The Most Vexing Parse: How to Spot It and Fix It Quickly
by Jonathan Boccara
From the article:
Everyone has their little defaults. You know, that little something that they do from time to time and that gets on your nerves, even though they’re otherwise nice people?
For C++, one of these little annoyances is the most vexing parse, well, as its name suggests...

It needs to be used carefully, but has its uses.
C++ Comma Operator
by Ivan Sanz
From the article:
Comma operator has been with us for a long time. First seen in C spec and improved with custom overloads in C++, it quickly became one of those hidden things you shouldn’t use.
Most C/C++ books avoid speaking about goto the same way they do about comma operator. This is not fair, as both of them can be used properly on certain cases. Let’s speak about that...

Episode 96 of C++ Weekly.
Transparent Lambda Comparators
by Jason Turner
About the show:
In this episode Jason explores the use of lambdas as comparators for the associative containers. Just how far can we take the use of lambdas? Variadic templates, forwarding references, multiple inheritance, variadic "using" declarations, local classes, transparent comparators and direct base class initialization are all utilized in this video.

Red Hat at the ISO C++ Standards Meeting (November 2017): Parallelism and Concurrency
by Torvald Riegel
From the article:
Several Red Hat engineers attended the JTC1/SC22/WG21 C++ Standards Committee meetings in November 2017. This post focuses on the sessions of SG1, the study group on parallelism and concurrency. SG1 had a full schedule as usual, with Executors, Futures, and deferred reclamation mechanisms (e.g., RCU) being major discussion topics. We also started to track the state of proposals and topics we will need to discuss in a publicly accessible bug tracker...

Your own type predicate
by Andrzej Krzemieński
From the article:
In this post we will see how to define a type trait or a type predicate or a meta-function that would allow us to check at compile time whether a type exposes an interface that we need. That is, we want to check if a given type T has:
- nested typename result_type,
- static member function set_limit that takes one argument of type int,
- member function get_result that returns type const result_type& and that is declared not to throw exceptions...

Boris Schäling offers a new C++ master class.
The Boost C++ Master Class
by Boris Schäling
About the training:
Welcome to a 2-day training that strives to deepen your understanding of the Boost C++ Libraries. As of today, the Boost C++ Libraries are the most important stepping stone if you want to increase your productivity as a C++ developer and significantly improve the quality of your code. In-depth knowledge of the Boost C++ Libraries empowers you to write code that is shorter, more expressive, less error-prone, more agile, and more future proof.
Boris Schäling is one of the world’s leading professional Boost C++ expert. He has seen multiple times how detailed knowledge of the Boost C++ Libraries can turn a C++ developer into an exceptional C++ developer. Boris Schäling is an active member of the Boost community. He is the author of the book "The Boost C++ Libraries" and responsible for the website theboostcpplibraries.com.
The training is for intermediate and advanced C++ developers. Advantage if you have some experience with the Boost libraries (prior knowledge of Boost helpful, but not required).
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to attend this 2-day course, to be held in Stockholm on the 13th-14th March, 2018. Please notice there are a limited number of seats.

C++ Coroutines: Understanding operator co_await
by Lewis Baker
From the article:
In the previous post on Coroutine Theory I described the high-level differences between functions and coroutines but without going into any detail on syntax and semantics of coroutines as described by the C++ Coroutines TS (N4680).
The key new facility that the Coroutines TS adds to the C++ language is the ability to suspend a coroutine, allowing it to be later resumed. The mechanism the TS provides for doing this is via the new co_await operator.
Understanding how the co_await operator works can help to demystify the behaviour of coroutines and how they are suspended and resumed. In this post I will be explaining the mechanics of the co_await operator and introduce the related Awaitable and Awaiter type concepts.
But before I dive into co_await I want to give a brief overview of the Coroutines TS to provide some context...
