Video: C++ Concepts TS and Request for Input -- everythingcpp

By rwdougla | Aug 15, 2017 07:09 AM | Tags: c++20

This video teaches the Concepts syntax and motivation, with a request for viewers to try it out for themselves, to submit back their usage, to help guide a paper for the upcoming Albuquerque meeting.

C++ Concepts Intro: Need Your Input

by everythingcpp

From the article:

C++20 is slated to add most of the contents of the Concepts Technical Specification. Concerns about teach/learn-ability and usage preferences has kept some features from going in. This video covers introductory material on Concepts in C++ as it is in the technical specification. Afterward, I would like to hear from you!

Trip Report: C++ Standards Meeting in Toronto, July 2017--Botond Ballo

Trip Report: C++ Standards Meeting in Toronto, July 2017

by Botond Ballo

From the article:

A couple of weeks ago I attended a meeting of the ISO C++ Standards Committee (also known as WG21) in Toronto, Canada (which, incidentally, is where I’m based). This was the second committee meeting in 2017; you can find my reports on previous meetings here (November 2016, Issaquah) and here (February 2017, Kona). These reports, particularly the Kona one, provide useful context for this post.

What should the ISO C++ Standards Committee be doing?

What should the ISO C++ Standards Committee be doing?


Bjarne Stroustrup


There is a lot of talk within the committee and outside about how to chose what to work on, what processes will work best for handling proposals, and how to maintain a direction for the language.

In January, a group of heads of national delegations submitted a document entitled Operating principles for evolving C++ and the committee constituted a small group of experienced members to try to develop and maintain direction of the standards effort.

In June, Titus Winters and the members of the direction group submitted a follow-up document: C++ Stability, Velocity, and Deployment starting the process of making the principles real. This document was presented at the Toronto meeting to about 80 members in an evening session. It was very well received.

We are working to make the suggestions from those papers concrete to improve the standards process, and eventually help improve C++ and its ISO standard. Here, I would like to direct attention to one part of that document:

Proposal – “Our Promise To Users” a.k.a

“The C++ Programmers’ Bill of Rights.”

We, the ISO C++ Standards Committee, promise to the best of our ability to deliver the
following, assuming user code adheres to the current standard:

  1. Compile-time stability: Every change in behavior in a new version of the standard is detectable by a compiler for the previous version.
  2. Link-time stability: ABI breakage is avoided except in very rare cases, which will be welldocumented and supported by a written rationale.
  3. Compiler performance stability: Changes will not imply significant added compile-time costs for existing code.
  4. Run-time Performance stability: Changes will not imply added run-time costs to existing code.
  5. Progress: Every revision of the standard will offer improved support for some significant programming activity or community.
  6. Simplicity: Every revision of the standard will offer some simplification of some significant programming activity.
  7. Timeliness: The next revision of the standard will be shipped on time according to a published schedule.

Note “to the best of our abilities”. These are guiding principles, rather than executable statements. For example, if I add a function to a header file, the compilation of code that includes that header will slow down imperceptibly. That’s understood and could be argued not to be “existing code” because of the change. Adding enormous amounts of code to a header so that compilation slowed down noticeably
would be another matter.

These are ideals. They are what we would like to see done. I we succeed, most users will be very happy. However, they are not a recipe we could blindly follow to deliver a new standard. As is typical for ideals, they can conflict: there are tensions among the desired goals. This is common: Ideally, we want quality, on-time delivery, and low cost of products, but we know from vast experience that it is very hard to get all three. We want freedom of speech and absence of verbal intimidation, but balancing those two can be very hard. It is the same for the ideals of the “The C++ Bill of Rights”; we want all, but the committee will have to make hard choices.

These are ideals. They are meant to be rather grand statements, rather than nit-picked long sentences with every statement watered down by adjectives and caveats. It will be up to the committee members to interpret the ideals for real design and scheduling problems.

There are just 7 ideals listed and they are quite general. We could add many more, but a laundry list of specifics, would dull the appeal and be impossible to remember in the heat of discussions about direction, what can be delivered when, and specific technical concerns.

So, what do you think? Should the committee formally commit to this? Can it be improved? How? Obviously, we need a discussion within the committee and in the community in general before deciding on anything.

Trip report: Summer ISO C++ standards meeting (Toronto)

by Herb Sutter

From the article:

A few minutes ago, the ISO C++ committee completed its summer meeting in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We had some 130 people at the meeting, representing nine national bodies. As usual, we met for six days Monday through Saturday, including several evenings.

The following are some highlights of what we achieved this week...

What's in C++20 and the C++17 final score card

What's in C++20 and the C++17 final score card: A report from Kona and look at the Toronto C++ meeting
Posted on July 10, 2017 by Michael Wong.

I am writing this blog long after my trip to the Kona C++ standard meeting due to unusually high business commitments post-meeting and using it as an opportunity to also look ahead to the C++20 content to be reviewed in Toronto. I will publish my usual update to the C++17 content slidedeck similar to my Dec 2016 Issaquah trip report. This will contain the final score card for C++17, including all the features with links, and an evaluation scorecard of what made it in based on what Bjarne had earlier suggested in 2015 as possible content for C++17.
