Do you know how to use initializer lists?
Bitesize Modern C++: std::initializer_list
by Glennan Carnie
From the article:
An aggregate type in C++ is a type that can be initialised with a brace-enclosed list of initialisers. C++ contains three basic aggregate types, inherited from C:
- arrays
- structures
- unions
Since one of the design goals of C++ was to emulate the behaviour of built-in types it seems reasonable that you should be able to initialise user-defined aggregate types (containers, etc.) in the same way...

Episode 22 of CppCast the only podcast by C++ developers for C++ developers. In this episode Rob and Jason are joined by David Stone to discuss his bounded integer library.
CppCast Episode 22: Bounded Integers with David Stone
by Rob Irving and Jason Turner
About the interviewee:
David Stone has spoken at C++Now and Meeting C++. He is the author of the bounded::integer library and has a special interest in compile-time code generation and error checking, as well as machine learning. He owns DoubleWise C++ Consulting, providing on-site training with an emphasis on performance and correctness. He also works at Markit integrating real-time financial data. He once wrote an optimizing compiler that solved the halting problem, and is just waiting for it to finish compiling his program.

The sixt part of my series takes a look at QWidgets and how to exchange data:
QWidgets and data
by Jens Weller
From the article:
The sixt part of my series about writing applications in C++ using Qt and boost is about my thoughts on widgets and how to interact with data from them.

Discussion about the vector<bool> and its standards conformance.
Why is libc++'s vector<bool>::const_reference not bool?
by Howard Hinnant
From the article:
The motivation for this extension, which is detectable by a conforming program, and thus non-conforming, is to make vector<bool> behave more like vector<char> with respect to references (const and otherwise).

An evolution of gcc occured:
C++ concepts support merged into gcc trunk
From the article:
I've been banging on the concepts branch for the past month after Andrew told me it was about ready to merge, fixing bugs and streamlining things there to get familiar with the code while I could still look at it as a whole rather than mixed in with the rest of the compiler. But I think I've reached diminishing returns and so I'm going to go ahead and merge it into the trunk...
