The series continue.
C++20: Concepts, the Details
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
In my last post C++20: Two Extremes and the Rescue with Concepts, I gave the first motivation for concepts. Concepts put semantic constraints on template parameters. Today, I present different use-cases for concepts in a compact form...
Named Template Arguments--Barry Revzin
It's coming!
Named Template Arguments
by Barry Revzin
From the article:
C++, unlike many other programming languages, doesn’t have named function parameters or named function arguments. I hope it will someday, it’s a language feature that I find has large benefits for readability. Until then, in C++20, we actually have the ability to do a decent approximation not only of named function arguments but also named template arguments...

CopperSpice: CsPaint - Rendering with Vulkan
New video on the CopperSpice YouTube Channel:
CsPaint - Rendering with Vulkan
by Barbara Geller and Ansel Sermersheim
About the video:
In this video, we discuss the CsPaint library and why vector graphics rendered on the GPU are going to become more important as high DPI monitors become more common. We also explain why Vulkan can provide better performance than OpenGL.

CLion 2019.3: A Quality-Targeted Release Focused on Performance and Some Long-Awaited Enhancements
by Anastasia Kazakova
From the article:
Improving the IDE performance and fixing major bugs are always a top priority for our team. In this update we have been focusing especially on improving the performance in specific areas, eliminating UI freezes (not all, but many of them have been melted away!), and enhancing the editor and the integrations for our users:
- Clangd-based code completion
- Debugger updates
- Ninja and other CMake generators
- Switching between Header/Source files
- Code Coverage
- C++20’s Concepts

About the conference
emBO++ features different kinds of presentations. In parallel to classic 50-min full-length and 15-min lightning-talks, there will be 180-min workshops. Furthermore people that don’t want to speak to a whole class, but still want to present their current work may apply for a poster-presentation spot. Posters will be hung in the forum for every visitor to see, presenters can get a small table if they’d like to. In order to apply for any of the mentioned presentations, just fill out the form on emBO.io
