Distributed C++ Meetup 0x02--Jean Guegant

Did you see it?

Distributed C++ Meetup 0x02

by Jean Guegant

From the article:

Here is a quick follow-up of the event I announced in my previous post: the Distributed C++ Meetup 0x02. A quick explanation for those too lazy to click a link or scroll down a bit to read my previous post (not judging you here, I would do the same); the concept of a Distibuted C++ Meetup consists in gathering multiple C++ user groups from around the world in one event using video-conference facilities. This time we had the pleasure to bring together the Berlin, London and Stockholm Meetup groups using King's offices.

C++Now Announces Closing Keynote by John Regehr

By Jon Kalb | Apr 5, 2018 07:30 PM | Tags: undefined behavior optimizations c++now

C++Now 2018 will be held in Aspen, May 6–11, 2018.

Closing Keynote Announced: John Regehr on Undefined Behavior and Compiler Optimizations

From the announcement:

John is a professor of computer science at the University of Utah, where his research group creates tools for making software more efficient and correct. One of his projects is Csmith, a tool that generates random C programs. Why? To test compilers, of course. Csmith has been used to find more than 500 previously unknown bugs in production-quality compilers.

John will share some of the insights he’s gained from his research into compilers.

He will discuss what undefined behavior means to the compiler and how compiler writers use it in surprising ways generate better code.

Lots of things happened.

Trip report: Winter ISO C++ standards meeting (Jacksonville)

by Herb Sutter

From the article:

On Saturday March 17, the ISO C++ committee completed its winter meeting in Jacksonville, Florida, USA, hosted with thanks by the Standard C++ Foundation and Perennial. We had some 140 people at the meeting, representing 8 national bodies. As usual, we met for six days Monday through Saturday, including all evenings...

C++Now 2018 will be held in Aspen, May 6–11, 2018.

C++Now 2018 Opening Keynote is Lisa Lippincott

From the announcement:

Lisa approaches languages from a mathematical point of view and thinks deeply on the meaning of programming. In this presentation [The Shape of a Program], she will encourage us to apply topology, the fundamental mathematics of space, as a way of looking at a program.

We expect C++Now to sell out again. Register immediately so you won’t miss out.

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 2018.

The submissions deadline is May 11 with decisions sent by July 1.

Freestanding trip report: emBO++ and Jacksonville wg21 2018 experience-Ben Craig

By Adrien Hamelin | Mar 29, 2018 03:13 PM | Tags: experimental community

A good experience.

Freestanding trip report: emBO++ and Jacksonville wg21 2018 experience

by Ben Craig

From the article:

I'm the author of P0829, Freestanding Proposal. The tl;dr of the paper is that it standardizes a subset of the library suitable for kernel and embedded programming. R0 of this poorly titled paper was reasonably well received in the Albuquerque 2017 meeting. I was encouraged to send it out to a wider audience... and so I did. One of the people that I sent it to was Odin Holmes, and that got me an invitation to emBO++, my first speech at a public conference. This conference was the week prior to the Jacksonville meeting, so I ended up flying from Bochum to Jacksonville without going home first...

ISO C++ Committee – Jacksonville 2018, trip report -- Timur Doumler

By Anastasia Kazakova | Mar 29, 2018 06:53 AM | Tags: c++20

Timur Doumler has joined the CLion team in fall 2017. He continues to be active on the C++ Committee, as it fits well into JetBrains' strategy: our C++ team would like to be actively involved in the committee and feed our experience with implementing language features in our C++ tools back into the ongoing work on the evolution of the C++ language.

ISO C++ Committee – Jacksonville 2018 trip report

by Timur Doumler

From the article:

From the 12th to the 17th of March 2018, I travelled to Jacksonville, Florida, to attend the ISO C++ Committee meeting as JetBrains’ representative on the committee. I decided to focus on Evolution Working Group and cover the most relevant discussions concerning language evolution:

• Day 1: Structured bindings and concepts
• Day 2: Let’s break some code!
• Day 3: Coroutines and Modules
• Day 4: Compile-time programming
• Day 5: New Tooling Study Group
• Day 6: Plenary
