From the article:

Now that we’re clear on the Compiler-generated Functions, the Rule of Three and the Rule of Five, let’s put this to use to reflect on how to use the “= default” feature to have expressive and correct code...

How to Iterate Through Directories in C++

Do you know how to iterate through directories in modern C++? How to work with std::filesystem to solve this task?

How to Iterate Through Directories in C++

by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

How would you implement a function that searches for files with a given extension? For example, finding all text files? or *.cpp files? To code that solution you need a way to iterate through directories. Is that possible in C++ out of the box using the standard library? Let’s see some techniques and new elements that C++17 added.

ACCU - Trip Report

by Ori Ben-Shir

From the article:

I was attending this year ACCU conference, and I am very eager to share my impression of the conference. ACCU is an annual conference located in the lovely city of Bristol. The conference is mostly dedicated to C++ developer. While C++ developers are in mind, the conference is not limited to C++ material, and it includes talks for various topics and even some other programming languages. Yes, there was a Rust talk and even a workshop this year.
It was the first time I have attended a big conference. And I must admit it was a great pleasure! I’m in love with the concept of technical talks. I find it to be the most effective learning method for me. The opportunity to meet a lot of tech enthusiastic is both fun and enriching. Wrapping it all with a vacation for such a lovely city such as Bristol is immensely satisfying. If you have the opportunity, I encourage you to attend this conference next year. I also think the organizers did a great job. I genuinely like the extra social session. The pub quiz, for instance, was perfect, though some of the code samples from it were as far from perfect as possible.

I have a lot to say about the content itself. I tend to believe I have more to say than you want to read. So let’s focus on some of the talks I think are more relevant...

ACCU 2019 trip report

by Mathieu Ropert

From the article:

This year’s edition of ACCU was held from April 10th to April 13th, in Bristol as always. I arrived a day earlier from Paris after a short stop in France which was supposed to offer some supply of good weather and trips to a few winemakers in preparation for the harsh conditions of Great Britain.

From the start things went awry as I could only spare half an hour for a visit to a winemaker in Vouvray who turned out to be quite forgettable, not to mention the weather that was only barely keeping it up together. Still I didn’t immediately notice that something was off, having spent the pasts months enduring the cold winter of Sweden. It took a second flight from Paris to Bristol to realize it: spring is there (although a couple of Bristol locals apologized for the weather being unexpectedly non-terrible)...
