C++17 Library Papers for Cologne - Part II

by Jens WEller

From the article:

This is the second part about the papers for the Library Working Group Meeting in Cologne next week. The last part already covered some interesting papers, and gives an impression on what will be included into the Standard Library for C++17...

2015-02 mid-meeting mailing available

The 2015-02 mailing of new standards papers is now available.

Atomic View (Revision to N4142, Atomic Operations on a Very Large Array)

by Carter Edwards and Hans Boehm

Excerpt:

This paper proposes an extension to the atomic operations library [atomics] for atomic operations applied to non-atomic objects. The proposal is in three parts: (1) the concept of an atomic view, (2) application of this concept for atomic operations applied to members of a very large array in a high performance computing (HPC) code, and (3) application of this concept for atomic operations applied to an object in a large legacy code which cannot replace this object with a corresponding atomic object.

The bell has tolled for rand()--Indi

An extensive article about rand(), it's replacement in C++11 and the possible future was posted last december:

The bell has tolled for rand()

by Indi

Form the article:

In their recent meeting in Urbana, the C++ standard committee took the rare step of removing several outdated facilities from (what will probably become) C++17. Most of the things removed had been deprecated since C++11, but there was one surprising item on the list: std::random_shuffle(). Its removal is a signal of a big change that has been building in the background for a while: the end of std::rand()...

Interlude: C++’s Strides in 2014--K-ballo

K-ballo’s look at the achievements of C++ completed in 2014 and coming up in 2017, with an overview of draft C++17 features.

Interlude

by K-ballo

From the article:

One year down the road, 2014 has gone by but not without modifications to the C++ lands. C++14 was completed, and Clang has already reached full conformance! But it's not the end of the road, while the Technical Specification (TS) documents continue to move forward, work has started on what it is intended to be C++17...
