining quiz for you. Try to quickly find a bug in a code fragment. If you spot an error - click on it.

Challenge: can you spot an error in C++ code?

by Andrey Karpov

From the article:

You'll see ten code fragments. If you manage to find an error in under 1 minute, you score one point. The 1-minute limit is made on purpose. Otherwise you'll definitely find all errors — code fragments are short. Anyway, treat this quiz as a game, and not as a real test of your programming skills

by Sergey Vasiliev

From the article:

Now, you can use PVS-Studio to analyze projects on Unreal Engine 5. For the most part, projects on UE 5 are analyzed in the same way as projects on UE 4. The difference is described in the documentation.
