C++20's Lambda Usability Changes
by Jason Turner
About the show:
C++20 brings many different changes to lambdas, and two of these changes greatly affect the ways in which lambdas can be used. In this episode Jason discusses the use of lambdas in unevaluated contexts and the default constructability of lambdas in C++20.

Episode 181 of CppCast the first podcast for C++ developers by C++ developers. In this episode Rob and Jason are joined by Isabella Muerte to discuss her experience presenting multiple papers at her first ISO meeting in San Diego and her thoughts on Merged Modules.
CppCast Episode 181: ISO Papers and Merged Modules with Isabella Muerte
by Rob Irving and Jason Turner
About the interviewee:
Isabella Muerte is a C++ Bruja, Build System Titan, and an open source advocate. She cares deeply about improving the workflow and debugging experience the C++ community currently has and is designing and implementing an experimental next-generation build system called Coven based on ideas mentioned in her CppCon 2017 talk "There Will Be Build Systems", while also simultaneously ripping CMake apart and putting it back together again with a library titled IXM. She recently launched aliasa.io, a small URL routing service intended for the CMake FetchContent module. She enjoys playing Destiny 2, acquiring tattoos, and is currently trying to master the five elements of earth, wind, water, fire, and gun (but she makes no promises). She bows to no entity but the terrifying Eldritch Daystar we call the "sun", and hopes to one day own two german shepherds named Rip and Tear.

New video on the CopperSpice YouTube Channel:
Linkage
by Barbara Geller and Ansel Sermersheim
About the video:
In this video, we cover the often overlooked topic of linkage and linkers. We talk about how translation units relate to object files, the various types of symbols, and debugging link errors. We also look at how anonymous namespaces interact with symbol linkage.

In today’s blog, we look at both the newly minted Study Group for education in the C++ Standard Committee. We also look at a small number of conference videos that I recommend teachers consider while they’re waiting for this Study Group to produce usable materials.
SG20 Education and Recommended Videos for Teaching C++
by Christopher Di Bella
From the article:
As articulated in P1231, the goal of SG20 is not to provide normative curricula for teaching C++, but rather to provide teaching and curriculum guidelines.
...
Below are a list of conference videos that I’ve compiled for teachers to watch (and will update if recommendations come in). There’s well over a day’s worth of videos below, but these aren’t a random assortment of my favourite conference videos. Rather, they are sessions that communicate values about:
- teaching people how to write programs using C++, or
- writing C++ programs using approaches the community agrees produce better code.

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?
