Episode 22 of CppCast the only podcast by C++ developers for C++ developers. In this episode Rob and Jason are joined by David Stone to discuss his bounded integer library.

CppCast Episode 22: Bounded Integers with David Stone

by Rob Irving and Jason Turner

About the interviewee:

David Stone has spoken at C++Now and Meeting C++. He is the author of the bounded::integer library and has a special interest in compile-time code generation and error checking, as well as machine learning. He owns DoubleWise C++ Consulting, providing on-site training with an emphasis on performance and correctness. He also works at Markit integrating real-time financial data. He once wrote an optimizing compiler that solved the halting problem, and is just waiting for it to finish compiling his program.

 

The Dos and Don'ts of Multithreading -- Hubert Matthews

Hubert Matthews talked at the this year's ACCU conference in Bristol with lot's of examples and detailed insight about:

The Dos and Don'ts of Multithreading

by Hubert Matthews

From the conference's schedule:

Multithreading is a popular subject and we've all been led to believe that we need to write threaded programs as single-threaded performance hits a ceiling. However, multithreading is no panacea and may cause more problems than it solves. This talk, suitable for programmers of any level and language, seeks to describe some of these problems and also how to avoid them through appropriate design choices.

Large-Scale Scientific C++ For Casual Coders: Why You (Should) Care -- Axel Naumann

Axel Naumann talked in his this year's keynote at the ACCU conference in Bristol about

Large-Scale Scientific C++ For Casual Coders: Why You (Should) Care

by Axel Naumann

From the ACCU's schedule:

This keynote will introduce the use of C++ for storing and analyzing petabytes of C++ objects at CERN, and more generally in High Energy Physics. Many hundreds of developers, including physicists with limited software skills, have contributed to a code base of > 50 million lines of code that has a lifetime of more than 40 years. Axel will talk about the approach taken in order to provide robust and efficient code, including how novices 'conquer' giant interface worlds. He will present a few of the 'tasty' projects that have proven to be useful for people who don't smash particles on a daily basis, for instance their C++ interpreter and a massively scalable web-based file system.
