Quick A: Do you need it?
Recently on SO:
Is it possible to make template specialization for zero template arguments?
If T is used only for the constructor, you don't need to template the whole class;

The yearly voting for the program of the yearly Meeting C++ Conference has started!
The voting on the talks for Meeting C++ 2020 begins!
by Jens Weller
From the article:
With today, you can start to vote on all submitted talks for Meeting C++ 2020! As 2020 is a bit special, it is less talks, but also this years conference will only feature one track, the voting will give me guiding in which talks to choose from speakers with multiple talks, but also will help to see which other speakers might should make it to the conference. Unlike prior years the main track can't be the mostly consisting out of the most popular talks of the voting.

C++11 scoped enums deep dive and comparison with C++98 unscoped enums.
Scoped (class) enums: fundamentals and examples
by Hitesh Kumar
From the article:
Scoped enums (enum class/struct) are strongly typed enumerations introduced in C++11. They address several shortcomings of the old C-style (C++98) enums, mainly associated with type-safety and name collisions.

C++20 Features and Fixes in VS 2019 16.1 through 16.6
by Stephan T. Lavavej
From the article:
We’ve been busy implementing C++20 features in MSVC’s compiler and Standard Library, and migrating the latter to microsoft/STL on GitHub – in fact, we’ve been so busy that we haven’t posted a C++ toolset changelog since the VS 2019 16.0 toolset changelog. So, here are the compiler features and STL features/fixes that have shipped for production use in the last year.
As a reminder, the /std:c++17 and /std:c++latest compiler options are necessary to use C++17 and C++20 features...

With less than two weeks to go before the conference (in fact only one week before the first workshop), we have some big announcements!
Full schedule, Nico Josuttis Keynote and Remo as a platform
by C++ on Sea
From the article:
After evaluating many options, including building our own solution (from component parts), we have settled on a fairly new system called Remo. What we love about Remo is that it's the closest thing we've found to recreating the experience of being at a physical event

With recent releases SonarQube and SonarCloud offer expanded compiler support and additional security-related rules.
Improved C/C++ analysis
By Alexandre Gigleux
From the article:
There are tons of C/C++ compilers out there and we always get many requests by many users about additional compilers support. We listened and added the support of 10+ compilers to allow more developers to benefit from our C/C++ rules.
We want to help C/C++ developers to deliver code in production without vulnerabilities and more precisely we want to avoid buffer overflow to be exploited by hackers. This is why we implemented 4 rules looking at APIs that could be badly used and that open the door to buffer overflow attacks

Polymorphic Allocators, std::vector Growth and Hacking
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
The concept of a polymorphic allocator from C++17 is an enhancement to standard allocators from the Standard Library.
It’s much easier to use than a regular allocator and allows containers to have the same type while having a different allocator, or even a possibility to change allocators at runtime.
Let’s see how we can use it and hack to see the growth of std::vector containers...

Stupid std::tuple tricks: Finding a type in a tuple

Stupid std::tuple tricks: Creating more interesting index sequences
by Raymond Chen
From the article:
Last time, we wrote offset_sequence_t, which takes an existing sequence and adds a fixed value to each element. This is the sort of index manipulation you may want to generalize. So let’s generalize it...
