C++ Exception Handling: The gory details of an implementation -- Peter Edwards
The gory details of an C++ exception handling implementation.
C++ Exception Handling Implementation
by Peter Edwards
Abstract:
Modern implementations of exception handling make the facility almost cost free for those times you don't actually end up throwing an exception. There's a big complexity cost to this, and a lot of work that happens when we step off the happy path.

A cake for your cherry: what should go in the C++ standard library?
by Corentin Jabot
From the article
Over the past few years there has been a push to include a graphics library into the C++ standard. It would be something a bit like cairo. Or SDL.
I do think this is a path that should not be pursued. Let me tell you why...

It is my pleasure to announce the sixth year of the C++Now Student/Volunteer program! We are again inviting students with an interest in C++ to attend the May 6-11, 2018 conference in Aspen, CO as Student/Volunteers.
The Student/Volunteer program is an excellent way for students and young coders with an interest in C++ to learn about language and make lasting connections with the community.
Student/Volunteers will receive free registration and a travel stipend for their travel and lodging.
Volunteers will handle various tasks during the conference, such as assisting presenters, setting up presentation rooms, running A/V equipment, and helping with breaks and the conference picnic.
Students from all fields of study are welcome to apply. However, this conference covers advanced C++ topics, and applicants should have ample experience with the C++ programming language and be familiar with general computer science topics.
Applications will be accepted until March 9th, 2018. Application decisions will be sent out by March 16th, 2018.
