Dive into C++14 - [3] - Generic "unique resource" wrapper

By Vittorio Romeo | Dec 8, 2015 05:31 PM | Tags: None

Vittorio Romeo expands the Dive into C++14 series with a new video covering the implementation of a generic "unique resource" wrapper.

Dive into C++14 - [3]

About the tutorial:

This new tutorial covers the implementation of a generic "unique resource" class, with the same ownership semantics as std::unique_ptr.

std::unique_ptr is not limited to pointer-like handles - by adapting other kinds of handles to the `NullablePointer` concept, it can still be used. Nevertheless, for educational purposes and to understand the commonalities between resource types and handle types, we're going to implement our own std::unique_ptr-like generic "unique wrapper".

The video shows the implementation of the resource class and the abstraction of the behavior of several example resource types (heap-allocated pointers, OpenGL VBOs, int-based-handle APIs).

All the code is available on GitHub. The code segments are thoroughly commented and can be read as a tutorial without watching the video, if preferred.

CppCon 2015: Last online videos (5)

By Adrien Hamelin | Oct 22, 2015 01:39 PM | Tags: community

The videos of CppCon 2015 are coming online. You can see them all here: Youtube or Channel 9

Here are the most recent ones:

  • CLANG + C2 - Engineering/Futures/Measurements
  • C++ devirtualization in clang
  • Algorithmic Differentiation: C++ & Extremum Estimation

 

CLANG + C2 - Engineering/Futures/Measurements by James Radigan

The talk will cover the CLANG + c2.dll compiler for the Microsoft platform. It will contain parts of the talk given at //Build 2015 that can be found on line: "Compiling Objective-C Using the Visual Studio 2015 C++ Code Generation that Builds Windows, SQL, .Net, and Office". The focus this time will be on C++.

The talk will disclose the architecture of how we tied the CLANG open source front end with the Microsoft optimizing backends (several configurations are needed) and how far we are from providing a CTP for public consumption targeting 4 different architectures. Included in this section will be a disclosure of data on compile time, memory consumption, conformance and correctness.

In addition the talk will cover the nuts and bolts of several key innovative compiler and runtime technologies we will be delivering in the Visual Studio 2015 updates (Fall, Winter and Spring). New investments in the compiler and runtime space include: Improved optimization and auto-vectorization, more secure code generation, incremental whole program compilation, and new asynchronous C++ code generation.
