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...

C++ on Sea : Full schedule, Nico Josuttis Keynote and Remo as a platform

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

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...

C++ Template: A Quick UpToDate Look(C++11/14/17/20)

by Vishal Chovatiya

From the article:

I know, it’s been a while since the last time I published something newbies-friendly on my blog. The main reason is that most of my readers are either experienced devs or from C background having modest C++ encounter. But while programming in C++ you need a completely different mindset as both C & C++ belongs to different programming paradigm. And I always strive to show them a better way of doing things in C++. Anyway, I found the topic which is lengthy, reasonably complex(at least it was for me), newbies-friendly as well as energizing for experienced folks(if Modern C++ jargons, rules & features added) i.e. C++ Template.

I will start with a simple class/function template and as we move along, will increase the complexity. And also cover the advance topics like the variadic template, nested template, CRTP, template vs fold-expression, etc. But, yes! we would not take deeper dive otherwise this would become a book rather than an article.

The C++ Lambda Story Book

by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

Lambda Expressions appeared in C++11, and since then they become one of the most distinguishing features of Modern C++. What’s more, with each revision of the Standard the ISO Committee improved the syntax and capabilities of lambdas, so they are even more comfortable to use.

Read on to see how you can learn all the details of this powerful modern C++ feature.
