And handy they are.

20 Smaller yet Handy C++20 Features

by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

C++20 is huge and filled with lots of large features. Just to mention a few: Modules, Coroutines, Concepts, Ranges, Calendar & Timezone, Formatting library.

But, as you know, that’s not all.

Depending on how we count, C++20 brought around 80 Library features and 70 language changes, so there’s a lot to cover smile

In this article, I’ll show you 20 smaller C++20 things that are very handy and good to know. Ten language elements, and ten more for the Standard Library. Most of them with a cool example.

Let’s jump right into the text!

Improving Stability with Modern C++, Part 4 — Memory Management

by Ralph Kootker

From the article

When we started learning C++, we were all taught that every new needs a corresponding delete. But sometimes we'd forget, or some code might throw an exception we weren't ready for, and then we'd leak memory. [...] With rare exceptions, C++ programmers should not have to write new or delete ever again.

Outcome enters sustaining phase, goes ABI stable

by Niall Douglas

From the article:

After three years of maturing, I am pleased to announce that the Spring release of Outcome, an alternative error handling framework, will enter its sustaining phase and thus it will be able to formally guarantee ABI stability going forth. ABI stability is tested per commit by CI and the specifics of the guarantees is documented here...

2021 C++ Standardization Highlights

by Botond Ballo

From the article:

The ISO C++ Standards Committee (also known as WG21) has not met in person since its February 2020 meeting in Prague, which I wrote about here.

However, the committee and its subgroups have continued their work through remote collaboration, and a number of notable proposals have been adopted into C++23, the next language version, in this way, with many others in the pipeline.

In this post, I will outline some of the highlights of the committee’s work in 2021. (The post will also cover some material from the latter part of 2020, a period when remote collaboration was already underway but which I have not covered in any previous post.) I’ve been less involved in the committee than before, so this post will not be as comprehensive as my previous trip reports, but I hope to share the proposals I’ve found most notable...

From the article:

Yes, C++ on Sea is back by the sea! Or at least that is the current plan. We have booked the Leas Cliff Hall, once again, for July 4th-7th 2022. We're now busy, behind the scenes, working out all the details. We'll have updates first thing in the new year when we'll also open the call for speakers.

Little C++ Standard Library Utility: std::align -- Lesley Lai

An introduction of std::align with the arena allocator as motivational example

Little C++ Standard Library Utility: std::align

by Lesley Lai

From the article:

Recently, I learned about std::align, which is one of the lesser-known functions in the C++ standard library because of its limited use cases. Since it is hard to describe without a specific use case, I will use a simple implementation of an arena allocator as a motivational example.

The series continue.

C++20 Concepts: Part 5 (Advanced use cases)

by Gajendra Gulgulia

From the article:

In this article, I’ll explain and demonstrate how to define concepts that constrain multiple template parameters and more importantly how to use them in a generic function. As promised in the part 3 of the series, I’ll explain this using a function comparing for equality of two different types T and U
