Some news on Meeting C++ 2020! Attendees will be able to attend AMA sessions with...

During CppCon I noticed how well AMA sessions went and that they are a great feature for an online conference. And for some time I knew that this years conference has some extra space for content due to its online nature.

Refactoring from single to multi purpose

By Meeting C++ | Sep 16, 2020 05:50 AM | Tags: meetingcpp intermediate experimental community c++14 basics

Working on an old project, it came to my mind that I do this refactoring from one static path to multiple options for the 2nd time this year...

Refactoring from single to multi purpose

by Jens Weller

From the article:

For the second time this year I'm refactoring a program from a single purpose to have two or more modes of operation. Both times the start and end result is similar, just the processing is different. A classic case of using polymorphism.

The first program was a tool to process videos from speakers, find a face and export the subframe around it into a new video. The first mode was a good approach to test it, and gave results for some speakers. The second mode did a complete scan first, and then gave a smoother video for some videos. Still, both modes had to be retained...

Quick Q; Recursive unordered_map

By Adrien Hamelin | Jul 20, 2020 09:30 AM | Tags: basics

Quick A: there is no guarantee for a container to work with incomplete types.

Recently on SO:

Recursive unordered_map

STL containers are not required to work with incomplete types. If you don't mind extra indirection, then the workaround is std::map<int, std::unique_ptr<Node>>.

The voting on the talks for Meeting C++ 2020 begins!

by Jens Weller

From the article:

With today, you can start to vote on all submitted talks for Meeting C++ 2020! As 2020 is a bit special, it is less talks, but also this years conference will only feature one track, the voting will give me guiding in which talks to choose from speakers with multiple talks, but also will help to see which other speakers might should make it to the conference. Unlike prior years the main track can't be the mostly consisting out of the most popular talks of the voting.

C++ Template: A Quick UpToDate Look(C++11/14/17/20)

by Vishal Chovatiya

From the article:

I know, it’s been a while since the last time I published something newbies-friendly on my blog. The main reason is that most of my readers are either experienced devs or from C background having modest C++ encounter. But while programming in C++ you need a completely different mindset as both C & C++ belongs to different programming paradigm. And I always strive to show them a better way of doing things in C++. Anyway, I found the topic which is lengthy, reasonably complex(at least it was for me), newbies-friendly as well as energizing for experienced folks(if Modern C++ jargons, rules & features added) i.e. C++ Template.

I will start with a simple class/function template and as we move along, will increase the complexity. And also cover the advance topics like the variadic template, nested template, CRTP, template vs fold-expression, etc. But, yes! we would not take deeper dive otherwise this would become a book rather than an article.
