GotW #99 Solution: Postconditions
by Herb Sutter
From the article:
Postconditions are directly related to assertions (see GotW #97)... but how, exactly? And since we can already write postconditions using assertions, why would having language support benefit us more for writing postconditions more than for writing (ordinary) assertions?

How std::any Works
by Jonathan Boccara
From the article:
In the previous post we’ve seen a very nice technique to use value semantics with inheritance and virtual methods, which was made possible by std::any.
Given its usefulness, it would be interesting to better understand std::any. Indeed, std::any is sometimes said to be “the modern void*“. But it does much more than a void*...

Abbreviated Function Templates and Constrained Auto
by Sy Brand
From the article:
Declaring function templates in C++ has always been quite verbose. C++20 added a new way of doing so that is more terse and more consistent with lambdas: abbreviated function templates. This short post will show how to use this syntax and how it applies to C++20 concepts...

12 Different Ways to Filter Containers in Modern C++
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
Do you know how many ways we can implement a filter function in C++?
While the problem is relatively easy to understand - take a container, copy elements that match a predicate and the return a new container - it’s good to exercise with the Standard Library and check a few ideas. We can also apply some Modern C++ techniques.
Let’s start!

"Contract support" is one of the things actively developed for C++.
Contracts, Preconditions & Invariants
By Andrzej Krzemienski
About the article
This blog post is an introductory material, demonstrating what a contract is, how preconditions and invariants can be derived from the contract, and how this process can help detect bugs. Two points stressed in this post are: (1) preconditions and invariants are not “contracts” and (2) only a subset of contract-related bugs can be detected through preconditions and invariants.

Barriers and Atomic Smart Pointers in C++20
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
In my last post, I introduced latches in C++20. A latch enables it threads to wait until a counter becomes zero. Additionally, to a latch, its big sibling barrier can be used more than once. Today, I write about barriers and present atomic smart pointers...

std::jthread and cooperative cancellation with stop token
by Hitesh Kumar
From the article:
A std::jthread instance represents an automatically joining and cooperatively cancellable thread. std::jthread has an exception-safe thread termination flow compared to std::thread and can replace it in most situations with little or no code changes...
