Top 10 Bugs Found in C++ Projects in 2019

Another year is drawing to an end, and it's a perfect time to make yourself a cup of coffee and reread the reviews of bugs collected across open-source projects over this year.

Top 10 Bugs Found in C++ Projects in 2019

From the article:

float yScale = 1.0 / tan((3.141592538 / 180.0) * fov / 2);

There's a tiny typo in the Pi number (3,141592653...): the number "6" is missing at the 7th decimal place.
 

C++ coroutines: Short-circuiting suspension, part 1--Raymond Chen

The series continue.

C++ coroutines: Short-circuiting suspension, part 1

by Raymond Chen

From the article:

At the start of this series, I gave the basic idea for how the compiler generates code for co_await, but I left out some details for expository simplicity. There are some mysterious steps called “We’re not ready to talk about this step yet.”

Now it’s time to talk about one of those steps...

The Modern C++ type CoDec Challenge -- Will Wray

A meta-programming challenge in compound type destructuring

The Modern C++ type CoDec Challenge

by Will Wray

From the article:

(Assumes intermediate to advanced level C++ with some meta skills.)

Find the most effective, modern way to:  

  1. Decompose a compound type then  
  2. Represent its structure and traverse it

...

What is it?

A challenge in the spirit of Herb's GotW running ∓20 days over NY 2020:

20 days of Modern C++ ranging from 'retro' TMP to latest C++2a features,
20 days of Post Modern C++ looking ahead to an era of static reflection.

  • A personal challenge to learn about types, introspection and meta coding
  • A community challenge towards effective methods of type decomposition
