C++ Weekly Episode 44: constexpr Compile Time Random—Jason Turner
Episode 44 of C++ Weekly.
constexpr Compile Time Random
by Jason Turner
About the show:
In this episode Jason demonstrates a constexpr enabled random number generator. He then modifies it to generate a different random number sequence each time it is compiled.
Return early and clearly--Arne Mertz
How to return well:
Return early and clearly
by Arne Mertz
From the article:
There are different guidelines out there about where and how many return statements to use in a function, e.g. return only once at the end of the function or return early and often. Which one makes for the most readable code?

Simplifying templates and #ifdefs with if constexpr--Simon Brand
The new if constexpr will change a good part of our code for the better!
Simplifying templates and #ifdefs with if constexpr
by Simon Brand
From the article:
if constexpris a C++17 feature which allows conditionally compiling code based on template parameters in a clear and minimal fashion. It is essentially an if statement where the branch is chosen at compile-time, and any not-taken branches are discarded without being instantiated...
C++ 17 Transformation...--phantom
The transformation is only a beginning towards catching up from C++98, but it does show why modern C++ features improve your code.
C++ 17 Transformation...
by phantom
From the article:
I'm basically really bad at working on my own projects, but with the recent release of Visual Studio 2017 RC and its improved C++17 support I figured it was time to crack on again...
To that end I've spent a bit of time today updating my own basic windowing library to use C++17 features. Some of the things have been simple transforms such as converting 'typedef' to 'using', others have been more OCD satisfying...
Basic dependent typing -- Krzysztof Ostrowski
Using fundamental types to do "simple things simple" fits very well in the most of cases.
Basic dependent typing
by Krzysztof Ostrowski
From the article:
If we assume that our application uses only a subset of values carried by given fundamental type, we are likely to get warning from the compiler. We shall take that warning seriously. How to inform type system about our assumptions? Example solutions follow.
