A customizable framework -- Andrzej KrzemieĊski
How to write customizable framework which would work on "practically any type". This article is continuation of author previous post: "Overload resolution".
A customizable framework
by Andrzej Krzemieński
From the article:
We want to provide a function (or a set of overloaded functions) that would ‘do the right job’ for ‘practically any type’, or for ‘as many types as possible’. As an example of such ‘job’ consider std::hash: what we want to avoid is the situation, where you want to use some type X as a key in the standard hash-map, but you are refused because std::hash does not ‘work’ for X. In order to minimize the disappointment, the Standard Library makes sure std::hash works with any reasonable built-in or standard-library type. For all the other types, that the Standard Library cannot know in advance, it offers a way to ‘customize’ std::hash so that they can be made to work with hash-maps.
C++11 threads, affinity and hyperthreading -- Eli Bendersky
How to use C++11 threads library for setting various attributes related to thread affinity/hyper-threading.
C++11 threads, affinity and hyperthreading
by Eli Bendersky
From the article:
This post is not a tutorial on C++11 threads, but it uses them as the main threading mechanism to demonstrate its points. It starts with a basic example but then quickly veers off into the specialized area of thread affinities, hardware topologies and performance implications of hyperthreading. It does as much as feasible in portable C++, clearly marking the deviations into platform-specific calls for the really specialized stuff.

CppCast Episode 41: Game Development with C++ and Javascript with Mark Logan
Episode 41 of CppCast the only podcast for C++ developers by C++ developers. In this episode Rob and Jason are joined by Mark Logan from Artillery to discuss his experience building a game engine in Javascript and C++!
CppCast Episode 41: Game Development with C++ and Javascript with Mark Logan
by Rob Irving and Jason Turner
About the interviewee:
Mark started learning C++ with Borland Turbo C++ in high school, so that he could build video games. After 20 years, he's finally starting to feel like he knows what he's doing. After graduating from Northeastern University's College of Computer Science, Mark spent 7 years at Google, mainly working on internal infrastructure and automation. More recently, he returned to his first love - game programming - and helped found a studio called Artillery. He's currently the tech lead on Artillery's free-to-play RTS, code-named Atlas. He spends his time working on performance optimization, networking, and solving cross-platform development problems.

Writing modern C++ servers using Wangle--James Perry
Nice use of modern C++:
Writing modern C++ servers using Wangle
by James Perry
From the article:
I mentioned in my previous post that I was able to build a prototype database engine within one day using Facebook’s Wangle so this post explains how I managed that. By the end of this post, you will be able to write a high-performance C++ server using Wangle. This post also serves as a tutorial which will be merged into Wangle’s README.md.
Android++ is now open source
The title says all:
Android++ is now open source
From the article:
Android++ is a freely distributed extension and associated MSBuild scripts designed to enable Android application development within Visual Studio. Primarily for NDK based C/C++ applications, it also incorporates customisable deployment, resource management, and integrated Java source compilation.
