CLion started 2018.3 Early Access Program with one of the most awaited feature request – remote development support
Stay local, let your IDE do remote work for you!
by Anastasia Kazakova
From the article:
We’ve started with a particular set-up, though we do plan to cover and come to up with more cases in the future. So we are calling the current support state – initial:
- Local client machine: Unix-like (macOS, Linux)
- Remote host: Linux
- Sources location: originally on the local host, CLion will synchronize to the remote machine for you
- Project model: only CMake projects
- rsync is required to be installed on a remote host

The case for Auto Non-Static Data Member Initializers
By Corentin Jabot
From the article:
In this article, we talk about Auto Non-Static Data Member Initializers in C++. All code snippet can be tested on Compiler Explorer thanks to Matt Godbolt.
In fact, the main motivation for this article is to put this feature in the hand of people to prove that it works and that it would be a great addition to the standard.

Have you registered for CppCon 2018 in September? Late registration is open now.
While we wait for this year’s event, we’re featuring videos of some of the 100+ talks from CppCon 2017 for you to enjoy. Here is today’s feature:
Web | C++
by Lukas Bergdoll
(watch on YouTube) (watch on Channel 9)
Summary of the talk:
Have you ever tried writing a web application with C++? Can opening a file and serving it via HTTP be as simple as writing 20 lines of python? With the undeniable importance of web development, C++ can not allow itself to ignore such an important field, especially with the rising competition in the field of system programming languages, coming from Rust, D and Go.
Join us as we explore modern approaches to asynchronous IO, socket communication the advantages and disadvantages of using a unikernel and their respective performance implications.
We'll also take a look at how future iterations of the C++ standard library, could solve some of those problems.

Book to learn.
Professional C++ 4th Edition, Book Review
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
As usually, C++ needs good books and up-to-date learning resources. In this review, I’d like to present a book that should significantly enhance your knowledge of Modern C++, including C++17.
Let’s see what’s inside...

Using the std to remove.
How to Remove Elements from a Sequence Container in C++
by Jonathan Boccara
From the article:
As part of the STL Learning Resource, we’re tackling today the STL algorithms that remove elements from a collection.
Removing an element from a C++ collection can’t be that complicated, can it?
Well, how can I put it… It has a rich complexity, let’s say.
Ok, maybe it’s a little complicated.
We will cover this topic in a series of four articles:
- How to Remove Elements from a Sequence Container (vector, string, deque, list)
- How to Remove Pointers from a Vector in C++ (co-written with Gaurav Sehgal)
- How to Remove Elements from an Associative Container (maps and sets)
- How to Remove Duplicates from an Associative Container

C++ Links #2
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
Welcome to new C++ Links - most important and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happened between 8th and 14th of September. Today you will find a link to a post about the C++ quality of life features, a video with an explanation of the difference between const and constexpr, an article that describes some of SFINAE problems and many others.

Modern C++ Features – Quality-of-Life Features
by Arne Mertz
From the article:
With the new C++ standards, we got a lot of features that feel like “quality-of-life” features. They make things easier for the programmer but do not add functionality that wasn’t already there. Except, some of those features do add functionality we couldn’t implement manually.
Some of those quality-of-life features are really exactly that. The standard often describes them as being equivalent to some alternative code we can actually type. Others are mostly quality-of-life, but there are edge cases where we can not get the effect by hand, or the feature is slightly superior to the manual implementation.
I will concentrate on core language features here, since most library features are implementable using regular C++. Only a few library features use compiler intrinsics...
