A Proposal to Add a Logical Const Wrapper to the Standard Library Technical Report
by Jonathan Coe and Robert Mill
Excerpt:
We propose the introduction of a
logical_constwrapper class that propagatesconst-ness to pointer-like (or reference-like) member variables.

Source-Code Information Capture
by Robert Douglas
Excerpt:
In Issaquah, I presented the idea of "Call-Site Informed Default Variables" to the reflection study group, to get a sense of what direction to pursue. The goal was to craft a feature to allow a function to capture information about the source code calling it, moving toward obsoleting function-macros for these use cases. The response from the room was largely positive, and requests were focused on the desire to present a means to convey source code information to be passed to a function. This proposal seeks to do just that.

C++ Standard Evolution Active Issues List (Revision R07)
C++ Standard Evolution Completed Issues List (Revision R07)
C++ Standard Evolution Closed Issues List (Revision R07)
by Ville Voutilainen
Excerpt:
The purpose of this document is to record the status of issues which have come before the Evolution Working Group (EWG) of the INCITS PL22.16 and ISO WG21 C++ Standards Committee. Issues represent potential defects in the ISO/IEC IS 14882:2003(E) document, and proposed extensions to it.

C++ Status
by Jens Weller
From the Article:
This is the followup I promised after my last series for Issaquah. The current status of the standardization is that C++14 is on its final way to become a new ISO Standard, as you can see on the C++ Status Page of isocpp.org.

Created by Peter Sommerlad March 6, 2014
From the presentation:
Why is C++ in again?
• more computing per Watt!
• mobile - battery powered
• servers - cloud computing
• high-performance computing & GPUs
• better abstractions than C
• without performance price (e.g. of a VM)
• embedded (higher-level type safety)
• security (buffer overruns, pointers)

C++11 support is still an interesting topic, even that GCC and Clang now fully support it. Also the upcoming C++14 standard is already getting implemented by a lot of compilers. There are two very interesting publications about this topic in recent weeks, first, on italiancpp.org there is a PDF on C++11 and C++14 feature support for Visual C++, Intel, Clang and GCC. Also Just a few days ago, a interesting blogpost about this topic was published on C++Rocks, focussing on compiler and library support:
C++11/14 compiler and library shootout
by C++ Rocks
From the Article:
It’s been almost a year since my last comparison of C++11 support across different compilers, so I decided to take a break from working on my book about C++11/14 features in VS2013, and see how things have changed.

This document proposes a number of wording fixes, as suggested in Issaquah meeting, to optional objects proposed in N3793. We do not propose any changes in the functionality. We only reworded the standardese, and applied bug fixes: ...

Proposal for Unbounded-Precision Integer Types
by Pete Becker
Excerpt:
Programmers sometimes need to manipulate integer values that are too large to repesent with C++’s standard integer types. Doing a Google search for terms that describe large integers produces many hits for libraries that handle large integers. These libraries vary in quality, from hacks by beginners to sophisticated, professional implementations. Also, Java has unbounded precision integers as part of its standard class library.
One important use for unbounded-precision integers is cryptography. Cryptographic applications typically manipulate integer values of several hundred digits. If the C++ standard library provides facilities for such values it will make cryptographic applications easier to write and to port.
There have been two Committee papers proposing unbounded-precision integer libraries for C++: N1718 (2004) and N2143 (2007), both by M.J. Kronenburg. Nothing was done with these papers, in part because there was too much else going on in the Library Working Group at the time. Now that the Committee is looking to greatly expand the scope of the standard library, it’s time to reconsider unbounded-precision integers.
