C++ Modules conformance improvements with MSVC in Visual Studio 2019 16.5

by Cameron DaCamara

From the article:

C++20 is right around the corner. Along with the new standard comes the much anticipated Modules feature! The compiler team initially announced that we were working on the Modules TS back in 2017 and since then we have been hard at work improving the feature and improving compiler conformance around this feature. We finally feel it is time to share some of the progress we have made on the conformance front for Modules...

HPX V1.4 released -- STE||AR Group

By Hartmut Kaiser | Jan 15, 2020 06:12 PM | Tags: performance parallelism heterogeneous computing distributed computing c++17 c++14 c++11

The STE||AR Group has released V1.4 of HPX -- A C++ Standard library for parallelism and concurrency.

HPX V1.4 Released

The newest version of HPX (V1.4) is now available for download! This release focuses on performance and stability improvements. Please see here for the full release notes.

    HPX is a general purpose parallel C++ runtime system for applications of any scale. It implements all of the related facilities as defined by the C++ Standard. As of this writing, HPX provides the only widely available open-source implementation of the new C++17 parallel algorithms. Additionally, HPX implements functionalities proposed as part of the ongoing C++ standardization process, such as large parts of the C++ Concurrency TS, Parallelism TS V2, data-parallel algorithms, executors, and many more. It also extends the existing C++ Standard APIs to the distributed case (e.g. compute clusters) and for heterogeneous systems (e.g. GPUs).

    HPX seamlessly enables a new Asynchronous C++ Standard Programming Model that tends to improve the parallel efficiency of our applications and helps reducing complexities usually associated with parellism and concurrency.

CMake 3.16 added support for precompiled headers & unity builds - what you need to know

By onqtam | Dec 21, 2019 11:12 AM | Tags: None

Modules are coming in C++20 but it will take a while before they are widely adopted, optimized and supported by tooling - what can we do right now?

CMake 3.16 added support for precompiled headers & unity builds - what you need to know

by Viktor Kirilov

From the article:

CMake 3.16 introduced native support for precompiled headers and unity builds - we no longer need to rely on clunky 3rd party CMake scripts! This is a complete guide on what the 2 techniques are, how to apply them and what to look out for. Builds could easily drop to less than 20% of the time they originally took.

Slow builds don’t just waste time - they also break the ‘flow’ (context switching) and discourage refactoring and experimentation - how do you put a price on that?

We're glad to offer to your attention a quick overview of the PVS-Studio 7.05 code analyzer release. The analyzer is enriched with twenty new diagnostics and infrastructure improvements.

PVS-Studio 7.05

by Andrey Karpov

From the article:

The Blame Notifier utility meant to notify developers about the analysis results is now available on all platforms supported by the analyzer (Windows, Linux, macOS). Blame Notifier uses the information from the version control system (SVN, Git, Mercurial) to identify the person who wrote the code that triggered an analyzer warning.
