CppCon 2022 is just a month away! Here's an update on the Diversity Dinner and workshop, with a CfP for mini-talks:

CppCon 2022 Call For Proposals Diversity Dinner

by Timur Doumler

From the announcement:

We’re happy to announce the Call For Proposals for our Diversity Dinner Event at CppCon 2022!

This year, CppCon’s Diversity Dinner, which will be held on-site at the Gaylord Rockies in Aurora on Wednesday, September 14th, will be expanded to include a workshop to discuss processes, experiences, and paths forward for improving diversity and inclusion in the C++ community.

We are planning a series of 10-minute mini-talks, and we would like you to present at the event! Please submit your mini-talk proposal here by 28 August 2022. You will be notified about the acceptance decision soon afterwards.

The 10-minute mini-talks should be relevant to our audience. While any proposals on the topic of diversity and inclusion in the C++ community are welcome, this year we would like to focus particularly on the empowerment of our attendees. For example, great topics would be anything from “What did I learn from my experience as a deaf software developer” to “How to negotiate to get a 30% raise” or “What’s the best way to get everyone’s input in a diverse team”. Feel free to share your experience, thoughts, and tips!

Whether you’d like to be a presenter, or just attend the Diversity Dinner, listen, and participate in the discussion, please make sure you register for CppCon and book your ticket for the Diversity Dinner. We look forward to seeing many of you there!

CppCon 2022 keynote: Erik Rainey, "Using C++14 in an Embedded 'SuperLoop' Firmware"

From the announcement:

Using C++14 in an Embedded “SuperLoop” Firmware

This presentation covers what the execution environment of an embedded “superloop” firmware is in order to describe later why certain C++14 language and library features are used and others are not. This environment lacks many basic features and capabilities that traditional C++ programmers may think are common place but is able to be programmed in C++14 (and later) with a specific design paradigms and guidelines. Programmers with deeply embedded C experience will be familiar with some of the limitations of the environment but may find the C++ solutions quite refreshing! The talk will conclude with some comments on C++17 / C++20 features which will be quite valuable to embedded environments of all types.

CppCon 2022 registration is now open so don’t miss out this September 11-16. Register today! Tickets are now available for both online attendees and in-person attendees.

CppCon 2022 Keynote: Contemporary C++ in Action -- Daniela Engert

By Blog Staff | Jul 21, 2022 03:51 PM | Tags: None

The third CppCon 2022 keynote has been announced! Daniela Engert is the world's top guru on C++ modules who isn't one of the compiler implementers, and will speaking about modules and so much more:

Daniela Engert live in person at CppCon 2022

Daniela Engert will be in Aurora, live in person to deliver a keynote that takes us on a journey through modern C++.

Daniela has been building computers and creating software for over forty years, with thirty years in the field of applied digital signal processing. Her recent focus has been on modules and helping developers best understand them and their application in C++20.

Here is her talk description:

Contemporary C++ in Action

This talk is different from typical conference presentations. Instead of focussing on one particular topic I want to take you with me on a journey where I put various pieces from the C++ landscape together into a small application and show how they fit together beautifully. My goal is to debunk the myth that the committee is looking to please experts and library developers instead of making life easier for the many developers in the trenches. This is not slideware, at the end of our tour the code will compile and run with some entertaining result.

On this journey, I will be visiting modules (using modularized popular libraries and others that constitute the app), do some network programming with coroutines (based on ASIO executors, as there are no C++ standard executors yet), slip in one or two of the flagship C++23 features, like explicit object parameters or some of the new library stuff, and season the stew with items from recent C++ standards. It’s a tiny application using techniques that an average programmer in the embedded or industrial world (like me) might find useful. The code I’ll show also contains very tiny fragments of condensed or simplified sources in active development taken from our in-house codebase – old and trusted, but thrust into the modern age.

Registration is now open so don’t miss out on CppCon 2022 this September 11-16. Register today! Tickets are now available for both online attendees and in-person attendees.

CppCon 2022 opening keynote: Bjarne Stroustrup, live in person

bjarne-s-300x271.jpgCppCon 2022 will kick off on Monday, September 11 with Bjarne Stroustrup delivering the traditional opening keynote live in person in Aurora. Bjarne’s annual opening keynote for CppCon is one of the most anticipated and most watch talks in C++, and among the most viewed presentations on the CppCon YouTube Channel. Registration is open attend in person to be in the room for this keynote, to watch and submit questions live online, or do both...

Opening 2022 Keynote: C++ in Constrained Environments

Bjarne Stroustrup, live in person

C++ is widely used in constrained and/or critical applications and infrastructure components. How do we manage to use a large multi-purpose language in such environments? How can we better use facilities and techniques from modern C++ (C++11, C++14, C++17, C++20, and beyond)? The best answer is not “use only facilities available in C and C++ in 1985.”

This talk focuses on a top-down approach to achieve simplicity, maintainability, performance, and various forms of safety. It touches upon the C++ Core Guidelines, compile-time computation, type-and-resource safety, type deduction, the span and chrono standard libraries, and error handling.

Every year, Bjarne Stroustrup gives an important C++ talk in his CppCon opening keynote. Be at CppCon again this year, on-site or on-line, as Bjarne Stroustrup flies us above this complex landscape of issues and shines a spotlight on the most important things to know, and to think about, in C++ in 2022. This year we aim to leave extra extended time for real-time questions and answers with the live audience. Come to the talk, bring your questions, and don’t miss out!

Registration is now open for both online and in-person attendees so don’t miss out on CppCon 2022 this September 11-16. Register today!

A CppCon 2022 talk has been announced:

Herb Sutter live in person at CppCon 2022

From the announcement:

C++ Complexity: The Subtle Culprits ("Simplifying C++" #9 of N)

“What makes C++ so complex, and what can we do about it?” In past talks, Herb has already done deep dives on most of the major causes of C++’s complexity and potential directions for solutions.

In this brand-new talk, we delve into the “long tail” of subtle culprits… many of which turn out to be related by a common theme...
