Utah C++ Programmers has released a new video.

Embedded Programming with Raspberry Pi Pico

by Richard Thomson

From the video description:

This Winter, we'll be hunkered down with embedded programming with C/C++ and some popular single board computer platforms popular in the 'maker' community.

This month, Richard Thomson will continue with an introduction to the Raspberry Pi Pico. The Pico is an inexpensive yet powerful single board microcontroller, costing only $4 It features more RAM than the Arduino Uno and considerably more processing power. The RP2040 CPU is a dual core 133 MHz Arm Cortex-M0+ with a selection of integrated peripherals. The CPU was custom designed by the Raspberry Pi foundation to address the specific needs of the maker community. The Arduino IDE can be used to program the Pico as with the Uno. With integrated USB controller, the Pico can implement a USB host or device.

Today, I continue my story about programming at compile time. After template metaprogramming, the type-traits library, today's topic is constexpr functions in particular...

C++ Templates: How to Iterate through std::tuple: the Basics--Bartlomiej Filipek

C++ Templates: How to Iterate through std::tuple: the Basics

by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

If you have a standard container, it’s easy to use a range-based for loop and iterate over its elements at runtime. How about std::tuple? In this case, we cannot use a regular loop as it doesn’t “understand” tuple’s compile-time list of arguments. That’s why in this article, I’ll show you a few techniques you can use to run through all tuple’s entries...

The Usual Arithmetic Confusions--Shafik Yaghmour

Do you know the conversions?

The Usual Arithmetic Confusions

by Shafik Yaghmour

From the article:

There are a lot of aspects of C++ that are not well understood and lead to all sorts of confusion. The usual arithmetic conversions and the integral promotions are two such aspects. Certain binary operators (arithmetic, relational and spaceship) require their operands to have a common type. The usual arithmetic conversions are the set of steps that gets operands to a common type. While the integral promotions brings integral types smaller than int and unsigned int to either int or unsigned int depending on which one can represent all the values of the source type. This is one of the areas in C++ that comes directly from C, so pretty much all of these examples applies to C as well as C++...

Fixing the crash that seems to be on a std::move operation--Raymond Chen

Fixing the crash that seems to be on a std::move operation

by Raymond Chen

From the article:

Last time, we looked at a crash that was root-caused to an order of evaluation bug if compiled as C++14. One solution to the problem is to switch to C++17 mode, but presumably the customer isn’t willing to make that drastic a change to their product yet. Maybe there’s something we can do that is less disruptive...

How we used C++20 to eliminate an entire class of runtime bugs--Cameron DaCamara

Always more powerful.

How we used C++20 to eliminate an entire class of runtime bugs

by Cameron DaCamara

From the article:

C++20 is here and has been supported in MSVC since 16.11, but today’s post is not about how you can use it, but rather how we used it to effectively eliminate an entire class of runtime bugs by hoisting a check into compile-time. Let’s get right into it!

Auto is Not a Data Type

by Barbara Geller and Ansel Sermersheim

About the video:

Did you think auto was added in C++11? Is auto always used in place of a data type? Watch our new video as we answer these questions and explain how auto interacts with overload resolution and concepts.
