Explications of the noexcept keyword:

Modern C++ Features – keyword `noexcept`

by Arne Mertz

From the article:

I have written about handling exceptions some time ago, and about the levels of exception safety last week. What I have not touched yet are exception specifications. I will catch up on those with this post.

C++98 had the possibility to denote the types of exceptions that could be thrown from a given function by using throw(<exception list>). In theory, the runtime had to check if any exception emitted by the function was indeed in that list or derived from one of the types in the list. If it wasn’t, the handler std::unexpected would be called...

Levels of Exception Safety--Arne Mertz

A nice introduction to C++ exceptions:

Levels of Exception Safety

by Arne Mertz

From the article:

Exceptions are part of C++. They are thrown by the standard library classes, and sometimes even if we are not really using the standard library. So, unless we are in a very restrictive environment like embedded programming and have exceptions disabled in the compiler, we need to be prepared and deal with the fact that exceptions simply can happen.

C++ en la industria del videojuego

by Jordi Mon Companys.

What to expect?

Jose Daniel García will moderate a table of experts in gamedev in C++ that will friendly elbaorate on the state of the language on regards to gamedev, its advantages and threats. Afterwards we will join forces with Product Hunt Madrid and we will have the chance to hear how King develops its games and how a group of students from U-Tad university have managed to get their game nominated to the Play Station Awards. We will water down our thoughts and reflections with plenty of beer thanks to King.com's sponsorship.

Introduction to Variable Templates of C++14--Yu Xuan Zhang

Do you know about variable templates?

Introduction to Variable Templates of C++14

by Yu Xuan Zhang

From the article:

The variable template, which comes from N3651, is one of the major proposals in Standard C++14. The main purpose of the variable template is to simplify definitions and uses of parameterized constants.

Rules before C++14 do not allow declaring a variable using a template declaration. There are workarounds for this problem before C++14, but they are either redundant or complicated...
