Another trip report!

CppCon 2017 Trip Report

by Matt Godbolt

From the article:

Until last week I had never been to a C++ conference before. I’m rather glad to say that I’ve now experienced the wonder of having a firehose of C++ knowledge plugged into my brain and turned on.

Most of the best times at the conference were in between talks, where random meetings in the hallways over coffee would yield fascinating discussions. I was flattered to have a fair number of people spot my name badge and come up and thank me for Compiler Explorer – a very surreal experience. I got a tiny taste of what it must be to be “famous”! I also got a lot of advice and ideas on how to improve the site, and once the dust settles a little I look forward to getting stuck into improvements, like more Microsoft compilers (and a better compilation experience for those using it), and execution support.

While the hallway chance encounters (and lunches and dinners) yielded a lot of great conversations, the talks were also full of information. Below is a small taste of some of the talks that left an impression with me...

CppCon 2017 Trip Report

by Ben Deane

From the article:

Last week in Bellevue, WA, around 1100 C++ programmers got together for CppCon. I love this conference – it’s a chance to meet up with my existing C++ community friends and make new ones, to learn new techniques and explore parts of C++, and to get excited about where C++ is headed in the next 5 years. Just about everything in C++ is represented, from low-level optimization techniques to functional template metaprogramming...

CppCon 2017 Trip Report

by Charles L. Wilcox

From the article:

Another CppCon draws to a close, and the future looks healthy and exciting.  Also, I finally gave a Lightning Talk.

Overall, the conference experience this year was very smooth, compared to my last two times here, despite the conference growth.  There were over 1100 attendees, up from about 900 last year.  There were sometimes 7 concurrent tracks, which is larger than years past.  Again, with most every time-slot I suffer from the paradox of choice, and if I chose a less than stellar talk, I regret what I’m potentially missing elsewhere.

The conference continues!

#CPPCON2017. Day 2. Why Local Allocators are a Good Thing(tm) Performance-Wise, and Why I am Very Cautious about C++17 STL parallelized algos

by "No Bugs" Hare

From the article:

At CPPCON2017 Day 2, two talks were of special interest to me. One was a 2-hour talk about Local Allocators – and another about C++17 STL parallelised algorithms.

For the first time ever, you can participate in Meeting C++ as a volunteer, just like you could do with CppCon!

Volunteering at Meeting C++ 2017

by Jens Weller

From the article:

Something new, which didn't exist in the last 5 editions of the Meeting C++ conference. You are now able to become a volunteer at Meeting C++ 2017, like you can and always could do for CppCon.

Historically the staff for Meeting C++ first was from my own C++ User Group...
