Template Arguments
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
It is quite interesting how the compiler deduces the types for the template arguments. To make it short, you get most of the time the type you expect. The rules do not only apply to function templates (C++98) but also to auto (C++11), to class templates (C++17), and concepts (C++20)...

<format> in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.10
by Charlie Barto
From the article:
C++20 adds a new text formatting facility to the standard library, designed primarily to replace snprintf and friends with a fast and type safe interface. The standardized library is based on the existing {fmt} library, so users of that library will feel at home.
Before diving into how std::format works I want to thank Victor Zverovich, Elnar Dakeshov, Casey Carter, and miscco, all of whom made substantial contributions to this feature, and were the reason why we could complete it so quickly...

Alias Templates and Template Parameters
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
Today, I write about two topics: alias templates and template parameters. Alias templates are a way to give a name to a family of types. Template parameters can be types, non-types, and templates themselves.

Today, CppCon 2021 opened its Call for Submissions. If you have a talk idea, or know someone who does, we encourage you to make a submission!
CppCon 2021 Call for Submissions
As previously announced, CppCon 2021 will take place both in-person and on-line. The in-person event is a full normal CppCon conference, and the on-line conference will be coordinated and integrated, not a separate disconnected event; more details on that will be posted as we get closer:
The Hybrid Experience
After this CfS, what's next? From the article:
[Next], we'll open Early Bird Registration for both online attendees and for in-person attendees who are vaccinated (or plan to be by October 1), with the goal of opening in-person registration further as we all learn more about what will be safe in October.
Please consider whether your plans this fall can include joining us by connecting online, or traveling in-person to Aurora, Colorado, to be part of what will certainly be one of the most memorable CppCons ever this October 24-29.

7 Top Tips for Debugging C++
by Greg Law
From the article:
Brian Kernighan famously said, “Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you’re as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?”. For me, this doesn’t just mean “keep it simple.” It also means debugging is central to programming – you cannot be a great programmer without being great at debugging. Hopefully, my favorite C++ debugging tips will help you be as clever and productive debugging your code as you are writing it in the first place...
