Today I have the honor to give the kick-off for the official planning and participation in Meeting C++2020:
Announcing Meeting C++ 2020
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Meeting C++ returns with its 2020 conference edition! Like in the previous years, we'll be meeting in Berlin from the 12. - 14th November!
With the current situation of COVID-19, planning events for this year is difficult, though I have decided to go ahead and start the preparations for Meeting C++ 2020! I will keep you posted through out 2020 on the changes for this years conference!
shared_ptr - basics and internals with examples--Hitesh Kumar
Did you know it?
shared_ptr - basics and internals with examples
by Hitesh Kumar
From the article:
The C++11 std::shared_ptr<T> is a shared ownership smart pointer type. Several shared_ptr instances can share the management of an object's lifetime through a common control block. The managed object is deleted when the last owning shared_ptr is destroyed (or is made to point to another object). Memory management by shared_ptr is deterministic because the timing of a managed object's destruction is predictable and in the developer's control. Hence, std::shared_ptr brings deterministic automatic memory management to C++, without the overhead of garbage collection. Here is a basic example of shared_ptr...
Virtual, final and override in C++--Jonathan Boccara
3 keywords that go together.
Virtual, final and override in C++
by Jonathan Boccara
From the article:
C++11 added two keywords that allow to better express your intentions with what you want to do with virtual functions: override and final. They allow to express your intentions both to fellow humans reading your code as well as to the compiler.
However, as we will see, the intention of override is super useful, but the intention of final… is harder to understand.
Both apply to virtual functions, which are the member functions of a base class that can be overridden by the classes that derive (inherit) from it...
Move, simply--Herb Sutter
No need to get complicated.
Move, simply
by Herb Sutter
From the article:
C++ “move” semantics are simple, but they are still widely misunderstood. This post is an attempt to shed light on that situation...
Reverse For Loops in C++--Carlos Buchart
How do you do it?
Reverse For Loops in C++
by Carlos Buchart
From the article:
As we saw when working on dynamic bitsets, it can be useful to traverse a collection backwards, from its last element to its first one.
It would be nice to be able to use C++11 range for loops to iterate backwards. But unfortunately, there is no such reverse range-for: range-for only works forwards.
Let’s see how to traverse a collection backwards by using a range for loop...
Quick Q: Setting a vector equal to {}
Quick A: It is possible.
Recently on SO:
Setting a vector equal to {};
It's valid (since C++11).

C++ User Group meetings in January 2020
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Happy new years! The year has begun, and lots of C++ User Groups have their first meeting of 2020.
Would like to start your own group or looking for ideas in running your current group? Watch my talk from CppCon:
