New video on the CopperSpice YouTube Channel:
Comparison Operators: Breaking Change in C++20
by Barbara Geller and Ansel Sermersheim
About the video:
C++20 added a feature for the compiler to auto generate comparison operators which is often referred to as the spaceship operator. We found a way this can break existing code when supplying your own comparison functions. Watch our video to find out how this can happen in your existing code which has never used the spaceship operator before.

FOSSA was founded to provide the most relevant and real-time end-to-end governance for all third-party code. They now announce the general availability of C and C++ Security and License Scanning

By Gauthami Polasani
From the article:
Unlike other C/C++ scanning tools, FOSSA does not take a one-solution-fits-all approach to dependency identification in such a complex and layered ecosystem. FOSSA uses multi-pronged strategies (as described below) to accurately identify dependencies and surface security and license risks — regardless of how the code is included.).

The ACCU is now putting together its program, and they want you to speak on C++. The ACCU conference has strong C++ tracks, though it is not a C++-only conference. If you have something to share, check out their

by the ACCU
About the conference:
The ACCU 2023 conference will be from 2023-04-19 to 2023-04-22, with pre-conference workshops on 2023-04-17 and 2023-04-18.
The ACCU 2023 will be a hybrit event.
Historically, ACCU has a lot of C++ and C content, and is proud of that: ACCU is the foremost annual conference for people interested in C++ and C, at least in and around the UK. But it is not just a C++ and C conference, ACCU is about programming in whatever language people are using, with whatever tools and processes people are using: D, Chapel, Java, Kotlin, C#, F#, Groovy, Rust, Go, Python, Ruby, Lisp, to name just a few programming languages about which there have been sessions at ACCU conferences. Git, Mercurial, CMake, Meson, TDD, BDD, all these tools and techniques have been the focus of sessions at ACCU. The ACCU Conference is looking for sessions that will be interesting to people who create software.
The ACCU Conference is put on by ACCU (https://accu.org), but is open to anyone who wishes to be there either as a presenter or an attender.The Call for Papers lasts for about 3 weeks and will close on Monday 7th November 2022 at 23:59:59 GMT.
