C++17 brings some language fixes and deprecation. See what have changed.

C++17 in details: fixes and deprecation

by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

The draft for the language contains now over 1586 pages! Due to compatibility requirements, the new features are added, but not much is removed. Fortunately, there are some things that could go away.

P0636R0: Changes between C++14 and C++17 DIS -- Thomas Köppe

Changes between C++14 and C++17 DIS

by Thomas Köppe

Excerpt:

This document enumerates all the major changes that have been applied to the C++ working draft since the publication of C++14, up to the publication of the C++17 DIS (N4660). Major changes are those that were added in the form of a dedicated paper, excluding those papers that are large issue resolutions. No issue resolutions from either CWG or LWG issues lists (“defect reports”) are included.

Trip report: Winter ISO C++ standards meeting (Kona) -- Botond Ballo

waldo.PNGA new trip report from the just-concluded ISO C++ meeting:

Trip report: C++ standards meeting in Kona, February 2017

by Botond Ballo

From the article:

Conclusion

C++17 is effectively out the door, with its Draft International Standard sent out for ballot, and the official release expected later this year.

Development on C++20 is well under way, with numerous core language and library features already earmarked for it, and several Technical Specifications expected to be merged into it. A proposal for an overall vision for the release aims to focus the committee’s efforts on four headliner features – Concepts, Modules, Ranges, and Networking. That is, of course, not a guarantee these features will be in C++20 (nor is it intended to exclude other features!), but I believe with some luck and continued hard work we can make part of all of that plan a reality.

Modules, in particular, are expected to be a game-changer for C++...

Trip report: Winter ISO C++ standards meeting (Kona) -- Herb Sutter

A trip report from the just-concluded ISO C++ meeting:

Trip report: Winter ISO C++ standards meeting (Kona), C++17 is complete

by Herb Sutter

From the article:

C++17 is done!

The big news is that we completed C++17, which dominated the work of the meeting: C++17 is now technically finished and being sent out for its final ISO balloting. All that remains for C++17 now is some ISO red tape and minor touch-up to get it officially published, which is expected to be just mechanical...

C++::London talk: A polymorphic value-type for C++

By jbcoe | Mar 9, 2017 12:52 PM | Tags: None

On 25th January at CodeNode, London, Jonathan Coe presented polymorphic_value<T> to the C++::London meetup group.

The class template polymorphic_value is proposed for addition to the C++ Standard Library. The class template, polymorphic_value, confers value-like semantics on a free-store allocated object. A polymorphic_value<T> may hold an object of a class publicly derived from T, and copying the polymorphic_value will copy the object of the derived type.

Jonathan is a mathematical developer using modern C++ and Python. He has worked in academia and the financial and energy industries. He's been a participant in the C++ standards committee since 2014.
