6 Ways to Refactor new/delete into unique ptr
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
In legacy code, you can often spot explicit new and delete lurking in various places and waiting to produce pointer-related issues. This blog post shows six patterns to improve that erroneous style and rely on modern techniques, especially unique_ptr and other helper standard types...

Automatic Return Type (C++98)
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
Depending on the used C++ standard, there are different ways to return the right return type of a function template. In this post, I start with traits (C++98), continue in my next post with C++11/14, and end with concepts (C++20)...

You can register until the end of October for the Student and Supporttickets, or apply as a volunteer for Meeting C++ 2021.
About Student- and Supporttickets and volunteering at Meeting C++ 2021
by Jens Weller
From the article:
A quick reminder, that you can register for the Student and Supporttickets for Meeting C++ 2021 until the end of October! Plus a bit on volunteering.
Like in the last years Meeting C++ also offers in 2021 a way to attend the conference for Students through the Studentticket and for various other groups through the Supportticket. This years conference is online and a unique opportunity to get to know the C++ community. You'll be able to attend the conference for the full 3 days, Hubilo is a great platform to view the sessions or hang out in the lounge to have a discussion about C++.

Design Idioms from an Alternate Universe
Wednesday, October 27 • 10:30am - 11:30am
by Ivan Čukić
Summary of the talk:
This session is part of the Software Design Track.
It is common to see different design idioms and patterns in different programming paradigms as they represent /the way/ something should be implemented in a given paradigm, and each paradigm is special enough for its way to be completely different to the way taken by the other ones.
While C++ is an one of a kind multiparadigm langugage, people tend to use object-oriented patterns with it most of the time. Generic and functional programming are also where C++ shines, so why avoid learning and using idioms from those two paradigms? People often think that they need to stick to a single paradigm not realizing that the true power lies in skillfully combining all of them.
This talk will present several software design idioms that people usually connect with generic and functional programming disciplines, but which are highly applicable to the usual code most of the contemporary C++ developers write every day.

A (Short) Tour of C++ Modules
Thursday, October 28 • 10:30am - 11:30am
by Daniela Engert
Summary of the talk:
Modules are probably the most impactful and most transformative recent major addition to the C++ language. From a user perspective, Modules are conceptually simple and the idea is easy to grasp. And with the C++20 ecosystem maturing, using Modules and adopting them into every-day programming is both feasable and advantageous.
But what is the motivation that lead to the invention of Modules and their inclusion into the standard? How do they look like? Which are the three key features of C++ Modules that exist since the inception of the language, that are mostly irrelevant in the typical usage of 'classical' C++ such that hardly any programmer needs to know much about them but a Modules developer does? What surprises might lie on the path of transforming a classical library into a Module? Are there still any issues, loose ends or open questions regarding Modules?
The talk will try to give a comprehensive answer to those questions. The audience shall get enough information to decide when the right time has come for them to take the plunge and move their codebase to Modules wherever it is advantageous.

Thanks to the Chinese C++ experts who did this translation of Bjarne Stroustrup's latest History of Programming Languages paper! That's a massive job, and translations of technical papers are very rare in our field.
