Can you pack 8 bools into one BYTE efficiently?
Packing Bools, Performance tests
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
The simple problem of packing seems to show a lot of performance issues. If the packing is really needed? Can we make the code parallel? What are the branching effects here?

Have you registered for CppCon 2017 in September? Don’t delay – Registration is open now.
While we wait for this year’s event, we’re featuring videos of some of the 100+ talks from CppCon 2016 for you to enjoy. Here is today’s feature:
The Evolution of C++ Past, Present and Future
by Bjarne Stroustrup
Summary of the talk:
This is a philosophical talk. It deals with ideals, aims, and ways of approximating those. It deals with practical constraints and risks. It gives short examples. It presents a perspective of what drives the evolution of C++. What is C++ and what it must become over the next years for its success to continue? This involves both social and technical points. Towards the end, I discuss the direction of C++ future evolution, give some opinions, point to urgently needed new features, and discuss how to manage until they are part of the standard.

Join us to gain practical experience of writing C++ for real-time and embedded systems in Swindon, UK.
C++ for Embedded Developers
About the course:
This course is designed for:
- real-time engineers embarking on a project using C++ for the first time
- developers looking to move from C to C++ (as it will clearly demonstrate both the strengths and weaknesses of C++ vs. C)
Course overview
The course introduces the C++ language for use on real-time and embedded applications. It highlights areas of concern for real-time and embedded development. The focus is on developing core object-oriented programming skills and understanding of how to build effective, maintainable and efficient C++ programs.
Attendees perform hands-on embedded programming, on target hardware, during course practicals. Approximately 50% of the course is given over to practical work.
Course objectives
- To provide a solid understanding of the essentials of the C++ programming language.
- To give you practical experience of writing C++ for real-time and embedded systems.
- To give you the confidence to apply these new concepts to your next real-time project.
Delegates will learn
- The core C++ syntax and semantics
- How to access hardware in the language
- How to program interrupt handlers in C++
- About memory and performance issues associated with C++
- How real time operating systems (RTOS) affect the use of the language

There's a new video course published in the Pluralsight library, designed to take the learners from zero to being productive with basic elements of modern standard C++:
Learning Modern C++ from Scratch
by Giovanni Dicanio
From the blog post:
C++ is a language having a reputation of being hard to learn.
In this C++ course of mine published by Pluralsight, I did my best to prove the opposite: C++ can be learned in a simple, interesting, and fun way!
I used a variety of engaging visuals, metaphors and example demo code to try to teach modern, clear, good C++ from scratch, from the beginning, without any previous programming knowledge.
And, even if you already know C++, you may have fun watching this course as well.

Share what you've learned about C++.
Call for Submissions
by CppCon
From the announcement:
Have you learned something interesting about C++, maybe a new technique possible in C++14/17? Or perhaps you have implemented something cool related to C++, maybe a new C++ library? If so, consider sharing it with other C++ enthusiasts by giving a regular program talk at CppCon 2017.
The submissions deadline is June 11 with decisions sent by July 12.
