A quick introduction.
The Regular Expression Library
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
My original plan was it to write about the rules of the C++ Core Guidelines to the regex and chrono library, but besides the subsection title, there is no content available. I already wrote a few posts about time functionality. So I'm done. Today, I fill the gap and write about the regex library.

doctest stands out with its ability to write tests in a new and easier way, unlocking the potential for more thorough, up-to-date, and uniform testing.
ReSharper C++: Better Ways to Test C++ with doctest
by Viktor Kirilov
From the article:
What truly sets doctest apart is the ability to use it alongside your production code. This is made possible because of 5 main properties:
- lightning speed of compilation - see the benchmarks
- ability to remove everything testing-related from binaries for final production builds by defining a global preprocessor identifier
- easy integration with the main() function of applications - supporting 3 scenarios: only tests, only the program, and both
- ability to write tests across multiple shared objects and have them registered in a single place for uniform reporting
- transparency - no warnings or other artifacts
Going a step further – doctest can even be used as a general-purpose assert library within the production code itself - outside of a testing context!
Here is a direct question/answer thread of a user interested in mixing production code and tests.

In this article, a new programming technology for C++ has been introduced.
A new technology for C++ and its application to the multithreading
by Erkam Murat Bozkurt
From the article:
This technology acts as a separate intelligent actor simplifying software development process. In fact, this technology is a new meta-programming system which builds application specific libraries for its users. The tools that are built on the library construction process collect status information from the process and act as autonomous process management systems. This new programming technology may offer a good alternative for interpreters that are used on high level languages.

It's a kind of humorous talk about the life of a development team which also deals with supporting C and C++ programmers. Actually, working with programmers is a lot of fun, and it is very productive. Not only can they send you a memory dump, but sometimes even partially solve the problem themselves and give you a hint. However, there's a flip side. If they have a technical issue, be ready to consume pints of coffee and loads of cookies. I shall tell you about our interesting and funny experience related to technical support of the PVS-Studio analyser - for example, how the tool goes nuts when coming across a 26mb string literal.

Quick A: in the order of declaration in the class.
Recently on SO:
Constructor initialization-list evaluation order
It depends on the order of member variable declaration in the class. So a_ will be the first one, then b_ will be the second one in your example.

C++ Core Guidelines: Improved Performance with Iostreams

From the article:
As easy as my title and the rules of the C++ core guidelines sound, getting more performance out of the Iostreams is no no-brainer...

Quick A: the result is the same as calling the function you're forwarding to directly.
Recently on SO:
Concise explanation of reference collapsing rules requested: (1) A& & -> A& , (2) A& && -> A& , (3) A&& & -> A& , and (4) A&& && -> A&&
The reference collapsing rules (save for A& & -> A&, which is C++98/03) exist for one reason: to allow perfect forwarding to work...
