Episode 144 of C++ Weekly.
Pure Functions in C++
by Jason Turner
About the show:
In this episode of C++ Weekly Jason takes a look at the gcc
[[gnu::pure]]extension attribute. What are the implications of pure functions to the compiler and how can it take advantage of this extra information?

Episode 177 of CppCast the first podcast for C++ developers by C++ developers. In this episode Rob and Jason are joined by Lenny Maiorani to discuss TDD, BDD, Low Latency and CppCon moving to Denver.
CppCast Episode 177: BDD, TDD, Low Latency and CppCon with Lenny Maiorani
by Rob Irving and Jason Turner
About the interviewee:
Lenny has been using C++ off and on since 1995. Since graduating from SUNY Plattsburgh with a degree in Computer Science, he has been working at startups focused on high-throughput applications. About 2 years ago he joined Quantlab and discovered a different type of high-performance computing in low latency systems. Lenny lives in Denver, Colorado with his wife Lexey and their dog. He can be found hiking in the Colorado mountains while thinking about container access patterns and wondering if std::map can be renamed to std::ordered_map.

New video on the CopperSpice YouTube Channel:
Sequencing
by Barbara Geller and Ansel Sermersheim
About the video:
This video discusses sequencing and the ordering of expressions. We look at how the idea of sequence points was redesigned as the more general system of sequencing in C++11 and how new sequence rules were added in C++17 to further constrain expression evaluation. We also show how a detailed understanding of side effects and their interaction with sequencing is required to avoid undefined behavior.

Pacific++ 2018: C++ Past vs. Future
by Titus Winters
From the video:
Over the last 35 years, C++ has remained a constant fixture in the programming landscape. With advancements in the language through C++11, 14, and 17, we've created new dialects that have breathed new life into C++. With C++ Core Guidelines and a rich community of authors and speakers providing guidance on C++, it is easier now to steer clear of problem areas and hopefully stay in the "good parts" of the language.
Or at least, that's what we'd like. In practice, many habits of C++ programmers are unsafe and will be hard to keep working. The triple perils of ADL, ODR, and ABI leave a wide assortment of pitfalls for code maintenance. Many systems happen to work, but perhaps more out of luck than actual correctness.
How do we explain this dichotomy? How is the language better than it ever has been, and at the same time so dangerous and burdened with silent pitfalls and legacy? Can the standard evolve over time to reduce these perils? More importantly: should it?
In this talk I'll remind people of how precarious most C++ code is in the face of change (like advancing to a new language version), and discuss the most fundamental issue facing the committee these days: how to balance between the legacy code of the past and the yet-to-be-written code of the future.

Episode 173 of CppCast the only podcast for C++ developers by C++ developers. In this episode Rob and Jason are joined by Adi Shavit to discuss his spooky C++ Bestiary Blog post, CppCon talks and an announcement from the Core C++ User Group in Israel.
CppCast Episode 173: C++ Bestiary with Adi Shavit
by Rob Irving and Jason Turner
About the interviewee:
Adi is an entrepreneur, speaker, consultant, software architect and a computer vision and machine learning expert with an emphasis on real-time applications. He specializes in building cross-platform, high-performance software combined with high production quality and maintainable code-bases. Adi is the founder of the Core C++ users group in Israel.
Having worked on proprietary software for most of his career, his most visible contribution to the world of open-source software is, somewhat ironically, the design of the OpenCV logo.

New video on the CopperSpice YouTube Channel:
What do you do when your codebase is old enough to vote?
by Barbara Geller and Ansel Sermersheim
About the video:
This video explains our perspective on the process of modernizing an old codebase. We discuss what a codebase is, what considerations you should keep in mind during the migration, and strategies to use during the migration process. We also look at which version of the C++ standard to target and why refactoring may not be a viable direction.
