Ruminations on lambda captures
by Ville Voutilainen
Excerpt:
The proposal for capturing *this by value (P0018) raised suggestions for a "true value capture", which led to suggestions to change capture-default that defaults to by-value capture([=]) in the case of capturing class members. This paper explores what the suggested changes to the capture-default might mean. This paper specifically doesn't try to claim that any of the changes would have an effect on any particular amount of existing code, and admits that the examples in this paper are somewhat concocted and for illustrative purposes only.

CppCast Episode 43: Compiler Explorer with Matt Godbolt
by Rob Irving and Jason Turner
About the interviewee:
Matt is a developer at trading firm DRW. Before that he's worked at Google, run a C++ tools company, and spent over a decade in the games industry making PC and console games. He is fascinated by performance and created GCC Explorer, to help understand how C++ code ends up looking to the processor. When not performance tuning C++ code he enjoys writing emulators for 8-bit computers in Javascript.
Using parallelism with boost::future
A new blog entry about parallelism and boost::future:
Using parallelism with boost::future
by Jens Weller
From the article:
... While I'm fine with that the application locks up kind of hard during writing a GB zip file (its only job), I'd like to be as fast as possible. Thats why I decided to parallelize the part of the application that reads the file paths via boost::filesystem...

Discussion about std::thread and RAII
by Ville Voutilainen
Excerpt:
C++ continues not to provide a thread type that would join() automatically on scope exit. This causes exception-safety problems, because failing to join() in all code paths causes the destructor of a std::thread to terminate(). This paper explores various ways to solve the problem.
