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.

Acknowledgements

  • LEWG in Kona for inspiring me to write this paper.
  • Howard Hinnant for "being OK" with the change and telling me that he wasn’t brave enough for C++11 at the time to change it, when it would not have been a potentially breaking change for pathological cases.

P0506R1: use string_view ... instead of const string &/const char* -- Peter Sommerlad

use string_view for library function parameters instead of const string &/const char *

by Peter Sommerlad

Excerpt:

With basic_string_view there is no longer a reason to keep library APIs that have overloads taking std::string const & and char const * parameter types. Both should be replaced by a single version taking a std::string_view.

Acknowledgements — LEWG in Issaquah for proposing me to write this paper, even when it can not make it into C++17.

Changes from previous versions 4.1 p0506r0

  • removed unnecessary Allocator template parameter
  • change layout in regex adaptation to see changes easier piecewise judgement
  • adjust latex to most current std.tex macros
  • adjust to new standard chapter numbering
  • make regex_search allocator aware again by taking the allocator from a string parameter.

A strstream replacement using span<charT> as buffer

by Peter Sommerlad

Excerpt:

This paper proposes a class template basic_spanbuf and the corresponding stream class templates to enable the use of streams on externally provided memory buffers. No ownership or re-allocation support is given. For those features we have string-based streams. ...

Today, with span we actually have a library type representing such buffers views we can use for specifying (and implementing) such streams. They can be used in areas where dynamic (re-)allocation of stringstreams is not acceptable but the burden of caring for a pre-existing buffer during the lifetime of the stream is manageable.

Changes from p0448r0

  • provide explanation why non-copy-ability, while technically feasible, is an OK thing.
  • remove wrong Allocator template parameter (we never allocate anything).
  • adhere to new section numbering of the standard.
  • tried to clarify lifetime and threading issues.

Efficient Access to basic_stringbuf’s Buffer

by Peter Sommerlad

Excerpt:

This paper proposes to adjust the API of basic_stringbuf and the corresponding stream class templates to allow accessing the underlying string more efficiently.
