Modern C++ In-Depth — Move Semantics, Part 1
by Ralph Kootker
From the article
This week, we’re beginning a new series of posts exploring some of the more technically challenging features of C++11 and beyond. [...] For our first topic, we’re going to take a look at how we can use move-semantics to avoid some potentially expensive copies.

Improving Stability with Modern C++, Part 4 — Memory Management
by Ralph Kootker
From the article
When we started learning C++, we were all taught that every
newneeds a correspondingdelete. But sometimes we'd forget, or some code might throw an exception we weren't ready for, and then we'd leak memory. [...] With rare exceptions, C++ programmers should not have to writenewordeleteever again.

First steps using modern C++
Improving Stability with Modern C++, Part 3 — The
autoKeyword
by Ralph Kootker, FactSet
From the article:
Beginning with C++11,
autotriggers type deduction similar to how templates work. It enables code to be more concise, can improve readability, and in some cases even improve performance.

Template Metaprogramming - How it All Started
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
Metaprogramming is programming on programs. C++ applies metaprogramming at compile time. It started in C++98 with template metaprogramming, was formalized in C++11 with the type-traits library, and since C++11 has steadily improved. The main driving force is constant expressions. In this post, I want to write about its roots...

Update your C++ skills with Meeting C++!
How Meeting C++ can help you to close your C++ knowledge gap
by Jens Weller
From the article
With 1.5 years of the pandemic behind us and one more "season" ahead for many of us, I'd like to show you how you can improve your C++ skills with the events organized by Meeting C++!
Meeting C++ organizes many online Events on Hubilo with its Meeting C++ online User Group. This started over a year ago and today it hosts 1 - 2 evenings of C++ content per month. Usually a talk or a fair like the online C++ job fair or the book & tool fair. The next meeting of this User Group is next week, hosting Daisy Hollmans CppCon Talk What you can learn from being too cute: why you should write code that you should never write.

Improving Stability with Modern C++, Part 2 — Range-Based For-Loops
by Ralph Kootker, FactSet
From the article:
Last time we began FactSet’s journey into modern C++ with the new keywords nullptr and override. This week we'll explore a new language feature introduced in C++11, the range-based for-loop.

Automatic Return Type (C++98)
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
Depending on the used C++ standard, there are different ways to return the right return type of a function template. In this post, I start with traits (C++98), continue in my next post with C++11/14, and end with concepts (C++20)...

Template Instantiation
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
Template instantiation is the creation of a concrete function or a concrete class out of a function template or class template. The creation of template instantiation can be implicit (compiler-generated) or explicit (user-provided)...

Template Arguments
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
It is quite interesting how the compiler deduces the types for the template arguments. To make it short, you get most of the time the type you expect. The rules do not only apply to function templates (C++98) but also to auto (C++11), to class templates (C++17), and concepts (C++20)...
