Meeting C++ and Meeting Embedded trip report
by Conan C/C++ Package Manager
From the article:
On Wednesday, before Meeting C++, we attended and presented a talk at Meeting Embedded, a new conference about many topics related to embedded systems. C++ and C had a relevant role in this conference, obviously (accordingly to Dan Saks statistics around 60% in embedded code is C, then around 20% is C++, followed by assembly), but where other topics presented, like Rust, protocols for embedded (MQTT), academic and professional education, real-time systems.
We did our own talk Continuous Integration of C/C++ for embedded and IoT with Jenkins, Docker and Conan, which went quite well, especially considering that we were running a real demo, live updating the embedded code in a Raspberry PI, that was built with Docker in Jenkins, using cross-compiled (from Windows) packages, and uploaded to Artifactory, all of that done in the live demo...

Pacific++ 2018: C++ Past vs. Future
by Titus Winters
From the video:
Over the last 35 years, C++ has remained a constant fixture in the programming landscape. With advancements in the language through C++11, 14, and 17, we've created new dialects that have breathed new life into C++. With C++ Core Guidelines and a rich community of authors and speakers providing guidance on C++, it is easier now to steer clear of problem areas and hopefully stay in the "good parts" of the language.
Or at least, that's what we'd like. In practice, many habits of C++ programmers are unsafe and will be hard to keep working. The triple perils of ADL, ODR, and ABI leave a wide assortment of pitfalls for code maintenance. Many systems happen to work, but perhaps more out of luck than actual correctness.
How do we explain this dichotomy? How is the language better than it ever has been, and at the same time so dangerous and burdened with silent pitfalls and legacy? Can the standard evolve over time to reduce these perils? More importantly: should it?
In this talk I'll remind people of how precarious most C++ code is in the face of change (like advancing to a new language version), and discuss the most fundamental issue facing the committee these days: how to balance between the legacy code of the past and the yet-to-be-written code of the future.

The schedule for the new C++ On Sea conference is now available:
Full schedule now available
by C++ On Sea
From the announcement:
We're thrilled to announce that the full schedule for the conference has now been finalised and published. Of course, when I say, "finalised", that doesn't mean it definitely won't change again, but I don't expect much movement.
You'll notice that day two (Tuesday) has four tracks. As mentioned before, the response was so great that we felt we had to put on an extra track. Note, also, the Lightning Talks at the end of day one. We'll take submissions for that closer to the time of the conference - or at the conference.

Conferences, proposals, and learning, O my!
C++ Annotated: June - September 2018
by Anastasia Kazakova
From the article:
... a hot C++ conference season kicked off again with CppCon. Pacific++, C++ CoreHard, Meeting C++, ADC, code::dive, and the C++ Committee meeting in San Diego, California, are coming up later this year...
... Today we are starting a new section in our regular C++ Annotated. In each issue, we will cover a selection of C++ proposals and initiatives you definitely should learn about while developing in C++. This time we unveil static exceptions, constexpr new, and lifetime checks. See details below...

The conclusion of this year cppcon.
Milestone | New Home | Trip Reports
by Jon Kalb
From the article:
At the formal closing of CppCon 2018, we took a moment to consider how far we’ve come in the first five years of the conference. Those years have seen us grow in so many ways. Since our first conference, we’ve added classes, field trips, author signings, exhibitor tables and booths, Tool Time, and the SG14 co-located ISO meeting. The number of main program sessions has grown by about fifty percent to almost one hundred fifty. The number of Open Content sessions has doubled to about two dozen. The number of conference days (including classes) has doubled from four and a half to nine and the number of attendees has doubled from about six hundred to over twelve hundred.

A new one!
Trip report - CppCon 2018
by Jean Guegant
From the article:
New year, new conference! This time, my employer, King, helped me to organize a first pilgrimage to CppCon for me and another colleague. You cannot fathom how enthusiastic I was to finally making it there! Although I might be a bit late on the "trip-report-race", I think that it is still worth to relate my overall experience of the event and then move onto a list of recommended talks you should watch-out on Youtube...
